[QUOTE="Ecc0, post: 624880, member: 20086"] 1) check is model 2.5si. If so, it has 218 HP. 2) i dont know about Malaysia, but for sure there are plenty of tuning options, available for order from overseas.. 3) im not really sure..i think no.. 4) -front lower arms bushes -brake pressure sensor (easy to check if you try to drive car in zig zag fashion, try some empty parking space) -valve cover gasket (sometiles oil can leak a bit from it, straight down to exaust pipe just under it, and causing scary smoke..and ugly too) .. seek for black burnt traces just under it over heat shield..its easy to clean too, so you can just touch inside with fingers (engine must be cold), and your fingers should came out dry with maybe small dust..if came back oily or with black burnt out remains of oil..thats it (cheap to repair) - cockpit rear mirror for leaks (it should be photo sensitive and react on light intensity), easy noticable as some kind of 'liquid' is spreaded inside mirror (cost 2 K i think at AB) - electrical power steering..if you feel it stuck a lil bit while you driving, ALERT, because its about to die and cost is 10K. Best way to test it..try to drive somewhere straight (doesnt require steering, or very very minimal)..drive like that few minutes and when you try to steer left or right, you should feel slight 'stuck' sensation, if steering system is about to die..after that 'stuck' sensation, will behave normal and easy so dont be fooled by that..
