I meant filter and cleaning kit. $120 is a tad high considering the filter can be gotten for about $90 and the kit at $20.

 

$100 is a good price to offer. [;)]

 

Just went to McWell Auto Venture just now, he said for the Focus, it would be $80 for 5 pieces. Sounds like a good price to me. That doesnt include the cleaning(lifetime apparently). Initially it was quoted at $98 for one piece. The $80 price is for 5 pieces and no cleaning. Is that reasonable? [crazy]

 

Must check the model number whether is for your Focus. (diff yr diff model #!)

Mcw told me new mondeo and old are same sharing the filter model #, but actully not. total diff! [mad]

Good, $80 should be good price. (when buying, do check the origin, since Taiwan got imitation K&N)

U mean $80 if U get 5pcs? Cleaning kit not absolutely necessary, just need the oil and it's $10. Cleaning can be done with shampoo (yes, it's true!) [;)]

Yeah thanks! Would keep that in mind, now waiting for the Focus people to signal their interest! [angelic]

Wow!! Corolla GLi can hit 170km/h... is this the top speed limit? means that u can't go further or u can still go faster?!! Hey TB.... new record.... my Corona can hit 200km/h... maximum liao.... [:)]

 

Your Corona can hit 200 km/h??????? NS highway or Singapore?

You driving a AT(1.6) or ST(2.0)? Auto or manual?

 

Sorry for the questions but 200 km/h is quite fast. Curious, your car stock or modded?

 

I struggle to past 170 on my AT190 (A).

Yah... i hit 200km/h on NS highway... was trying to chase another car that overtook me.... but apparently.... the car also hit 200km/h..... cos i don't seems to close in on him.... or drifting away as well.... then chase for awhile... sian liao..... then drop back to my normal speed...... 160km/h. I'm driving Corona AT190 GLi 1.6 Auto. Everything stock... except JetRacing cable, plus Denso spark plug & in-line Broquet... that's all. Back then ... i was using stock air filter somemore.... now K&N drop in... after hearing good results from Cool & Lester.... so tempted to mod mine too now.

 

U sure u struggle past 170km/h? The part that i struggled is from 180km/h to 200km/h.... and one thing about Corona (don't know the rest of the model) is that once u hit that speed... it's very easy to maintain it there.... and for Corona AT190.... the rpm is only about 4,000 or 4,500rpm @ 200km/h!! Oh yah.. my tyres & rim is the stock one... 185/65R14 too.... [:)]

OK, will try to hit 200 when given the chance.

I'm running 16" wheels. Maybe that's why huh.

 

My car is also very much stock except for an exhaust that I'll be changing back soon. [:/]

Hmmm..... i ever heard from pple that having a bigger rim will have better top speed.... but in any case.. there's so much variable.... doesn't matter also... but good to know the top speed of your car tho... [:)]

Actually, it all depends on the power of the car. Bigger wheels, 17" for instance, with ZR rated tyres will allow an EVO for example to achieve it's optimum speed rather than if it was running on 14".

 

But the Corona has, well ... hardly any power to speak of... So the stock setup is probably best. [:)]

We're having an all-Corona meetup tonite. sms me at 9-873-8475 if you wanna join us, most welcome.

 

Cheerio! [laugh]
