[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064734005, member: 2429"] Yeah sure. These guys located in Pendustrian Puchong - Wai N Lin. Ah Wai is the head mech and Ah Lin his brother is the 2nd guy. The helper and youngest of the lot is Ah Wei. Lots of Ah's. Man - you don't know the half of it. First day I had it stripped inside the carpet was soaking wet. Aircon pipe drain wasn't connected and seeping into the cabin. Smelt like wet dog. Rear seats were never used so the leather had dried up and peeled like scabs. Almost all the wiring was bunched up and left hap-hazard under the carpet. Best thing was some of the wiring work was so shoddy it didn't even have insulation tape protecting the twist connections. Then I found one direct from battery 4ga power cable straight into the cabin connected to..... nothing. Exposed and had it shorted to ground bye bye something. I had sooooooooo many live wires exposed to the wet carpet man.... it's a miracle it didn't burn down. Then the main fan and aircon fan were connected to ONE relay so you can imagine how melted that relay was. I spent a shit ton fixing up the interior and wiring. Re-doing the wiring and wiring harness was all there. Then grounding was so bad I had to redo that too. Oh and the modification to the fueling system was so scary too, that took a small chunk of my money to fix too. Jeezuz. Admittedly I spent some cash doing the autofoam treatment to stiffen and quieten down the car so that was one sum of money I probably shouldn't have spent. Then I spent some money on new suspension too. HLSH from a famous brand that I don't want to mention because they had absolutely rubbish aftersales service. Basically my friend who bought the car just needs to fix up the engine mis-matches and potentially a new standalone because the shitty spitronics ECU was absolutely garbage in managing the car. Made it worse when no one knew how to tune it too, including the distributors own tuner who somehow managed to cause an engine fire..... my engine. Anyway my story is a long one. I don't want to think about it anymore because it's no longer my car. My friend untung all the new bits and pieces I spent including a new turbo housing, wastegate and shit tons of other things I changed.. [/QUOTE]
