i cannot speak for all VTEC owner; but myself so far; other den wear n tear; i dont suffer from problematic issues;
my previous owner kept it really good.

if u gonna talk about normal maintenance; its fairly reasonable. lets take engine oil servicing; (5k - 10k mileage) depends on user.
per once visit;
engine oil = motul htech 5w30 fully syn (rm160)
oil filter = rm15
labour = rm10

total = so tats like rm185. ; sounds reasonable to me;

the previous rim i m using is type r rims oem by enkei; 7.8kg each. (15" 6jj;off50)

now i m using a 16" 6.5jj;off40 rim from nissan skyline r32 gts-t thumbup.gif weight around 8.9kg each sweat.gif

so far ok la; can live with it tongue.gif

normally; the lighter the rims; the better; for 15" the lightest is regamaster or spoon sw388. both of them weights 3.88kg only thumbup.gif
too exp; cannot afford sweat.gif

interior wise is almost the same;

y ppl wanna convert is that; the stock comes in 96-98 specs; 99-00 specs the bumper; fender,headlamp,hood,grill;rearlamp got abit of difference; slightly only.

i kept to 96-98specs cos its cheap. tongue.gif n it looks classic too.

the local type of bumper le; the front bumper n the rear bumper got 1 black rubber strip wan; very ugly sweat.gif

other den that; the only difference i found out in a local n jdm dashboard; u have a spare aircond vent at each side of the dashboard; where by the local is sealed; but tat can be replaced.
