yoko a.drive r1 is fine.  hankook v12 is another alternative tyre with good performance for it's price.
bear in mind, any directional tread tyre are noisy by nature. even more for performance tyre and as the tread wear out.
avoid my-01. lousy grip ( that's why i am using 'em to learn drift ).
falken 912 is fine for it's price but tread wear out faster.
i am currently into ps3 on my main ride which is of asymmetric tread. slightly softer sidewall but it was equally good in wet and dry!
not to mentioned being quieter.
pu steering bush cost 80 bucks with installation. z racing somewhere in the mines(balakong) near shell area. you can watch 'em complete the job.
steering feels tighter and more responsive after changed to pu. excessive vibration sometimes could be caused by uneven / excessive tyre's tread wear.

hmmm.. can directly make at JPJ.. u need 2 passport pictures and u have to atleast have 1 year of valid driving license.. if not have to renew..  then hav to pay 100++ i think can't remember.. then go to JPJ fill-up someform.. and they'll ask u'll be driving where.. and if its in the list then ok..

That is getting local IDL .... now i was refering to IDP. IDL require you to surrender old licence and your yearly renewal fee will be rm150.

Malaysia is rates E category which require IDP.

more info here
AA IDP requirements

Bro, I read your link..still it said IDP recommended, not compulsury. I remember there's a county list that Malaysia IDP is valid. Got some info at wikipedia.org that said Malaysia and Italy among party signing 1949 Convention on Road Traffic, which makes the IDP issued by them valid.

I believe you can still use JPJ's IDP in Italy.. Just the matter JPJ needs you to take a test using LHD car upon geting the permit.

can i get estimated price for PS3? 205/50/R16

Nope.... IDP does not need any test...
IDP is International Driving Permit Not IDL international Driving Licence which you can choose either go for the test or not. We cannot obtain Italia Permit here in Malaysia. We must apply there. I check and got my documents ready edi...

hmmm.. can't remember the one i apply was a Permit or Licence.. but no need to test drive.. just got the booklet like thingy then can drive edi.. drove a VW van there..

i can't remember very well but u need to remove the silver long thing at the badge 1st from inside part of the rear hood.. coz the badge is actually attached to it.. the screw is at the rear part of the silver thingy 2 screws i think..

Just wonder since waja cps's head lamps are comes with HID, if I fit it to my 4g18p, is it consider legal?

If yes, how the JPJ people differentiate between original HID and after market HID?

So got screw 1 ar? Hard to find it.. haiz~

Stock hid n aftermarket is very obvious...
If u've seen the qftermarket one before the setup is very messy wit the balast outside of the headlamp attached to the car body n wire jotting out from the headlamp without any cover...

Waja hid still hav balast but its nicely screw to the headlamp n no wire here n thr... Its all inside the headlamp itself...

Sorry.. no idea.. nvr look for cps headlamp or do the badge thing before...

Oh, thanks ya! by the way, do you have any idea how much is the cps headlamps? Do you know how to change the rear badge?

not so sure about 16". should be around 440 bucks each.
am on 15" and 17". 195/55/r15 cost around 240 bucks each while 225/45/r17 almost 600 bucks each.
