I've check with BA for the normal bushes, around RM65/pc. I choose PU type simply bcoz it's more solid, hopefully it could last longer. In terms of feel, macam not much difference lah! But at the moment squeking sound appeared, probably due to installation problem (may be not enough grease)

 

[Fuhrer]

i feel that the M3 offset poly bushes has a tremendous effect on my e30.. the car feels more solid at the front end & steering a lot tighter. its a great cheap upgrade!

 

[fabianyee]

yes there are 2 sizes for the absorbers... but u don't change the strut housing unless kena accident.... the strut housing is expensive...

 

[fabianyee]

internal door handle - RM38 each...
change the handle for the front 2 doors... labour FOC... DIY mah... can be a bit tricky to put in the new handle... have to play with the power window...

RedLine differential oil : RM55 per bottle
RedLine manual gear oil : RM55 per bottle

For the M40, 1.5 bottles are needed for each of above.

This is great stuff - the notchiness of my cheapie "short shifter" is reduced and there is less "clunk" and "crunch" from the rear diff.

Got the oil from Calvin Tan (EuroCar MotorSports) .... promote ... promote ... discount next time, yah Calvin ?

I wonder whether everyone who visits this site actually contributes.I know it takes time to type out your list of repair bill but it actually helps all of us , well at least those who bother.So if your reading this thread,next time u go for a service pls contribute.Thanks.

Anyway,I spent the whole day at my mech(Chu Seng Auto In Pg).What was supposed to be a normal service turned out to be major.Here's the damage:-

timing belt 75.00
timing bearing 58.00
alt belt 26.00

(decided to change timing belt as I have done 35000km since getting the car.I know the previous owner had changed the t-belt but donnu how many km b4 as odometer not working when I got the car 2 yrs ago...guess better safe than sorry!)

(3)
distributor cap 240.00

thermostat oring 6.00
(when changing t-belt discovered distributor cap koyak and needed replacing)

(car had sound when I in and out, inspection revealed mounting and damper needed replacement)

(6)labour 80.00

(oil filter housing sprung a leak..the guys also cleaned it)


mics 30.00

I know the pricing is a bit steep but in Pg we dont really have much choice.
Furthermore I really trust my mech. Anyways do share your comments on the pricing so we all know better next time.Thanks.
