also need to wake up early; i usually prefer sleeping

eh ya ke i didn't know

soulless car, change already still soulless

not worth it.
up car jor, might as well forcibly enjoy the ride instead of jump car.

The knob certainly certainly looks damn nice!

But I already gotten Ikea bulb knob already

whoever that did that, hope he get karma la

sorry to hear about it bro.

no point also unless you can whack ignition timings (old distributor cars EZ ) or have stupid compression engines like 4B10 - weather hot knock, low rpm high load knock, mood no good knock

sometimes feel like driving old saga/iswara/wira taxis, everytime they pass by you almost 100% can hear their engine knocking. more obvious if they going up hill. (brickfields > plaza sentral there got one nice steep uphill to listen to knocking cars)

Hence regret on soulless car

As mentioned above. However nothing significant to require ron97.

do read up on ignition timing/octane rating bro

Rare case, or rather based on certain circumstances which I've outlined some of them earlier.

Must be la

happy birthday bro

imho aus actually have hotter weather (though not all year long like Malaysia), then they have winter rain as well to deal with (which can fall well below 10c in the midnight/dawn/early morning and too cold isn't good for rubber either)

i would say humidity would be a bigger problem, heat and water altogether can deteriorate rubber very quickly.
that, and our traffic jams - car not clocking mileage but the engine is still running.

ironically, our owner manual still have the standard intervals and IINM it did not include month/years for very long interval items like timing belt. (could be wrong on the month/years though)

fake.

german engineering is top notch and never fail.

dunno, nampak jetta on trailer.

either way both also german lol

OH! lol.

but but but, german wo.
Jetta also very fast with TSI, engine of the year.

Das Auto.

very sound advice

lol i'll prolly end up the same if i start business... might as well be small kuli la, no need worry.

noticed despite the majority of modern day engine design being intake headers being in the front, the intake routes are still as long, if not longer than before so good amount of air buffer can be made and hence the high torque engine applications of modern day.

compared to older engines especially the good old lift mechanism days, horse power hasn't grown much, if any. heck some even has horse power reduced (in comparison anyways).
what's improved a lot is the response and torque/torque curves
