Next thing to do, spend another RM1500 to repaint and fully restore the shell wub.gif

New timing belt - Ori Renault one + the other 2 belt i got it fix @ RS Auto @ RM600 even outside it will cost you about RM500

I did my timing belt + accessories belt full set & engine mountings full set at Renautech geh. Gas absorber cap ayam for rear RM80/pair oni, depan tak rosak. Clutch ayam 250, windscreen ayam 220, the rest all almost no cost as I took out from my Iswara and replaced them only blink.gif Renautech price is actually quite resonable if according to your price listed above from RS.

Oh ya! Forgot to count my ruptured exhaust pipe. Another RM370 for middle box + rear muffler. The list now up to RM1800 icon_idea.gif

how much is the engine mounting and belting changed in Renautech??? Absorber cap ayam memang cheap but the workmanship??? Wow your clutch you use what brand one? and also windscreen? hahah you went everything on budget eh. tongue.gif

Mounting + belt semua ori Plotong + labor cas 910. Absorber labor sudah include RM80 sepasang. Windscreen beli luar sendiri bikin, no point beli mahal. Windscreen safety feature only applicable when its stock, changed means changed. Cut the crap short, if wanna know more about windscreen safety, next time BLM TT join me I tell u story. My clutch work also semi DIY at my friend's shop. The rest pretty much free from labor charge. Am saving money for the powah steering pump, sebab ada leaking. Once I replaced the new pump, then will refurbish the old 1 & keep as backup icon_idea.gif
*
uh oh. not bad. the mounting + belt labor charge only rm910. One thing for sure Mr.Hoe uses nearly all the item for Renault not Proton. from power steering switch to ignition coil and cables. Anyway nah, for windscreen i will always opt for double layer. I'm driving too much on highway single layer isn't really optimal for me. Adding on got windscreen insurance coverage for all my cars. Well that explains why you get everything so cheap. LOL.

Hopefully got new owner willing to angkut my savvy. haha. Now got ppl offer RM10k but still not willing to sell. tongue.gif

Stop @ traffic light, went & see the passenger side corner of the windshield, printed LAMINATED DOT 450.

I hope you get a buyer who willing to pay more. If u can wait, just continue post mudah. I guess 13k shoulnt be a problem selling it off.

Hehe thanks bro, i'll just put there and see when i can sell it. lol. No urgency in selling the car afterall. Quite sayang.. but it's really a waste if i don't drive it once i get my new car. tongue.gif

ARB is quite expensive leh!!  sad.gif  but seriously ARB works, as i've 3 UR bars installed in my BLM (front strut, front lower, and rear ARB) as recommended by Drex. with those 3 bars, BLM can only match Savvy's stock setup.

if Savvy add d above 3 bars i guess it can corner like go-kart liaw... LOL  thumbup.gif

maybe start with d cheapest 2 point front strut bar 1st, then slowly add... haha.. no $$ la!! (as mentioned by kidmad, 2 point is much better for servicing works)

Drex can nego abit one la... haha... so David, when free???  brows.gif

yeah the anti roll and strut is highly recommended nearly for a hatches. you will immediately feel the difference.

Oh y ah guys. 18/55/14 tyres is ok right for savvy?

if 175/65/14 kena fender most probably 185/60/14 will kena also cos diameter for both are quite similar. visually d size of 165/60/14 compare to 185/60/14 is quite alot of difference le as i park both my savvy n BLM side by side.

kidmad last time u install 2 point strut bar how much ah? i know UR bars price went up a few months ago..  sad.gif

Hehe from Howie EA autoworks also. RM125 for front bar.. oil catch 140.. and simota air filter rm160.. somthing like that la. lol that 20 bucks different.. sap sap water la.
