Just came back. Had TT with kenji, hamsaplou, guguman and zukjka, nice to meet you all including Mieza who had to leave early to live in the wild for a couple of days and lhwj who claim he has to go home early to study for exams but logged on this tread anyway laugh.gif

Havent really put the FSB thru its paces, first impression is that the front end feels more together and solid, steering is more precise. Unfortunately, the stiffer front end means that the bouncy and loose rear end becomes more pronounced. Looks like a RSB will be coming sooner than late hmm.gif...

On tablet now, will post pics tonite!

400'C in the combustian chamber... blink.gif I just can't brain how 25W65 engine oil can stand those heat biggrin.gif regardless, I'm still changing oil every 5k laugh.gif my Ipoh mech uses Duckhams SAE40 changing it every 3k, and surprisingly his changed engine oil still transparent shocking.gif What's wrong with heavy oil in Malaysia? RM25/gallon, 2 months 3 bottle only RM75 bucks. Engine is clean and safe laugh.gif

By the way, any of those FSB TT attendee driving their GT500 GaGa to warmup their tyres? flex.gif again I'd like to mention, no effect on normal driving until your car going to lose control whilst cornering!

Lucky you, the LDP was moving quite slow so I didn't have the chance to test. Can't tell any difference in steering feel, but I can feel that the ride is smoother now, over bumps or is it a placebo effect tongue.gif

hmm.gif comes to think of it, your SA also quite a xin ga lan wor, such a weird theory. However I think I'm another bigger XGL. Plain XGL, never have a 1st hand petrol leaking experience before, so if you choose to look see what I have in mind, read on.

If you know how is the high quality NGV being produced? Everyday millions of gallons of crude oil being transfer via pipeline from Alaska oil foundation back to the States. In between the transfer, evaporation occurred, part of the precious oil has become GAS. Oil company will suck out those gas halfway at the pipeline and further refine them for road vehicle use. So, our car also produce NGV everyday when the petrol in our tank evaporize, that is the air pressure being release "psssttt" everytime you open the fuel cap to fuel up.

Now, if you leave more space for the petrol to evaporize, do you think the air pressure will be less than if you pump full tank? yawn.gif on the otherhand, the fastener has a locking mechanism ON the fuel hose. Besides, the hose end joint also has a knot that will jam the hose from ejecting. If it leak, it leak; if it doesn't, it doesn't. Meaning that if it doesn't leak, it will last for a very long time until the hose start to hardened and crack. So far all my cars only my 1973 MAZDA RX-2 leak petrol before. Lately I just rechecked my fuel line of my Iswaga(1996) and those hose are still in working condition. No sign of hardened yet smile.gif

So, choose what you want to believe lar. My dad bought his Wiga, immediately full tank. My bro bought his BiBa, immediately full tank. My aunt bought her Elite, I also full tank it when we go take car together. What about other GaGa owner?

2nd review of the FSB. I will start by disagreeing with David that you will only feel the difference when hard cornering tongue.gif

Well he is partially right, you won't feel much when going 50-60km/h on a relatively straight road, but going 60-70km/h on a moderately twisty road, I felt that the front end is more obedient, it is easier to stay in the lane without much steering adjustments.

What delighted me more is when I made a 60km/h corner, not very fast, but everytime I attack that corner at 60km/h I will cringe a little. But not today, I took it at 60km/h, I feel more confident that I can go even faster!

Maybe the bodyroll is reduced, maybe the steering has become vastly more responsive and precise. I don't care if I can't find words to justify that feeling, but like +newbie+ said, I'm in love with my Saga again wub.gif

Anyway, just for discussion's sake: since FLX springs are stiffer, would it result in the chassis actually flexing more than the BLM/FL? that's why a FSB/RSB reinforcement will be more noticable in an FLX than a BLM/FL? hmm.gif

Pictures to come soon thumbup.gif

Any idea/info where dealers/stockists located up North? Eg A/Star or Pg?
Googled but no such results...not even main supplier! rclxub.gif

Plenty re UR! Juz the opposite...

ps. Contemplating install RSB as rear "protection" for rear passengers...? Of course besides the main ori function. Bro david's suggestion a good valid one!
UR one is too intrusive in2 boot area/spc.
