Morning wash!!

Spent the morning washing the car, looks clean as a whistle.

Shameless advertising, lol!!

Motorsport Playground

So yeah, I decided to decorate my ride with a mustard yellow stripe with the help of Motorsport Playground. I thought of having my spoiler to be wrapped on with sticker since there's scratches, but then dad said its best to repaint the spoiler and the bonnet. Oh well, that's a few years from now. No rush.

And to anyone who plans to do stickers for their ride, I suggest you go there early in the after noon. I was there at 5:30 p.m and only after 4 hours I managed to get back home.

Some top secret project. Me, Tzong Sheng and his friend were the lucky ones that managed to get a first glimpse on it. The owner of that GTR is the man in blue long sleeve shirt.

So the owner allowed us to get into the GTR and have a look around. And the Nissan GTR is a fine example that cars can look and feel frickin' sexy in the inside too. Bose sound system, GPS screen, Japanese words on buttons to have that Japanese film. The problem is, tall people will find it hard to drive this beast comfortably.

This GTR is the Premium Edition, not the V-Spec version. That would cost a close to RM 1mil instead of RM 490k. The owner told me that having a white colored car is hard to maintaining it clean. Zoom in to the above pic and spot the amount of dust on the rear bumper.

Shoutout to Remus for helping me picking the best colors for the strip and some helpful advice. I wouldn't mind traveling all the way to Sunway again. So basically if you have any designs you wanna do for your car, you can drop him a wall post on their Facebook page.

A long day at the Playground, but damn, it was fun =)

Inspira Inspiring Ke?

Sometimes I feel like Proton seriously needs inspiring designers and work force that is motivated. Sigh, its a sad sight to see our once beloved national pride, PROTON going downhill.

I hate it when they introduced the Iswara special edition. Its the same design, only changes were the crystal lights, an exhaust system and a multi spoke sport rim. Same goes for the Waja, after 10 years, just minor facelifts. Also for the Perdana, 10 years plus and they have still yet to find a replacement model.

Tun Dr. Mathathir, what happened?!

27 years....

Proton Inspira, not even inspiring at all. Proton and Mitsubishi signed an agreement saying that Proton had bought the blueprint for Lancer and will rebadge it to sell it here for a cheaper price.

If the R3 version of the Proton Inspira comes out......I send my condolences to the current Evo X owners =S

Ride Getting New Shoes

As you know my Toyota Vios' OEM rims has been scratched quite badly. Its so heartbreaking to see your rims got tortured by Kuala Lumpur city roads. So I decided to ask my dad permission to change the rims, since he's the one that got me the car and is paying for me. And surprisingly, he said ok =D

So now I'm thinking, should I stick with 15 inch with a new set of 195/50/15 possibly Goodyear tires, or go to 16 inch 205/45/16 or heck, 17 inch? And again, it depends on how much I managed to save until the year end.

As for the rims, I thought of getting Lenso rims. Made in Thailand, I Google-d them and read about them being better than Taiwan made brands. I need a lightweight rims, needs to be 4 hole, PCD 100 and offset +42.

Just right after the rims, again I'm gonna save and change the front grill to this

*picture credits to Kaitenaz Racing, Sunway*

And so this is the exterior look I'm aiming for, excluding the TOM's front skirt.


Once I'm done installing both rims and grill, I'm done. Seriously done.

That's One Distracting Circus Tent

I've seen alot of modified Proton Wajas on the road, maybe too many of them. Heck, its so common sometimes you might mistaken them for a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7 from far.

Yesterday was on the way to college, while looking at my right side mirror, this Proton Waja or Wajalution X caught my attention. And from that moment onwards, it has been every driver within 50 meters' distraction.

The rear of the Wajalution X is so ugly, the front is to graphic to be shown.

Really? Evolution X? The paint job was an eye sore to everyone who looked at it. The rims, goodness me swap with my rims, my ride even with that red rims looked a heck lot better. And the emblem, we're not that dumb to fall for that bro.

Until now, I cannot understand, why majority of Malaysian tuners have such good taste in modifying the outlook of their rides'?

Myvi Passo/Boon does it better =D

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV Rally & BMW M3 Modded

I remember exactly 10 years ago, mum and I was at Jusco Malacca. Usually I would head down to the toys section on the first floor. That time I didn't even know what is a Lancer Evolution, heck I don't even know that car model at that time.

What caught my attention of this car is the design. Sure the Skyline and the RX7 was the bomb, but the Lancer Evolution 4's design just naturally caught my attention without trying hard at all.

