Anyone knows of any feilo being sold with the transplanted 2.5 litre engine? Nowadays I check on the Star paper hor, most 97 batch feilo are less than RM50k. Most are RM46k ++. How much lower do you think can bargain ar?

Actually plan is like this. Buy a 3.0 feilo. Saje want to feel power of award winning 3.0 litre engine. Paling maximum also for one year la cos road tax issue. (if kaya liao then nvm). After which I intend to transplant the lower cc engine.

Aspire to have Yakuza fatty boy.

Advice welcome.

Ong is right, look for on good A32. Shouldn't cost alot now. then drag and drop the VQ25..then zoom zoom away! And you so lucky can get cheap tranplant somemore!!
Slup slup...maybe be one day I'll change too....when I'm too poor for my roadtax.

its consider very cheap at RM2xxx. Where can u find that price out in the market man? Totally impossible. i dun quite understand how that guy can charge so low. unless the VQ30 engine has a high price to it.

if got $$ , i'll definately do the conversion. at least can save up to RM1200 on road tax. with that can change other stuff on our feilou. hhhmmmm should consider ...

hey guys... just wanna ask u all...
today when i was driving in the rain & my fuel was almost empty. so i went to the nearest petrol station to fill up. u all know lar .. now petrol station need to turn off engine mah... so after filling my baby up, i can't seem to get her started..... i tried cranking & cranking her .. but fail. so wat i did was ... i step on the gas pedal for a few times .. & tried cranking again ... initially it gave a very weak start .. not the normal start kinda sound.. & the engine didn't came fully alive .... then i try again ... & again .. & it finally came ALIVE!... i was damn relieve..... then i rev my engine till rpm 5k to ensure everything was OK.

.. almost called a mechanic to come over. & its already 7:30pm....
then when i went to my next stop ... after turning off the engine (i was damn scare that it will not start again as i was at sg. wang) ... i try starting it again .. & again ... the engine was able to start .. but i find the sound is different .... dunno wat will happen tomoro morning ...

so .. any of u guys have tried this b4? hope u guys can help me out .... i'm planning to send my baby to Autochild Sdn Bhd in Glenmarie .. hear they got preventive maintenance service ... they will check alot of stuff for our baby ...

Yes, is possible, with trade in of our 3.0 engine, but according to the guy which the shop is in SS2, now the chop shop has too many VQ30 already, not keen to trade in any more.

Mind to share how much in total you spend for converting 3.0 to 2.5. What about your 3.0 engine, trade in? Who is the mechanic doing this for you? any side-effect? What else does your half-cut gives you beside the engine, eg. bumper, lamp, absorber & spring? brake rotor?

lawcc, bought the halfcut rm5k++ with bodyparts. fenders, bonnet, headlamps and bumper. installation with oil etc around rm1.5k
my fren did the stuffs. easy job. direct bolt on. no prob at all coz all using the halfcut stuffs. u can trade in ur engine+everything for 1.5k. not worth it. im sellin these loose. i have contacts so i can do it. gearbox alone can cost up to rm3k!!! hehehe
brake rotor + caliper no use coz single port. the 3.0 is twin port, better..

Hi Ong

You mean half-cut come with gearbox too? That is very value for money leh... what about a/c compressor? or is it the actual full front half-cut

What is the mileage for your 2.5 wagon? Which chop-shop you buy it from?

Your friend is it the one from Tan Chong? If not, can I have his contact too? Interested to convert lah...

How much is the insurance for a 2000cc car and above? Anyone can provide me a list? I am considering to get a 2000cc car but have to look into the insurance, maintenance and other considerations before I buy one. Thanks.
