2nd Hand Reconditioned Mugen Twin Loop Replica

 I was browsing through the Automotive section @ lowyat.net, and I found this nice Mugen twin loop replica exhaust going for RM100 (About 30 USD). Couldn't resist, and thought of buying it for my Proton Wira 1.6 XLi, which uses a 4G92P  (Related to the old Lancer). Started off with washing it using some strong detergents, followed by sanding it down using 600 grit, 800 grit, 1200 grit. Was too lazy to sand the whole thing using 1500 grit, only the muffler tip received the special treatment.

Original Condition

Halfway there; used a combination of Turtlewax Chrome Polish + sand paper

After Polishing

Police in China changes Mercedes-Benz ML350 into Honda CR-V

Police in the good city of Fengchenggang in Guangxi Province re-badged their Mercedes-Benz ML350 into a Honda CR-V. There is a lot of criticism in China lately about local governments who waste taxpayers money. Police in Fengchanggang so made some changes to their 900.000 yuan ML350, a Honda CR-V only costs 200.000 yuan.

But the plan went wrong. Citizens of Fengchenggang were not to be fooled and posted pics of the Benz CR-V on the internet where ‘netizens’ had a field day ridiculing the local government as hard as they could. Best part: the police flatly denied they made any changes to their car.  I guess it depends on what you call a ‘change’…

I would want to share with you guys regarding KW Suspensions.

I emailed the real KW company which is KW automotive GmbH, a company from Germany infamous for their car suspension and handling products. However, there has been a local company who seemed to be using the original KW name for its products, and they widely advertise their brand locally (you can find a lot in local car magazine). This email clarified a few things that I could sum up:- KW does not have an authorized dealer in Malaysia. The nearest authorized dealer or distributor is in Singapore- Genuine KW coilovers can be identified in yellow-purple colour, not red like the one sold by MaxAudio, or any other local accessories shop who claimed their KW is 'German technology'.- The website www.kw.com.my or its company Kim Wah Unique Trading Sdn. Bhd is no way associated with the real KW Suspensions. KW confirmed that the products distributed by Kim Wah Unique Trading Sdn. Bhd. are copycats and there is no guarantee that it will perform like the original KW suspensions. Reliability is definitely compromised.- Anything that is not listed under the official KW Suspensions website (www.kw-suspensions.eu) is not authentic.- The website www.kw.com.my is selling/marketing copycats. The ones distributed by MaxAudio are also copycats. They are definitely not KW Germany as claimed by their advertisements.www.kw.com.my <--- copycat (just like the Brothers' "Mugen High Power" brand)www.kw-suspensions.eu <--- original
