masterpiece rims is 15" upgrade to 17" is nice PCD is 5 X 120 for offset i m not too sure...

the meet up will be at kallang.. starts from 4.30pm @ $58 bux i think its from taiwan...

Singapore bound masterpiece are only 15" rims(dealer ways of lowering price) whereas other regions are actual spec 16"rims! The offset if i'm correct is 35 or 37. PCD not sure tot is 5x112?

Oh by the way, this month's meetup timing has been brought forward to 2pm same place! Due to F1 la!

Welcome on board clarkewan:)

Your masterpiece is white, huh... Same as mine! :clap:

Your cold start problem is exactly what happened to me within the 1-month time after I bought the car. ???

The engine temp was also hovering ard 90 and sometimes above 90; then the fan would kick in...blah blah blah

One day I had a water leak problem and that nailed my engine... Blown head gasket... :death:

Cold start problem became more frequent and jerkier within a few days time. :'(

The moral of the story: Better have the engine checked by some experienced mechs. Engine spark plug areas may be filled with water; that causes the initial misfires. And that's the sign of blown head gasket.

During the repair process, the mechanics at MBM found out that my fan clutch and water pump were kaput as well (thanks to leon and mike on the tip abt this :thumbsup:). These two things contribute to overheating problem.

They've changed the original thermostat to 71 degrees version from the 89 degrees; now the temp will be somewhat fixed ard 80 degrees no matter how heavy the traffic is.

So far, thank God, the car is doing fine.

Hopefully, your rough start problem is just a fuel damper or idle control valve thingy; that will shrink the cost of repair by 10 times :P

Btw, from which dealer did you buy your car? I hope it's not Hoe Beng... ! :censored:
