trojan,
how much u change yr timing belt?
i surveyed around, gates timing belt, rm250 (100k km), water pump, RM150,
workmanship RM200, altogether RM600.

more n less just like urs....just my workmanship a bit high, rm350...sucks!

i don't think rm600 is enough...all ur oil seal, bearings, hydraulic tensioner etc. need to change too...

bro trojan,
sorry, water pump RM105 not RM150.
the oil seal & bearings come 1 set with timing belt ma...
yours does not come complete set ah?

 

[trojan]

yahh now most tyre manufacturer got their plant in asean country like yokohama in philipines, bridgestone/goodyear in thai ..maybe to gain less tax n low cost coz now all barang price increase like #$#^^

about da sumi im not so sure..but another brnd call achiles@neuton fm indon also ..used it on my waja,so fa ok n good price

 

[trojan]

price for indon tyre still reasonable...performance wise, should be ok for me...falken/dunlop still maintain their reputation eventhough it is not 100% made in japan...

but u just look at thailand made tyre, eg. bridgestone potenza re001...damn expensive man...it ain't look good either...the sidewall looks softer than my indon's dunlop...

thanx lan, im searching for branded 2nd hand tyres now..

[trojan]

danz,

b4 u buy 2nd hand tyre, u must ensure the manufacturing date on the sidewall of the tyre...some 2nd hand tyre were manufactured 2-3 yrs ago...just be careful and bargain as much as u can...watch out for re-threaded tyre too

 

[DanzEterna]

but do u know anywhere can find good bargain tyres ah?
any recommendation?
