Now day, youth would love to modify their own car,  from minor changing Number plate type, adding sport light to Major Modification like Transplant engine and so own, they doing this just to show their personalty.

Some how, a reasonable Modification might improve the car handling, more fun to drive, stable and so on,  but heavy MODIFICATION like transplant, Turbo Charging does request strong mentality …

Today i try to cover “why we should not heavy ” before you start to MOD please do ask your self below question :

1. Do you need that much horse power on daily drive ?
2. Are you able to handle it after MOD ?
3. You car Chassis suitable for the MOD ?
4. Would it cause dangerous for other user ?

Please watch below video, the video involve a turbo charge MX5, as car lover come MX5 owner, we do understand MX5 is fun to drive and very well balance built up car also well known World Best Selling Sport Car, but after the owner turbo charge the car, he lose all the fun of owning MX5, for example : full throttle in corner, stability, low maintenance, easy to drive ……

After watching above clip, ask your self, did he create him self a better fun car or he just Spoil all the fun ? for me he missing all MX5 fun, gain straight road performance and the tilte 335 BHP only

I think a lot driver would prefer convertible car (topless) then normal boring 3 box car but is hard for most first time buyer, due to Convertible Coupe ? Auto soft top ? Manual soft top ?

Let analysis,

Coupe convertible will have the most flexible compare with any soft top car, due to solid chassis, drive like normal coupe, but the disadvantage is obvious, pricey, heavy and very high maintenance cost ….. (BMW 3 serious, SLK, SL and bla)
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
Auto Soft top, is the most popular in the market due to, almost every car manufacturer have their convertible car with automatic soft top, is simple, just unplug two button (expensive car is just one click) and a click, also lower cost to built…. then free air (depend where, ok) for everyone, but disadvantage will be noise, insecure (some people found number protection on thin layer of leather), number theft protection ….

Manual soft top ? watch clip below :

The Mitsibishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-400 is the fastest and most extreme version of Mitsubishi’s motorsport derived machine. With 403bhp and 387lb.ft of torque on offer from its advanced, lightweight aluminium 2.0-litre turbocharged MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control) petrol engine the FQ-400 is able to reach 62mph from standstill in an estimated 3.8 seconds before reaching an electronically limited 155mph - where permitted.

Ensuring all the FQ-400’s power is put to good use is Mitsubishi’s sophisticated Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) four-wheel-drive system which appropriates power to the wheels that can best use it, giving the FQ-400 quite sensational cross-country Performance.

The S-AWC system combines a number of electronic systems that both enhance the FQ-400’s performance and safety, with Active Stability Control and Active Centre Differential, Active Yaw Control and Sport ABS giving the FQ-400 incredible cornering ability, traction and grip. Depending on the conditions the driver can select the most suitable set-up for the S-AWC system, three choices - Tarmac, Gravel and Snow - being offered via the wheel-mounted button and displayed in the central instrument binnacle.

Rebates for direct insurance

By ROYCE CHEAH

PETALING JAYA: Come July 1, car owners who buy motor insurance directly from insurance companies without using the services of an agent will qualify for mandatory rebates, a move that could render agents redundant.

The move would see new customers being given a 5% rebate on their insurance if they buy it via channels such as the Internet, telemarketing, direct mailing or by walking into the insurance company. These customers would also get a 10% rebate for renewals in the second year.

In a circular sent to the General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) dated April 17, Bank Negara said the rebates would only apply to actual owners of the vehicles.

The circular added that Bank Negara had “no objections” to PIAM’s proposal for the mandatory rebates. This is understood to mean that the move would more likely be implemented than not.

Veteran insurance agent Hardyal Singh hit out at PIAM, saying the association did not take the views of 40,000 agents (15,000 of them full-time) into consideration.
