Maybe could share the shop name, so we could aware in future...

speedwork? as in the speedworks? with locations here Contact with us - SPEEDWORKS?

AFAIK, hotbits came from australia and not germany, and speedworks licensed the production here in malaysia... if speedworks PJ that you refer, it's true that they manufacture their own springs... the factory is beside the shop maa...

hearing genuine hotbits spring broke is nigh impossible

i'm not saying that you are wrong, just want to confirm izzit the real speedworks shop that you refer? because I'm afraid there's a lot of fake product around

need to confirm, are these below speedworks (with an 's') the place you bought the springs?


SPEEDWORKS (M) SDN BHD
Lot 2, Lorong 51A/227B
Section 51A
46100 Petaling Jaya
Selangor, Malaysia


SPEEDWORKS PENANG
No. 301, Jalan Perak
10150 Georgetown
Penang, Malaysia

the reason that I'm skeptical (even though I'm not using hotbits springs) is that lots of my friends used hotbits springs manufactured at speedworks PJ for years and never broke... and for a fact that 2 of them involved in heavy frontal accident with total loss managed to sell off their springs because its still ok...

again, not saying you are wrong... just wanna clarify

the springs....summore still under warranty ma.

yes mayb im bad luck to get the defective unit..as a professional manufacturer they should replace 1 with same spec as the old spring and not simply take n said this can b use as same...the spring they replace for me shorter then my previous spring..im so nice to ask if i buy another spring to match the shorter pc he say RM200 per spring i was WTF man...this is call professional??

Normally, during warranty period.
Seller should provide 1 to 1 ex-change to customer.
Result, customer will get what they paid for.

Like that also can !

Must be cooling process not done properly !

I will not touch K&N filters too ... its not meant for daily use in our traffic... K&N for track ok.

So much dust it sucks in.... screws up your airmass sensors . Cost me 800 bucks to change.

hi people! i just got a new APEXi turbo timer (black limited) which comes with A/F, O2, Batt, and Timer. Everything's working fine but the A/F reading shows nothing "--.-" in the first 2-3 minutes when i start my engine. is this normal or do i need to check my airflow sensor? the engine (4G93T - Auto) is half-cut just masuk last week, need to make sure i check EVERYTHING while still within the 10 days guarantee.
