i've changed my stock 195/55/R15 to 195/60/R15 for more comfort ride.
i guess the thinner, the better the handling? and nosier also.

no picture for 50series, but got pictures for other stuffs
just now i was bathing with my engine cover, then it becomes like this  after looking at sam's, i felt so inferior of mine... so i decided to clean it. so next time when we meet up again, at least i wont feel so embarrass to pop up my engine hood. its not that clean because the stains had been there for years, will have to clean it again next time when i'm back to my hometown.

QUOTE(victor_ho336 @ Dec 14 2009, 09:08 PM) im planning to change my 195/55/15 to 195/50/15 too~ better FC??? between...is it advisable to use 15" taiwan rim instead of ORI??? from what i heard, the original rim is 9kg each, and standard taiwan rim only weight 7kg which is good enough, you dont want too light, that will cause your rim to bend whenever you are driving in malaysia's road, any road! but i'm sure 15" wont get bend that easy.the original rim i meant was the very first batch waja rim, the fugly one. |

QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Dec 15 2009, 12:37 AM) Went out today looking for Bendix Metal King Titanium all over the spare part shop and came across one shop with Ferodo sticker all over their shop so I went in and ask them to let me have a look at the product. I just bought my ferodo zero without the center groove @ RM100, and the seller claim its original and will not give any problem. I cannot blame him also, because he trust his supplier as he said that his supplier is a big company. But that has nothing to do with me. I argued with him and he agreed to exchange for me a bendix metal king. I wanna know, if there is imitation bendix as well? I'm gonna inspect throughly before taking the stock from him.It's really hard to imagine a shop full with ferodo sticker still carry imitation stuff which without the center groove. Best price they gave @ Rm88 rather than hundred plus like you guys mentioned. Any idea where to get the IMP brake pad and does it need brake-in procedure ? Andy, you want to get the bendix with me? his shop is at jusco kepong there, i'm going there tomorrow. |

QUOTE(roxx @ Dec 15 2009, 01:15 AM) I trade stock rims for RM400 and pay RM 1,200 for rims and tyre. Front using Federal and rear Silverstone M5.. Thought to buy all 4 Federal tyres but during that day, budget not enough.. you trade in your rim only, or with tyre as well?  Nayte, when want to bulk K&N?? and about K&N, there's one dude selling 2nd hand for me, he has been using for 2 years already, but he's selling almost half the price, what you guys think? I'm checking out the stock next week, if okay then i'll buy, if not, i'll bulk with you guys. |

QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Dec 15 2009, 01:22 AM) Considering the rental price over Kepong there is much higher , it should be around that price. This is what he is selling, RM110 for front pad.Haven't heard of imitation Bendix though. How much is the Bendix Metal King ? Any idea Metal King or General CT ( both by bendix ) better ? I wish I could join you but I have went back to my hometown which in between your hometown and KL. Heaven for good food and chic. no idea which is better but i often see ppl talking about the metal king. Ipoh say Ipoh la, already so obvious! |

QUOTE(roxx @ Dec 15 2009, 02:36 AM) Yup.. Now most of the K&N price is around RM 250 only.. Danny, better think twice whether want to buy used K&N or new one.. But it's ur choice, bro.. haha, i know what's your intention, of course you guys want me to bulk with you all. I usually go for new stuffs la, but because k&n is reuseable, thats why i'm considering the 2nd hand unit, and the price is not bad, not to mention the person is from my hometown too. I'll be meeting up him this weekend probably, so i'll let you guys know then... haha |

QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Dec 15 2009, 03:41 AM) You doesn't know how he treat his filter before this. He might let those workshop dude use a blower and blow at the filter. well, i never ask him about how he maintain his filter yet, will ask, thanks for the additional info. I know we have to clean the filter once awhile with the oil, but why cannot blow it? mind explain a little bit specific?and without cleaning kit+oil available with him , I dont even think you need to think twice.