I bought the Evo IV, Tomica made. And the number one thing I regretted in my years of collecting die-cast car models is not taking care of them. I dropped the Evo, scratched the Evo, messed up the stickers and so on. And just yesterday when I found where was it, I feel shit.

The scratch marks, rim chrome gone off, colors slowly fading away..........I feel bad.

Now I'm looking for people who can help me do restoration works on this Evo. Any of you have contacts please tell them about me =)

I know, AutoArt is known for their detailed car models at a high price.
I got this BMW M3 for RM 50. With detailed engine bay, cockpit and with the speakers at the rear seats, neons lights and headlights, detailed disc brakes.

Last time Toys R' Us rocks, now it sucked so bad. You shouldn't overlook Toy City, they do have good car models on sale.
And for RM 50, you save around 90% of what you might have spent on an AutoArt model.

Goodbye Honda City?

Parents took the Honda City to church and on the way back home the belt has some problems and was making weird noise. They had to pull on the side of the road and called AAM to check the car. I was sick on Sunday, and already told dad to use the Vios since it has not been driven for days already. Can't blame my parents for being used to the City, preferred the City and enjoyed the City more than the new one.

Then on that Sunday afternoon, she gave a sign that she's getting old already.

While on the way back to Malacca, mum told me the Honda has been giving alot of problems lately and dad said might need to sell off and get a smaller car for mum. Oh yeah, dad prefer motorcycles than cars, so a small car for mum to run errands and go back Malacca to visit grandma is also a good thing.

A small car would save parking space. For the past 6 months whenever I drive out the City, its hard to park the car inside of the car porch or reverse out.

I bet a Kia Picanto or a Kelisa would do the trick, but mum not in favour of Malaysian cars, and dad and I doubt spare parts and service for Korean cars are cheap and reliable.

If not....a Mini Cooper? Maybe mum is too tall or too short for that cute lil' car, and maintaining it would burn a huge hole in dad's pocket.

Forget about Chevrolet Aveo.

If the City has to be sold, I'm gonna miss alot about this car.

The side-mirrors. Even need woodsticks to support it XD

The 13 inch rims.

This car was my first to drive illegally without license, first to drive after getting a license, first to drive to school, first to speed on a highway, first to get summons from DBKL for parking at the yellow line. First to blast out my music from my playlist. Not to forget my first accident while finding Sports Planet XD (cost me RM 200)

She has served my family for a good long 13 years already, if she was to be sold off I hope the next owner would take good care of her. Quality wise, she's a hell lot better than the current plastic cars XD Full tank can last for a week, engine is still running smooth.

Satria GTi Remembered.

Remember this car kids? Its a Proton Satria GTi

(From Wikipedia.com)

The Satria Sports GTi was launched with a 138 bhp (103 kW) 1.8-litre Mitsubishi-sourced 4G93p engine, originally found in the Mitsubishi Lancer GSR but minus the turbo and upped the compression to compensate for the power loss.

This model was later evolved by Lotus Engineering, the Satria GTi's engine and handling was later tuned and revised, delivering 141 brake horsepower (105 kW) at the wheels. It has a Top speed 204kmph.

During the involvement of Lotus,a new body kit was also adopted for the GTi for better aerodynamics. In the UK this limited edition vehicle wears a Lotus Engineering badge below the Proton Satria GTi badge. Proton claims that the Satria GTi was their fastest car it has ever produced to date.

Anyone who owns or have a friend/relative driving this car? I would like to have a ride in this car = )

Our Rides.......Pimped!!

I'm happy with my ride's look. Bigger Toyota OEM Enkei 5 spoke rims (20 inch) and a new TRD mesh grille =)

Kyle got rid of his lousy 14 inch rims, and upgraded his Myvi SE's shoe to 17 inch =)

We fly mothafacka XD

Cahaya Auto a bunch of cocks

After the Tesco trip, dad decided to take me to the nearest car dealer, the one next to Caltex at Taman Segar. I forgot what is the name of the car dealer but I found the salesperson put an ad at Mudah.com.my trying to sell a S Spec Toyota Vios. So here's the pictures from the website.




Millage is 23k+ and the next service change is 30k+. There was a small little dent due to opening the car door and it made contact with the car parked next to it. Mum was asking me why of all colours black?

"So that you don't wanna wash the car issit?" LOL!!!

