Mazda Lantis / Ford laser

[NiJ]

dont ever go to C&C to do anything they will cheat u left right and center
they`ll fucking slaughter you ...... they wanted RM 15,000
for a fucking ECU..... which i got in the end for 300 bucks from the halfcut
shop.... they wanted RM 5000 for a halfcut gearbox not including workmanship and wanted RM 1500 to fix in the fucking ECU
which i did on my own in less than 15 minutes for 1.50 cents (cost of
the drink while doing it myself) they were selling one peice driveshafts
for RM 2000 .... which i could get myself brand spanking NEW from RM 700.
AND WORD OF CAUTION DONT EVER FUCKING LET THEM EVEN TOUCH URE
CAR CUZ THE NEXT THING U KNOW URE GONNA HAF A 5,000 DOLLAR
BILL FOR SOMETHING THATS STILL WORKING.well somehow in the end
they managed to con RM 100 out of me .... much to my disliking.....
so pls spread the message..... i dont think they have changed one bit.


still the best alternative is to go find the ex C&C pple who have the proper diagnostic equipment.... for the mazda/ford/mercedes, quite a few of them are currently operating privately......... cuz C & C is such a SLAUGHTER
HOUSE......... well tho they r a little bit expensive........ at least u wont
get RIPPED OF RM 1000 for something that would cost u 1.50...
fucking hell.... RM 5000 for a 2nd hand gbox..... they wanted RM 20,000
for new........ which i could haf got myself 2nd hand for THE MAX PRICE
INCLUDING DRIVESHAFTS, CROSSMEMBERS....ETC RM 2K, more like 1.2 K
...... SO PLEASE TELL URE FRENS AND FAMILY HOW FUCKED UP C & C IS.




this is my horrror story....... ive HEARD EVEN WORSE.

so check your spark plugs. if it's dark black, get the a/f ratio tuned. I think C&C and Ford Concessioners can retune back the a/f ratio for a price because they have the proper tools to do it. I dont think its too expensive.

Rich a/f ratio also will cause a lot of carbons in the internal engine parts & the exhaust pipes....will create something like high cholestrol blood vein...:regular_smile:

Mazda Lantis & ford lynx is a good car. never regretted buying it.

hmmm...i actually heard about it as well. so now we've already got the real experience from someone here. frankly, i wouldnt go there myself. it's just a thought thou about going there. if that's the case, then dont go.
if i'm not mistaken abang edie has that diagnosis meter. he works at c&c and do part time jobs at home converting and diong minor repairs.

anyway, back to the topic, check your a/f ratio. it's due to rich mixture. especially the auto gb.

 

[b00n]

there's quite a few with the diagnosis software; but no one had the tools to retune the car ECU bside C&C........*sigh*...

I know bout the RM15,000 ECU, cos I also kenak.......phoned in and asked bout it, even the sales advise "U pegi cari kat kedai potong" which I got for RM900.
But I think the air/fuel is incorrect(Japan mah); so need someone to tune the car........
any advise??

hi, im looking at at 1.6 auto Mazda Lantis. Current petrol price at 1.92, what is the full tank and FC for an unmodded stock lantis? :)

 

[kfze]

Recommend to get a lantis 1.8 auto. Reasonable power, and FC not bad.

You will get an ABS in it, while 1.6 do not ABS.

Also, anothre advantage is, u can upgrade much easier (either to B8 or KF).

JPJ sure pass.

Lantis is a good car. Design still in touch. And best thing is, its solid. Its value for money. In japan, lantis is still popular. I got the lantis japanese lantis gathering pics as recent as in Dec 2005.

So, just get it. Spare parts ..... berlambak !!! Price : reasonable. Who tell u price and parts are expensive and difficult to find, get them to call me.

YOu must speak to a driver, not non-drivers.

Cheers !

my 1.6 A comes with ABS brake..
in fact like wat kfze said spare parts are easy to find:regular_smile:

 

[IronJ]

anyone is selling lantis?... how much and manufacturer yr?...

 

[badmotorfinger]

any lantis 1.6 auto users here? what is yr FC? how many km for full tank?

yes, i have a fren, drives this car, he said FC is really high. he cant tell me how many KM cuz he shares with his mom. on average, a full tank for him will last 2-3 days, if its his mom drivin it, 4-5 days. i need the numbers.

no doubt, i do concur its a solid car, good design, but with the petrol price at this rate, id rather find a 1.8 manual. thanks kfze for the input.

 

[kfze]

Unfortunately, there is no manual transmission for 1.8 in malaysia. If they have, sure got lots more turbo monster in a lantis body.

C&C only brings in auto version for 1.8.

I think 1.6 manual also not bad. Power reasonable, and consumption good. A close fren drove a lantis 1.6 manual, and he is getting from 450 - 480 km for a full tank of 45 litres. Thats freaking good fuel consumption numbers.
