you can always buy the engine oil that you want and bring to workshop to change, unless they don't allow.
if you want, can even buy the oil filter together with engine oil

i always bring my own engine oil to the workshop
so they charge me labor + oil filter

My first impression of Ezy Garage wasn't really good cause of how it looked. It's quite small, not very noticeable cause the signboard is barely visible although it's just beside a badly maintained road and a car wash. The car working platform was made out of wood which wasn't really secured, and the expert looks like a foreigner with his fair skin, and the tiga suku pants. As it turns out, that guy is actually a Malay and he's from Penang, and he is very experienced with disc conversions because he wasn't struggling with anything at all. The only thing that caused the job to be over 4 hours long is because he wanted a better handbrake cable, and the spare parts shop had to hunt for it. The job would have otherwise taken just about 1 and a half hours or so.

A few photos from the brake job at Ezy Garage:

The caliper, which based on what the mechanic said, is for the CK, GSR, Mivec or something. I asked for the rear calipers to be painted black. The caliper also acts as the parking brake. It is reasonably strong, but it could be better. The handbrake was adjusted to max out at 5 clicks. It can be adjusted to be tighter but I want to make sure that the pads are not riding on the rotors when they're not engaged. Maybe the handbrake will become stronger once the brake pads get bedded in.

The drum brakes that were taken out. The reason why my rear right brake failed is because the brake lining came off. The paint of the drum was also heavily corroded since brake fluid was leaking, which is surprising cause the wheel cylinders got replaced just about a year ago. grumble.gif I'm happy to finally see the drum brakes disappear from my car.

fuhh so nice, done already,
so do you satisfied with changing form drum brake to disc brake for rear brake system?

any significant improvement of braking power ?

Went to nestum shop change my front tyres to C-Drive 2 yesterday.

Bought Brembo Disc Brake and also Brake Pad and bring along and ask them to help me change also.

End up when I see my existing disc, it was the old disc(stock that comes since I got my car first day, 3 years ago. (according to the condition la)

Attached Image
Left is new from Brembo, right is the old one.

Now this is proven that the shop I went in TTDI just cheated me over RM200 over a "New Disc Brake"

Tak tahu ooo I am driving an Auto. I accidentally went past 6.5K RPM a week ago cause I stuck the car in first gear for acceleration. I just remember that mine seem to have maxed out around 7K when I wasn't in gear and I pressed the pedal.

hmm.gif Did you look at the brakes when you changed it at the shop at TTDI? hmm.gif It's normal for the disc rotors to turn rusty especially if you always wash your wheels. My front rotors which have been used for less than 10,000KM looks the same.

*Less than 15k or 10k, forgot.

Well, blame me for too trusting peoples. I put my car and the shop and ask the mechanic to help me change it and I walk back to office, 3 mins walk.

My stock disc done skimming 1 and a half years ago due to screeching noise. That's after 2 years I got my car and it doesn't looks rusty like this at all.

Earlier this year, I felt my front wheel got problem again. Upon sending in to check, this mechanic reco for disc brake change. So I go ahead and do it. Since skimming will only last me for 6 months or less.

After changed, 3 months later, the same problem come again and that's where I started to think that he had me scammed Liao.

ADD : This is not the only thing he scammed me lol. My front radiator fan's case makes loud noise like the fan is hitting something. Sent to this same mechanic and he ask me change the motor. Few weeks later, the same noise come back and I decided to send it to different mechanic. Upon checking only know that there's no problem with the fan, but the its the case mount problem(I think the mechanic say something about clips). Slot some span into the affected area and problem solved. Some more FOC, LOL

No matter how, disc rotor will get rusty. Unless yours is carbon disc rotor or stainless steel =)
