The deposit is varies from each auction house. But most of them required to place RM1K deposit and they will provide an auction card for you. If you fails or not getting any car at the end of auction, they will refund the $ to u. Car that u auctioned below RM50K, u only have to pay RM200 ~ RM300 as commission to auction house. While car that hit RM50K and above will be RM500 commission. Once you won the auction, they will deduct RM1K from your deposit for the total auction price.

It's not all car have to pay by cash, if those car can get loan they the procedure is same as buying 2nd hand car. Only things is they allow u to get loan within 10days, else the storeyard will charge u the daily storage free.

some storeyard provide PUSPAKOM service, therefore paying up front for the inspection will save u alot of hassle.

car viewing and inspection is a must. I think what they says is after view then bidding online.

if not allow to view then dun buy la. Auction from kastam are not recomended, get from the bank auction.

that's true.

nice black hood + roof. i bet the rear boot is also black.

it looks like silver and it also looks like grey, that's they called it grey silver....

remedy for good FC is dun always floor your pedal. lol.

I would say the branded extractor is design according to the exhaust pulse.

They use mandrel bend in order to get a nice and even bend at each conner so the exhaust pulse is flowing smoothly.

Other then that, each extractor output piping has it's own length. This is crucial as each pulse need to que up when reach 2-1 exist.

For example 1&4 is sharing the 4-2 joint, if 1 is shorter so it will reach the joint first then followed by 4 and so on with 2&3. This also applied to 2-1 joint where the 1&4 pair pulse will reach 2-1 joint first then follow with 2&3 pulse.

Let's imagine those cap ayam extractor did not calculate the exhaust pulse, it will eventually jammed up at the joint area.

get the R3 better.....If i'm not wrong the Hotbits is wrong setting, they use 1&3, 2&4.

go to soon yee, opposite paya terubong new bomba. Might be a little expensive but their service is very good.

can consider HKS drop in as well...it have 3 layers foam.

it will be easier to get it from exhaust shop or shops that selling performance part.

that evaluation is extracted from Revspeed Magazine in August 1999, technology changed since then.
Secondly, in the evaluation they did not mentioned whether the open pod used for the testing is a wet 2-layer filter or dry 3-layer filter. As mentioned in HKS website, wet 2-layer filter are not suitable for high dust area and i believe it's design for track use.

Furthermore any air filter that in metal mesh (like Blitz use in the testing) are not advisable to use on the road and it's more suitable to be use in track. That's why Blitz finish 2nd last.

that's possible for auto to hit below 11sec, but his just a complete exhaust system...i'm doubtful.

u need to have Lighten crank pulley, Adjustable Cam pulley+a good tuning, proper complete exhaust system, lighten 15" rims, Drop in air filter, Iridium spark plug, 8-10mm plug cable, with this probably you can hit around 10.5sec for 0-100kmh.

if u want to get lower then 10sec, then need to get ECU management system, 255lph fuel pump, port and polish, mild cam (262Deg ~ 268Deg), Adjustable Fuel regulator, lighten your ride or BOT and the most important is a good tuner.

do you like car?

transplant engine are not that simple as most of ppl thought. Getting the half cut itself already cost you RM6-7K, Labour cost for the transplant will around 1.5K to 2K, rebuilding the entire standard engine cost another 2-3K (timing belt kit, brake pad n fluid, transmission fluid, spark plug, engine, engine oil, coolant, power steering fluid, fuel pump, aircon valve and gas, alarm, HU), JPJ endorsement 300~500, exhaust system (2.1" piping, midbox, muffler) easily hit another 1K. With the above cost, it's excluded any modification on the performance and any replacement of worn parts.

that's very much depends on the individual financial availibility.
