Buying a Perdana

[vr2turbo]

yeah.. not forgetting you need to change lower arms, drive shaft etc..
every year, its becoming a part of the SOP.

my mechanic told me yesterday that my drive shaft is gone again..
3 set within 3 years..

I guess it must the kampong road that is killing them..
high hump + lowered = spend $

Or you boost kuat kuat.......lol

Kurt,

ermm, if I remember correctly

The one in green, is from evo, cost me rm 350 and I also modify the rubber to silicon type.
the one in black, is v6 type, cost rm280 for a recon.

my mechanic told me, sei is actually more suitable.

I only know drive shaft is expensive and common problem with perdana, always need to change.
this is the 3rd time I am changing again

Are you doing a lot of full turns? or your drive shaft angle not good?:hmmmm:

nope.
maybe I drift too much.. shall stop drifting..

I also don't know what is wrong, but it seems most of the perdana owners confirm will have this drive shaft problem.
hopefully with this new mechanic, it will be resolved.

wow!! bro, where did you get the silicon type from?

very common item in KL, I saw it in some perdana facebook group.
I think the price is like RM25 each?
we bought like 5 each, total 6 cars.

pretty durable as compare to rubber.

actually all these are little money, just workshop don't want to change for us.
everytime change the whole shaft.

RM25 each is cheap. Rubber ones cost more.....

What's your current car anyway

 

[pathfinder]

What was the last V6 production year?

Will buy the latest production year

Anyway will use in standard stock condition. Because the car will use for work. Need maximum reliability.

Hope the drive shafts will last longer in standard car

Only plan for Ultra Racing strut bars, Simota drop in air filter and larger S flow muffler to enhanced sweet V6 sound.

Already have turbo car for weekend drive

Save money for gearbox repair...just in case:proud:
