ken yeang

sorry to divert a bit from the discussion. I saw the bumpers of the beetle in the pic posted were all shinny-shine-shine. I'm thinking of getting my 1970s corolla rear bumper chromed. Is there any good place in KL to do chroming? It would be nice if the place offer bumper repair also as my steel bumper got rust holes/pits and some dents....*sob-sob**

thank you, guys

     

encikmasen

not revving when change gear one..kind like engage gear, tarik sampai redline, then baru change gear..but not until redline la..just until the engine sound is quite loud

     

nefrideum

if u put muffler like vwmania...then cannot hear engine sound...hahahahah

     

encikmasen

uhuh..then tak best laa..i love to hear the 'breeeee' sound while accelerating..

     

nefrideum

sometimes... i really wished that i'm using carb..instead of using fuel injection... it doesn't sound like normal beetle..yet it doesn't sounds like a boxer engine....headache...
