looking at grb or gvb?

coming from a gdb owner, if daily a250, if weekend warrior then grb/gvb.

a250 are crazy quick with a tune. more than enough for red-light races.

maintenance question are moot. oil changes price wont differ by much. RANDOM stuff will break down RANDOMLY on both cars, there lies the gamble you take for buying recond/second hand. a250 might break its DCT or a crank sensor might die on your STI during your ownership. or the other way round.

am looking forward for gvb. usually minor & major service roughly how much? for recond yeah i know the consequences so i have some spare cash for minor broken thingys...how long u use ur gdb?nice r?

get the 2.0 manual. higher rev limit iirc for 2.0, and manual can tahan more torque if u decide to mod.

oil change + filter around 500.
rotors + pads around 6k.
front o2 sensor 1k.
225/17 ad08r around 2.5k for a set of 4.

these are from the top of my head.

have the gdb for around 3 years, awesome fun! best parts are like during road block after passing the police ask u tekan mau dengar bunyi lol touge sessions too !

Oil change + filter rm500, using Motul 300V or similar is it?
What rotors and pads are those costing 6k?

using Torco SR1.

Project MU B-spec pads and SCR rotors (cheapest jor, couldnt afford the 2-piece ones), Brembo quoted similar price too.

2 litre is anytime more drivable than 2.5...higher revs..stronger block ...and only Japan domestic model

Grb is the hatch...much faster n better response at corners than sedan gvb

Huh Project Mu stuff so expensive meh? I also use Project Mu's B Spec pads and slotted rotors, only rm525-550 for the pads and around rm1.1-1.3k for the rotors, so total still around 1.8k for the front. If top up for the rear brakes also maybe double to around 4k max but still nowhere near 6k. Or you use floating rotors?

2.5 ltr should have more torque in low-mid rpm but 2.0 may rev higher and yeah probably more well proven for high HP mods.

nah not the floating ones just normal slotted. iirc i paid 2k+- for each pair of rotors and 1k+ for the pads. where you get 1.3k? i'll get from your source next time.

Better go for 6 pot configuration

Wah you surely got taken to the cleaners leh. I bought mine at Kakimotor and N1 Sunway actually but most other places sell similar prices like I said too, at max just rm100-200 more expensive, not double like yours! I was shocked when I read your prices.

Your oil change price also very expensive leh.

Naah not really needed actually coz already Brembo 4 pot fr and 2 pot rear for the WRX STI. Just upgrade pads and brake hose should be enough.

Not enough for me

thanks man! just like what i hv in mind

If you go beyond 500HP then yeah but if not then not really necessary. The car is not that heavy anyway.

as promised, here you go.
