i heard 6 speed automatic gearbox has overcome the problem of 4 speed... what really is tat problem, mazda ownself they know... i duno... haha

 

yup i agree that no imported 2nd hand cars is bad news. becos if sold here new, it would mean;

-paying very high price, even for a base model
-u get 100% stock i.e. no goodies in yr car

e.g. Mitsu evo 9, almost 300K yet no sunroof, and with stock rims vs 2nd hand import, almost new, but comes with goodies installed, and atleast 50K cheaper.

in other words;

GET THE HELL READY TO BE OPPRESSED! AGAIN.

 

the Evo9 spec we get here is better larr..... No sunroof, but get Aluminium roof (like MR version)! Sunroof version gets regular roof.

But 280k still expensive larrr

 

Guys i found this in the forum a member from Ohio, US. got engine replaced, quoted:

" all stock, no mods
changed oil every 5000 miles
most of the mileage is highway mileage
2 recalls performed: suspension arm and gas tank (heat shield)
check engine light service (they said it was a vacuum issue)
never have used any gas other than premium
never have used any oil other than 5w20
mileage averages between 15-20 mpg

there was no warning for this latest problem...one day it's running fine and then it started stalling. the last time it stalled, i barely got it started."

 

AP or No AP... just a way to manipulate the facts where and how they can squeeze out from buyers... somewhere, someone has to make the cut... it is a system.... anyway, let see what is coming out later...

 

Ready to light it up

 

Benny, how much did those coils cost u? Maybe i shub buy spares for my 8.....

 

1k. y u need keep spare. u got wangan. driving distance lol!

 

boy...did u redline your car everyday?

 

nope. i don't, its an auto.

 

Has all the other parts in and Ah Choy coming in? Hope all is in order now...

 

Boy... can you take photos of your renesis when it's opened.

VEry curious to see the cause

 

ya he told me he can only pick it up thursday. cause it just arrive the airport.

i will definitely take photo and show u.

 

So he will come over on Friday? Where will you be doing the openning and fixing?

 

Me too

 

i don't think he want to come on friday. most propably monday.

 

eventhou auto still need to redline often le...

 

auto not gonna redline, it will go to 7k rpm only on automode. semi auto will give u 1st gear redline, but i doubt its good.

 

each gear can go till u hear the beep sound..yours couldnt ah? good to remove the carbon deposits...favourably the 2nd gear...

i read here some of those blown auto engine seldom push their car to the beep sound (redline)...but a few do but also blown their engines

 

sounds funny man, the engine blows even when u dont stress it...

 

U can't find any ferrari parts at the price of a proton's.........

 

thats why in this forum mostly they recommend to redline the car often to clear carbon deposit to avoid engine prob

 

I had redline my 6MT 80% on the road as soon as got a chance, except 6th gear. But after blown and took the engine apart, the carbon still thick. So, what can I say?

 

This is like a myth!! redline often also blown, redline seldom also blown, don't redline also blown

 

..... because freight is expensive?
