Happy CNY to all! And drive safely where you go. Arrive in one piece.

Wanna ask all of you guys. I was quoted RM620 by a Proton SC for a timing belt change and drive belt. The SC mentioned that belt tension will be calibrated properly by a device. Another workshop quoted me around RM500 for the same thing, although I'm not sure that they use a calibration device for the belt tension. Are those the proper quotation? No overcharge?

Eh, really ah? Then I'll just go do it at the workshop then. The SC mentioned that the tension of the belt needs to be checked by computer to make sure that it's not too tight. My first timing belt change, so I swallowed everything he said.

Stupid foreman dented my exhaust pipe. Where on earth did he learn to jack up a car at that point? Haish. You really need to pay attention at how the buggers do their work.

Normal workshop. Usually I observe everything but today I was so tired so did not really pay attention at what they were doing. Sigh

Should not be much of a problem right? Just dented only..

Maybe this is the excuse I need to change to a Hotbits setup.

Hmm.. If I change only the extractor to 4-2-1 and maintain the stock piping/midbox/muffler, will I feel any change? And what about the sound? Coz I don't want a loud exhaust.

Oh, ok then. Should be ok coz city drive usually under 2.5K. What about pickup? Will I feel the difference with this setup? Im using auto btw.

Yeah. I thought so too. Was thinking of removing the cat only but alang alang lah. Might as well change the extractor terus..

No.. Not sure yet.. I know you can't go wrong with Hotbits or Powerzone but I need something cheaper...

Haha. What is ur setup bro? And how is the performance?

Guys, 4-2-1 ayam brand non stainless steel rm280 with installation. overprice or not? sarawak price btw. and also o2 sensor at 2nd pipe. will that make any difference?

yeah, i think so. didn't look at the brand name just now.

where is your o2 sensor located Zeng? now i wonder if the sensor is located underneath is better, since it can get a better reading from all outlets as opposed to only d second pipe

hmm.. so what do u think? shd i go for the ayam extractor? will it be ok with just a reading from ine chamber?

Go to ur bank. Ask for your full settlement value. Your insured value should be around that.

BTW, ayam brand extractor, done! Total damage RM230. Satisfaction after doing butt dyno, priceless! Hehehe. Engines feels much more responsive although still using stock mid box and muffler. Config is 1-4,2-3. Perfect for Persona's firing sequence, 1 3 4 2.

BTW, my engine oil cap is leaking oil already. Everywhere I look, they don't sell just the rubber seal. They sell it together with the cap itself, around RM45. Any other solutions to this?

Yup, precisely. Full settlement amount will minus the interest,each bank has their own mechanism to calculate how much rebate to give for full settlement. For basic calculation, you can use this calculator.
