engine transplant or get a new ride ?

[eugenekeith]

hi guys , im new in zth . nice to meet all of u . am driving a 15 years old satria 1.3 , which brings me alot of problems . planning to transplant an engine in but as JPJ rules stated , 1.3cc can only convert up to 1.5cc or mayb 1.6cc if i grab more cash from wallet . as im confusing , which would be the best choice if i have 2 option , transplant engine or get another ride . budget for getting another ride will be around 40-70k .
hope brader brader will give some opinion to me .

with that budget getting a new car would always be more preferable less problems less hassle :rolleyes:

new ride

 

[sarutobi84]

Plenty of new car too choose from your budget bro,you can get 4 doors car such as vios,swift,etc.pay the deposit(normally within 5k range).and enjoy new car.of course monthly need to commit payment.
With new car no need to worry for warranty and service(oil chg,etc),all covered in package. I have frens who ride quite old car,monthly repair sometimes can reach 700 because wear and tear.(aircon leak,overheat,here and there break)

new car will the best option for you.....many nice car u can buy within ur budget..

 

[eugenekeith]

thanks for the opinions
even all of my frd recommend me the get a new ride , or a younger car etc 07-10 born car .
but am looking for car with perfomance based , like satria neo cps is in my list if im going to get a new ride . but unconfident with that car coz heard many bad comments from zth-ians or other forums .
And actually im itchy to get a satria gti r3 . hahaha , but it will be a joke if i changed my car to a similar car .

Get another car.

 

[AkiNa VaMPiRe]

u should get a car depends on wat u expect from it..such as family car, fuel saving car, or street race car...

 

[eugenekeith]

Street racing car perhaps . as im the only person who will drive the car . and take a new ride as a 2nd car for after work driving . how u guys think about satria neo cps ? need a cps owner to give some opinions here .

Buy a new car,V-Tec DOHC

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

don't buy new car...

if u carefully manage your budget then your old satria can be better than those new car

1st get the 4g92mivec halfcut,transplant everything...i really mean everything from the h/c....then get UR rear anti rollbar,...then get new adjustable suspension,replace all bushing into PU bushing, get decent bodykit (mivec if yours was mirage body model)...sent for spray, get a set of new 15" rims and tyres......tada~ satisfaction

keep the engine stock would be better option....just play with exhaust,adjustable pulley and air intake simple mod would be good enough....

hahaha ^pomen_GTR^...u are the only one in this thread recommends 2nd hand car....but I'm with u:top:...For TS, 1st u have to make sure what are u looking for...

1)Brand new car
-Need to ready min 5000 at least for the d/pymt.
-Monthly commitment that can reach bout 1k(depends on what car u opt)
-Dont need to think bout ur car parts (if still in warranty, juz go to 3S,wait in the aircond waiting room, relax with a cuppa coffee&tada..ur car is ready)

2)2nd hand car
-U can buy cash, then straight away u can have an itchy hands to ur ride. Can modified whatever u like w/o worrying those modification will void ur warranty.
-Have a bragging rights(the car is not under finance anymore)hehehehe...new car must wait several years to settled , then only it's yours.
-Can learn bout parts, price of the parts, where to get it (comes in handy when we encounter with crooked workshop owner). So we cant be easily become a victim a.k.a been conned.

anyway, all the decision is in ur hand, my friend...choose wisely

thanks bro , im having the same thinking with u . what i need to do to my car if i want to keep up with my recent car is to transplant engine only . adjustable , rim , body kit , body spray all is done on my recent car . is only the bushing , do u have idea that how much it would cost for the whole chasis ?
