Modding....Again!

Just gotta have those big 'buluh' muffler on my ride.....yes.....in case you're wondering, I just couldn't repent myself from changing my exhaust system to a more menacing looks - yeah, I actually prefer the looks more than the sound - but you just have to accept the fact that good looking muffler will set you back with big noise too, read : ATTRACTING SUMMONSES..... Well, who said car-modding is law-abiding by the way? Scared of summons, no need to mod loh!

*And I'm not gonna tell what type/brand of muffler I'm changing - judge/guess it yourself*

Up she goes.....the mechanic inspects the stock exhaust setup.....

Down goes the stock 2.5" piping.....looks heavy? Damn I was quite surprised the piping weighs only a mere 7 kg! Damn those JDM stuff are really high in quality.....

Now, see that two bulges along the pipe? That's the utmost reason I'm changing my pipe to a straight one, on the left is the catalytic converter, while normal bullet on the right.....rule of thumb for a turbo engine reliability (not to mention power increase) - no unnecessary restriction!

And the stock muffler.....also surprised me - it only weighs less than 4 kg! And just take a look at the size! 2.5" inlet and outlet.....

The 4WD driveshaft.....3 joints altogether.....I wonder if there's carbon material for these? :P

So.....done a bit of everything.....2.5" straight stainless white piping.....

Notice the 4.5" rainbow colour tip.....notice the mechanic only wore a RayBan glasses while doing the welds..... :P

Tadaa...!

Yea yeaaa.....I know.....Gonna be more careful and trying to avoid all those 'hotspots' where the law enforcers loved to setup blocks.....

And....What's this? Nah, surely it's not my engine. The pics I took is from the workshop's garage - their drag project car.....not gonna spill so much info about this, just take a look at the massive intake plenum to accomodate the air fed from an Apexi RX6 turbo unit, and the Bosch dual coil unit - seen this for the first time.......

Was wondering too - aren't there any non-car related stuff to be posted? Stay tuned for the next stuff. >_<

It's Been A While....

LAZY. Huarggghhhh!

Will update again, but don't put too much of a hope - recently have to take care loads of stuff. So just enjoy some pics below, and owh - feel free to comment too.

Now riding on 18" shoes - and lowered springs only (Tanabe NF210) - Those TEIN coilovers would set me back at RM3800 without shipping - so I guess this could just do at the moment.

Current engine bay - some add-ons such as genuine Samco silicone hoses & vacuum hoses, HKS SQV, and err....TRD(?) emblem.... :P Note that the air filter setup is still in stock condition...kuikuikui....

Interior....genuine Apexi TT with black casing and blue color digit show (limited edition nihh)

Not forgetting, new engine oil for that rejuvenated feeling! (well, could actually hear my engine breaths smoothly now :P, NOT)

A race sourced engine M-oil coupled with....a top end oil filter! The brand is Power Mag, and it has magnets inside it to trap all those metal particles to prevent long-term engine damage....konon nya lah! (sorry for the blurry image :P)

More stuff on this late afternoon! >_<

Jeng jeng jeng!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally....got what I've worked/dreamt/imagined all this while.....my efforts are all being paid back...I have got a new ride!!!!!!

Well, I'll let those pics do the talking.

Just have to settle with Sarikei's plate.....but will change it to Miri's plate once it reaches QMQ....kehkehkeh

And owh, done something to my ride already. Will update accordingly, just be patient. >_<

Another...modification....

Nahh...not really a new mods, but fairly a simple swap over from my -soon to be gone- ride's shoes to my wife's ride....hehehe.....did this on my own, and really blown away my calories, that's under the hot sun on 2pm for like 2.5 hours!

New shoes....err...kinda odd lerr....

The rear.....

Got reflection image of me taking pic with my wife.....her expression was a bit of skeptical....with the new looks of my -soon to be gone- ride.....

And just "why?" would you ask? Cos the old shoes has been transferred to my wife's ride.....well, after thinking hard about it, at last I decided to save the shoes rather than letting it go together with my car.....well somehow it just looks quite...."wild" I would say....

Well, the front overhang looks a bit taller, I admit it's because of stock spring and absorber, but in the near future will change to lowered spring....rather than using adjustable coilovers, I think I'll pass on that this time considering it's my wife's ride - so I think no need to be too drastic on the mods.....kehkehkeh....(don't want to sacrifice the ride comfort for now)

Looks from the rear.....the rims really show its massive size!

As I was staring at my -soon to be gone- ride, I realized more that how a basic mods to a car can either easily ruin or improve the looks of a car. Mind you, most of the car modder wannabes that I've seen were either having too much money, or too much creativity.....still I advice any car modders out there, work your a** up and go afford a set of nice rims (preferably a minimum of 17 inch) first, before you even thought of putting on any bodykits!!

End of the day, wide smile on her lovely face there.....huhuhuhu.....

Till then. >_<

I'm Doomed...

It's getting on my nerves on these few days - trying to update my blog as well as coping up with daily rants, all those work and stuff - you know....and couldn't help thinking hard about what's going to happen in this few days. I've been waiting for 'the day' and it seems like end of this week will be the dateline of everything that I've hoped for...well, not going to spill it anytime soon - rather than getting excited, I'm kinda nervous actually - which I shouldn't have.

