hello, hi...newbie here
well, i'm just an another, ordinary perdanaV6 owner. have just convert my machine with the manual gearbox after 3 autos! mine is 2001 version...first broken in 2007 and 2009 twice. the last ones only survived for 2 weeks. it's really frustrating you know...even my 11-year-old-satria is still running strong without any major problem!
before converting the gearbox, i did some surveys (just 2 weeks ago-jan2010) with numbers of mechanics, friends, etc...and this is what i've found out:
1. to convert to Evo 3+shiny, stainless steel beautiful piping+workmanship will cost around RM12k (and above la...of course).
2. Evo 3+workmanship cost around 9-10k.
3. v6tt will cost around RM9k..also complete with piping, workmanship, etc..
4. gearbox manual only- cost me RM3k...so far, after a week la! ok, no problem...
at first, i was surprised to hear the harga because i thought it would cost me only around RM8k to get Evo3 with workmanship and so-on so-on, but sadly, that's harga lama! so, after a long consideration, i convert to manual only la. that's all i can managed for now...(i hope it only FOR NOW!)
so, that's an introduction about me and my machine...thank you..
