Hi guys I'm driving a Forte SX and plan to change my stock Kumho 17 after 3 years. The KH 17 are pretty decent but don't really hold up well under wet weather. I'm looking for tyres which are slightly more performance based. I can tolerate some road noise and bumpiness. Tyre profile is 215/45R/17 Budget $150 per piece Any recommendations from the bros here?

Received a mail with regards to Bill Gates dialog with US High school students..... I think for once Bill Gates has said something that is very true. Admirable. Very interesting, please read it and have a deep thought .. Quote : Bill Gates Message to the younger generation A true friend walks in When the rest of the world walks out Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about eleven (11) things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: They called it opportunity. Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Keep yourself clean. Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. *This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. *Do that on your own time. Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. If you can read this.... Thank a Teacher. If you can read this in English.... Thank a Soldier! And for life and everything else you have.... Thank Your Parents!! Only puzzle is why thank a soldier ..

THIS IS A GREAT PIECE . One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision. The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score. The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none". The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees. The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me. The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.* The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water. This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future. After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.. The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: " Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?" The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes' The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings." The youth said, Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not the successful me today. Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship. The director said, " This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired. Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously. A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first.. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?* You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.

if you're selling a product / doing sales, will you lose your face over a new customer who is fussy/offensive/gives personal remarks etc, just to get his/her piece of business? that customer could be a long-term customer.

Reported in today ST that Singapore budget estimates for 2010 a Surplus of 6 billion dollars as the economy is good last year. Just wondering, How Big is my piece of CAKE ? ....... With the solid income from the 2 IR's, all Singaporean should enjoy the surplus ...... Let's make a guess...... a) Deduction in Personal Income Tax ! b) $$$ in CPF ! c) Reduce in Road Tax, Property Tax, Import Tax, Custom Tax ...... etc.. d) Reduction in Medical fee or increase COE quota for only 2011, I need to upgrade my car .......

Just a piece of advice if you are intending to buy an old BMW E36 car since someone has posted about the defective FPFP issue with the N54 engines. All E36s (apart from the M3s) suffered from weak rear subframe and suspension mounts (esp. if you are using aftermarket ones!). These places on the chassis is know to crack over time and you will hear squeaking noise etc coming from the rear when you go over humps. My old E36 back then suffered the same too. Only solution is to remove the whole subframe and weld up the cracked areas and reinforce it. M3s didn't have this problem be BMW has apparently reinforce them with additional plate (seems like they know the problem already). Another important issue is about those 6 cylinders only E46 and early E39. They are M52 blocks which uses Nikasil cylinder liners. Sulphur in the petrol will eat away the liner and cause excessive cylinder wear. No solution to this problem other than replacing the entire engine block or rebore and sleeve. M50 are cast iron block so no problem and later M54 blocks are using Alusil coating so no problem as well. The 4 pot engines like M42/44 are cast iron blocks so no problems as well. SG petrol should be generally OK but if you are getting an old car, just check the compression of the engine to make sure. If you only discover after you buy the car and dealer refuse to acknowledge the problem then its too late. Some old Z3 cars also suffer from chassis cracking on the undercarraige. Thus if you are going for Z3. Make sure you check the undercarriage for any telltale signs of welding cracking etc. Btw, I also read from BMW-SG that early E90 have problems with the valvetronic and PML apprently replaced the entire assembly to correct the issue. Its VERY EXPENSIVE if car is no longer under warranty!! I am not 100% sure, just read abt it back when I used to surf the forum frequently talking about E36/E39.

what do you mean when you say a wheel is a 3-piece wheel? what are the advantages of being a 3-piece wheel? toughness, durability, weight or design? was browsing AUTOart and got curious, they have some nice rims.

My exhaust pipe exit below my bumper looks tiny... Is it legal to cut off the whole piece and weld a nicer cosmetic pipe straight to the muffler box? Or can I cut till leaving a short pipe, then bolt the bigger pipe to it for legalities sake?
