Where have I been?




Been quite busy lately with school works. The car has been behaving well so far. Starts everytime. The first photo is where I always have my "Ayam Penyet". So far it's the best I ever eaten. The second photo is taken tonight when I watched Star Wars. Nice movie. As can be seen I took the chance of taking my car and my friend's. Mine is lowered as it appears and I've added wheel spacers/ adapters to push out the oem wheels out a lil' bit. Nice eh?

Car died again

Car died again last saturday. Brought it to the workshop and get the dignostic code. Problem with Ignition Signal Output. Bought a new Ignitor unit from Happy Motoring for $460. Plug and play and the car is alive again. Too soon to say anything. Will be monitoring the performance of the car this week.

DIY Brake Reservoir




I had found my brake reservoir having spiderweb (cracking). No leak yet but as precautionary approach I purchase these Spoon socks to cover them from sunlight.

Wheel adapter






I have custom made adapters for the front and rear to push the wheels so that they sit flush to the fenders. These are not ordinary wheel spacers as they come with their own hub to support the wheels rather than sitting on the wheel studs. Advantage of this is added track width for look as well as lowered center of gravity.


The front adapters are 25mm thick as can be seen on top. Rear are 35mm. Front cost me about $350 a pair and rear $560. Still they are cheaper than getting new wheels and you can still keep the oem wheels.


As can be seen is the Mazda 808 classic car. The owner didn't want to sell the car even when I offered to buy it from him.

Stranded



The damn car cannot start today. Classic case of Main Relay. My flux capacitor decided to take a rest today just when the day is good. The car had to be towed. I'll try to check if Happy Motor have the relay tomorrow.

Movie: Batman (Dark Knight)

The movie is true to it's title. Another classic movie. Just imagine Silence of the Lamb but put it into bigger proportion. Intense. I think this time Joker stole the limelight. No wonder he is Batman's arc enemy. Great performance from the late Heath Ledger. Also not known on the movie was the appearance of the Batgirl to be (Gordon's daughter). I will be watching the movie again for the second time. I tell you it's that good.
