Dear Ford kia, why you invade honda tered. Mau cari gado izit?

Jus jokin.

Anyways, you forgot about car owner putting 2meter thick security tint preventing fireman from breaking the window to save them.

Anyways, lazy people always find workaround. Hence obd ii speed and brake locks. Because we always think there is a danger that someone will open the door, pull us out and butt rape us.

I think we malaysians better drive APC next time la. More safe, preferably with anti artillery exterier in case the butt rapers get despo.

Jus as an example.

It is not minor things that you miss out. Those are stuff that will not be available aftermarket leh.

Even auto side mirror is like 600 and above per side la.

Jus make sure you dun regret ur decision. Save rm5k jus to buy rim is not a wise choice.

It does not which leads to my point.

But the same can't be said for HSA on the other hand. Not to mention things like VSA.

And, to look a bit long term. It might or might not be harder to sell it off years later compared to better equipped ones.

Haiyah. You decide what you want la. What is the point of bringing it up if you made up your mind.

We already told you what we think. The rest is up to you.

For once, i don't think we mentioned before push start and sport rim. Those are stuff that really does not make a diff whether you can get it with or without 5k.

Touch screen aircond is a waste of money.

HSA is something which is nice to have. VSA not something needed all the time, but it is something that you might think you should have if the worst happens.

That is what i meant la. From s to e is still pretty much functional stuff. Above e and it will be stuff that is to have for the sake of having it loh. Dun you think so?

E at the end of the day is still the middleground option for many people.

It is just like the 24k cheapest perodua axia. In theory, it looks like a steal. But in reality, you really lose so many amenities. But that has a difference calculatable to 5 digits. So, it is still not too bad.

Why dun u jus go and buy it.

Well, i presume you intend to swap it without any exchange of $$$

Well, there is no free lunch. Chrome might be more expensive as a part, but it is not a demanded item.

Can spend the money doing k20ar conversion le. Much faster

For GK? There is more than 1 in this. Infact, i think the first one was from Johor. Completed around mid of last year in Thailand.

It is not a case of watching too much BM. Instead of waiting and spending on an L15B, it just makes more sense to have a 2l unit instead with plenty more potential.

Reliability is still out in the open. It is still direct injection in the end, intake ports might still be a risk in the future.

Anyways, one has to think if it is worth the money to get something like this. It will still be a normal fit at the end of the day even with it's 6 speed manual.

It is not going to be off by far. I remember the owner also had an EK9 with a k swap. It was apparently light by a little bit compared to a b series. With the l series, it is arguable. But the gk did not start out with the perfect weight balance anyways.

2 ECU would be the way to go if you plan to retain most of the functions in the car but it is not a small amount of work to get the wiring running. That is why you dun really see a lot of properly swapped ones running in Malaysia. Most done in thailand as they have a lot of kswaps done there. Even on their brios apparently.

Yes, but it is not worth it if the grey market jacks the price up. If it just tips the 100k marker. I'd think it is still worth it as the ge based rs costs a shocking 15k to get a halfcut last i saw.

So, having to pay 100k for a stock untouched car and almost similar to SSS would be acceptable.

Yeah, with almost 50k in play. It is actually more than enough to do a k swap in a proper manner (buying dc5 halfcut, brembo calipers and stiff like that) last i asked.

But it depends on what you want.

It is just a grey market JDM la. You get the latest engine introduced in japan and you get the 6 speed manual that is never made an option for us lo.

Other than that, the level of accessories is more or less equivalent except ckd might have either axed off what they considered as unnecessary or the same accessary is made or source locally to lower production costs

You know the grey market jdm is most probably a 2nd hander right? And honda is in no direction of introducing cbu cars in local market due to cost issues. Remember the days when jazz can hit 110k with original modulo bodykits?

I trust the tranny has similar reliability as jdm units. Those are things they can't source locally. So, (i have yet to check) but suspect they are either from thai or worst case japan themselves. Some major ancillaries are still imported stuff. Only the small stuff like headunit, info display and etc might have been sourced locally.

I am in australia again.

I think you jus need to get used to the orientation of your phone before taking pics.

The coating is cool, especially when you DIY cos the price stinks.

You mean it is wiggling left and right? Get it back to service centre and check with them.

Nothin beats good ol' elbow grease
