[QUOTE="semperfi, post: 3284174"] No problems bro... I totally agree with you with KL local tuners. Don't get me wrong but I did broaden up long time ago... Way way too long. But the fact is, I'm here in Kota Kinabalu. If only you have been here and you'll know. There are no known tuners here, in fact there is none. (please read my previous post-I'm working in Borneo). You are in KL... If only you've seen the way they work on your engine... I blew my previous cars' engines too many times, turbos leaking... missing bolts and nuts... missing parts...
