There are already 2 owners on this forum have the MS bodykit. 1 on this (Asia) forum and the other in Gallery forum. The rear kit comes in CF. I think the rest come fully painted. Price not sure, but they ain't cheap. When you order your 8 from the dealer, you can custom it with MS kit.

As for the button, treat it as an accessory. Just for fun. I always has a thing for the start button, a lot of guys on this forum thinks it's silly, but, like I've said, treat it like any accessories like the strakes or rotary crests.

 

I believe the dealer will fit the Mazdaspeed kit locally, after the car is cleared through customs. Otherwise the OMV will be affected.

 

Hmmm, insurance. When i started out also faced many problems.

Firtsly, NTUC rejected then INDIA quote too high then a few others all rejected.

However, finally i got 1 with NTUC thru LOBANG. No NCB about 2k+. Cant reveal anything more. So good luck!

 

MS kit- i think one of the forum guy fiited his MS kit from Garage-R

The BOSS told me all in about 8K+. However, he may increase the labour coz he said the damn side skirts already took 3 hours to install.....measurements already 50% of that time...

CHEERS

 

Oh sorri for the dis-jointed replies.

Last i talked to ST was they qouted 6800$ w/o labour yet. So go hunt around and do your own research :D

 

8K

ST as in STpowered??

 

Can anyone advise what would be a reasaonble for the whole setup? (Including the spray painting of the rear if it comes in CF)

Also, any good workshop to recommend? (good workmanship and honest price)

With every msg I post in here, I can feel I'm inching nearer and nearer to the car. It's pretty exciting

 

You might wanna leave the rear diffuser alone in CF, IMO it's quite nice.

 

Yea STpowered. If cant pay in full can use Diners Card 0% thingy.


CHEERS

 

Cheers Mate!

I don't think I need the bodykit that badly that I'll pay by installment (even if it's interest free), I think that's a little too extravagant.

 

Have had a great experience from EZ Import who sold me the kit at 50% discount, comes fully sprayed from japan. Skirts do have a problem keeping in contact with the car so had to rebond again at TCL. Saw the other bro's RX there with the full MS kit..tit grey with tan interior . nice!

 

Wah 50% discount. This type of LOBANG must share wif the forum BRUDDERS la....hehe

 

hi all..
does the fuel comsumpstion of the 8 very heavy ?

needa frequent the patrol station~?

wanna culcalate the expenses and stuff .


Thanks

 

Consumption is acceptable for a sports car. I'm averaging between 7 to 7.5 km per litre (mainly city driving). Just don't ever expect to see the fuel consumption of a normal 1.3 litre car. :D

 

Me 8 getting about 450 wif 1/5 or 1/6 left ( FUel light onz already). Me drive city n TPEs most of d time :D Hope dat helps.

This is talking about normal driving changing at about 3-3.5K RPM with occasional uncontrollable 6-7K RPM @ 2nd gear.....What can i say? =_=)b

U lucky!!! Me getting only about 300 plus a little more before light comes on.

New buyers beware! Auto doesn't drink petrol; it guzzles & downs EVERY DAY. But FUN!!!

Me use V Power...

 

BTW, does anyone have suggestion how to cut consumption/save fuel???

 

Someone at the US side did mention that by turning off the DSC did affect the fuel consumption.

 

Thanks M-ster. But is it safe???

Me had to jam brake on a rainy day on AYE; DSC lit up; me stopped in time - after RX slithered (like a snake). 2 cars in front & 3 cars behind didn't make it...

Was it the DSC that saved me from a spin?

 

I guess you've got to bear in mind that turning off of the DSC is purely for a fuel saving tip. So, make sure you drive with more carefully when you turn off. And if you decided to drive a little faster or during raining days, you might wanna leave it back on.

 

it juz another so called "safety tool" not full proof......still much depend on driver..........so still need to drive carefully.....

:P

 

Leave your DSC on for normal driving and definitely during wet days. I don't feel that it makes much difference in terms of fuel consumption.

Fuel saving tips...drive slower! Make sure you change up at abt 3000 rpm, don't do full throttle starts, maintain constant speed at 90kmh along expressways etc etc etc... in other words, don't have so much fun when driving the car! :D

 

Thanks all! I think... :P
