After listening to all those  problem faced by FLX owners, I kind of glad I bought FL in June last years instead for waiting for FLX.
Atleast feel no so butt hurt.
So far I nvr have any problem with my FL 1.3 Exec AT

Yup, me, too! In April 2011. tongue.gif
Thought getting a Saga finally with 2 airbags was great that time! rclxms.gif
Then few mths later, kinda felt played out doh.gif when FLX came out with ABS & EBD... sad.gif

Yup, touch wood lo... So far so good...thumbup.gif

Added on May 24, 2012, 9:51 pmps. Me had very good 20+years with ole Saga 1.5I Auto. Getting the new gen Saga felt like most logical thing 2do...esp with more up2date specs!
Hv not looked back since... smile.gif

Added on May 24, 2012, 9:57 pmpps. Almost wanted 2upgrade 2Saga 1.3FLX SE but the thought of hving 2top up RM14k+ sumore was a strong enuf deterrent!! wink.gif

Added on May 24, 2012, 10:03 pmHopefully (+ wishful thinking) my 1.3FL AT Exec wld give me another 20+ yrs of enjoyable worry-free driving... icon_rolleyes.gif

sign0006.gif thing again, but its kinda related if you plan to cut your spring or heat it up. Really not worth the juice as after market performance springs only costs few hundred bucks. See what happen to those who heated/chopped their spring to lowered their ride.

For BLM/FL...
Still feel best (& safest bet) to replace with springs & shocks meant for FLXs.
And if affordable, mayb even the front ARB. tongue.gif

Why?
Simply cos BLM/FL = FLX (+/-)
True?

ps. My reply not OT, rite?

I wished I could upgrade my SE to FLX spec. Getrag manual tranny, stiffer suspensions, front passenger airbag, IAFM+, ABS and EBD. I wonder how much would all that cost hmm.gif

Suspension definitely can. Airbag, ABS and EBD, theoretically can but won't be easy, need to upgrade ECU. IAFM+ component, still no answer on that.

The Getrag tranny, I dunno if it is tuned to the IAFM+ engine as it has slightly different performance figures than the IAFM engine. If it is, best to do an engine transplant as well.

In the end, get a new car better tongue.gif

Upgrade FL SE to FLX SE?
Not worth it...unless like Bro dares said (in quote below) ie change to brand NEW FLX SE!! tongue.gif
At least then new car (with all that yu want) is covered by official warranty!! Not @ own risk if like juz follow yr idea... thumbup.gif

Their merchandise are mostly inside the giant warehouse behind the shop. You have to ask at the counter and they will retrieve for you, if you have the part number, that also works.

There are other items on display such as fluids, brake discs, R3 parts, rims etc, dint take picture though. The shop it self is small, like a 7-11 store.
