I told them I wil look out myself an engine well maybe kena ketuk also but puas hati, then my staff was ex mech look for me and got one just came in from Japan same M40 engine only one (that time not easy to get but the older one no problem was told) so xcited price was 5.5k if not wrong was stupid then should ask whole set it was Auto but I needed engine so I just take engine only never even know about AFM also was given or not as that is not cheap. so sent to the w/shop got it fix change the belts clean up was fine all in all if I am not wrong spend about 6.5k maybe lupa sudah.Well tak tau lah had it went for puspakom inspection I am the type follow the rule lah, just imagine at the inspection I was told my cc is lower then the original about say 20 cc thats what the puspakom says so road tax gone down a little maybe lah Japan spec. don,t know I feel no diff driving but sounds better drive after change. That is the time I change all rubber parts and what ever I think hidden so done. well to tell you history of my cay you will get fedup reading it will be longer to read I am tired of typing and will continue later more interesting stories I caught from what if you don't check the mech. did, I don't blame the boss but the staff working we ourself got to check when jobs are done and I will sit and watch normally when repairs are done unless I really know the guy or a closs friend. As I say my car all are new except the body will tell later even AFM was change new a year back. still not to what I expected spent to much of it can easily get an e36 but the love for it will keep it and buy another later thats the plan.</blockquote>
