Sprint booster


Anyone interest in it? It costs $2500. Cannot increase power but and make the throttle response much more sensitive. Especially suitable for those who upgrade the rims to 18 or 19 which make the car seems hesitate to accelerate.

Kelvin, they are not dried up yet.

Cnt and kelvin, either we can:

1. you touch up the chip first (needs 24 hrs to dry) then we can do the lanka at the meet (please bring an old cotton T-shirt, we can't use regular towels, we need the cloth to have a completely flat surface)

2. You guys bring a small container and I will give some to you guys.

From my own experience, I have applied touch up and let Langka dried for 8 hours. But I found that the touch up paint dissolved original paint and make it appeared as a tear-drop. Luckily, that marking disappeared after expose the car to sunlgight for few days.

Hence, my suggestion are:
1) Try to appy it as a blob which involved as small area as possible.
2) Let it dry for only 1 to 2 hrs and use the eliminator to swab the excess paint away
3) Repeat the above steps if all the paint was swabbed and let Langka dry for longer time

When I used it the first time. It wasn't quite working. I touched up the car and let it dry for 2-3 hrs but the Lanka will remove all the touch up paint. Then I e-mail Lanka and the president told me to leave the touch up paint on the car longer (ie. 24hrs) because he said European cars' touch up takes longer to dry

yes, body kits
actually i have paid deposit. but treated by the mod shop. they told me they have stock but when i drive the car there, they just show me some of them, and said the rest is on the way. i left the car at their shop, After 3 days(the due date) i called them and they told me the manufacturer send them the wrong parts, should wait for another 3 weeks now...... (their eyes will not blind when lie )
they have now just finished the side skirt for my car, but the very bad thing is....................the side skirt color not match with the body

(I wouldn't tell u guys which brand now until u see it in person but i think it should wait until HK8 meet for the whole kit........ )

PS. the mod shop is Smart-Auto, actually their sales is not that bad, their lie make sense but u will know

Good luck with manging this tough vendor.
If you need an truly ugly face to show them, count me in , I am good at making a hard time and being real nasty to bad service man. I can assure they won't be able to eat their meals for three days if they see my ugly face.
