[bobrio]

around 5k all together......but you must be very patient...even kia is a blueprint of mazda/ford..some part cannot ngam...nw im busy looking for the mounting...wish me luck...

wahhh... bobrio is so 'ganas'... put b6 inside.... mounting how? kena kacau ka?

im using kia rio also... *my wife actually... for me, the fuel is really 'wallet annoying!' and lack of power... but sometimes feel glad coz the trunk is big and i think a bit comfy..

but the fuel seriously a bit high rather than my b18b and kancil turbo dragcar..



*seriously, big space! can sleep in the trunk! :p

timing belt side have to put ford lynx mounting,gearbox side have to put from mazda lantis mounting,the back 1 have to put from BG model mounting bracket and the front 1 i put the honda sh4 mounting bracket.
ya...the the trunk is really big...easy for my work...n with b6 powered engine...im happy to drive my rio...even honda ZC,waja 1.6,sentra 1.6 kena tiang with my rio..hahahah
