Any comments???
A friend of mine has a friend in Petronas R&D department and this friend of his mentioned that in Klang Valley the cleanest (not sure what he meant by that) petrol are Petronas and Pro-Jet (I know, I'm quite surprise too).

I have been using Petronas for a while now and have not had any problems.

So, what I'm curious is why did C&C advice not to use Petronas? what exactly is the bad component they are ruling against?

My believe is all the petrol from these Big Petroleum companies are of good quality and up to spec at 97 ron. The problem lies with station owners and operators who might give lower grade stuff for better profit.

Yups...... The AUTO-BAHN STrasse kit (as shown in HYPER-REV)..... Looks real nice....

I more or less decided on getting the BURNOUT KD-IV Type II C/F or FRP (depending on price difference) Bodykit (Front Lip, Side Skirts, Rear Defractor) and Prolly a VOLTEX rear C/F GT-Wing

Hoping to get all this done early next year...... Haven't really decided on the rims yet..... Not sure whether to go for 18" or 19".....


Is the owner that AUTO-BAHN 8 part of this forum?

i think 18 is big enough on the car. and 19 will be not comfortable when on the ride u can say its pure bling.

Edit: u can say that 18 is already not comfortable, 19 is worse.

I am organising a private track day with some friends of mine, and each of us are bringing a couple of friends to come and join. So, for those who are interested, do PM or email or SMS or call me. I'm looking for 2 cars.

1. Will be on a weekday (cheaper and easier to get booking, most likely a Monday or Friday)
2. Tentative date is 29th Dec
3. Costs will be shared amongst participants, which will be confirmed later. It will NOT cost more than RM 400, for a 3 hour session.
4. Instructors will be available, if you need them.

This offer is extended only to you guys.
