U didn't do firewall didn't you? It's the hardest part to SP but blocked off the sound from ur engine.
Anyway ur FC affected by the additional weight?

It's impossible to apply blanket policy to stop people from owning a second car. Those who really need a second car will go Hong Lim Liao...
But in sure they can do more to deter the rich from buying extra cars tht were only put on show in their garages. I think the first step is to increase their maintenance cost, real increase, road tax, surcharges, insurance, etc. next up additional income taxes for 2nd vehicle.
Another way is to allow only 1 car per NRIC. So a couple can still possess 2 cars, which all other additional costs still apply.. They wun have a choice of whose name to use for buying insurance then... Restrictions! ;P

Precisely that's my point. Improve ur car stability before u power it up and Chiong high speed...
My max was only 130kmh with my previous pica, fully stock on 195/45/15. Din have much chance to go further in SG... But since mine was stock, the ride wasn't really stable, starting to vibrate and whole veh feel like a rolling tin can.

Power is nth without control... U need to make sure your ride is stable at high speed.

Is there any problem if I attach multiple power sockets to y existing coherent sockets, to run several gadgets concurrently? Beside using up battery faster, it wun kill my electrical components or battery right? Currently running GPS and purifier together, and charging phone as well

Just be careful. Pica is still a pica... U may be an excellent driver, but pica is not designed for speed. Even if u have the best susp, brake or body kits, at that high speed, any slight mistake or debris on the road may caused ur whole car fly off the roads.

Check below your dashboard f you have anything obstructing ur steering axle. I encountered this several times, ended up is some wires and loose items blocking, thus when I turned the axle rub against it. No big issue actually...

I have just recently replaced my aircon cooling coil due to leakage and sound coming from aircon vent. However, I realised that my undercarriage seems to be dripping water whenever air con is turn on... Is it normal or is it leakage again?

Juz had my tyres changed today at JB. Managed to get my botak tyres traded in for a slight discount, and by paying cash, its easier to to negotiate. Comes with balancing and free alignment... Save over a hundred bucks compared to prices in SG...

What's the point of asking the person sign the paper when the rent itself is already illegal?
If wana rent illegally, have to be prepared to face such risks...

Duno abt Firestone, But I dun trust Falken ESP on wet. Go for Continental for touring class and Michelin for performance.

Anybody here always cross over to have their cars serviced or tyres changed in JB? How's the workmanships over there?
Was thinking to have my tyres changed to Continental CC5 which is Malaysia made, and checked out that it was so much cheaper over there than in SG.
Anything to look out for when i change my tyres there?
Appreciate sharing of your experiences here... Thanks!

KU31 is a UHP, performance no need to explain. So far I have used for more than 40K, only activated my ABS once on wet during ebrake... Feel very confident on both wet n dry...
However, there are no best of both worlds. U have the performance, u hae to sacrifice the comfort. KU31 gets noisy after 10K, real noisy. Road feedback is so much u can feel whatever ur donuts are going over. Especially if the rubber gets harden, it's even more obvious. Well the grip is still there now I'm over 40K... NO regrets.. Think I will try comfort tyres next round...
