Hmm.. where to buy ah? If it helps the engine to breath easier, then I don't mind putting it back.. but then the thought of all the fine sand getting into the engine.. yucks..

Use the recharger kit to wash loh. I only clean once after 50k mileage.

 

Must use their cleaner and oil. Robo is expert in this.

 

im paranoid

$1400!?

 

 

the excel G cost me $400brand new! the apex cost me $80 8mths old resale. + labour $150 for 2 separate installations and $70 for 2 x alignment

 

Might as well go for coils. That amount is more expensive than my BC coils.

Tell you something. I used to have similar concerns as yours like sand, dirt going into engine. Went to BITOG forum and read horror stories. Then one day, I decided to give it a try. The thought of keep buying back stock and it is not cheap just discourages me and makes me to go with K&N. I drove and for 2 years I forgot about it.

 

One day while servicing, suddenly remembered to service my TB and check whether it was dirty. By that time, my car has clocked considerable mileage and TB should be very dirty and more so using K&N. The K&N was very dirty but not enough for me to clean. To my surprise, my mechanic open and remove the butterfly and say "no need to clean. TB very clean" and then he put back. I only managed to get my TB cleaned last servicing and it is 3 years after my last TB servicing.

if the ones are uncomfortable den change back lor... but take my word on the bucket... really uncomfortable..

 

 

[Yuan]

Then I better go to coils.. but not sure how good the Drift Racing brand is... otherwise it's gonna be Tein or KSport. I think Drift Racing is the cheapest liao.. $1400 I think..

 

Go for reputable ones like BC, Tein, Tanabe.

they have shocks?

 

Got meh? Who is the distributor?

[Yuan]

Won't advise D2. Very hard.
