After doing a lot of research n study, finally i put booking for the Pug 408T white to replace my satria neo cps...already pay the d/p and now waiting for a nice reg number rclxms.gif

This thread and the old thread really help me in making the decision to pick my new car..i would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all forumer that contribute in this two thread. I learn a lot from all your post, esp on the experience owning a pug notworthy.gif

I bought the car from the only distributor here in Kota Kinabalu (Angkatan Hebat) and manage to get the old version which is without the aero kit, i dun think i'll pay extra for that kind of bodykit. Hopefully the car is in a good shape and not much problem.

As for suggestion since this group is growing, i hope TS can put more info on the 1st page such as the common problem faced by owner and whether it can be solve or not, place to go to solve the problem, checklist on getting new car rolleyes.gif , tips/tricks for the car such as as resetting gearbox by turn off the car and step on pedal for 15s, wind up all window using remote etc. and other info that is helpful
take preve thread as examples --> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2671435.

By doing this hopefully it will attract more ppl and reduce ppl from asking the same questions and can be a guide to ppl before going for service etc..

Again, thanks to all of u and wish me luck for my new car smile.gif

Just change my front main & dipped lamp to Philips...below is the price, bought it from forumer mayalab. I just DIY it, not so difficult except the right lamp a bit difficult for my large hand to reach..

Philips X-treme Vision H7 - RM165/pair
Philips X-treme Vision H1 - RM130/pair

Dun hv time to take picture, maybe later...but can see the light beam longer than stock..or maybe becoz it is brighter than stock.

Went to 5 acc shop just now. None of them carry ONB, only Phyllip. Wonder why so difficult to find ONB. One of the shop mentioned need to order if want, the price will be close to Rm200.
Thinking to order online and DIY~~

Go for it, online cheaper and its quite easy to DIY..everything in the manual book biggrin.gif ..
Dipped lamp (H7) is our low beam while main lamp (H1) is for the high beam...just the name different smile.gif

i use similar one from philips on my previous satria neo, it is white and almost the same as 4300k HID but the performace really poor during raining or foggy condition..if u dun care about that then no problem, it really for cosmetic purpose only. smile.gif

to tell you the truth...i never really concern about FC, im more toward spirited driver, i will floor the pedal whenever i hv chance smile.gif
i choose turbo bcoz i wan to feel the turbo tongue.gif but stil not satisfied though, the throttle lag is kinda annoying even in the S mode..maybe they set it like that to extend the turbo engine life.

edit : does anyone hear wooo wooo sound from the dashboard esp if u slow down the car? is it from the gearbox?
