After PM surprise announcement, everyone is lining up at petrol kiosk to fill up petrol to avoid paying RM2.70 tomorrow onwards (12am)

Will you guys still wanna mod your car kao kao ?

Have your poll and discussion here

Still mod la but not those extreme mods that suck petrol, mods that save petrol =p

pump few more time you will used to it already lar..

i feel like i want 2 sell my car edi... huhuhuh

u got positive attitude... i like it...

BUT i think this is becoz ur dad got several bunch of spare money for u just to pump petrol..

or u r simply a person who doesn't know how to calculate or count...


but anyway wait until august and see what will happen...

hope there is someone who could change the fact...

juz mod sumting tat doesn't effect da petrol thingy

2.7/L..hurmm..im still confuse to change sport rim or not..

need money . . . . need more money . . . . more money ...to pump minyak

That's it !!! MONEY IS EVERYTHING !!!

everyone go put piggyback ECU lar

u can change to lighter rim~~

I think the title of the thread should be changed to:

"Do you still have sufficient disposable income to mod your car after the price hike?"

i choose will mod ....why?

coz my petrol untill now still fully subsidize my company
muhahahah

hows going to survive ? RM2.70...my godness......august another RM1.70 increase again...so...one question...No Subsidize...thn where's the money goin to use from petronas earned ?

da money masuk poket govenrment kot~~

be more mature and welcome to real world
no need to insult if other people can accept the new price while u cant
be a man and juz accept something that u cannot change.. if he dont think positively, should he be crying now? LOL

haha we have to earn more and more money so we can mod our car edi..
well life still goes on...
maybe cut cost for few things lo...

Will still mod ler, after a while that is XD

Now prepare to absorb the 'damage' done first financially and etc

modding must still go on


after all my petrol allowance is covered by company

but i just biatch along cuz its the in-thing now ma

mod to save fuel~
hehe

mod the outlook dun mod inner part, best thing is can mod it save fuel

haiz, it doesn't method la.
sooner and later, ppl will still continue the lifestyle as usual.

coz last time cab fare increase (s'pore), i also told myself not to take cab.
then now also taking cab la.
haha..

that human being, unless u can't aford that other story la.
coz nowaday ppl get used with comfort.

Modify .. add carbon fiber parts ... use smaller rims ... reduce unnecessary weights.. save petrol

not bad, now hybrid car owners can oso join the tuner club

Will still mod something that will add more power but wont affect the FC much. N will concentrate more on ICE now instead of going for Turbocharge

ICE literally increase ur car FC due to added weight.. unless u only mod component and not adding amp or woofer

btw, i juz took a tour to shell and saw the meter write 2704 RM/L

Now will just concentrate on mod who increase efficiency of engine, instaed of all those fuel drinker turbo or supercharger...

Totally agree~ The price of fuel wont drop even if you cry or go suicide~Accept the fact is just the thing to do~Get on with life,work harder~

yes will mod to save more petrol.


later we can see honda civic 3.0 downgrade to 1.0 kelisa engine
who dare to do dat. slow like turtle

agree with this..
use smaller rims with semiracing tyres and more carbon fiber parts..
more faster and more lighter..hehehe...

btw..planning to upgrade suspension setup already..
no more engine upgrading..

and after this dont laugh at people who have complete bodykit eg: EVO3 or watever...but with standard engine 1.3 hehehehe...

Judging from the people who surf lowyat, majority people here are probably students or driving cars maintained by parents, hence they can vote still mod no problem because petrol paid by someone else. When they start paying themselves and suddenly every month 600-800 gone just for petrol on a 1.6 cc car, reality will hit really hard.

Sure they tell they can tahan after mod but quietly cursing everytime fill up the car, start to feel uncomfortable when people want to tumpang or ask for a ride to go somewhere.lol.

True, but there are people here that get travel allowance, hence fuel increase does not affect much on them

Well if they get a fixed allocation, and usually they don;t use it all they get some extra cash, now the extra goes to petrol too. If they get to claim and usually there is a limit to the claim,now it might exceed the limit and they have to bear the rest. And remember petrol for car is at the lowest bottom rung, food, electricity, essentials are all going to increase.

I'm thinking of modding my bicycle now..........

let start to lobby gov to give rebate for hybrid car...
then all ppl can save on fuel cost..

mod to save..save my car..mod it!

haha!! no need mod is the best...change bicycle...naik LRT

LRT also money

yeah... mod... throw away the ICE & aircond stuff... ur car's weight reduce... good for fuel saving... u don't need these to get the car rolling...

My 1JZ Hilux is 1.8ton i need to lose the 0.8ton to save fuel and have more performance.

So i wonder if proton is coming out with hybrid car.

ask for Proton Gen 2 EVE concept, the first Proton's hybrid.

possible to mod my current car to hybrid car?

