guys, how often do you change your fuel filter?
A workshop recommended me to change it after seeing the dirt on my old spark plugs. He then say its better to change the fuel filter. I was quoted RM42 for it...is this price right?

RPM dropping, engine stalled and if unlucky enough, it died are the main reasons I'm too lazy to mod. Anyway, now when I'm driving above 120 kmph, it will give some sort of weird sounding. Not sure what is that, nor even know how to type on how the sound like laugh.gif

yo gsrians... today i find out something from my engine... it 'eat' engine oil ler.. but no leaking, no blue/white smoke... wonder where the heck did it went to... almost clock 3k km, but i already have to used up the remaining oil (saved up from the service) in the bottle to keep it above the middle mark... did you experience this in your gsr? if you do, what you did and the cost?

yoi,
turbine more or less will eat sum engine oil.... previously im using 20w-50..... it did eat up more than half of the oil in the oil pan.....
den found oil stain around cam cover there.... change the rubber gasket n change engine oil to 10w-60.....
after 5k km still got more than half in the oil pan......

Get a high flow air filter will increase your performance for sure
Others to consider, lighten crank pulley

The rest like camshafts, PNP, high comp pistons and engine balancing are all later stages already

lighten stuff can easily gain pick up..... but will lose some top speed due to momentum....

shinji : no overhaul la... already over budget (during that time).. cant do overhaul... just managed to 'plug and play' jek..

chaf : mine also got some oil around the cam cover.. thinking about changing that too... change to better oil and the oil consumption become less ah.. hmm.gif maybe better oil wont evaporate like those cheaper mineral oil kua.. anyway, i think, i will stick to my current oil. but change the cam cover gasket, exhaust extractor gasket.. and see what will happen next..

Yea, it only sounded at high speed. At 120-130kmph, I can still hear the sound. I think something like squeaky sound ? If 140-160kmph, cannot be heard as it covered by the sound of air filter and exhaust sweat.gif

Change new car ? If I have tons of money brows.gif Otherwise, using old ones save up a lot drool.gif

old car saves money, but can use for how long?

today renew my car insurance, there's added extra 15% charge for the premium amount coz my car is over 15 years sad.gif
and once the car reach 20 years, no insurance company will cover my car.
have to use Pos insurance, which heard the premium is very high..

Is it ? Over 15 years, added extra 15% charge to the insurance, and no insurance company to cover for over 20 years ? That is bad.

I'm planning to use as long as possible, as long it does not give so much of a headache, or planning to buy new one. Can't say much, later the car 'heard' what I'm saying, it started to give me headaches, knowing that I'm planning to replace it. doh.gif

Most insurance companies are unwilling to insure cars >11 years old. Most likely they'll add in excess or higher premiums or require you to purchase additional insurance like PA. No 3rd party, must be 1st party.

This is due to insurance company complaint that they are not making money from insuring old cars. doh.gif A lot of claims.
