Why there's a group buy for K&N filter for RM380 where the cheapest I source is RM220 from garage sales? If you're saying that your supplier is from Malaysia not Singapore, the Malaysia supplier is selling for RM300 only for the filter. Group buy suppose to be more cheap, not expensive. RM80 for installation fee ar? Pfttt.....

There are a few sellers for K&N Filter for Elantra. Even the local Malaysia distributor selling like RM300 only IIRC

bro.. i jelly liao.. you didnt add me to the owner's list..

D.O.B = 08 July 2012
Model = 1.8 Premium
Color = Hyper Silver
D.O.Delivery = sometime in November/December

Please do enlighten me then.
You could have informed us straight up; it's possible that we did not manage to get the best price from the vendors we have approached.
You could have done everyone a service by letting us know that there is another seller giving an even better price for the filters, so we may approach him and obtain a better price for our members.


And despite all that you could have done, what did you do?
Run around claiming that the club is trying to scam its own members, making your own assumptions.
Bravo, brother. Bravo.

First of all, I'm not even a member of your so called 'private club'. So happened my colleague is a member and he ask me about the filter weather I'm interested or not, and I begin to read about it in his FB page. If the club is for sharing purposes, why make it private? Why go thru all the hassel of validating names, IC, car number etc? Just make it an open group, where everyone can join and discuss about the car. And with more members joining, isn't it higher chance to source for cheaper price? With it being private, I don't see the quality of post being better at all. Everyone just chit chatting and talking cork there. That is why I stick to this forum.

And if i am not mistaken there's a joining fee of RM80 per annum? What kind of service this 'club' provide? By charging RM80 per annum and doesn't even bother to do more research or source for a better price for K&N air filter? A simple 'search' at garage sales you will find that the price you offered is ridiculous. RM380 vs RM220? If your source is offering ridiculous inflated price for the accessories, perhaps its time to call it a day and stop offering stuff in bulk pls?

I rest my case. You can continue your rant at your club and I'm just here to share to the open forum that there are better deals out there.

Hi there.

Once again, your assumptions take over your better judgement, brother.
The purpose of the closed group is to clamp down on spam by vendors. If you've seen the previous open group, you'd see 90% posts by vendors pushing their products.
We do not want that, we want a place where actual OWNERS and interested people can get together and talk about the car, be it crap or not. (Try finding a single shred of information in the old group. Sifting through all the vendor posts is enough to drive someone crazy)

Regarding the joining fee, it is only for those who want to. We never implied that every SINGLE person who joins the group has to pay. We have members who commit even more to the club, and the RM 80 is for those who wish to share benefits and discounts offered by our partners. Get your facts right.

About the filter; yes the price offered by bro Claz is cheaper by a whole lot. But you have to understand, we are only able to approach vendors with actual stores, or a fully registered business venue. We have to take in consideration that, if the item fails, the owners would have to actually go to someone to exchange them. What happens if one day bro Claz decides to close down the online operation & stop selling the filters? Where would our members go then? Also, our partner has graciously offered to provide cleaning and maintenance works on the filters purchases F.O.C.
Being an avid researcher, I am sure you know the prices of the cleaning & maintenance liquids, no?

Case? You had none to begin with. You're as free to share your thoughts to the forum, as I am to expel all this slander with facts, not mere accusations.

An additional note; you claim we oversell the accessories in the Group Buys. We are currently having one for the front DRL with cover at rm 500+ with installation, when the closest competitor is offering it at RM 650 without installation. You're welcome to compare our prices for the UR Bar Group Buy as well; we have nothing to hide.

Good day to you.

p/s: Have you ever considered getting an Elantra? We would love to have a member like you actually; you'd be able to fight for the best prices for us from vendors.

Gonna try it later, see if it works

I'm sorry if I offended you with my posting earlier. Placed a booking but car haven't reach yet. I guess I'm just jealous that you guys get your car first that my anger overclouded my judgement sense. Good day to you too

Cheers guys, chill. And here's more poison:

It's ok; I've seen all the effort put into this club by the other members and couldn't just stand by while the club gets criticized for something we didn't do.
I'm actually very glad to hear that, cause that means you're also looking out for the well-being of the other members.
Looking forward to welcome you to the group (hope you're still interested in joining) and meeting you at TTs.

Hi Elantiong frens, seems like Civic launched at RM115k onwards wt 5 yrs warranty unlimited mileage...

For 115k, I'd get the 1.8 elantra for 112,
and for 137k(2.0 Navi), i'd top up 6k to get K5 or sonata..
That's my personal thoughts at least

6 speed (elantra) vs 5 speed (civic). Fabric seats somemore. No thanks

Good points guys!

5 gears??

Have to admit though.. even though the current civic also has only 5 gears, they're made extremely well

But FC not as good compared to 6 speed i guess. My colleague driving the 2.0 Civic. RM70 can drive around 350km only (city drive).

Added on July 12, 2012, 5:14 pmNo offence to future Civic owners, but this new design is awfully boxy! Did they appoint Volvo designer back in the 80s?

That's pretty close to what the 1.8 owners have been reporting.
But then again... most of them have been tekan-ing like mad ever since they've installed the ETC and UR bars..

I get around 450 from around RM 75-80 for my 1.6 though
Which one did you book?

1.6HS tomato red. How heavy are your foot to get 450?

HAHAHAHA!! Our cars can be twins already, bro.
I drive normally, and don't tekan as much as the rest of them
But bro stevenycs has managed to get 500km before refueling..
My personal best is only 470+ before I chickened out and pumped rm 79..

Hope you get your car soon! Need more reds on the road! I'm being spotted way too easily

others red also you will be spotted just as easy.. dont think there are many Sarawak plates in Klang Valley!!
