as mentioned by someone else.. forget the V6, its an engine thats rare..
which usually equals hard to find spareparts.. and its expensive as
well.. also not very service friendly.

as for cars.. i guess all types of cars have stereotypes.. like "volvo"
drivers.. or "kancil" drivers.. or "women" drivers..
Not everyone is the same.. and not everyone behaves badly..

to the guy who said 'modded' cars are 'dangerous old junks'.. thats
another stereotype my friend.

Hello,

Would like to offer my 2 cents.

Sometimes I think people kena tiong because they are hogging the fast
lane. A lot of times, I see cars on the right lane travelling at the same
speed (give and take 5-10kmph) as the ones on the left. And there are no
cars in front of them. They won't move to the left even though there are
a few cars trailing at their back.

I don't know what their rationale is. If they think they are in the right
just because they're within the speed limit, then thats really flawed.

They forget that the law says that they're supposed to keep to the left
unless they're overtaking! There is NO excuse for keeping to the right.

Just another brownie point for selfish drivers who think they're always
right, huh?

Just to share, here are some links from people who have more or less the
same thing to say, with better points.

hmm in a way ur telling me that i kena tiong cause i hog the roads ?. i
hardly use the right lane , im always on the left or the middle lane . so
how can i hog the roads ?. i have to agree that some drivers do hog the
roads , yes they are selfish but not to mention this people speeding on the
highway , i rate them as selfish too , just because they are in a hurry so
they speed .

StormX, I'm not saying that you hog the road-lah. Don't even know you,
much less how you drive. ;P Its not a personal criticism at anyone. I'm
just sharing a general observation of what I see on the road, since we're
on the topic. Thats all.

I also did not say that speed demons are not selfish. But to me, at least
they don't cause massive jams (unless they get into accidents - which
would be another topic altogether because of drivers of questionable
judgement who are allowed on the roads). They move out of an area too
fast to actually cause a problem.

I'm of the opinion that (because its most often what I see) most of the
times, if you track a traffic jam right to the front, you'll most
probably find a few slow/hesitant drivers interspersed in the queue who
are holding up most of the traffic. Its even worse if its a traffic light.

For 30 secs that every car doesn't clear the lights before its red, an
average of 5 cars joins the queue at the tail end. Each light at a major
intersection takes what, 2-3 minutes to change? I'm sure you can do the
math.

cheers.

wondering the V6 6A10 really so lousy?
with around RM2k to do the fully conversion included workmanship, a good deal?

if u don't mind the troublesome when changing the spare parts then its a
good deal .. but the parts are kind of limited too , means not all potong
kereta shop will have the parts . v6 there is 2 timing belts right ? then
it has extra 8 valves & extra 2 cylinders , so when doing a top overhaul or
major overhaul it will cost more then the normal 16v or the 12v cars &
consume more time . so if u really don't mind going tru all this then its
really worth it . i mean 2k for a full conversion really good deal .
