Hi guys, when will I need to replace my battery? Am going for 24k km service soon. Had car for 2years dee...

Better buy a DIN55R battery and keep it in the boot along with a right sized wrench to remove the battery head screws just in case. You don't want to be caught with your pants down.

Thanks for the tip. Any particular brand to recommend? I'm really a car noob actually. So does my battery need replacing with a new one? I asked some of my frens and relatives, they said these maintenance-free batteries need more frequent replacing than the ones that need to be 'refilled'.

I only know Bosch, Century and Yokohama branded batteries . No recommendations in particular cause I never bought more than one before. I'm currently using the Bosch S3 DIN55R battery. Costed me RM210.

I using Panasonic DIN55R at RM 230/=

Hi Personarians, I actually uploaded a screenshot to Campro Turbo club. Might as well also post here to get quicker/more explanation.

i see. I prefer to use back factory brand.
something awesome is different in everyone aspect XD

if you don't frequently check your car then better not buying the wet type battery.
I am using yokohama battery. RM230/=

he try daiki, u try rock oil...

wow...their estimation quite geng also...
i will really doubt the workmanship if car can be collected on 4th day

Edited.

bro...i think from the (not accurate) coolant temp analog meter...i can estimate that d min&max temp is somewhere same as urs...
around 82C n sometimes will drop to around 78C (agak agak result from analog meter)

improvement...i will say cant feel any improvement (not a performance mod also) but it is good that it is proven that the custom thermostat opens at lower temp (as experimented during TT) after taking out the stock thermostat,i go back n put in a just-boiled-hot water...left it in like for 10mins+ pun tak open...normal ka? during TT i knw d water we use to experiment is like not even 90C and the custom thermostat opens within 5 mins...

by comparing both thermostat with this experiment, theoretically, coolant will flow more fequently keeping the temp lower than wad the stock thermostat can do...

Still got stock ah? I want one but probably next month or something when I finally get some other things I wanted for quite awhile .

Thanks for the review. I believe the thermostat gives a long mile for performance mod in the future. It will keep the engine head cooler.

The stock thermostat is damn hard to open and can fail to open quite often. Some taxi drivers already burnt their engine by using stock thermostat with long exposure to NGV.

Back to back order. Let me know when you want then I will prepare for you.

What is it? Turbocharge?

Not in my sights yet since I don't have the know-how to maintain a Turbocharger, neither do I have the money to maintain a Turbocharged car. I'm seeking to get the voltage stabiliser first, then Ceratec or the thermostat.

I already Ceratec early early. Haha

160 for the damn bottle. And I treated my engine when it's brand new, I cannot feel any difference, even now. Says can last 50K but when I peek into the rocker cover, no sign of the orange brown ceramic.

lol~~still thinking lah.
unless I passing by KL lah. haha~~rock oil for Rm218...hmm...
all kind of poison also.

speaking of VS, what VS do you plan to get?

erictioh's. I already got his grounding set about a month or two ago.

Don't know. Didn't drive the car long enough to know how it's like before I added the GC.

i see. your car vibrating strongly? did you check any problem with the engine?
or had your car met any accident before?
