hello...here goes the price list...

1)EG9 auto transmission half cut,rear disc
brake..fuel tank...rm4200
2)installation charges...rm1400

so...basically rm6K is about enough to put ur car back on the road...but then u might throw in a couple of hundreds more for the parts u might need to change..(eg all the necessary beltings,lubricants,filters)...our worksyop in tmn melawati,kl can surely do the conversion...thanks...;)

im sure in malacca got place to do conversion...try to look around... you can get either b16a auto engine from EG6 halfcut ( which is quite many ), eg9 one less in the half cut shop, workmanship i think in malacca kinda cheaper than KL, standard price is around rm1.5K including changing timing belts, lubs.

cheers

if this din turbo workshop job is good and has been proven, i guess rm1.5k is worth the money.ask him personally does the rm1.5k including runner fees.
for rm4K plus u can get b18c auto gsr.
if the mechanic is good and honest ( which is hard to find these days ) well, you can rely on his expertise.take note that normally if the mechanic sourced the engine by himself ( which normally the price tag will be higher ) NORMALLy he will give limited warranty on the conversion.that will ease your mind a bit.

good luck.

he have to come down to malacca all the way to kl mah...hehehehe... offer him free lodging+meals during conversion im sure he will do it at ur place hehe...

go ask ur mechanic first, get some details either can be done or not these days.if they assure you that can be done, ok la, otherwise play safe.second go do more survey either on the net or by asking friends, then u decide which one is the best for you.better fc take manual one, of course auto tranny makan petrol much more than manual.wanna play performance go for manual.it is not that auto cannot go but performance wise manual is much more better.maintenance wise i say both engine is easy to maintain, regular service will do then.

 

[arturo]

will be going to look for the mech very soon...how bout the hafkat?anything that i need to look out for?i need an AP for the hafkat engine rite?

62,000km auto EG9 1/2 cut is BLARDY cheap...with or w.out bodypart?

 

[CIVIC68]

According to MUNLEE's sales person, they giving offer on the EG9 Auto halfcut is because they got few units lying in the warehouse, they want to clear some stock... the one that my friend bought come with rear disc brake & dashboard.
