Nicole, the chick modder

[eyong]

Nicole, were u using uprated pads or something (like metallic-based pads) before? If you are just on standard pads, maybe have your discs check for warpage (if you are the aggresive, late breaker like me). Also, if your brake is spongy, you may need to bleed for new oil. How long have you had your car for now? Don't know if you need things like Brembo's etc (very costly on pads alone and they don't last long either). If you go for works brakes, means you need works disc as well. Unless if you could source for some good pad (endless, or AP-Lockheed), coupled with say Castrol SRF, or AP-Lockheed 600 brake fluid should be enuff for your use.

It all boils down to what you want to use your car for. A well set-up suspension gonna help alittle with the braking as well. If you go for coil-over, the ride's gonna be rough for sure. Don't know if there are any good good suspension tuners in MY, but I used to work for Bilstein motorsport in Oz. Just make sure you have good aftersales support when you get coil-overs struts. I am currently using Hot-Bits, they are ok ... maybe not tuned to what I would expect though. Then again, I expect alot from a suspension from where I were before.

where can i get all the help i needed? any place i can go?

Haha ... good question. Not sure about KL, but I was sure lucky to find a mech here who is also an engineering grad, short of a PhD. But I thought you hang-out at a workshop anyway? Am sure your fren fren there can should you around. Maybe some expert sifu sifu in zth can point you to some mech shop too.

Point in purchase; you want to see proven results, and finishing of the product, not just some packaging, or where it was made from. Or maybe some leng-chai sales-"master" ...

[nicole_nic]

i don't think i'd be modding my car anymore.. sigh.. unless some accessories.. coz my mom is planning to sell my car off.. my car now worth RM30k only! WTF!

last saturday, me, my mum and uncle went to the nissan showroom.. i tested the sentra.. omg.. blardy hell.. no power even if it's 1.8.. i wonder why.. then my uncle booked the cefiro 2.0..

now i'm wondering what car to buy.. either a honda or a BMW E46.. hopefully the price will drop in another 1 year.. hehe..

 

[Kyogezsho]

BMW z4 !!

 

[nicole_nic]

nah.. might as well get an evo..

when we were at the nissan showroom last week, my mom asked me if i want the sentra.. if i want, she'd book one for me BUT then after i tested, i whispered to her.. no power.. then didn't buy.. hehe.. i was pushing the car to go faster but it can't.. my mom told me that the salesman were all looking at me while i drove the car.. bet they were shock to see how i drove.. haha.. don't play play..

let's see.. what car should i get? the skyline looks nice.. dunno my mom wants it or not.. is it high maintenance? what about the E46? or i'll get the civic.. one generation older than this new civic... hmmmmmmmmmm.....

 

[Kyogezsho]

skyline is high maintainence as in petrol consuming and parts expensive . if u want to get skyline might as well get Evo.