RM120 I can buy new washable drop in filter already. Come & look at the picture & can u differentiate it with K&N brand? Bulk again?  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « You always find hole for sure Anyway, for rim I stick back to 15". Reason : tire expensive, kena big hole with thin tire will dmg the rim, FC will be higher, tire noise louder (Waja already well known with very noisy tire sound in cabin worst than Wira) . Thinking of using Gen2 rim cos saw 1 Waja using it before. Quite stylish when is on Waja. Got 1 person selling at RM300 rim only.. still a doubt haha  LMAO... you are the second person cleaning the engine cover beside nayte...

QUOTE(swk_sam @ Dec 15 2009, 05:23 PM) Haha... Air filter from taiwan, all the quality not bad. Just stay away from China imitation with bad finishing product. bad news for you guys....Let cucuk Danny BP again QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Dec 15 2009, 05:39 PM) As far as I know , only stainless steel air filter suitable to use air blower to blow at it. If you do that to the K&N , most likely the gap will be much bigger thus allowing more dirts into your TB. yes, do not use those air-blower, the salesman told me before, use K&N product to wash it will do...You can save a few hundred for getting a used K&N but you'll pay few hundred more when problem arise later. It's your choice afterall. By the way, I went out to hunt for brake pad today again. Bought myself a Trestor Deluxe Organic at first and then follow by a Bendix Metal King Titanium. Trestor Deluxe Organic was an impulsive purchase which I though it's a performance brake pad afterall only notice it's general pads so I go out again to get the Metal King. Does Metal King Titanium comes with center groove ? Guess I was in bad luck today though , passenger side rear tyre suddenly got sort of explosive sound when I just wanted to go back. Not sure whether I hit something during cornering or it just expand like that(luckily it din't explode).  Sigh.Update : Not to mentioned that I went to workshop to get my Bendix Metal King installed and though of changing a new set of copper/platinium spark plug there but after the mechanic take out the Spark plug , the first one counting from left was with quite a lot of engine oil thus changing the Spark plug seal and a new set of gasket that sets me back for around hundred and fifty bucks include workmanship. btw, I exchange my ferodo to bendix today, it does not comes with center groove and i also bought something else...will reveal below... QUOTE(nayte @ Dec 15 2009, 06:23 PM) kentgoh can give rm 240 for k&n drop in with MOQ of 5 units. if more duno can go any lower anot. thats the lowest i've seen so far in LYN. i got better price from someone...answer will be reveal below...gen 2 cps rims looks nice la. simple yet noticible QUOTE(yngwie @ Dec 15 2009, 08:31 PM) front 195/55/r15 and rear 205/55/r15 gimme more confident during fast cornering... i've heard good reviews about the hankok v12 also...good yet not as exp as Micheline pp2 the rear is of course wider. the drawback is that i can't rotate my tires from front to rear due to the different size. i've to swap with friend instead... 55 series does offer slightly better handling compare to series 60 which is thicker. then again, tires type does play a big factor. a tire with a harder sidewall offer more resistance during cornering but some sacrifice in comfort. if you want to go for pure handling on waja, 16" wheels with profile 45 is fine or 17" on profile 40. 55 or 60 falls into comfort zone, depending on the tire type. i read a review about hankook v12. good one! so does pp2. am currently using yokohama but going to try a direzza for the rear. QUOTE(earl-ku @ Dec 15 2009, 10:32 PM) hey those that was on the bulk for the VS + Grounding Kit last week, the VS is is lighting already by now? mine is still not showing anything after startup ... mine does show, from day 1 till now, just check hours ago...been driving it since that day .... should have done enough charging rite ... mine goes like 9.7 > 13.3 > 9.7 > 13.3 and so on... for around 1 minute then stop d...maybe when you check it a minute later after you start your engine, the led number does not on for the whole time, it only on the second after you start your engine, and a minute after, it will disappear, save battery wor, according to sifu.
