Battle Of The Cleanest : Hizam's Evo

Louis CR-X made his debut for being Mr. Clean. So now the next guy inline is Hizam. I have inspected the car myself and yes, you can eat indo-mee on his valve cover. So there you go, all the pix that i took yesterday. Im using my Olympus Miu to take all these pix. So it aint National Geographic Magazine. Arigato.

[its not what branded parts you have in the car that makes the car shines out, its how you arrange the parts, colour codings, neatness and pesonal theme. some ppl may have the nicest toys and the most expensive but they look fugly due to the wrongly mix-match combination of parts]

C-Pillar Bar/Boot Bar

Yes, i fetish about bars in my car. My dream about having the boot bar started since the boys in HT made me bucket-drool and nose-bleed at work. So i started to search for one. I know its impossible to find one but if youre lucky u might get one, 2nd hand that is.

After months of waiting and a lot of patience, i managed to get a 2nd unit from a good friend. It came out from a Honda Civic Ek 2-door. After the long wait and also a good bargain, yes it fell from the skies. I nearly (i think the raya holiday was the ultimatum period) ordered a J'sRacing for RM500 direct from Japan through our local J'sRacing distributor. So be it, its a EK model and mine is a Proton Satria. What the heck? Yes it wont fit but you have to custom fit it.

From my findings, my bar could be from any brand. It can be from J'sRacing, Blood-R (Blood Sports), Sergeant, MAS or M&M Honda. I have yet to get clarification from J's Racing as rumoured said the end holders are not actually black. Im waiting for the results as we speak.

I guessed theres a company in Japan that made for few tuners. Well it doesnt matter as long it function as how it should be. It strengthens the boot portion since my back half is empty.

Brand : J'sRacing
How much brand new : RM500 with sticker (From Japan)
Where to buy : Pentagon, Kuala Lumpur

Mini Mods : Something is better than boring nothing

Walbro Fuel Pump 255L/hr

Ahh, finally i managed to install the Walbro fuel pump 255l/hr. The pathetic part about my Satria is the fuel tank has to drop off from the rear pan and then the fuel pump can be installed. Its not like those honda where u can remove the seats and unscrew the cover. At this moment, im very happy to hear the "whinning" bitching noise from my car. My mechanic thinks im going mad with the mods. My current RX-7 fuel pump is not dead just that i just wanna be sure its not in the process if dying especially when i have only 1 bloody car to go around. I just wanna accomodate my mods since its not going any slower.

How much brand new : RM 480-520, available in most aftermarket racing shops.
Installation time : According to my mech its 2 hours, but since im so lazy to wait, i left the damn car for 2 days. Haha.
Labour charges : Price may vary by tuner shops.
Other similar brands : 044 Bosch and Sard 265.

Final Sepang Drag Battle : Suhaimi's Vtec Turbo Civic

Suhaimi finally unleased his vtec-turbo beast. This is his first time entering the Drag Battle.

Very beautifully done. Expected power between 450-550whp at between 2.2-2.5bar boost.

VTEC Night Cruise in Kota Kinabalu

Well the boys decided to go night cruising around Kota Kinabalu city. It was really fun. Eventho everybody had their minor wear and tear problems but it didnt stop everyone from engaging vtec all the way.

The Xtreme Nights 10-11 November 2006

http://www.thextremenights.com/home-1st.asp

Sometimes i think either they purposely do it or some bad planning. Saturday is the FINAL DRAG BATTLE which is on the 11th. So that means i have to go to Xtreme Nights on Friday itself.

Daily Driven Mr. Clean

Louis is a childhood friend of mine that has a hygienic obsession when it comes to engine bay cleanliness. He drives the car daily to work, rain or shine. He drives a converted EF-7 CR-X with EF-8 exterior and DA-6 engine. He has Mugen side skirts and rear bumper. The spoiler is some unknown brand but looks good to me. No Mugen front bumper sadly to say.

I have given Hizam a 10/10 when it comes to car-keeping but Louis is a 11/10 person. He has been spending so much time on Honda-Tech and looks like this JDM thingy has influenced him the right way. Its good when you have some guidance to modify your car cosmetically. Some people just really have bad taste seriously. They just do not know what to mix and match. I will give Louis prolly another year for his cosmetic completion. Budget and lack of parts is always the key factors. Sometimes when you feel lonely, the Ah-Beng syndrome will get into you and you start to put allot of rubbish in the car.

New 5Zigen 4-2-1 EK9 VS Used Integra Type-R 4-2-1

My brother bought the brand new 5Zigen extractor for around RM1600. Hand carried back from Ireland. The used ITR extractor was bought in SS-Racing earlier this year for RM350 with used sensor. The exhaust gasket is RM120 brand new.

Both extractors came with 2.5" collector. The weight of the 5Zigen is light around 5.5kg. The ITR is as heavy as an elephant.

Both looked the same length and size.

Note : CTR 98-99 and ITR 96-97 are using 4-2-1 extractors. Only 98-99-00 ITR uses 4-1

More Pix

Too Low?

The fact the Tokico Edusa shocks with the RS-R springs made everything low and somehow the humpy road condition doesnt allow safe driving. Instead, we have fitted back the original DA6 shocks with Eibach Prokit.

Problem : RS-R springs too soft

Quick & cheap solution : Change everything

Lesson to be learned : Pay more and get coilovers

Rims : Before (Black Racing) & After (5Zigen)

I think this should be the best so far in Malaysia. They have helicopter and ground team to track down your stolen cars. They have packages for certain car insurance policies.

