1 question,does jpj aprove?coz kia using mazda engine......nowadays jpj r very strick.

 

[ftzone]

wow... B8 210.. no doubt B8 is king of all 1.8 Turbos... KIA B8 kewllllll

 

[ryuki_ukiyo]

i've check and the friend told me that the bengkel (cobra) did everything for him, even JPJ approval. its above RM1k for the JPJ but i cant remember the exact price. will ask lor after this. wat i know is that my friend is so damn pleased with the mod. lucky b**tard

hell yeah ftzone....KIA B8 TURBO RULES!

 

[gti_vr4rs]

cool lor

 

[Joeker]

Kia with Mazda?

And with JPJ's consent?

Very Interesting...........

 

[ryuki_ukiyo]

y joeker? kia cant mod wit mazda meh??? :thumpdown coz im thinkin of doin mine la. elaborate pls

 

[nismo_malaysia]

walauwei

wow, i thought my friend talked cock with me saying got kia sephia with b8 engine.damnnn~~~!!! this would be interesting.

hey,who is the owner of the proud car? bravo cobra motorsports~~!!! next time, if i got weird ideas, i will come and look for them.hehe. maybe 1jz in a merc e-class?

now that would be interesting

 

[Joeker]

I'm not against such projects, as a matter of fact, I think its cool to see such hybrids.

Sometimes it gets tiring to see the usual Proton VR4/GSR or Honda B16s/18s or Mazda/Ford B6/8s.

But I'm curious to know how they manage to get JPJ approval since mixed marriages has been banned years ago.

Anyway, keep us updated on this project.

 

[ryuki_ukiyo]

hmmm....that strict huh?! but the guy who mod his kia got through the inspection wit flying colors...i think. of course the bengkel help him la. i dont know how. haf to ask the bengkel. i think JPJ already less strict on the matter. all i know is that nothing is impossible.

yeah ur rite joeker....very tired to c normal mod like all proton mitsus and hondas. need sumthin different la.

hey nismo...1jz in merc? this i got to c la.

p/s. is this the 1st kia + mazda mod in m'sia?

 

[ryuki_ukiyo]

hey danial, ya think spectra can fit the same engine? not curious meh? kasi a bit cioo cioo ciooo pstttt.... hehe

 

[speedking]

hmmm....that strict huh?! but the guy who mod his kia got through the inspection wit flying colors...

wah...flying color some more ar

 

[dr_efini]

cool ride.thumbs up

 

[ryuki_ukiyo]

is this the 1st kia + mazda mod in m'sia?

 

[white_bird]

i think it isnt the 1st 1 la... coz actually mazda n kia sharing some technology.. so certain car hav same engine mounting n all.. juz like sephia n spectra.. both b6 b8 also can masuk le... or mayb it's the first but i oredi heard of this long time b4 lor~~
cheers!!

 

[ryuki_ukiyo]

ya ka bro?! sori asking coz i never heard bout this b4. always heard about honda and mitsu onli. nway thx a bunch.

 

[Joeker]

certain car hav same engine mounting n all.. juz like sephia n spectra.. both b6 b8 also can masuk le

Oh I see, so basically Kia Spectras and Sephias have similar chasis mounts as B6/8.

VERY INTERESTING.

 

[ryuki_ukiyo]

just check wit the w/shop...they major mod the mounting man. basically about 80-85% of engine bay modified. fyi
