Dear all.. recently, my car just running fine.. but, i sense smthing wrong with pickup.. go to service using penzoil 5-40 full synth, then the mech said.. my engine already 'makan minyak' dan need tpo overhaul plus my rack & pinion kaput that will make my car go always to the left ( i've done the alignment there also ).. my question is..

1) instead of doing top overhaul, can i just use the decarbonizer that sold around rm60 only?? the mech state the cost is around rm400 plus parts..

2) how much cost for the rack & pinion? or should i just change the steering rack from chop shop?? can a sr4 steering rack exchangeable with so4? cos my fren got wan.. can reduce the cost larr.. ehehehee

3) i've already spotted a leaking from my g/box.. the mech also said it is from oil seal near the grand shaft.. or what so ever.. :p .. the cost he ask is rm250..

above all thing, should i just CHANGE THE D*MN ENGINE AND GEARBOX TO REDUCE THE COST ??

can i just swap B16A?? how much the cost?? can some1 please give advise.. if, change.. i dont want racing wan.. just easy to maintain, with good fc and little more response.. the most important, the minimal cost..

dun do anythings... keep the money in pocket. it won't harm if u didn't done anything as u state...

if cost is a concern... try getting a D15B from an EK3-Vi... better performance than D16, better fuel efficiency, less expensive

agree with faisal

just plonk in a D15B SOHC VTEC. better FC

RM250 just to change gearbox oil seal??? mahal tuuuuu....

     

JINEIL2EN

rm250 for repairing, not mahal.... hahaha... rm250 for a used EK9 gear knob, thats mahal...
