shows is the original absorber no?
1.5k all in? including mounting etc?
that's not too bad actually.

actually vmag also go recommend kyb punya. if you on budget.
last time when i chat with him, he also got mentioned.

else you can still source it yourself and bring to him.
he actually told me kyb can be bought online lol

do update when you did it.
actually it might be time for me to replace mine these couple of years.

FYI. i was once quoted above 2k elsewhere, and that was a couple of years ago.

haha...same same, bro.
i think its a couple of hundreds more than 2k.

its a good deal if you want to change to ori absorber.
i know bro Thrust feedback on kyb.
but I'm never on kyb before, and I'm quite happy with my current shokz by APM, a bit stiff, but i can clear bump better.
i forgot the good old days of original absorber, but all i remember is I cant clear my condo bump if its loaded with 4 persons and I cant clear my then gf now wife condo without scrapping even for 1 person. i have to drive really slow and sideway. with shokz, i could. that's all i remember.

also. i can't clear the bump in my neighborhood Aeon.

hence, I'm still undecided with kyb and original

sorry to hear that and thanks for the effort to share it.
let us know the update.

did the engine overheat ie: engine light come on?

on a side note, I'm just back from a road trip, and had the chance to sit on my SIL's 2005ish corolla. even though its a much older car, and the usual rattling here and there at times for an old car, it's a very comfortable car to sit in when driving in those kampung highway and over bumps, as compared to my TMO.

looks like its a good choice that its one of my options to replace TMO (whenever it happens in the future).

Hi guys,

so i've been away for the whole week on a road trip earlier this month. needless to say, i have parked the car outside most of the time with no shades, and driven far (and perhaps trailing lorries, trucks, what not).

I only notice today the headlights are peeling quite serious, previously i just see a spot or so. the symptom itself as you can see from the pic. good thing is, i just use my one finger to swipe and it all peel off easily, with no further area damages, just the part where it stuck out.

for those that remember, I'm not too sentimental about cars, but the current plan is to have the option to keep this car for another 4-5 years, which makes it around 15 years old by then. its still a good car, but i could upgrade anytime before 4-5 years but would like to keep the option open.

so, I've always like to keep my car in good condition. i waxed my car not for vanity but to protect the paint. though i want it to look good. my stance is I'm driving an old car, but i don't want an image where I'm driving and old, beat up car. at this stage, what should i do?

1. leave it as it is? I'm not sure how it will look 5 years down the road.
2. i know from online and TMO FB group, so offer headlight restoration services, looks good, but with 5 years timeline, not sure if restore better or keep it this way better in the long run.
3. at this stage, i don't feel like buying a new headlight cover, i dunno the price but i presume definitely more than restoration and i don't need it to be that perfect. going aftermarket worries me as well coz I've seen very very bad headlight/cover on the road. i hate it.

before swiping it off

after

you did it outside? where?
i know can DIY, but i don't trust my skill + the hassle lol. rather get some freelance expert or what not.
i believe your restoration includes, sanding and re-coating?

how long the process?
I'll reach out to you when I've decided, for his contact.

RM330 is after market right?
still clear, my only dilemma now is, if i leave it now, will it last 5 years. coz i don't want later 2 years later, i reach a point of no return and need to replace it.
i prefer restore than replace in this scenario.

thanks for your suggestion!
but mine is not cracked yet and touch wood light still good.
reluctant to change light without reasons coz on the road I've seen many lights burned the cover.
I'm okay with the original lights.

not that there is no good aftermarket light, just that...i don't need to take the risk and trouble

cheaper than what i would expect.
how much would the labour be?

yeap.....
but...get ready to be asked, ada appointment tak? weekends normal services saje. banyak orang, bang, tinggal kereta 2-3 hari la boss

Can. Make sure you make appointment. But SC nowadays is more on scheduled maintenance, not troubleshooting and fixing cars.

haha..
i was thinking about that too.
its good to know a honda specialist @ outside workshop.


btw, today suddenly i hear weird noise for a few seconds.
like there is friction in rotating gear. was coming from driving side. but really unsure if its my audio suddenly bad, or outside motor/car/environment or from engine bay. so ngam got petrol station, stopover, open bonet, nothing. no off engine. drive back, nothing.

hopefully its outside noise. will continue monitor.

hahaha..i did that earlier this year
completely satisfied.

oh..but bro. remember to ask if they topup. i didn't ask and assume they didn't mention and oil level is enough.
i didn't check coz 2 months later i memang mau change oil

when i change, the foreman said macam not enough oil.

btw, anyone know where to source good same/better than ori engine oil filter? used to just buy online that cost about rm15, but since now switched to once a year oil change due to lesser driving, wanted to make sure filter is good quality one.

i can go genuine honda stockist, but a bit malas to go just for an oil filter or two. if anyone of you know where to get from reputable online, do let me know.
