There's a standard bolt-on turbo from Greedy ready made for RX-8. The boost is only 0.5 bar and pushes an additional 50-80hp more above the standard engine output. (We'll see around 250-300whp) With the standard 1300kgs weight, it's adequately fast. Not to mention the additional torque. A brand new set will set back around RM18K without installation. So including installation and dyno-tuning, we can see around RM20K.Rotary engine very free revving one, if boost lagi fast.......lol
Share pics?Yea, keep it and let your son drive it. Inherit the love of cars to your children.
I feel this applies to most cars too I mean traffic jam is the recipe for carbon build so the only remedy that does not involve walnut shell blasting is driving it hard.
I daily my car so I drive my car hard weekly for this reason, mostly on weekends tho.
I drive an E60 now, 530i to be exact. I was craving so badly for some disposable power and good handling. Whenever I drove the SantaFe, it felt ridiculously sluggish considering that it weighs 2tons + 155hp & 350NM. Just not engaging enough and never felt confident when I was trying to overtake at high speed. Right now tho... driving to petrol station very often hahahaha
Have done some cosmetics and handling mods to it, overall pretty satisfied for what it is now but I feel like I need replace the current tint... It has good heat rejection but it's very transparent
More mods are coming but gotta save first.
Here we go.Share pics?

Can't agree more. The current BMW range is a bit too 'boring' for my preference...Pretty car E60s are the best looking generation BMW if you ask me. Everything else is pale in comparison.
But gotta love the original E36 look too.
Nah, I'd say 50/50 ish.Very nice and tastefully modified. Was it done by you or previous owner?
The very reason why I chose this gen, I feel that it has a timeless design and I never got tired looking at one. Simply beautiful.Pretty car E60s are the best looking generation BMW if you ask me. Everything else is pale in comparison.

They've gotten so fat and heavy, lost of people are kinda disappointed with the new Ms too. Not as thrilling and raw as compared to their elders but still king of the track performance wise.Can't agree more. The current BMW range is a bit too 'boring' for my preference...
Cool... nice ride anyway. It's a total different spectrum compared to the SantaFe. You must be loving it every single second.Nah, I'd say 50/50 ish.
Btw, have you guys heard of the tint company called Hamel? Looked up online and all I saw were good reviews. Price isn't too bad either, do you personally recommend any brand?
Currently have the VKool all round, not sure which one but it's kinda transparent and has good heat rejection.
Yea def but well uh not really, I don't think any of us enjoy being in a traffic jam.Cool... nice ride anyway. It's a total different spectrum compared to the SantaFe. You must be loving it every single second.
Might as well keep stock since your son also wants to take over......lolI will keep my car stock (engine) at the moment for reliability.
Most branded tint are okay, just that you need to choose what category you want. The higher heat rejection the higher the price. I actually fitted that tint for my VR, but I took the low end ones since car already so old. Did it at Vness Tint - Shah Alam. They are the distributor....Nah, I'd say 50/50 ish.

How do you like your HAMEL so far? If you dont mind, stats and color of your tint.Most branded tint are okay, just that you need to choose what category you want.

Since you have VKool already - changing would be such a shame. Just top up a cheap darker tint for the colour. Don't remove the Vkool manNah, I'd say 50/50 ish.
