Heartlander Turbocharged February 2, 2017 Share February 2, 2017 Mine was the 3.5ZG.. This is my 3rd car from them. Got it at a very special price.. Slightly more expensive.. But reputation is there I am looking at a 8-seater, think only got X variant. Good thing I really need 8 seats, if not really headache with so many variants to consider. Starting the quest, but still early days as got few hurdles to clear haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburger Hypersonic February 11, 2017 Share February 11, 2017 Stick to stock as they are calibrated in factory. Frankly i question the professionalism and credibility of the so called after market BBK. Surely an upgrade is just not as simple as putting bigger brake rotors and calipers. It's more than that.

Antzcadino Neutral Newbie April 25, 2017 Share April 25, 2017 Based on both your feedback about the not friendly used on alpine then I can stop think about alpine. Kenwood in fact is not so bad but need to get the high end model like kenwood 916ws my current 616wbt lacking of playable video format and not hd screen. Still not sure to upgrade to 916ws or OEM. Price wise almost the same. Kenwood only lacking is the screen size. Have you upgraded your head unit already? I'm having a OEM but find the sound quality not very good. If it is to upgrade for sound quality, what would be the recommended head units, considering the size of the existing head unit. Is alpine X009 the only one to fit the size? Appreciate comments from those who have upgraded, please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate comments from those who have upgraded, please. Yes, upgraded to x009 and the sound quality was top notch. Other than X009 have other Japan version which having bigger screen size ex11v or ex10 where 10&11 represent the screen size which only available in Japan but believe sure can import if you don't mind Japanese language and no local gps.

Using a head unit in Jap is out for me. Your sound improved much by just replacing the head unit and not replacing speakers or adding amp? I'm deliberating if I should add a processor and replace speakers without replacing the head unit or just replace the head unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just change my front to dixcel rotor and pad...plus HEL hose. Really can feel the diff. unfortunately they have nothing for the rear rotor and pad yet so i got to wait.
