(if im not mistaken), but no worry, coz, the jap.. usually 'potong' their car below 100k..

I know turbocharged for long distance drive is very efficient, but city drive along with traffic jammed, not so much. But despite the not so much, if it is better than 1.5A, then it is better because I know 1.3 and 1.5 fc not so good. I'm using 1.5A myself, city drive able to push up to 350km, and that's very very ease on foot. I just let it accelerate, and when downhill, go on N and bersila

I don't know about alignment tappet cost, but mine need to rebuild engine. Last time zero knowledge, so just let it be. Otherwise, I definitely go for half cut, demmit

hmmm... through automotive garage, rebuild cost bout 5k... but half cut engine like 4g92 itself cost at least 5k... saw 1 around 6k... workmanship will cost like another 1k... but half cut definitely better in terms of improved performance... anywhere i can find good and cheap half cut?

QUOTE(Lineage @ Nov 12 2010, 07:10 AM) I think half cut is cheaper than rebuild Depends on what engine, 92 MIVEC and 93T now in the range of 9k to 10k for low mileage 1sAfter that need to spend on replacing wear and tear parts although the best recommendation is to overhaul it So yeah, depends on what engine first. The good thing about rebuild is you get back a brand new engine with a lot more power than the original (if your mech do PNP, balancing and etc etc) and yet you still have balance for other stuffs  |
