shaggy, u considered lucky lor, last time I only got skyline_maniac as reference, think that transplant there ok, but suddenly he PM me dun transplant there after I buy halfcut there, but so far only problem I found in my car are
1. Petrol canister, which I luckily get installed FOC at that shop
2. Door Center Locking, also rewiring as FOC
3. Air Cond compressor jam after they send to air cond shop service, but very fast get exchange on the other day with their half cut supplier, but service at air cond shop RM300, until today air cond working fine, luckily
4. Idling speed controller, mine halfcut one totally not working, but after I enquiry, they manage to find one and installed for me as FOC, luckily, that time a bit tight budget
5. After 2 weeks I found my engine head got oil leakage, then go back workshop, the boss initially wanna charge me RM45 to replace oil seal + half O-ring seal, but after installed chit chit chat chat also get it done FOC.
6. Get safety feature for gear box remove, ie, must put on P only can take out the key, as FOC also.
7. One bonnet screw not original, too lazy go back work shop, too far
8. Powerwindow wiring not chun, cause my car is 1.3 wira, then I send to one accessory installed evo2 panel, initially all switch work fine, but after transplant there, front left, rear right and left switch in the central control switch not function well, means, very hard and slow to get window close or open, din go back enquiry as I remember the foreman also feel headache when saw my power window wiring during transplant, think to go back the accessory shop to get it redo.
9. Brake problem, my car left braking power must greater than right braking power, almost cause me die after engine tranplant, and also cause JPJ inspection fail, I do replace my brake pad before tranpslant but it the problem of brake force, after sent to another shop to check the brake system, the shop ask me get a recond brake distributor, but after installed the brake also behave weird, after that I saw the machanic relocate the brake hose from distributor, then my brake ok, which total cost me RM240 to do it include change of rear brake pump, front brake pad and recond brake distributor, but until recently I check with another shop, they told me the brake hose for proton and perodua is different, if install proton car brake hose like perodua, it will behave like my car front left and rear right as front brake, right front and right rear as rear brake, no wonder, that the cause, not the distributor, but is during transplant install not properlly, maybe as like what skyline_maniac mention, they specialist in k-car.
10. All my 4 15" tyre gone after I collect my car, seem they take my car test drive like play track...damn...have to replace before puspokom inspection....sigh
Basically my advice is you get involved in engine transplant as you will know what to use back from you original engine, I myself during transplant I found the half cut power steering not nice, so I ask them exchange with my original power steering, now all in nice condition, but skyline_maniac not that lucky as he totally din involved in engine tansplant, so after that we found his steering rubber cover broke already, too bad, replace also expensive, if get replace during installation shud be cheaper I guess