By the way, getting me a new mobile again last week - my EX-gadget that I've sold-off to a junior colleague of mine. Well, some of you might think that I'm kinda crazy/stupid of changing mobiles like every time I got bored with my previous mobile, but you know - I'm kinda have this hobby of changing mobile (assuming it's an expensive hobby).....and now my previous one is being kept in its box......should I say awaiting for a potential buyer who literally could afford it? >_<

My new....(once I had this - the one with silver casing and blue lining on its side) Now buying this again, this time the latest version with all matte black case with chrome lining at the side.....as I find it's kinda hard to type sms with my previous mobile.....cos it has a touch screen feature.....

Comparing these two....in term of price....hmmm.....

My previous mobile....guess what....Samsung Omnia with Windows Mobile 6.1.....it has 16GB of internal memory, not to mention another 4GB microSD that I've thrown in to make it a total of nearly 20GB on this wonder candybar.....and owh, it has a 624MHz Marvell PXA312 processor....err I mean.....it's really one hell of a fast browsing gadget....but....

It really annoyed me when I wanted to type sms!! That's when I was on my steering....so I really think it just has to go.....you know.....in its boxes where it should belong.....sorry chap, but those Erics still does more wonders than you, Sammy.....so how Omnia you might be, I'll just.....probably stick to Erics.....sorry Sammy, once again.....

Well to top it off, you Sammy - is still the most expensive model of all the mobiles that I've ever bought before....you must be proud of the compliment, eh? >_<

Some more.....mods! (minor)

This afternoon took my wife's ride for some make-ups....the car accessories shop's name is Tiong Brothers - pretty much the only car accessories shop that I can fully trust in Bintulu. Lots of aftermarket engine modification stuff, not to mention genuine Lightning Audio, Rockford Fosgate and Alpine stuff and the most important criteria that I'm fond of - friendly shop owner and neat installation. I mean, their worker knows what they are doing - though the price to me is normal (well, you get what you pay for) but maybe some people might find it steep....and owh - they even have genuine 3M tint installation - costs a bomb by the way - the premium one costs around Rm3K.

So....here goes....minor mods such as Extra Cool tints all round the car....

View from the side.....



And change the plate number punya font.....

And not forgetting the floor carpet too. Didn't managed to take photos though, and all that costs me RM520 which I think is quite reasonable...And.........

After all that.....of course....take it for a bath!

Front view.....

Isn't she gorgeous? Next plan: will change her shoes, but maybe will take a while la - since anytime soon I'm expecting something big coming, to change my "2nd wife"......

This is my current "2nd wife"...just never fails me all this while....she still shines like no tomorrow and damn those shoes just looks nice on her!

But you know...something has got to go....things and time does change - and so our financial situation, be it better or worse....for me, it's getting much better for me, so - it's really time for me to have something better to be my 2nd wife....I'm gonna miss this one.....

>_<

Bought something for my.....

PSP! Well, I couldn't resist this....after all the *craps* stuff that I've bought for my PSP, finally I dare say that this is the ultimate gear for my PSP! It acts as sound enhancer for my PSP, at the same time protects it....mind you it has built-in rubber protector inside the casing, but the only downside is that it requires 4 AAA batteries to operate (not that I mind so much though)....but in return what you get are 2 very important functions in a package of one....hehehehehe....the sound is so rich! Can actually hear the bass thumping when playing music....just imagine playing God Of War game.....kehkehkehkeh...

2 speakers.....

Open sesame.....

Using 4 AAA batteries to operate....

Fits nicely & perfectly....I'm lovin' it!

>_<

Ahhhh....new ride pokk!!

Yea...yea...I know...but it's kinda lazy to update anything for the past few days....nothing much just that went back to Miri to spend my offdays there....and guess what....my wife has got herself a new ride!! Yay!! Just what I had in mind, I'm pretty much sure she's gonna get this car.....well.....still has few hundred mileage on the odometer, so we both decided to drive this car again back to Miri this weekend, at the same time attending/celebrating the All Souls' Day.

There she is....Iridescent White....

Looks nice ehh? Actually this is the last unit available being sold by EON Bintulu, and next batches of Neo won't be produced in this colour anymore....so quite lucky to be able to obtain these one ehh?


Something has to be done on this ride.....I just know it!!!

Well, will keep updating on these one! >_<

Counting days...

Now it's getting more 'tiring' waiting for the day - well not gonna spill it now though, afterall I myself not sure of what's coming up in this next few days. Sounds lame but then - this is going to be my most anticipated event that I'm waiting for....hehehe....will update again if there's any news coming by.

Hmm....triggers anything in mind?

Kind off.....

Lazy lerr....never knew that it's sooo tiring (maybe mentally) to update my blog....ahh...maybe this stuff is still quite new for me, so I guess I'll just finger-off here.

And owh, by the way...God willing, maybe will drive something else/new - maybe end of this month.

My current ride....sob sob....gonna miss you soon....be good to your new owner ok~!

There she poses again...

Things - they just change - likewise our feelings too. Life goes on by the way. >_<

Ahhhhh.......at last..

Well, here it goes. Never thought of doing this, but heck; just have that little urge in my heart that needs me to voice out my inner self to whoever may read these - albeit I could say it's nothing more than a daily rants, how I wish these blog could record/write by itself as some things/matters in my life keeps on arising and goes down as the day passes by.

Now it may sound lame, but I believe I could make the best out of whatever events that will happen as I ventures into my second quarter of a century of my life; really hope my age could reach those golden years.

Ahhh......wish life could be just simpler and just. Chapters of my life just got wayyy thicker and you know what - I'm loving every bits of it.