Anyway the price was RM 75000 after negotiating with the salesperson, RM 73K, but the interest rate is 3.88% :(

Dad told me to go look around at other car dealers and who knows we might get cheaper price. For those who know where I stay, Cahaya Autos is located just behind my house, so why not go there and check? I mean, I'm sure they are good because they always advertise at Motor Trader with 2 pages (bad idea to think like that)

So I walked all the way to Cahaya Autos, part of the YB Group which is one of Malaysia's largest import and local car dealers in Malaysia. They have a few branches around Malaysia.

Now what I'm about to reveal to you about the true colours of Cahaya Autos, Cheras may shock you all.

I walked into their lot, and to my surprise, non of the salesperson care to layan me. Damn it, just because I wear shorts and slippers doesn't mean you can judge a person's attire whether he customer of a foreign worker (yes, I was mistaken as a foreigner by a policemen while walking back from Leisure Mall a few months ago. No joke.) Bugger, just because I look like a blur blur small boy doesn't mean I am not your future customer for God's sake.

So anyway, I walked to the nearest worker, a Chinese middle-aged looking man. I spoke to him in English (Yes, I do that because I expect a car salesperson to know at least how to communicate bilingually or more than 2 languages to add to his/her advantages), facka don't understand a word I am saying.

Me : Erm, excuse me is that Toyota Vios S Spec parked outside for sell?
Worker : Hah?
Me : Is that car, Toyota Vios, parked outside for sale?
Worker : *yells at another salesperson, a young man to attend to me*

You arse, next time just tell me nicely to attend to that salesperson since you don't understand ENGLISH.

Me : Excuse me, do you speak English or Mandarin?
Young Salesperson : Both also no problem.
Me : Ok (thank goodness!!) I would like to enquire about the Toyota Vios, the black one S Spec parked outside, you guys selling it right?
Young Salesperson : Yes yes yes we're selling it, hold on a second. *calls another bloke to attend to me*

What you bloody sod?! You think I wasting your time issit?

A Malay salesperson attended to me and took me to view the car. He introduced himself, named Zaki

Me : What year is this?
Zaki : Oh this one 2007.

o.O?! 2007? I don't remember Toyota Malaysia comming out a S Spec for Vios in 2007

Me : Ok......how much is it?
Zaki : RM 69,000

O.o?! RM 69,000 you must be kidding me, unless this car got accident before.

Then out of the sudden, Zaki asked me whether I wanna look at the other Vios models. And before I can give my answer, he took me for tiring leg-torturing tour.

He introduced me to a 2006 green Vios with rims. I told you, I'm only interested in that S Spec Vios. He then showed me a grey 2004 E Spec Vios. I told you, I'm only interested in that S Spec Vios. Then we both continued walking. Halfway walking he walked into his office and took a document without informing me. Gosh I would feel like an idiot if I continue walking like a blur case. At least I get to look around the cars that were available in the lot. A few Aston Martins, a Maserati, a few Porches, a few John Cooper Minis and quite alot of Beemers and Mercs. And alot of Protons lying around dying to get a owner. I saw this ugly looking Proton Gen 2, rear lights with the owner trying so hard to change it to look like the current Lancer rear lights. Stickers with a Mitsubishi word on it. Identity crisis lah this car owner.

Anyway, after Zaki took the documents, we then walked all the way back to the car that I wanted to enquire. There was something fishy with that Vios.

1) Millage is 59k+ but the service sticker (the one pasted on your front windscreen top right corner) stated next change is 58K+. Hmmm....
2) Car was so dirty. Well, not dirty dirty, just that there were mud stains on the bumper and some sand stuck too. I managed to clean it off.
3) I asked Zaki about the millage and why is it exceeding the supposed millage change, he told me he'll settle for me and put a new sticker. Hello?! One of the most important aspect in maintaining the car in good condition is to check the millage. You want my engine to break down in the middle of the road while driving ah?

Salesperson got all the car information wrong. The car was year 2008, and he told me it was 2007. He then corrected saying its 2008. He told me earlier the price was RM 69K, he then told me it was RM78K.

RM78K!!! Diu, I buy J Spec and mod still cheaper than the E Spec.

He called his boss, after discussing. RM 77k. =.=" He then offer me a free paint job, a new one and a rear skirt. Erm, hello, the skirt is already installed! Paint job? It takes a week to do it. You mean cleaning is it?

After talking, he then gave out his name card and I told him I'm think about it. I walked home, having the feeling like I was ripped off.

Zaki, please get your facts right next time because customers like me will have a bad impression on you. Cahaya Autos, within just 15 minutes of my visit to your location, I can see alot of flaws, plenty of them. Salesperson being cocky and arrogant, not able to communicate well with the customers and also getting car facts wrong.

