Really?? Please let me know. Permas Jaya is in JB right? If can, can you please ask if they have some more. I want the Made in Japan one 'cos I don't trust that the MY one uses the correct type of AL alloy.

Steering parts manufacture and design is a very complex thing. Do you know that the welding technique for the steering wheel did not exist in Malaysia? At least it didn't 2 years ago when was looking into it...

Anyway, update on what is happening with my car. I have managed to get my hands on a set of Japan-made racing wheel spacers to push out my wheels a little. My last set of rims, before that fortuitous encounter with that trailer, had 7.5" offset in front, and 8.5" in the rear. My current set is 7" all round. This set of spacers are 1.5" rear and about 0.75" front. Racing type that bolts to the hub, and has studs for the rims. I am a little apprehensive about the front ones, as they may make the wheels stick out a little too much, but we will see...

I know that local people make them BUT they do not dynamically balance them once made. Japan made ones are properly dynamically balanced before they are sold. This set is used...got it for RM350...probably could have gotten it cheaper, but the seller was a nice guy, and I didn't want to be too tough.

Having them installed today, before my visit to Titan tomorrow as spacers will tend to change the dynamics of the suspension. I'll be there in the morning and expect to be stuck for a few hours. Anyone wanna meet for an informal T/T?...

permas is at JB area and i go ask other acc shop whether can get more or not, for ur info this is the packing for japan boss kit

Bro, Better check the megnetic clutch of the compressor. Sometimes bad contact at the connector's and the clutch don't engage. So no cold air. I had this problem is my previous 5~6 years old Galant and Volvo. Just check it or to be more kia su, send it to some aircond man and service the magnetic clutch.

depends on what kind of spacer u r getting...stay away from those cheapo...get forged spacer from Japan but they cost a lot....it does improve ur car handling as the width is more between wheels...but u need to find the right size to fit ur car...check ur current wheel's offset...its possible to go till +30 (evo's offset)...if u r keen...better get used evo's rim...like evo7 n above...

 

[vk9]

is there forged spacer for sale in malaysia? how much roughly it will cost?

hard to get evo rims over here lah.....:confused_smile:

Only way to use it is to put in a rubber tube, like the old days. It will allow you to use it like normal, but unlike tubeless tyres, it will deflate the moment you get another nail...

Still...it will allow you to maximize the use of your tyre until you are ready to get another one.

Also, NEVER just change one tyre...ALWAYS change them 2 at a time, or all four together. You need to balance the left and right tyre wear to keep your car in balance... :)
