No AP's..... Not good news man. This article suggests that No AP's means that there will no longer be grey imports of 2nd hand cars anymore. Open AP's will be given to local manufacturers who fulfill export requirements and need APs to import in vehicles to complete their range of offer only. Read more below.

yup i agree that no imported 2nd hand cars is bad news. becos if sold here new, it would mean;
-paying very high price, even for a base model
-u get 100% stock i.e. no goodies in yr car
e.g. Mitsu evo 9, almost 300K yet no sunroof, and with stock rims vs 2nd hand import, almost new, but comes with goodies installed, and atleast 50K cheaper.
in other words;
GET THE HELL READY TO BE OPPRESSED! AGAIN.

Guys i found this in the forum a member from Ohio, US. got engine replaced, quoted:
" all stock, no mods
changed oil every 5000 miles
most of the mileage is highway mileage
2 recalls performed: suspension arm and gas tank (heat shield)
check engine light service (they said it was a vacuum issue)
never have used any gas other than premium
never have used any oil other than 5w20
mileage averages between 15-20 mpg
there was no warning for this latest problem...one day it's running fine and then it started stalling. the last time it stalled, i barely got it started."

AP or No AP... just a way to manipulate the facts where and how they can squeeze out from buyers... somewhere, someone has to make the cut... it is a system....
anyway, let see what is coming out later...

I had redline my 6MT 80% on the road as soon as got a chance, except 6th gear. But after blown and took the engine apart, the carbon still thick. So, what can I say?