And one more thing, just because I small boy wearing casually and with slippers doesn't mean I don't look like a customer to you. You motherfucks, don't judge a book by its cover. Just because I'm still new into getting 2nd hand cars doesn't mean you get to push me around. You should be thankful that I didn't yell at you and asking who is suppose to be the salesperson attending me!!

Conclusion, Cahaya Auto is one screwed up car dealer to deal with. I advise you all who's reading this, tell any of your friends who intend to get a used car, do not give business to Cahaya Autos.

Sometimes entry line cars are good too....

Hey guys :D hows the holidays going? While some of you all might be busy with your late night talk cock sessions with your brothers from another mother, working part time, going vacation and some researching on which college should go to further studies and so, I was having my very own first time activity.

No no no, it ain't organizing a $25,000 sex party like Tiger Woods. I'm car hunting. Yes, I'll be going to one car dealer at a time to survey on my first 2nd hand car :D

Dad told me that there isn't the need to rush to get my car, I understand that because he wants to settle my college fees first before getting my car. I know maintaining a car ain't dirt cheap, and its also a huge responsibility for the car owner to maintain it well so that the car's lifespan is not cut short. Petrol fees, servicing fees and if you wanna modify the car, extra fees. Sigh......

Anyway, last week I went to Tesco Extra at Cheras with parents to do some shopping. Dad and I saw that Toyota was having a promotion at the ground floor. Only 2 Toyota models were showcased, a J Spec Vios and a G Spec Rush.

My first impression on the J Spec, the entry line for the car..........

"Pretty ok, sad about the rims. Wheel caps *pifft*.."

Aiya what do you expect, baseline like that loh. No airbag, no steering wheel control for the player, 1-Din CD player, 2 disc and 2 drum brakes, no body moulding, no adjustable seats, urethane steering wheel.

But then I thought......airbags.
Why the hell I need it for? Its not like I'm gonna drive like an ass on the road. Mind you I am a terrible responsible driver kay? :D

No Steering Wheel control?
Hey, if I get the J Spec, I can spend it on aftermarket brand to be better equipped. Oh I hear Pioneer ringing in my head :D

1-DIN CD Player
Like I said, I can always use the leftover cash to change the player and replaced it with an aftermarket brand which has better value-for-money sound quality :D Hmmmm.....Pioneer MP3 player not bad hor :D

Drum brakes
Hmmmm.....one setback :(

No body moulding
.......WTF is that?

Urethane steering wheel
Steering wheel is to control the car, I couldn't bother if it was leather :D

Dad told me buying new car cheaper and less costlier than getting a 2nd hand car. He has a point.
Ok, Toyota UMW is having a promotion for the Vios, which is first year insurance is waved off. Good news for dad. or a RM 1500 off rebate.

Ok, so here's the math if I'm getting the J Spec vios, auto (mind you Malaysian traffic not syok to drive manual transmission cars).

RM 73,OOO+ RM 438 Pioneer 2009 DEH-1150MPH MP3/CD/AUX Player) + custom bodykit (roughly RM 1000) + RM 599 Advan bronze replica 15 inch rims + 195/50/15 Goodyear tyres (RM138 x 5) - RM 400 trade in stock rims and tyres

equals to a shocking ball dropping RM 75327 :D

Beats the crap looking Toyota Vios TRD Sportivo :D Still cheaper than the E-Spec, gosh this makes sense. Drop your thoughts at my chatbox :D

Vios 08 RXT

The most awesome bodykit for the Toyota Vios :D Front bumper cost RM 499 + 190 for painting. Not sure whether which side skirts and rear skirting for the Vios......Tom's or TRD? Any suggestions guys?

New or Old?

I stared at Kent's Vios on Friday parked outside Aladdin..........sometimes makes me wonder...

Maybe the new Vios is better than the old one. Maybe my dad was right, anycar with black paintjob is sexy.


Oh damn......this is hot.

Was on Google searching for bodykits for the older version of the Toyota Vios, and bump into www.rexxstyling.com. I was blown away by the designs. My long search for the perfect bodykit for my dream car has ended.

Here is Rexxstyling.com's own design, pretty damn good. Its called the RX Vios.





RM 1399 for the whole set, how cheap is that?!!

And here's the TRD bodykit for the older version of the Toyota Vios, 2003-2007 model.

RM 650 for the whole set, another RM 220 if I want a TRD spoiler.

Arrrrgghhhh, itching for my own Toyota Vios. I'm tempted alright. Ok, gonna start saving for the bodykit. Can't decide which one to install to my Vios. HEEEELLPPP!!!
