Most likely they will bring in Type R. But 200k for a type r NA car? Not worth it. I could get a stock 300hp car with that money.

i am sure there are some buyers also ..
it will compete with the VW golf GTI

NA car
has lower cost for maintenance
easier to take care
normal fuel consumption hmm.gif

Golf GTI? LoL, I thought its turbo? How to compete? But if you say value and appeal, I go for golf GTi anytime.

If you driving the new type R, I guarantee you, your maintenance cost wont be any cheaper than a turbo car.

Turbo car also easy to take care mah, only thing extra is the turbine and intercooler. smile.gif

Normal fuel consumption? hmm.gif If I don't rev my car above 3k, I bet I can compete with your car in fuel efficiency.

Can u stand not revving past 3k rpm?  tongue.gif the only time i managed to do that is every morning during engine temperature is still cold.

That's true also, but you also can't resist not revving your vtec at times. That happens to me many times. tongue.gif

Anyway, I find it irrelevant for a type R to cost more than 200k. Only dumb, passionate, rich or mere fanboys will get it.
My point is, for 200k+ there's alot of better choices. I seriously hope they don't sell it at that price though. It just not worth it.

its expensive because its brand new, those evos and sti are cheaper because most of then are recon cars. thanks to the government to impose such tax for new cars  whistling.gif

That's why, dumb taxes. Buying the car is not actually buying it, it's more like paying the government. With the tax included, I honestly rather get something else then. I rather get the recon Sti or evo. The rest of the money, I can do up the car, add more torque.

simon, ur vtec turbo is already fast enough. If u dump in another RM30k, those evos or sti no match for ur eg already & ur chasis is lighter, u can smoked them in 400m easily.

LoL, bro, I'm not the one driving vtec turbo, that is chris. But what you say is true. Anyway, I hope the type R is not too expensive. Otherwise, there's gonna be alot of fake type R on the road, cause not many people can afford it.

Hehe, Zealot u can also try find the Avantech guys also. Full address here http://www.avantech.com.my/catalog/
Anyway guys i think my gearbox is nearing the end of its useful life. After a session at Genting, gears 1 - 4 give out a very prominent whining sound, sort of like when u are in reverse. I also encounter a very noticeable loss in power whilst accelerating. Could this be my LSD failing? Or other gearbox components failing? Prior to this my gearbox has been leaking oil since it has a hairline crack, i did ask my mech to solder it, but it still leaked oil abit. I changed both engine/gearbox oil at my last 5000km interval, and still have about 1500km+- left to go.

All i know up to this point, is a gearbox housing and LSD change is imminent. I just hope the other components like my gears and final drive are not the culprit of that horrible whining sound.

Any help appreciated on what could be the cause.  smile.gif

jfd, My gearbox also got that whirling sound. Most obvious in 1st gear. I thought that is normal? Loss in power may also be because your clutch or flywheel slipping. Do a check on your clutch and also change the gearbox oil and see if there's any help. Maybe because of oil leaking there's not enough gearbox oil? Just my assumption though, there are many possibilities.
