here and here are just a few tips.
the safest way it still by buying from someone we know. at least, if he sell the fake one, we can always whack him

a friend of mine is interested but he said subang too far.
possible to t_t somewhere in sri petaling @endah parade area?

if you want comfort and low noise on new tyre tread, get a 912.
if you are into spirited driving style, ps3 is the best choice! good grip in dry and wet. equally good for touge.


finally decided to get a m2?

you won't get both in a single package.
of all the tyre i've had used, so far, the best bang for bucks was the ps3. gy f1 asymetric is another option but it lose out to the ps3 in tread wear.
beside having a fine grip in dry and even better in wet, i found out the ps3 is more comfortable compare to gy f1 asymetric.
avoid directional tread pattern coz' they are noisy in nature.

is the shop located somewhere near the tyre shop in desa tasik? with a few rimus product....

btw, nice ride there, steven
speedworks quoted me around the same figure but i decided to change the whole engine instead. no replacement for displacement.
after a month of tuning, the dual fuel rail is feeding the mivec top nicely.
eh, do you happened to keep kingston's of sunway everco number? i lose it.
thanks.

thanks a lot, squareballs

guess i know which shop already. quite a few workshop around. further down was proton authorized service center with a nice porsche racing car on display.

then again, even though 4g18p is quite robust, being a sohc is a downside. good pick up but lack top end. that's why i decided to go for another engine.
lucky i've got a 65,xxxkm mileage taken from a neo joint project with friends.
btw, am not on td04. was using borg warner s256 instead for minimal turbo lag.

you will need an acrylic box for that one

segaria auto again. i used to send my car for servicing over there last time.
very experience and helpful. he even bring his ppl to show me the road once i lost my way somewhere in pasar borong selayang
oh, not sure if the offer is still on but he did a free diagnostic for me during my 1st visit.

most economical / effective upgrade for waja brake;
twinpot from evo 3(should be able to fit on waja 15" other than the jrd 7 spoke, original older 3vo rim was of 15" oz)
and dual layer brake servo!

will check with my friend if he wanted to swap his few months old apm peformax abs + stock waja spring. he is currently
looking for stiffer suspension.

monster waja

strange. before change engine, my waja does not have such problem. i could shift from n to d anytime even during cold start.
due to safety reason, foot off the brake pedal during cold start shifting might be the reason

i doubt you can get 'em below 500 bucks for full set. 4x apm peformax without the sports spring is already eating up 550 bucks.
so does the the sachs st.
btw, am a big fan of apm performax. they never let me down. although ride was slightly stiffer than sachs st.

10w-40 semi synth i guess?
60k mileage is still less. should be no problem using fully synthetic.

some ppl changed to fully synthetic after 100k mileage with no side effect at all.

sachs is softer. if you want to change to performax, make sure to change to same performax sports spring as well. cost should be under 850 bucks with labor.
if the budget permitted, you should chnage all in one go. but there is no such thing as free alignment (even if they advertise so).
even if you car's alignment is perfectly fine, they may tell you the alignment is gone. and try to sell you the 45 bucks bolt and nuts instead which cost less than 15 bucks in hardware shop. be careful.

not sure which manufacturer the r3 originally comes from.
i've try pairing the apm performax with other sports spring from gab and another brand. ride is fine but the performax abs gave way after 5 months.
turn out it only works with either the stock spring(slightly bumpy ride) or best with peformax sports spring itself which lower the car about 30mm.

if am not mistaken, fuel filter is located inside the fuel pump compartment itself. fuel filter is cheap but labor cost(opening the fuel pump) cost quite a lot. so, it's not practical to replace the fuel filter during service interval.
best thing to avoid the problem; do not practice filling only when the empty fuel warning light blinking.

you can stick with the oem absorber which is of apm(cheap and comfortable). else, sachs, pro-ride and gab is another option.
