[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 450040, member: 4527"] E30 really so great meh?! :D I hate the brakes.. kns! designed for left hand drive car with vacuum pump mounted on the passenger side of the fire wall, brake pedal has to connect with a long link across the fire wall to get to the pump, and the worst part is the brake tak makan wan. The wiper also swing from right to left instead of the normal right hand drive swing pattern, and the steering column is not even pointing straight to the driver's seat, more like pointing to the b-pillar.. :stupid: If I not wrong, the engine mounting orientation was designed to avoid Left Hand Drive steering column but not right hand drive.. But I must admit its still a head turner when ever I see one.. :p I was told Puspakom can be a pain when doing inspection on such old car during transfer of ownership. When they notice welding marks bigger than an A4 size paper, they will start to scrap on whichever surface they wish to ensure the car is not kereta sambung.. damn turn off.. something you need to be prepared. Like what mizhan said, best know what u are getting into. Best get a Left hand drive wide body variant.. :p :D Good luck! :top: [/QUOTE]
