Greetings from Malaysia

[SimplyRed]

Hi Fellas,
I am from Kuala Lumpur... Got my Colt Ralliart '05 about a year back and there's not alot of 'em running around. Maybe I can get some information from you lots here...

[GavinTan]

Welcome Simply Red post up some pictures! I'm from PJ, Malaysia too but working and residing in Melbourne. Unfortunately I don't own the Ralliart version, I've got the Colt VRX but I hope to get my Evo X in a year or so. I'm planning a month trip back to M'sia for end of year holidays and hopefully I'll be able to get lots of cheaper parts to bring it back here.

Hey Gavin... I got nothing much to show actually... :( Car still looking stock. I am just wondering u have any ideas where I can get body kits. Maybe a website... They don't have anything here in M'sia. That's why I am asking around. :D

[GavinTan]

Unfortunately here in Australia it's hell expensive for it. In Malaysia I'm quite sure you can get people to custom the bodykit for you at a much cheaper price. If really want the exact same Ralliart bodykit you can order it straight from Japan. It's still not cheap...I checked to get the front grille it's close to A$500 that would equate to RM1500!!

Custom Fiberglass breaks easily... I would rather get the orginal ones...

Hi there! Glad to know there's a Malaysian Colt owner on board!

I've decided to get an '05 next year if there's no CVR in sight. Maybe we can roll together sometime when i get mine?

Anyway, I agree with your opinion on fiberglass kits. My satria is in shambles within 2 months of installing the bumper and skirts (that's what you get for loaning your car to relatives :rolleyes:). So yeah, go polyurethane!

Damn if only I can drive my Colt over the ocean back to Msia and cruise with you guys at the end of the year.

Kusa... I think they won't be bring colts in anytime soon. the importers learnt their lesson. the turbo and n.a are totally sold and the distributors are no longer bringing in. Colts in 2nd hand market are rare bcos of the RM30K immediate loss. I hope you will be able to get one. All the best!!!

Sure hope i can get one before they run out. naza's asking for RM120k for an '05 but i've seen on motortrader going for RM96-99k.

Naza... don't carry any warranty, that's the problem and the only person in that know's the car inside out is in USF-Hicom. I had problems with Amazing Tempo (the importer) once. So, becareful who u are getting ur car from. As for motortrader, is new or 2nd hand?

[GavinTan]

Gee...is it the tax or is Naza just charging too much for the car? You're talking about the Colt Ralliart or the NA Colt?

[SimplyRed]

The Turbo cost about 125K after discount and the NA cost about 89K after discount. Before that they cost 30K extra. It's not Naza, it's the tax...CBU. Funny... cos I don't believe tat Naza brought the car in.
