zeng ..as your quote mention : Lightened Crank Pulley - Works Engineering is the best balance between price and performance.. if i change this part then engine warranty will void ? another thing, as i ad change my extractor, should i change the middle part and rear for better performance ? use the same brand ? hotbits ?
Technically yes, u will void the warranty. Mythelogy RM550-600, Works RM360 only.. Difference is finishing and the dampener.. A 1.6L NA engine is not able to create so much torque to bend the crankshaft a lot.
It depends lah.. Better off to change the whole thing 1 shot.. Its going to cost a bit more extra only.. But u gain a bit more HP 1 shot lah.. Just changing extractor alone is not going to improve a lot cos the increase in airflow from the extractor will probably be negated by the backend.. 1 shot doing up the backend together will give it the best performance.

Nicee. Thanks. Will proceed with the Iridium then. My 80K service coming soon. Iridium/Edge Sport/Petronas XP3 ATF.
Do consider going for decarbonising ur engine at around 100k km also.. u can do it at 80k 1 shot if ur budget allows.

Oh ya.. Its still a proton.. Hmmm
P321A is probably the last proton i will consider.. Now Tengku Mahaleel is back up there..I dont have much confidence in his leadership expertise..

RM150 each, or for 4?
the FC safe is obvious? or just drop little FC? cause if RM150 for each, 4 means RM600, need how many years to cover back from FC that safed, also, how long need to change the spark plug, normal spark plug and denso irridium both need to be changed at same mileage?
aduh, ur car mod so much sure faster then stock forte la...
yalo, exora is big, got turbo, but maintainence of turbo is a pain... sumore inspira whole car same with evo leh, only badge not same?
HAHAHA!!!! RM600 to change spark plug.. LOL.. Really kenna conned.. Spark plugs comes in a set of 4.. Depending on how many cylinders ur engine have lah..
RM150 for a set of 4 plugs.. Nobody changes JUST 1 PLUG.. and nobody mixes the brands also..
Ok how to cover back, let me show u.. Normally u change plugs in SC.. the standard NGK can only last 20k km.. Cost RM32 for a set of 4. Denso Iridium last up to 100k km.. Normally u can change it earlier at 80k km also.. For the same mileage u would have changed 4 times standard plugs.. That would have cost u RM128.. U hvnt include the increase in spark plug price over everytime u change.. Mb u travel 30k km a year. by next year price increase a bit to RM36.
Then standard plugs degrade fast.. around 8-11k km mileage u can feel the power loss ady.. Iridium gives better FC from the start due to better combustion and very low rate of misfire.. U get better power and better FC.. Mb u dont change ur plugs now.. Monitor ur FC, then after 10k km u change ur plugs.. See whether ur FC reduce and engine becomes more powerful..

Evo is AWD... Lancer and Inspira 2WD only
Engine block also different.. standard 4B11 is open deck engine.. 4B11T is semi close deck.. That itself is super huge difference..

don't understand the concept behind the technical term.

Ok let me put it this way..
Torsion Beam = Turtle (Myvi), Dugong (Vios), Civic FD2, Corolla Altis, Ford Fiesta etc..
Multi-link Suspension = Honda Accord, Toyota Camry etc etc..
So u know y RM50k is SUPER cheap for a car with this kind of handling characteristics?
Guaranteed best performance in its class...
Persona is C-segment car to compete with Civic FD2 and Altis..

tires one month old used only.
How many KM have u travelled with ur tires?
1mth but travel 5k km and 1mth travel 1k km is a huge difference.. When trade in tires they normally see the amount of thread left.. Not how long u were keeping the tire..
Normally for below 2k mileage RM800 for the whole set of tires and rims..
