just a quick question, does AS200 come with Tiptronic? cos i saw a few AS200 that has the tiptronic button on the steering, would it be 5 speed or 4 speed auto?

yes, altezza.... i might wanna get one but strangely i wanna get the tiptronic RS, cos i am too lazy to clutch in and out on motorway jam...

Found the washer in the drip tray from the previous change, so got a new washer for this one - just wandering about any damage it might have caused over the last 10,000ks - hopefully not too much!

so where did u found that round papery thing with hole? in your oil drip tray after u drop the sump screw into the oil pool? is it an old sump washer? got any pic?

after changing new engine oil, it would leak a little engine oil, dun worry too much, but if it keep leaking for a week then u might ...

yeap, there is a switch, mine BZG has a spotlight/fog light, it is on the indicator stick where u turn on the headlight... it is the inner part where u can rotate it to turn on or off, the outer one rotate to turn on the park light then the headlight... if u want a pic i can try to put it on here...

If you are good driver, even on ABS equiped car you will not require the brake assistance in emergency situation (ie the ABS will not kick in). Unless it is the bloody honda ABS wich kicks in in every occasion it feels like... quite true... me good driver, still maintaining accident free record ...

i see, my car is for normal driving, not for competition...
i guess either sell it to get a ABS fitted car or just keep on driving...

so just to make sure i read that right...

your car does not have abs and you want to fit it?

sell your car, buy one with abs.
abs cars have many different parts that will cost $$ and take a lot of effort to fit yeap, u read that right... my car don't have ABS, just thinking if it is good to have ...
