DC5 Advice

[supernova]

There are quite a few DC5/EP3 running hardrace pillow ball front lower arm as well as EK and EG on street car. Noise is not really an issue if installed properly. Hardrace pillow ball are either delrinn lined or cover with rubber dust boot.
The tie rod end should be out in 3 -4 months time as the factory has just begin to R&D.

eh guys... my stock gearknob is quite scuffed up.. so thinking to change to the Skunk2 weighted knob.

does anyone know if the Skunk2 knob is heavier than the stock Type-R? Its rated at 440gms, but i cant find anything on how much the stock knob weighs....

Any ideas?

oh also, our Type-R's come stock with a "short shifter" right?

would it be worth it to change it out for lets say a Skunk2 Short Shifter? Would the gear throw distance be reduced further, or is it the same?

Hi guys, couple of questions about the DC5's privacy glass.

Is it just a layer of dark tint on regular glass or is the glass itself black? I was told by the car dealer that during puspakom inspection, they will remove it to pass the test, so am I to guess that it's the former?
In that case, when removing the tint, will it have any effects on the demister/radio antenna?
Does it also mean that when we do window tinting, the 3 rear windows don't have to be tinted?

Lastly, does JPJ give you guys any trouble over it?

Hope you folks can help. Thanks!

the glass itself is dark screen
they will remove the glass and replace with clear glass for inspection, once passed they will replace it back with the ori dark screen
depends on your luck with JPJ

for puspakom inspection, car dealers need to replace the privacy glass with clear ones because the privacy glass will never pass inspection. they will put the privacy glass back after that. just make sure there are no leaks when you collect the car.

if you are looking for proper sun/heat protection you will need to still tint the rear windows. privacy glass is not "tinted", its just a colored glass, so it does not repel UV rays or heat.

however, if its just for looks, then by all means leave those windows out to save cost.

i have never had any issues with JPJ yet *touch wood*
