Oil age is almost same for all, about 10.000 km or more for oil "super". but if you live in the city that traffic jam happen everyday, when you stuck in the traffic jam, there happen the worst oil degradation.
the cause of oil degradation from the traffic jam :
-kilometres that lost because to much stop. when you jammed the oddometer doesn't record the time spent for stuck in the road with engine and air conditioner turn on. if every 10 km need 1 hour travel time when jammed, while the average speed in the city about 50 kph, so you lost +/-40kilometres every get jammed for 1 hour/10km.
so if a day you get 1 hour stuck, there is 40km that no recorded in oddometer, multiplied with 90 day (5000km = 3 months), your oil get bonus 3600km, so actually your engine has 8600 km road. (imagine if you change your oil in 10.000km, that means you change it in 17.200 km!)
think you still need another 1400km (10.000-8600) ? wait... don't forget other factor, namely:
-idle in the extreme temperature! yes, when your car get stuck in the jammed it doesn't get fresh air supply, the oil will work harder till the limit.
-and also the gas pollution from other vehicles which sucked throught the filter, make imperfect combustion, gradually absorbed by the oil (which make the oil black/dark) and stuck to the piston and head cylinder.
so if you love your car, here is some advice :
-whenever possible, select a route that has minimal traffic jam, same travel time but longer way is better then stuck in jammed. fuel consumption are similiar but you will get engine durability and clarity of the oddometer, and don't forget you will more "enjoy" your driving.. :D
-keep the oil change schedule on time. oil at 5000-7000 km, and filter every 2 times oil change.
-use quality oil, good oil tend to be more durable then conventional oil, this extra resistance needed when you "can't prevent the traffic jam" or can't change the oil at the exact time.
-remember, that oil is like a blood in the human, dirty blodd = bad blodd = disease. the disease couldn't be feel but can suddently attact and bang! as well as the car engine, the effect may be slow and not appear but suddenly bang! don't let it happen to your car!
additional :
want to be healthy = needs some cost, but if you doesn't healthy = need much more cost!

engine port and polish (PnP)

engine porting and polish (PnP)
porting n polish (PnP) is a manual hand work that aim to improve the volumetric efficiency of a machine.
volumetric efficiency is a quantity in percentage (%). it's a mixture of air & gas that obtained on the engine.
example : for a 2000cc engine with 70% volumetric efficiency mean : each cylinder (500cc) engine they will be charged 70%x500cc mixture of air and gas.
volumetric efficiency of the N/A engine will not reach 100% due to the number of barriers from the flow of mixture of air and fuel from the intake manifold,valve,air intake,throttle body,etc.
standart engine from the factory usually only 70% volumetric efficiency, with PnP the volumetric will more improved up to 80%-85%.
because of more efficient, that's mean will produce better performance. so,the assumption that the PnP become wasteful is wrong (if the PnP do correctly), because usually aftar the PnP, the driver is so happy to open the throttle deeply and make the car more wasteful. but if using the car with normal condition, fuel consumption would be more efficient because more efficient engine performance.
if you want Volumetric efficiency more than 100% can be obtained by force induction (turbo, supercharge)
Phillips Diamond Vision

really wanted hid but not enough money? you can try using standar halogen lamp,phillips diamond vision.
this lamp are bright enough, not too much below HID. with the bright white light this product is very much different from the standard halogen lamps. one of the best hallogen for me.. :D because i have try it some month ago.
the price about 40$.
this is example car using phillips diamond vision.
nine mp3 fm transmitter

for you that doesn't have enough money to buy a headunit that include usb port, you can buy this item. FM Transmitter = FM Modulator.
FM Modulator is a tool that function to transmite audio signal into certain frequency. and then the signal will received by the car's radio antenna. example, in FM transmitter you set the signal send by 100 fm. and the signal sent to the car's antenna, so when you turn on the radio,and set the frequency to 100 fm,you will listen the song that sent by FM transmitter.
your input in FM transmitter can be IPOD,MP3 Player, DISCMAN, HP, flashdisk, etc.
How to use :
plug your input item (flashdisk,handphone,etc) into FM transmitter. and then input the FM transmitter into your car's cigarette lighter socket)
set the frequency and select the song in fm transmitter. after done, turn your radio on, and set the radio frequency into the same frequency that you have set before in fm transmitter. and happy listening.. :D

Racing Clutch & Cover EXEDY
this clutch-plate competition has based by caremetallic that have very good friction. plate based by caramettalic is right device to maksimaze the distribution of the power from the engint into the wheel. while the dekrup function is to increase response in every gearbox shift. This clutch will be more harder 25-40% (for type-s) and 80-120% (for type-r) compare with standart clutch. this clutch are highly recommended for use in daily usage car, street racing,drag racint, etc.our opinion and suggestion : this is one of the most important part to maximize your power distribution from engine to wheel. this clutch also better than standar clutch when you go driving for a long journey.

description about KSPORT:
Ksports Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide the ultimate in suspension technology for your street or track car. Made from high quality 6061 Aluminum with T6 for increased hardness.
Ksport Kontrol Pro Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide the ultimate in suspension technology for your street or track car. 36 levels of dampening adjustment allow you to fine tune the ride to your handling and comfort needs. The dampening adjusts compression and rebound simultaneously for ease of adjustment. Pillow ball top mounts in the front and rear on some applications allow you to maintain vehicle manufacturer suspension geometry design. The pillow ball top mounts also allow you a more direct feel for solid driver response. Camber adjustability is included on pillow ball top mounts that allow it for the ability to adjust camber from the actual coilover, instead of a separate camber kit.
Most applications utilize an adjustable lower mount, which means you adjust height without losing suspension travel like some other coilover designs do. With the mounts and most pieces of the coilover being designed for 6061 billet aluminum the kit is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. The steel shock body is electroplated with zinc to resist rust and the elements. The valving of each set is matched to the springs installed for unmatched ride quality and reliability.
The Ksport system uses a Monotube design in which the oil and gas are separated within the cylinder. When compared to twin tube designs the Monotube dissipates heat better, allows finer dampening adjustments, and requires more expensive design process. Aeration and cavitations are a lot less common in a Monotube design, which results in a better ride.
The Ksport control Pro Coilover kit has been designed with professional road racing in mind offering extremely high value and performance.
