totally should read MAHATHIR want to manufact supercars instead of msia... ISTANBUL — Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has pictured the possibility of Malaysia producing "super cars" in order to further enhance the capability of the nation’s automotive industry. Dr Mahathir said Turkish supercar producer Onuk had indicated willingness to cooperate with Malaysia to produce the exotic vehicle. Dr Mahathir said he had long been aware of Turkish companies’ capability but only now he could see it first-hand. “I was aware of their capability. But there was no follow-up at the time as I was not the prime minister then, so making progress would have been difficult. “And now they are ready to collaborate... not only with that type of car (super car) but also with other cars,’’ he said . Dr Mahathir was speaking to Malaysian reporters at the end of his official visit to Turkey at the Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (ISGIA) on Sunday (July 28). The Onuk Sazan and Onuk S56/G super car models areexhibited at ISGIA and Dr Mahathir took the opportunity to check them out before he left for home. On Friday, Dr Mahathir had a dialogue session with Turkish captains of industry, and offered them Malaysian expertise to produce their own national car based on the success garnered by Proton and Perodua. Meanwhile, Dr Mahathir praised Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd's (MAHB) success in managing (ISGIA) Turkey’s second largest airport — showing Malaysian companies’ capabilities as well as their ability to expand their operations abroad. He said that although MAHB operates airports in several other countries, ISGIA — which the company wholly owns — is the largest, handling 34 million passengers annually. “It’s much larger than KLIA (Kuala lumpur International Airport), and its management is something special. There are people who recognise our capability in this field and give us a lot of opportunities," said Dr Mahathir. On Friday, Dr Mahathir visited ISGIA, which was taken over entirely by MAHB in 2014, and witnessed its operations. Opened in January 2001, the airport is the second busiest in Turkey and the world’s busiest single-runway airport and terminal. Located some 45 km from Istanbul, it recorded 16.7 million passenger traffic movements as of June this year over first half of 2019, up 3.4 per cent over the same period last yeaar. In 2018, it posted 34.1 million passenger traffic movements and revenue of RM1.15 billion (S$382 million). NEW STRAITS TIMES

I came across this website that can tell you the manufacture year, and most cases, month, of your Japan made cars. Find it very useful and just to share with MCF : http://www.japan-partner.com/check-manufacture-year.php

Is it common to have tires of different date of manufacture? I asked for 15 manufacture but was given one of 14 year. how ah?thanks in advance

Just advise other to check the tyre manufacture date and forget to check mine! Replace a set of Tyre and the Manufacture Date DOT 4512 & 4612. Bay Da Han . Before this all my tyre are only within month from production.

Given the recent thread on MRTs from PRC, ive been wondering are most people bothered by country of manufacture when buying expensive goods? For example tvs or fridges? I for one prefer made in japan or europe and would be happy to pay a premium for that.

hi.., since most of the date manufacture of tyre that state in tyre is impressed(not embossed) model, what is the possibility the dealer/ shop tyre fake it to newer date? is there any particular tyre brand or model that have serial number, so can check in internet for it's manufacture date?

As above. Anw, what is the difference between tyres that were manufactured 2-3 yrs ago and those recently manufactured?

Hey bros, why did manufacturers only include such a feature in their higher end models? is it really tat hard to put this simple but useful feature in?

Hi guys, according to the tyre code my pair of left tyres were made in 2006. However, the pair on the right has this funny coding "|||||||||||". Why is this so? The tyres are stock and when I checked the showroom models, the right tyres are also showing "|||||||||||". The tyres are 15" Yokohama Aspec dB. Attached is a pic. Tks
