Combo8 - Sorry to hear about your bumper. I know where to get Stock rears. About 3 pcs too. Give me a call at 012-3851274.

BTW - Could I pay you a small fee for your broken rear bumper?

BTW, ur RE-Amemiya exhaust is the Dolphin Tailpipe version arr??? got pics of it?

I think it is Dolphin but not too sure. Need to ask Mr. Lee. Pics later la cuz currently I'm not in Malaysia. My bro ask me for not changing it. But need ear plugs during driving at the highway.

1 more thing, Wangan's recommendation of radiator fluids really good la. Both water and engine oil temp never breach the 50% mark after changed. No need to change the after market aluminum radiator. Now eying on the Autoexe clutch set. But need to find the final drive 1st.

Hi CSL,

The Billion coolant (premixed) is good. However, it does not mean that you do not need to upgrade to an aftermarket aluminium radiator.

Your experience is only under normal street driving or highway application. If you use the current setup for winding road challenge, circuit driving or any form of hard driving, the OEM radiator will not disperse heat as quick as the aftermarket ones. Besides, an OEM radiator has a common problem of damaging the top housing (plastic) due to high water pressure after some time (wear and tear).

In conclusion, a good coolant with a good aftermarket aluminium will be perfect.

You are right. I rarely have chance to continuously ram the car. Scare people mark me and scratch my car

Do you have Water temp meter??? becos I don't see it on my cluster......

People change radiator is becos when you driving hard, the radiator can contain more heat...... For street, good coolant will be good enuff, change radiator if you wanna push harder....
