Yo! I have a 1996 Kancil 660 awesome condition. And the more I drove it, the more I loved it.
In my opinion, one of the best Kancils I've driven so far, better than my friend's old Kancil.
I wanna do more. I want more. And since I'm new to all this, I wanna ask what would you guys have me do to start off?

I'm more of a power freak, although I can say that I handle my car pretty well.

So, where to start? Get a new engine? Or what do you suggest me do first??

 

[mADmAN]

wat to do will depend on how much money u got.....so how much money u got?

give exact numbers for ur budget... "not too expensive la" is not a budget


anyway...for me... i always do the handling and brakes first before going for power. unless i have enough cash to do everything one shot la

 

[Ikmal91]

Well, what if money isn't a problem?
Giving a ball-park figure, I'd say I have around 5k to start.

Handling and brakes first eh? Go on. What to do what to do?

drop in a L200 halfcut...................

 

[Ikmal91]

L200 Half Cut eh? If so, then where do I go from then on?

 

[mADmAN]

adjustable suspension... brake upgrade (mebbe discs front and rear) and also rims n tires...

and like ensem said.. transplant.

 

[papagoines]

5k? me think you can get L5 4cyl turbo halfcut + all bars from ultra racing + decent suspension

After that, upgrade the turbo first and delve in engine management a bit later on... you'll be suprised what a 660 block can achieve...

y not just buy another modified kancil thru the second hand car yard...
haf a test drive to determine if u like it or not...
keep your current kancil stock...it might be a life saver in the future...

big power comes with BIG INVESTMENT with NO return...

5k can do a lot to kancil bro. I would recomend L5 halfcut. No point going for L2 as you just pay a bit more for a lot more. Or if you want to go illegal and crazy, L900S can ka? Hahahaha...

 

[DanzEterna]

go for L2s manual halfcut, can even tapau L5(3pistons), L5s(4 pistons) abit manja compared to L2s & its reliable too.....

2nd : there are no rear adjustables for the rear only front. so either u could inject all 4 absorbers with oil, it would be as hard as adjustables. not sure hw much, u need to consult 'fstrader'.

3rd:std L2s front brakes are good enuf edi. just use aftermarket brake pads.

4th. got balance, get a new set of rims.

**otherwise ask papagoines. he is kancil turbo sifu.....

Whoa Danz... You played k car before ah? So detailed one...

By the way, what does a bit manja means? More fragile? And why 3 cyl better than 4?

 

[DanzEterna]

nola....im using std kancil 660 only,
cos i got 4 bro in laws all was using kancil turbo before.....so i learned from them lor......keep changing engine, L2, Ls2,L5,L5s.......they've tried all edi, the best is still L2s.

manja like must take extra care of the engine, if not 1 by 1 will rosak....if Ls2, can tahan abit la......u go for drag or track day also no problem wan.

 

[panjang ensem]

danz said it loud n clear.................L2 memang da best, easy to upgrade....and with enough $$$$$ 200WHP can be acheived no prob.......wat summo u want........hehhehehe

 

[DanzEterna]

if u go to kelantan or tganu ah, especially during raya eve, all kancil turbo's will come out & play, u can see L2s using TDo4 turbines until they have to cut the front grill for the turbine to stick out with silvia intercooler.......damn...

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

some say L2s engine was bulletproof engine....


compared to fragile jbjl L5s.....


this only applicable when u going to increase the engine power.....




if stock standard engine comparison i would say jbjl L5s was better in everyday drivability and fuel economy..it got slightly better torque....
