01. Motul o Mobil1 - every 3-5k oil change
02. Redline lightweight gear oil. - some ppl say it is too slippery for the synchro but s15 6 speed gb feels very notchy so forced to use ligther oil
03. redline 75w90
04.
05. depends on how hard u drive ur car motul 5.1 or RBF 600
06. endless or project mu
07. -
08. pre-gapped no.7 copper - change every oil change so didn't use iridium

Oil sump - s15 only take if i didn't remember wrongly ard 3.5 -3.8l oil. my fren did 2 track days n lots n lots of moutain runs on standard oil sump n its fine ( with trust oil cooler though)

my fren ran his s15 2 yrs on full turbo back exhaust + z32afm + front mount + oil cooler + power fc + hks evc + walbro fuel pump = ard 185 rwkw. didn't run into any engine problem. but sold the car at 65,000kms .

I'm driving the latest Myvi 1.3 and of late, I am experiencing some braking problem/discomfort. Whenever I apply steady pressure to the brakes, the car jerks back and forth (like a rocking chair) until the car stops. The movement is obvious when I brake during downhill and it usually happen from around 60kmh onwards to stop position. I tried looking for symptoms on the net and some said it is due warped brake rotors. But my brake pedal and steering are not vibrating at all. So... does this...
