half cut itself cost me RM3,800, installation + wiring RM1,800 and change all the necessary mechanical stuffs is about RM3,000. I traded in my old engine and gearbox to him and he minus off RM700 (cheap?) from the total cost. This is way over my budget and i have to put my new sports rim and skirting on hold! haizzz...

Re: finally...converting to KF

thats murali's style.he change everything so that after 4 years no need to change anything except oil.well,according to him la.my bad, actually 4.5k already include labour.CL, to you still have the receipt with u?perhaps i should make detailed comparison with yours.murali gave me quotation stated as;

  • 1pc timing belt ori, 245
  • 3pc timing belt tensioner ori, 460
  • 2pc timing belt crankshaft oilseal, 44
  • 2pc timing belt crankshaft oilseal, 36 (just noticed this,whats the diff with the one above?)
  • waterpump gmb japan, 235
  • fan belt, 38
  • a/c belt, 36
  • 2pc ori valve cover gasket, 230
  • ori real flywheel oil seal, 98
  • 2pc driveshaft oil seal, 44
  • u hose, 14
  • engine oil, 74
  • gearbox oil, 36
  • power steering oil, 18
  • brake oil, 18
  • coolant, 22
  • a/c gas&oil, 65
  • plag iridium, 312
  • 2pc cam seal plag, 56
  • ori petrol filter, 45
  • brake twin servo, +-280 (murali couldnt find this.so use back from halfcut)
  • spray engine compartment, 250
  • labour,wiring,dashboard,suspension, 1800

total = 4456

still, price not include all hoses, clutch if faulty, brakes and exhaust welding

is it roughly the same with u CL?other people may want to advise?

exactly the same as mine. mine was RM3000 + RM1,800 so makeup to be RM4,800. My halfcut clutch pad gong oledi, so have to change a new set which cost me around rm400. brake servo he couldn't find it so i also use back my half cut one. and... shhh... he didn't charge me for the RM250 engine compartment spray because i found that he use black can spray to hantam only, sooo... hehe...
