[QUOTE="bimmerman, post: 101708, member: 126"] Hey Azman, Yup! You know what they say "There's no replacement for displacement" I would like a 2.8 lump or even beyond 3.0 cos you really can't tell if it's a 2.0 or a 3.0 as it's still a M50 block. Thus road tax no change (hint) For those of you complaining that your car lacks power in a traffic jam, I have good news! Yesterday I was stuck in the federal highway for more than 1 hour and at the end of the jam I floored the throttle and the car unleashed it's full (but puny) 150bhp with a chirp from the rear wheels without hesitation like I experienced before the repairs. I think you guys should think about running 71 degree thermostats in our climate and make sure your fan clutch is in good shape as the auxilary fan only kicks in close to boiling temperature thus useless in a jam. Also bleed bleed and bleed your radiator. Once done you won't experience sluggish performance in traffic jams anymore! Oh yeah!!! :yes!: p/s: I used to have petrol smell in my car in a hot traffic jam but now it's totally gone too. [/QUOTE]
