Got it changed last week together with lawrence at Topspeed, an exhaust shop in Taman Sentosa. Damage was rm5 for each mounting, total 3 mountings :) no pictures thou. milleage was about 71k during the change.
Exhaust Mounting Change
Changed my exhaust mounting as the muffler was hitting against my rear bumper making knocking noise... it was secured with cable tie.. :D
Throttle Body Servicing + Oil Catch Tank!
My throttle body havent been cleaned for the last 3 years, 70k already. Was very very black and dirty inside. Had it cleaned in Msia today as well, damage is rm80.
After cleaning, the throttle response is better/lighter and idling is more stable as well!
At the same time, i installed an oil catch tank. damage for that is rm180 plus installation. Nice engine bay dress-up... also helps in keeping my throttle body clean.
Cleaning in progress...
Clean throttle body! :D
Installed! Dont have final installation pictures thou as am rushing back to Singapore already.
Oil Change
Did an oil change today in Malaysia... bought my own engine oil and oil filter. Labour cost = RM15. :D
Next oil change at 80K ! I change oil often at around 7 - 8k as i'm using stainless steel filter which is not very good at filtering.
oh, changed to magnetic oil drain plug as well. cost = rm30
Mr John in Melaka...
My friend John sent me some pictures taken in Melaka on msn... :D All his parts are original from Japan... not cheong one.. *grins*
Belt + Pulley Change
Got my fan belt changed (70k), at the same time installed my lighten Alternator, Tensioner & Water pump pulley. Have to say, its a waste of money mod, cant feel any performance increase. My pickup is still as bad as before.

Hopefully will help improve my weak pickup that i'm having now. Consist of Alternator, Tensioner & Water pump pulley. I already have the lighten crank pulley installed. Will be installing them soon together with my belt change :)
My first Accident... :(
Had my first accident on 29/04/2009 after driving for close to 5years. Side to side accident with a Honda Civic. He wanted to claim my insurance at first but we settled on a mutual agreement as it was a side collision and claim is 50 50, no point claiming insurance. We both agreed to pay the damages on our own so case close from there.
Was quoted $200 to respray and knock back the bumper and fender.
