Garage-R.. Expensive?
-
I've heard quite abit about Garage-R.. Are their services/products expensive? Do they do bodykits as well?
A few months ago i posted on getting a new car and now, my new car is coming in a week or two.. Bought a Mazda 6 2.0 HB...
Anybody here know where can I get bodykits fixed for it? I have already asked in mazdaclub forum, just trying to see if the fellow members here have any other recommendations as well... i would like to get my bodykit, foglights, rims/tyres done under 1 roof...
Intending to go garage-r to get it done.. but given their reputation, i think its gonna be expensive..
thanks in advance -
stuff from garage R tend to be a bit more pricey, but for a good reason. mostly high end stuff for hard core enthusiasts and these dun come cheap. i've bought stuff from them and comparative to the pricing from japan for the same parts, i think they charge pretty reasonable.
they do sell kits but they are all original stuff from japan (which again, doesn't come cheap). if u want cheap options for kits and dun mind getting replicas, get from other places. AFAIK, body kits ain't really their forte compared to performance hardware. -
with Garage R, u have to remember that u're paying a lot for the reputation as well.

to be frank...(not to suan u hor) garage r r doing more on performance cars....
unless u wana buy original kits, if not i suggest u go other workshop to do..becoz...i find no point putting in hks stuff in a mazda 6..unless u wana turbo-charge ur car...
dun flame me hor...its juz my 2 cents worth... -
body kit only ma.. lol.. i nv say want to increase performance.. just wan make car chio..Originally posted by timqz:to be frank...(not to suan u hor) garage r r doing more on performance cars....

fast to u...doesnt mean fast to many....keke...

well, i believe all cars can be fast as long as they are tuned/modified to the max.. that's my opinion thoughOriginally posted by timqz:fast to u...doesnt mean fast to many....keke...

err, relative to wat kinda cars?Originally posted by zerocool85:btw.. a stock mazda 6 is relatively fast for ur information ;p

Wah! Is it!!?!?!?!?Originally posted by zerocool85:btw.. a stock mazda 6 is relatively fast for ur information ;p

Er ok......but I don't think that's true though. There is a limit to what tuning can do.....for a NA car, using a piggyback....I think the most you can coax out of it is 10-15 horses more?Originally posted by zerocool85:well, i believe all cars can be fast as long as they are tuned/modified to the max.. that's my opinion though -
why din might as well get the 2.3L variant? bodykit, rims, sunroof... and More power...

i have to say that for this kind of "what if" statement, really no point in making it is there? we're talking about stock performances. Its ok to accept your car's weaknesses and love it for what it is, instead of being overly delusional about it.Originally posted by zerocool85:well, i believe all cars can be fast as long as they are tuned/modified to the max.. that's my opinion though -
i accept it has its weaknesses and stuff.. but it is indeed quite fast.. but yet again, im not comparing to those performance cars...Originally posted by HENG@:i have to say that for this kind of "what if" statement, really no point in making it is there? we're talking about stock performances.

most cars... if given enuff time and space... sure can reach 140kmh one mah...slightly longer to go to 160kmh too...
-
then again if u're not comparing to those performance cars, then what are u comparing it to? Most cars nowadays have decent pace. If u're comparing it to other 2l cars, i believe most would clock in similiar pace with your car. If thats the case then its just another "average" car, isn't it?Originally posted by zerocool85:i accept it has its weaknesses and stuff.. but it is indeed quite fast.. but yet again, im not comparing to those performance cars...
anyways i checked. your car does 0-100 in 9.7s if it is manual, according to the stats i got off one of the mazda europe website. I can tell u most base spec 2.0l Mercedes n BMWs does that as well despite a much heavier body. In fact its quite normal for a 2.0l car to clock in under 10s. In fact the new Mercedes E200 does 0-100 in 9.6s, despite an AUTOMATIC transmission AND despite weighing in at 2100kg, which is almost 300kg more than the Mazda 6.
So yes I'd call the Mazda 6 a decent car, because in today's automotive market, that is the standard everyone must meet, that is the level playing field. If Mazda had made this car say, 10 years ago, then I'd have called it a fast car, but today, the bar has been raised. -

no.. never.. but i never said they were slow ma.. so u all don assume i sterotypist! i was comparing to the rides my family used to own!
-
well i never said u said that its slow, but perhaps u need to raise the bar according to the market nowadays. 9.7s for a 2.0l car is nothing even remotely impressive. Its the standard nowadays. If u're comparing to older cars, then yea of course its considered fast. Nowadays most cars are pretty fast by standards as little as 5 years ago. But compare them to their current market competitors and u see almost everyone has that sort of standards nowadays.Originally posted by zerocool85:no.. never.. but i never said they were slow ma.. so u all don assume i sterotypist! i was comparing to the rides my family used to own!

fast as in pick up from 0km/h or fast as in clearing the spedometer?Originally posted by zerocool85:btw.. a stock mazda 6 is relatively fast for ur information ;p
if u reach 180km/h of cos its fast ahh...but problem is take how long to reach tat speed. -
i think u'r trying to say the car can be faster then stock vehicle of the same kind?Originally posted by zerocool85:well, i believe all cars can be fast as long as they are tuned/modified to the max.. that's my opinion though
Modified to the max
, do u mean lup turbo, change gear ratio,clutch,lighten flywheel , port & polish , big bore,forged piston all those? -
