[QUOTE="Kenboy, post: 221271, member: 2696"] wow..you guys can really bitch about stuff eh. i skipped a lot of posts cause you were repeating yourselves. anyway..for riggy, you may or may not realise that budget is one thing, availability is another, and feasibilty is something else altogether. if you think hard enough you will realise that certain things just arent feasible. if you work in a corporate environment with high pressure and margins and results, you may know what the issues are. taiwanese after market calipers? you do realise that OEM parts have undergone tremendous R&D in the first place. the whole reason these parts are cheaper is because they are produce in very high volumes. do you really think the taiwanese brakes are better? i am astounded. and going up in size will unsettled the brake balance. CF or Aluminum bonnets? wow. to make a proper CF bonnet (full CF twill) to spec(within tolerance in strength and size) in high volumes (with a proper mould) with 'A' grade finishing (smooth epoxy or paint) is just abt too prohibitive. you do realize that the R3 satria's price is not too far away from its GTi sibling? as for parts, proton is giving ppl a taste of what you can get in a fair value purchase. keeping equipment levels up to spec is the owner's prerogative. if you calculate the parts and development cost and extras just off hand you may realise that you guys are getting bargain. try buying those things separately NEW. with warranty. with engineering development. with the assurance that everything compliments everything else. of course you can improve on the R3 satria. many things you can do. but would you buy satria if it costs RM180,000.++ including duty and tax? and no...i dont work for proton.
