the sz is a beauty i admit, but some of its parts are different from the
other romeos. like the windscreen, if broken, it might set your sz back
in the garage for ages, till merchandise comes all the way from milan.

v70r, i definitely take italians over germans adn swedes, anytime of the
day, haha. love the revving roaring engine of italian machines. tell me
it ain't true. haha. but seriously, i love some of the germans too, like
the vw golf mk4 gti, and also m3. by the way, ever heard of the vw golf
rs1 dahlback racing? if you have not heard of it, go look up in the web,
the rs1 carries 950hp, the most powerful golf mk1 ever. and it's super
sexy.

Subsonique,

MK1 Golf? You mean 1970s generation is it? One heck of a car it is because
I owned one before Tongue

ooops sorry firdaus, spelling error, the dahlback rs1 is mk4 golf, not
mk1 as i wrote earlier. sorry, but really i was interested in golf since
i was small. not interested in bugs though.

It’s a small thing really, the ignition timing of the engine is advanced,
by adjusting the distributor (or was it…) NVM anyway it can be done by
most mechanics with the proper tools, and it would probably cost you RM50-
80 depending on shops.

Adjusting this timing should ‘perk’ up you enj. Personally, I feel the car
got a bit lighter, smoother and accelerates quicker. But don’t expect
miracles, it help by just a bit.

It would be great if you could tune your air flow sensors when you do the
timing advancement, unfortunately for me, the 2001 model does not allow
that.

Do not even adjust the ignition timing if you are not good and understand
your engine. You may as well screw up your engine. Just my 0.02..

huh? price comaprison? hmmmm, fiat coupe you can get for like
rm140k, while evolution depends on which model, but you can get
evolution 3 for below rm100k. so, waht you are saying here? if you
wanna play in the same price range, do tell us which cars are in
there? eg9? well, different price range too. ek9? far to fast for you to
caompare your to. hmmm, fast and compareable.
