Re: Sounds of Simota
I waited so long at Avantgarde that I just gave up...
recently got my Simota from Sung Beng (6745 3266) at a cheaper price... Do check them out and compare prices...
P.S. Sung Beng got the parts directly from Taiwan and also gotta wait ard 2mtns depending on their shipment timing... If no patience, can try going to taiwan and buying it there urself, may be able to save some $$ on the part...
Now I'm doing research on how to remove the brake duct from my m-bumper and fit in a DIY cold-air intake tube.... Anyone knows?
Cheers,
Derek

Re: Sounds of Simota
no prob bro.....just did the change today.
went to poh seng auto which was near my office to get hurricane filter but too bad cannot fit my oem filter box. called up fong kim then realise they were intending to remove the air filter piping and all and without the sensor which was definitely a no no. so had to think of alternatives.
ended up dismantle this n that and then got leon (the boss) to alter my air intake to hurricane open pod with carbon fibre heat shield. since i was at it, might as well add a monster air charger eh? hehe......bitten too deeply by mod bug o had to pay money to kill this itch or else everyday cannot sleep thinking abt it....haha
gonna take some pics and show u guys later.

Re: Sounds of Simota
ok guys, here's the modest air intake mod job i did on my e36 at poh seng....hehehe
many thanks to leon and the guys at poh seng auto for taking time to figure out how to modify it cos the rectagular box air intake and airflow sensor was a real pain in the a**. finally came up with a modified adapter to attached the hurricane stainless steel pod filter with carbon fibre heat shield plus redid the front intake piping works.
next up, Monster Air charger. the capsule thingy is supposed to hold extra air so that u dun suffer any low end when accelerating.
here's a better view
and lastly, the superione i added like half a year back....with new piping...
my opinion abt the mods...hmmm....my ride sure got more power....all u need is stop step on the pedal.....like as if the devil is tempting u...hehe.....so ended up with high fc but i am experimenting with going easy on the pedal today...so far so good....will update on the fc in a few days time.....my usual fc is abt 8km/l

Re: Sounds of Simota
hi bro, sorry for the late reply. had to drive up to KL to settle some matters.
anyway, FC was great when i did the NS highway. it was like 13km/l when i was like doing 110-120km all the way from 2nd link to KL. haven't checked the FC for return trip which i was doing 140-150. anyway, the drive was shiok but damn tiring but the plus point was petrol was cheap...hehe....abt 2ringgit for 1 litre of vpower....way cheaper than SG. but the minus point is car gets real dirty and my front lid kena hairline crack and my shocks mountings are screwed....gotta go get new ones

Re: Sounds of Simota
hitmee...CONFIRM louder from outside...try in basement car park slow to moderate pick up with your windows down and find a car park ramp/slope with walls on both sides...very obvious difference compared to pre-simota..best is to get a friend to drive it past you while you stand by the road side or at bus stop...try leh...cant wait to hear from you
