Not about dirty radiator. Is about the story of your LMST crash until your radiator position moved inwards.
Well, looks like you manage to sell it off easily. LMST price I think should be like 8 to 9k?

Yup, many Civic and Accord were with double wishbone. Probably now need to cut cost.....Yours I guess is minor accident only. Not as bad as lsm1991's case.
If got more people like me, also sure close shop. I seemed to think that every new car out there is expensive... Everyday poisoned by used car market and how old cars seems to be mechanically superior than new ones.
Saw a SV4 Accord at tyre shop yesterday... All 4 double wishbone suspension. I'm impressed. They don't make normal cars like this anymore.Give you multi link instead of torsion beam also consider lucky already now.
Most car owners nowadays don't even bother. Also I think the benefits of double wishbone can only be felt during high speed especially during cornering? Otherwise in city drive, the advantages won't really shine I guess....Yup, many Civic and Accord were with double wishbone. Probably now need to cut cost.....
ohh yup thats the car....Not about dirty radiator. Is about the story of your LMST crash until your radiator position moved inwards.

hehe that was some time back, i think mau cepat let go, 7.5k or something..... posted on mudah, gone within the day...
hahhaha....you are right. Got one time my mechanic also told me. He went to spare part shop, the boss bought new car, Honda with vtec. So mechanic ask why he bought vtec model. His answer, more expensive not better
.....lol
Although most people don't bother about performance, it seems that even performance cars like latest FK2R Civic Type R went for torsion beam. Coming from Honda who aggressively promoted their double wishbone superiority last time, this is a surprise. Perhaps the technology in torsion beam had improved by a lot but theoretically, independent suspension should still be better for comfort and handling because two sides of the wheel is not linked together.hahhaha....you are right.

Really don't understand why manufacturers ditched independent rear suspension. Hot hatch today, almost all of them are using torsion beam. But when you look at 80s and 90s, hatches like Mitsubishi Mirage (Satria), Civic hatch (EF,EG,EK), CR-X, they are all using independent suspension. I'm not sure about Nissan Pulsar and Toyota Starlet though...
Honda with vtec? If it is the previous Honda City between i-DSi and VTEC, I'll take the VTEC instead of that i-DSi because of that twin spark plug thing.
Normally more expensive should be better if you are comparing between the same car but different trim line. But performance wise, I won't say so. Like Vios J manual VS Vios TRD. Clearly the cheapest one will outperform the most expensive one.

Reading to through the car security and crime forums, i am really afraid to buy a valuable OS car, seems insurance wont pay up full amount, and car security systems can be bypassed . Damn those bastards. Cant live my dreams in peace. Right now with my old but good condition saga i have been lucky up to now still no kacau from these bastards. Heartache reading about the guy who bought a 1984 R30 skyline wagon and it got stolen 12 hours later. I have a feeling the seller placed a GPS device with simcard. He must have sent a location request few hours later once or twice to make sure the car is in same position then sent his goons to steal back the car. Since it was his for a long time he could hide it very well. This is also brings up mechanics and service centers that work hand in hand with thieves.

insurance..... well if there is an agreed upon value, generally no issues as far as how much payout is concerned. If your plan has an insured upon value they will pay you the entire sum regardless of its market value. If there is no stated agreed upon value, they will pay you the market value of the car at the time of the accident.
Probably bores down to cheaper manufacturing. How many buyers actually look at what suspension is used.....lolAlthough most people don't bother about performance, it seems that even performance cars like latest FK2R Civic Type R went for torsion beam.

Unless it is car guys who are serious about mechanical stuff. Otherwise, mostly don't bother much.
But still, independent suspension gives more comfort than torsion beam what? Or the differences is actually hard to be felt? Comparing Wira to Myvi, it feels like Myvi's rear suspension is sort of stiff when going through bumps. No matter how slow I try to go, the bump still feels quite uncomfortable in Myvi.

Does anyone know a mechanic in PJ with the name Arthur ? Seems he owns a 1st gen and 2nd toyota soarer.
One more thing is, car guys who are into mods will most probably go and look at used market... That is not really contributing to the new car market.Mass marketing mah! Car guy will go for special model.....lol
But contributing a lot to the spareparts and aftermarket parts industry.

Suspension may be hidden away from new car buyers. However, when compared the interior of new cars and say, 1990s car.......one can notice the difference.
New cars interiors are using toy-plastic material. Easily scratched...Just knock and hear the sound....
Park under sun for years, you'll see the plastic parts discoloured and brittled. Vent holes cabut easily...
while 1990s car interior, most with spongy rubbery material..and they are still in good form today if were given care....
