[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 1750773, member: 27518"] eh.. beetle is in our level oso what.. sub 100K for a lot of mods including the car.. only have to 'rajin' source for parts. Anyway, supercar is a pipe dream I gave up long ago.. a) our fuel prices don't allow 3-5litre engines that's daily driven and played with. b) import taxes will never come down unless we have no local automotive industry... our currency value is as terrible as it is, and taxes only compound the problem. The current state of Malaysian modders (if at all they mod their cars) is big rims and loads of cosmetic upgrades, with little regard as to what horsepower means, and what it's for.. how many times have you seen a car struggling to overtake a lorry at the slightest incline on the highways or go uphill at genting at a decent clip? Most malaysian cars are underpowered for highways and inclines, but nobody complains because they've never experienced otherwise. How many cars you've seen listing parts on their door that they want to have, but don't? (e.g. a wiralution with stock engine and evo parts, with stickers from Tom's, TRD, Mugen, etc. which don't make parts for their cars?) Really, these guys will never make it possible for a grassroots driver/owner to get sponsored, since they're willing to 'make' and stick those stickers for free without sponsorship fees. Observe the car modding scene in other countries.. do you see this being a common thing (sticker mania) for 'unsponsored' street cars? Frankly, there are no stickers on my car, nor will I ever put them on unless someone pays me to do so. Anyway, I'd better stop and continue my work, or this will turn into a full-blown rant. [/QUOTE]
