2 months ago we have changed the Absorbers to normal APM absorbers, but we find that the installation is flaw, there is some oil leaked.

Anyone know a good SC in Penang where they have many choices and stock at reasonable price. Most important the installer are professional who know how to get the job done properly.

I'm looking at comfortable in term of control and acceleration.



I don't know if you can get this WELL absorber in Penang. For pure comfort. smile_thumbup.gif Absorb bump very well and less tyre noise transmitted into cabin.

Check your engine mounting as well. New/good mounting makes your ride firm, comfortable and quiter. Especially during idle, or during cruising. If during cruising, when the vehicle at sink possition and you heard the fast rattling, annoying humming, then most likely a new set of mounting will make a huge different in quietness of the cabin. smile_big.gif

If budget and time allow, go to any spray shop and respray the black oil anti-rust compound at undercarriage. Shouldn't cost more than RM100. smile_wink.gif A proper Autoform + Insulate will be best if got few K to spare.

A new sets of Bridgestone Turanza do help in quietness. Yokohama DB even better but expensive.


As for performance....where you want me to start with?

Drop in filter, de-cat, platinium/iridium sparkies, manifold to mid-box, muffler to tip, LCP, UniChip, AFR, BOT? smile_shock.gif smile_big.gif Also got ICE to upgrades...so many of them...

I followed some of ur advice and other sifus...For the 1st stage :

1) A good header and de-cat with mid-box (done by exhaust specialist recommended by bro Baldwin) - this alone gave the most improvement. I believe at least 4 - 6 bhp improved, provided done by the correct person.

2) 4 sets of NGK Platinum G.I. Joe Power to beef up the firing

3) Cleaning of throttle body plus a good tuning to match my driving

I am using the ciplak RM10 disposable filter.... smile_big.gif

2nd stage: Under consideration - LCP myethology, Street Racing Cam-Shaft, G-Reddy E Manage piggy back. If not changing car then will go for it smile_big.gif

Where i can find a good foreman in Penang? Normally i visited Proton SC most foreman are Malay and they are purely there to replace things and have minimal knowledge and experience in Waja modification and fine tuning, seldom know anyone beyond that boundaries.

I don't want to get milk by dishonest foreman.

Below to summarized things to improve

1) Spark Plug - Bosch Iridium
2) Exhaust System
3) Absorbers - Koni
4) Spring - Eibach
5) Tyres
6) ECU controller chip
7) Cables

What else i miss, please update. If possible with some cost guidelines.