Tawau Drag : Lost Control

DAILY EXPRESS NEWS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A near tragedy at Tawau motor race Tawau: The two-day Third Tawau Motor Club Sports (TMCS) carnival at the old airport here was nearly marred by tragedy Sunday when one of the racing cars taking part skidded and crashed into a Civil Defence Corp (JPA3) ambulance.
Fortunately the 32-year-old driver and four female personnel on duty in the ambulance escaped without critical injury in the 11am incident, which resulted in cancellation of the subsequent last three races.

The driver, Ung Heng Wha, sustained broken ribs following the impact of the incident while the four others - Sapardiana Garto, Norhayati Kassim, Aishah Anjung and Halija Ali - aged between 24 and 40 sustained minor injuries.

Ung was said to have lost control of the wheel as his Toyota was reaching the finishing line and crashed into the ambulance parked on the right grassy side of the track.

An organising committee member, Mohd Iqbal Haji Khalid, believed Ung would have managed to regain control of the car if he had stepped on the brake, instead of continue to accelerate.
District Police Chief ACP Haji Idris Jikon ordered a halt to the remaining three other races but the closing ceremony for the other events proceeded because there were winners.

Rural Development Assistant Minister Datuk Tawfiq Abu Bakar Titingan officiated the closing ceremony. District Police Traffic and Public Order Chief DSP Teh Cheng San said they are still investigating into the crash.

Samco Hoses

I received my Samco hoses this morning around 10:25am. Again, thanks Andrew.

Bazaar-ing Eyes

The good thing about Ramadhan month is you dont have to think what to eat for dinner like you always do - that is if you dont cook at home, instead u can choose from varieties of yummilicous food, cakes, drinks and whatever-you-call-it at a 100m stretch of bazaar.

Counter-Strike

After many years of not playing counter-strike, me and the night goblins decided to play at the new cybercafe nearby our usual hangout spot. Damn. Big bloody screen and loud speakers. I didnt want to play since i know i get nausea of not playing CS for many many years. So i decided to give it a try. With the carnage, bad team planning, flashbangs, vulgarism shooting everywhere, it was hell of a fun. It should be fun if there are at least 8 people to make 2 teams. Lesser than that would be good to wank only.

Distance Vs Friendship

I recently gotten to know and also bloody comprehend the meaning between "distance" and "friendship".

Distance : n 1: the property created by the space between two objects or points.
Friendship : n : the state of being friends.

I never thought ppl would actually be calculative when it comes in meeting best friends. Yeah hell yeah, last time i had friends that bring coins for supper (the best part when the purse opens, the coins dropped like golds from heaven..CHinG cHIng CHinG) and drives a bloody super sports car. "What the fuck?", i said. Oh yeah, oh yeah dun we all know who that is ay?

As for my past recollection, during my college days, there was this dude that carries a tiny mini-dying-grand-nanny zipper purse that u can only put less than 5 dollars of coins. Thats another big fucked up dude i have as a friend. Thrifty is cool, scrooge people should be blacklisted and be thrown into the volcanoes. Die you muthafucka!Die!

Back to the topic, yeah, since day 1 i know what are the VALUES of having good friendship and the QUALITY of having them. At the end of the day, good or bad, you still have your best friends around ya for you to tell your problems, have a weekend barbeque and help ya at 5am when u have a flat tyre OR even send you to your bloody own grave.

Im just crocodile pissed about "few" close friends that decided to blame DISTANCE and TOLL as factors of not having some good-ol gathering. I never thought of being calculative when meeting friends when it is NOT a burden to do so. You dont have to oblige to do so. Just say "Yes" or "No". "Busy" or "Free". Communicate and tell others. BUT, just dont badmouth and say bad about it. Its just bloody bad karma. Even monkeys swim, hunt and hangout together.

Fucken donut.

They Say Heaven Look Like This....I Take Apple Green SPG

The Wishlist

I have a mini-wish list and its so mini that i dont think i wanna put it on the side bar of my blog as a reminder.

• OAKLEY "Juliet" X-metal/Black Iridium [ http://oakley.com/o/o1274d]
• iPod Nano Black [http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/]
• J's Racing Boot Bar [http://www.jsracing.co.jp/js3/index.asp?xMODE=SHOP&xSW=3&xNO=PBS-O3]
• TAKATA Harness [http://www.takataracingproducts.com/]
• SUREFIRE G2 Nitrolon [http://www.surefire.com/]
• SONY Closed Headphone [http://www.sony.com.my/sonystyle/large/mdr-cd380_large.jpg]

Thats all i can think of at the moment. Theres nothing more unless im greedy and keep buying the same thing or brand over and over again. All available in Malaysia except for the damn bloody bar.

Anodizing VS Powder-Coating

I reckoned ppl get mixed up between these definitions especially when it comes to rim painting. Its not just normal spraying whereby you can copy whatever that looks like in the magazine or internet. You may see some rims have anodize tip like SSR Type-X and powder-coating rims like Volks Racing TE-37.

Powder-Coating
http://www.finishing.com/Library/pennisi/powder.html

Anodizing
http://www.focuser.com/anodize.html

So you are actually paying for the quality of the produced rims rather than just buying the rim for looks. The good thing is you can restore your oldschool rims and make wonders out of it.

Proton Putra FOR SALE

My buddy's Putra is for sale. You can either buy the car or just the aftermarket parts alone. His Putra is in pristine condition. Literally, you can eat indo-mee on the engine itself. A lot of money has been wasted and he has all the reasons on his blog for you to read. The rest of the infos are technical. Contact Andrew for more details.
