Anyone strongly think that I should go somewhere else? I have tried AS and HL. Both got some problems.

Hi i have the intention to change my jazz transmission fluid, myself. would like to seek advise on bro that have done it before. got my own CVTF but do no have jack stand to support, is it possible to find a kerk and lift up the lift the the passager side in order to reach the transmission drain plug. from youtube the process is easy but due to the small space in singapore, one is hard to DIY. call and ask a few workshop and they charge anything from $25 - 30. which i find it ex. as to only loose the drain plug and fill up the new fluid. Or bro out there got workshop to recommend and charge lower labour fee. thank for sharing

Hey guys! i just want to share this incident i had on my previous EG9 ride... The 5th generation civic are so damn popular to those who wants performence...well not all but most people. The shape is nice, a powerfull Vtec, it gives a hell a good sound, lots of aftermarket products and many many more... Having said that...it all comes with lots and lots of $$$ to reach to a level where your car actually is alive and not dying, what do i mean by that? what i meant was these "COE" civic are usually an old car and today it has reached its age of almost 19 years and above....and you should know what to expect from an old car, replacing its wear & tear parts especially. Well here is my part of the story on my civic, I'm 19 this year and i just passed my license last year Nov, i was darn excited having to know i can drive a car and it has always been my dream to have a Honda Civic in the 5th Gen. era and i am a huge fan of VTEC & Spoon Sports! so i went searching high and low for civics went to Thompson Used car lot, SHC Forum, SG.Carmart, Ubi Automart... Till i bumped into a very nice EG9 with full Spoon Sports Decal immediately i went to call the dealer to have a test drive and a look at the car... and here is what it looks like... Damn power i tell you (to me lah) haha, then the interia was all nice well taken care of...with nice black leather seats pure JDM interior with momo steering...At that time i did't know much about checking the engines so i was so careless without caring about the engine with is the most important part of the car in order to keep it moving... And plus it was selling cheap and thats where my nightmare begins... Firsly of all i was supporting the car on my own and im kinda in a budget lifestyle so i did't had much cash to modify my ride most of the time and my plan was to save cash and modify my ride if i had the extra $$ in hand.... then after driving 3 weeks of driving and roaring of my vtec... then my brakes starts to make screeching sounds...i called up the previous owner and i said "eh bro what happen uh the break makes lots of noise, you change brake pads already?" he replied " Yes i did... only pass 4 months ago " then i was thinking why would brake pads finish that fast? Nevermind... i brought my car to a workshop and have it checked then they say "WAH U SIAO AH! YOUR BRAKE PAD FINISH ALREADY LIAO SO THIN LIKE BAK KWA LIAO! YOU ROTOR ALSO GOING TO DAMAGE" then i got angry but forget it i changed all my brake pads which cost me $150 cause my rotors are still ok...or not it will cost me more...After changing my brakes it all good... then 2 weeks later im due for servicing, so i went to a workshop to do a Premium full pakage Servicing on my car for $400+ cause i was thinking since its old why not spend abit more for the car, and i thought by doing all these my car would be healthy and again, i was WRONG! 2 months later multiple problems came up, let me list them for you... 1. Lower Engine block leaking badly 2. Lights blowing 3. Engine stalling halfway 4. Tires wared out (Until threads can be seen) 5. Gasket Wah can die liao and plus i got no more cash for all this problems...i continued and did't care so much...till one day i was driving then my "Engine Check Light" came on, i called my civic friends to ask why and they said that could be many posibilities then i realize that if the light came on i off my engine and start it back up again it light dissapears temporarily, went to some workshops to check it up and they said my ECU is in bad shape and recommend me to change...yet again i did't had cash... so then i did't change it and began driving and driving till my EG life fades. I woke up in the morning and i can't even start my engine...i was so sad and i had no more money to do anything it best saying that my EG9 passed away unless Rebuilt or Overhauled which cost a bomb. less then 4 months i sold away my civic without even enjoying yet i suffered. To all those bros out there who are in a tight budget think again before getting an old car, cause its a hell of a challenge to maintain this babies.. I'm just sharing this story so that people dont make the same mistake as i did before cause there cars are cheap to buy but very very expensive to maintain. Hope this story helps :)

On way to office today, at TPE from SK to Changi near SK East Drive flyover, I see two two poles erected (one on each side).... The Bast**ds are erecting the infamous singpore road landmark there!!!

Just a show of hands, who is intending to change his/her Chevrolet after 3 years? For those who change, would it be likely to be another Chevrolet for you?

Hi guys, I hope to buy a 2nd hand car, preferably abt 2-3 yers old. Dont really know much abt the detailed differences between the makes & models, so am open to jap/korean/conti... My concerns are resale value, FC, price & looks(am a young family man) I was considering the Corolla G9, Getz/Matrix, peogeot206, Liana hatch... etc. Would the brothers and sisters here be able to provide any advice on what to get? Thanks! Oh, also, anybody knows where (either online or other) to meet owners who want to sell directly? Dont want to let 2nd hand dealer earn my hard earned $$$
