Driving into Malaysia

Post by jansonfinn » Wed Nov 21, 2012 12:36 pm

Hi guys, I'm a new EG6 owner. My friends discourage me to drive into Malaysia.

Just wanna know is it safe to drive into Malaysia & park there? As in going shopping or jalan jalan?



Side track abit......

Yesterday nite went in to top up petrol & managed to see 1 of the yellow EG6 SBW78xx (if i remembered correctly), wanted to wave to you but you was with your gf, so skipped the thoughts. Haha.

Anyway hi to you if you managed to see this post. :)

Any B-Series is NOT RECOMMENDED to park and go shopping.
If you want, your car must be within your sight vision at all times.

Maybe if u wanna try your luck.

Which unit u bought >?> :lol:

Oh, I bought from a direct owner, can't find the link as he already removed the ads posting.

Car plate is SGV108. If anyone knows any history about this car, good or bad, let me know. Wanna understand more about it.

Thanks :)

What about further up north like KL or Malacca? Does the syndicate operates the whole of Malaysia or JB only?

Can deter but cannot prevent.

1) Park Head in (harder to jack up the front and tow off)
2) Steering Wheel Lock to one side (If try tow, the car will swing one sidr)
3) Steering wheel quick release (More troublesome for them to drive off the car)
4) 'Shaved' door key hole (harder to pick the lock, although the pro can do it via the unlocking bar for old car like ours)
5) Professional Alarm system installation (not just throw the alarm unit under the dash..) with 2 way alarm, ignition lock, fuel pump lock. (two way alarm can alert you, if can force open if within distance. Iginition and fuel lock makes it longer to start car)
6) Avoid attracting attention (Rev loud loud, etc)
7) Remove whatever defi, apexi meters u have
8) Change dash board to grey colour type, so they may perceive it as non EG6 ;p

May want to consider GPS tracker.

All this will not guarantee that your car will not be stolen, it will make it less attractive. And if they do decide to strike, hope it take longer for them to do it, so that u MAY be back in time.

Yeah, that's the one.

The car is ok, except for the door seals, have to change it due to wear & tear. Any recommended workshop to go to?

Another problem is rev RPM to ard 4 - 5k with aircon on, the check engine lights will appear, is this normal?

personally, I would rig the car to EXPLODE if stolen (all safeties in of course)

nb... those people life worthless... make it a point to blow them up... then see whether they want do it anymore or not...

stolen means gone... blow it up - make sure I lost, you die...

(of course this is a joke la... watch Robocop2? or Robocop3? should really have those car security systems man...)
