Why not restore a classic muscle car like mustang, chevy etc
*
Classic cars cannot be a beater car. And spare parts are so rare, it will take few weeks to months once parts are broken.

If you need to change the absorber and all bushings and absorber links, more likely will reach 6k lol

Interesting, await your project to be up and running and then update us on daily FC.

Altezza doesn't need to be 2JZ, there is always japanese 3SGE... but ofcoz your SR20VE has better response.

Personally knew someone using Altezza on SR20DET
*
Ya will post time to time. Stay tune lol

Altezza chassis very heavy le. Later very high fc and average performance only.

want to ask you ah..

the Dyno + tuning - RM300, can do without ECU management device? cannot right? you must have one installed in the car like Greddy ECU manage?
*
Dyno tuning needs an ecu management in order to change the ecu parameters to optimized your car performance. I have the greddy emanage blue in my car.

However you can perform a dyno without any tuning for stock car. This is just to see your car performance but you wont be able to tune it. Rm80-120 depending on place.

What are the checklist to a nicely maintained car?
*
Easiest way is follow to the dot all the maintenance schedule from your car manual. If it says to tighten bushings in 1 year, do it. Most of us, if bushings still no sound, we would continue driving. This can be done for cost savings, provided you have the mechanical knowledge and know how it would affect other parts if bushings are worn out.

For example, air filter some of us only clean at 20k, while recommended is 5k. But we think, aiya never mind la, car still runs great, fuel consumption also ok, acceleration also ok, prolong it la. However for long term, it can cause your engine cylinder walls, rings to worn out faster which some people didnt realise. Then when suddenly engine needs overhaul at 100k km, we blame the maker say aiya why this engine so lousy one, 100k km need to overhaul already. Look at older cars, they can last till 200k no problem, why my one 100k already need overhaul? But they dont understand, newer cars have tighter tolerances and specifications, older cars are not as precise in the fabrication of the engine. Hence due to tighter spec, those small small dirt coming in from the air intake would cause your engine to die faster. But remember, newer cars run much more efficiently. Hence why they produce much more power and uses less petrol compared to older engines. All these due to one cheap air filter, the owner causes his engine to die faster.
