Mass reply... Here goes..
RM 400+ for cross-drilled. RM 150+ or so for ceramic pads.
I'm just worried that powerzone's outlet after nenas might be bigger than hotbits. Furthermore, hotbits is plug & play, powerzone is welded if I'm not mistaken.
Hmm.. I actually kinda agree with u.. Mine also got some metal knocking noise, but very very rare la.. Once in a while.. Maybe because the rubber hardened up? Might check with SC on my next service.
Persona Evolution M WRX STI AMG
Tuah is definitely going to replace Persona. I'm speculating that it should be released around the same time as the Nissan Fuga-based Perdana replacement model.
Sell or trade in? If trade in, the highest price I achieved was RM 1.1-1.2K.
I'm not so sure... If my wallet allows, maybe I'll change to powerzone too? XD Just to see the difference... But no lah.. not now.. not in the next few months to come..
If rims get 2nd hand I dun mind.. I'd probably send it for painting & fixing scratches then it'll look nice n new again.. But better get new tyres lah.. Unless u know the owner himself, u wouldn't know how many times the owner E-braked or drifted with the tyres until the threads not nice d..
I told u that 17 inch rims are light.. U don't believe me

Hmm.. Soundproofing..

Thinking of double-padding my doors too.. but no money..
Ask those who attended TT whether my setup noisy or not.. For me it's fine, cos got 2 mufflers to reduce the noise.. Hotbits setup is 4-2-1, 2 mid muffler then tail pipe.. Mine is 4-2-1, swirl bullet, mid box, S-flow..
Performance mods:
Extractor (full set up to the tailpipe if budget/sanity allows), featherweight japanese sport rims with good tyres, preferably Potenza or T1R, Standalone ECU (HKS F-Con V Pro, RM6k), spark plugs (Volkers', Denso Iridium), air filter (Simota preferably, or K&N)..
Visual mods:
Bodykit (Airmaster, original PE M/H line bodykit, R3 Gen2 front bumper), tints, LED strobe lights, Projector lights with HID, TRD spoiler, Decals/vinyls.
ICE mods:
Double/single din HU (Kenwood/Pioneer/Alpine), 4-6 speakers setup (Any brands of ur preference), 2 amplifiers, 1 12" woofer.
yes, after newly changed the power steering assembly, feel syiok... no sound at all. after few months, it come back again. i noticed that the rubber piping seem start to melting and not strong at the new one. not sure whether its overheat or what.