Mod to NGV possible lar....

honda civic 3.0





anyway, modding spirit must go on....

if concern about FC, dun mod, buy viva

not savvy meh?

Added on June 5, 2008, 10:11 ami think its better u go straight to buy a ready for sale hybrid car instead of modding one...

Shit, my car running rich, i need to plonk in a piggyback as soon as possible sempena the fuel hike.

i dun need piggyback

i need loaded piggybank

bicycle need maintance also~~ $$$ also

i dont think malaysian can use bicycle as their daily transport... as we all know la..malaysia weather is hot..hot n hot...so its not suitable la...furthermore when u use bicycle,chances that u will be honk with car drivers is high...hehe

mod to save fuel~

mod as soon as possible b4 all accesories price raise!!!!

mod or no mod also depends on your right foot. IF foot heavy... a 660cc kancil already a burden

sorry noobs question..
wat is NGV??

so that u can continue using yamate punya Re010... er or RE001... hmm... can't remember correctly liao... whatever lah...

haha...i tink soon public trasnport fee oso naik la

hahaha~~biasala~~apa pun harga naik~~

natural gas vehicle

Guys,

Modifications doesn't have to mean just outright power.

Now is an ideal time to mod our cars to become leaner and meaner.

Throw the junk out, rear seats, cup holders, hangers, gf's dolls....throw that bullshit out.

Get yourself a nice set of adjustables, sticky rubbers and chassis bars.

We'll re-discover the joys of true driving rather than getting lost in the pursuit for needless 1000+ bhp tractors

yay 2.7/L i wan put turbocharger now =D

yes..mod will nto cost fuel ma...

but the end result might cost more fuel...

in another 2 years time it might be increasing again
so better think twice

hello? are u leaving coconut shell? government say increase to RM4 this August la wei.

who knows next 2 years they are increasing again

petrol per barrel is increasing u know

u meant 2 months?

actually 2 years from now, petrol price world wide will be increasing all together anyway...

mod to performance part better, at least can save fuel ...

so what modification you did on your vios that can even smoked a buggati veyron ?

Costing RM10/litre.

Full tank RM600..

die wohh...

if cosmetic modding is still ok, rite?planning to add spoiler to my saga

but wonder will the price going up after this..

I bought a gun and shot his tyres out.

cool mod huh?

bodykit just add weight...

Can't buy gun here. Slot in a steel pipe in the hole of the tyres & push it all the way blocking the brakes. Or fill the exhaust with water. Almost free of charge.

Maybe I should op for diesel car.

too late. already playing around with 4g93t.

Turbo car, fuel guzzler?

mod sure makan minyak wan, tell me what mod saves fuel?

decoration mod just wasting $$ IMO

so far I don't see any mod can jimat more minyak unless reduce the car weight kaw kaw

its bit 'pity' those ah beng who mod kaw kaw (eg: air plane rear spoiler, 18" rim tyres, 5 inch exhaust pipe )

argh...

really thinking bout changing my straight flow mufller to s-flow type for v-tec (i`m on MIVEC)

will this really effecy my fuel consumption?

out of idea!!!!!

No. Petrol already a burden, why wanna spend money on mod?

Im goina strickly just tint my car. thats all.


change oil every 4 months,

4 times a year rm 500-550 for oil change,
1 - 2 times for atf, 300-350


argh...now dono how much servicing cost coz confirm those oil also increase

AFAIK,DC5 FC is not bad with stock cam

You guys think the only thing went up is petrol meh? Wait until everything else increase and then see if you still have the cashflow as you had before to do whatever weight saving, cosmetic mod it seems.

Does government allow private car to fill with gas like taxi? I was wondering it could save our fuel.

According to the taxi driver, they fill in the gas in Petronas station cost only about RM8. Any idea to convert your car by using gas?

From now on, the most practical mod is to mod for better aerodynamics to cut FC, and also mod engine for higher efficiency.

I foresee City i-DSI's 2nd hand value will be strong.

Anyone itchy to convert to NGV, now that NGV price is maintained?

car modding is just like a terminal sickness.......... can only be cured when u're dead.........i know, becos i have been suffering from this illness for the last 25 years, and still no sign of getting well, even with the current fuel prices.

mod while u can~
mod b4 the price all boom up
mod for yr future~
hehe

still many smart guy said wanna change to bigger and bigger rim ...

planning to change to gsr engine end of this year...but i think better to cancel lor coz fuel price really damn expensive...now targeting small cc car like kancil or kelisa....sigh

planing to change a big bike which below 250c.c. any idea of them? fuel consumption?

oh really?

Kancil too

Kawa ninja??

for me,
before fuel increase=no mod
after fuel increase=no mod
future=no mod
stock is the best...

Dont Drive

IF ur car get stolen then design same like other ppl. Its gonna be hard to get it back.

With modding (inexpensive one also can)

The possibility of recovering it is 50% higher. LOL
