1) Automatic car does not take plain hard pushes. You have to
find the G-Spot. i.e. light acceleration to get the momentum (about
0.5 - 1.5 secs) then floor it. I find that after installing Pivot
Volt Stab and Z-Stab, my acceleration has further improved.

2) If you do a lot of hard-cornering, have front camberkit
installed. This does not turn your car into Skyline but greatly
improve handling and reduce tyre wear and tear. Check this out with
Riverview Auto (AMK), look for Kenny but appointment need cos REX
and EVO always occupy his time slot. Superb skill and knowledge. I
would also warn that rims/tyres selection play the more important
part before this.....
3) During regular servicing, you can ask the workshop to tighten
up. Reduce the loose-effect by press-n-hold the knob before pulling
up the hand brake i.e. dun pull up directly and hear the
kekekekekekee.....I find the know-how and service quality is good
at Riverview Auto. (www.riverviewauto.com.sg)Look for Vincent. Tell
him Ed2004 recommended.
4) Normal sound during cooling off. If you are worried, do check
the flooring for fresh oil spill in the parking lot when driving
off in the morning. I do regular check to ensure no oil
leaks......
Hope this helps.
