JinKL,
Thanks for the opinion. I shall use the Nitto until it kaputs. I can get the thermal wrap pretty cheap because where I work there are Heat Treatment Machines and they use these wraps for their pipes. I can get the cloth type 20meters for RM 60 and the fiber type for RM 120 - may be a little lesser for 20 meters. It's exactly the same as the SARD one - which is like RM 100 for just a little. I also can get the 1 inch type. I'll get that and wrap the manifold - I've seen a GTI in Terato with the wrap done - looks very decent.
Yes agree with you - the SS Racing one is a little expensive. As I know the stainless steel manifold with wastegate outlet is about RM 900 - I got the quote from Pitworks at JB (Kevin). It's from Thailand I know.
Jin - Anywhere I can get gauges at a good deal. I want the memory type - Most important is Ext Temp - because I already have a Blitz Illumini Boost Gauge. The new Blitz Stepping Motor - Black Colour can get for RM 2100 for 3 pcs with control unit.
I collect my crank shaft n conrods soon - then will build back my engine. Seems like I am unable to get the bearing - King Bearing is like freaking RM 750 - no way I am going for that. I am not able to get hold of the Clevite in Malaysia. I am going to confirm back on the shipping charges from States. I have a friend there - may be ask him to purchase it and then pass mail it to me. Bearing should not be very heavy or big right ? besides Koyo, NTN n all... what other good bearings are there?
Thanks bro.... will update you guys from time to time. Keep me in the loop - if you guys have any gatherings - I have 7 cars with me - Group - We established ourselves as Ruff Ryders - and we do our cars at our own WS at Kulai, JB - Ruff Gears Enterprise.
