This is my second mod, the 1st parts that i ever orderd from japan and from Sing Hiap Hin
I ordered HKS for the previos model which need to be moded to fit but Danny accidentally ordered the wrong intake kit and didnt tell me.
Luckily my friends and i just decided to hangout at SHH and we ask whats taking the intake kit so long to arrive, so he explained that he ordered the wrong intake kit.
I was so impatient so i accepted the trust intake kit which is suited for my ride and im very happy with it
Then i decided to order a set of TEIN Basic Coilover but it took a long time fot it to arrive, BCT was still new but SHH made a promo for BSC and BCT on the HKS Tutbo Timer so i grabbed the chance
I've seen this Greedy Infometer Touch on the net, i always wanted to have it but i tought it be like $700+ and cant be installed on my ride,
I was at SHH to ask for camcon installation and tuning and i saw Danny and Ohura and people are gathering at Danny's Evo X to see the 1st unit installed on his ride.
To my suprise, SHH suddenly made a promotion for the 1st 4 to arrive to Brunei
So again since its on promo i decided to grab it and i was the lucky 1 to get the last unit and the first vios to get it installed, many people came to the shop and was told that the unit was out of stock
At last after 3 months my tein suspension arrived, my dream of having a Tein Coilover came true, as soon as Alan called me about its arrival i rushed to the shop to get it installed just in time for the 1st wangan ivitation gathering
It made a difference on the overall looks and handling of my ride
Since my car is not that fast on straights i decided to make if fast in corners so decided to order a tanabe strut bar again another dream cam true, didnt feel much different but it does look cool and its TANABE
My ride, a Toyota Vios
Toyota for reliability
Vios for price and performance
Why i bought the vios:
I was advised by my dad not to buy a car over 400/mth because it will hurt me financially in the long run.
No deposit because i need the car ASAP as my little sister need a car.
I want a car that has good fuel economy and performance, so in my mind it must be a DOHC since im bored w/ my SOHC prelude and muct have come variable valve technology.
Must have a lot of support eg. forum and aftermarket parts.
Choice was narrowd down to
- 1.6 Mit. Lancer GLX but the engine is SOHC and dont have any VVT technology. Good power but most in the forum are 1.8 or ralliart models which are not available.
- Toyota Vios has VVTi, DOHC and highest HP and have good support have a forum for it.
- Honda Jazz the price with fulkit is 400+/mth and it only has iDSI no vtec that time, i love hondas but the price tag made me think. Most parts and forums are for the I-Vtec models.
