My special order from the Land Of The Rising Sun had arrived!



Cusco Mission oil 75w85 GL-4 oil for my gearbox with Cusco LSD. Hopefully with this it will be silky smooth. Need to wait for my MIVEC gear ratios to arrive then I'll pour this in. This oil pretty much does not exist in Malaysia, even the official distributor here does not bring this oil in. GL-4 rating for FWD gearboxes with brass synchros.

RHDJapan is an awesome place to buy legit stuff from Japan by the way :beer:
wow.. how did you manage to ship this at a reasonable rate? The whole carton is yours? Sell me one? :biggrin:

6 bottles + Fedex Priority was only RM640 or so, roughly RM106 per can. Locally here people selling the other Cusco LSD oil at RM200 per can of 1L lol.

And why you need this? You're an RWD means you can use basically any LSD oil in the market with GL-5 rating. This oil is rated GL-4 specifically for FWD gearboxes.

The poison is strong with this one :laugh:
Poison for what? I just share the happiness :burnout:

Also, now i suspect my clutch master pump got problem, few times happened the clutch pedal biting point just dropped.... gahhh more time at the workshop

Nehh, I'll buy just enough for myself, because if I buy too much will catch the attention of the kastam.... And yes it's cheaper to buy from Japan than from the official distributor here

Kinda makes me wonder about fans and stuff too. Perhaps I could get an aftermarket fan cheap too.

That is why Tesco and Aeon Big can sell their oil so cheap, but lately Tesco no more.....:dontknow:
Lolz don't dare try oil from unknown sources. Then again I read before international forums people using Tesco oil they say not too bad, but not sure our Malaysia Tesco oil sama with overseas Tesco oil anot, and they don't have the viscosity that I want anyway. I actually tried it once, feels ok to me, but coincidentally while using that oil my engine broke down, piston lubang from engine knocking so oh well....

Anyway, some updates!

Just bought a pair of Evo 3 front brake set with disc and calipers, truly plug and play with the Waja knuckle, no modifications required other than prying the disc cover thingy slightly since the discs are slightly larger. RM450 only including postage from Terengganu, a price I could not resist! Finally I get the brake upgrade the car deserves haha




Evo brakes on the top, my stock Waja brakes on the bottom


Before:


And now



Just wish the brakes are slightly larger though, the discs still does not fill up my rim as much as I want to, but oh well, can't complain too much I guess considering they were from the early 90's.

Also, my clutch was feeling weird for the past month or so, sometimes the biting point will just drop. Checked around and found out my clutch slave pump was leaking fluids, and since the fluids was all black and dirty from worn seals, and my master pump was also a couple years old, i just terus changed both one shot, cost for the parts is just RM200 including a bottle of brake fluid so might as well, at least I know my clutch system is in tip top shape. After installing and bleeding, the clutch pedal does feels smoother than before.

hello guys. Have question on evo I.

It was OK after the convertion. But only got this problem lately.

The boost doesnt come on time. Sometimes 3.5K rpm full boost sometimes may be 4K-5K.
The car feels laggish compare to last time.

Sometimes after boosting, the check engine light will be on.
Then when idle, RPM will be less than 1K. The car will be shaking.
Throttle becomes heavier. Can acccelerate but rpm takes very long to build up.


After body has any idea whats happening?
