How many times will you see a Bentley on the road? It sounds like normal right? See closer…

See the number plate of the car here? Only one family across whole Malaysia that can use this number plate, the Royalties. This is one of our King’s car! I bet you won’t see this on the road that much aren’t you? The last time I saw a car with this number plate was a silver Benz I think, on the way back to the palace.

Just a photo that I took on the bus during my trip to KL last weekend.

This is the new three-wheeled Silence PT2 electric car. The car certainly has a flair for the dramatic, as its metallic paint, vivid interior, and overall dashing good looks make it a sight for sore eyes in the fully electric vehicle department. Other than that, this car can reportedly cruise 125 to 250 miles on a single charge, hitting speeds “around 125-miles per hour” along the way.

Imagine $0.60 for every 60 miles…
Imagine zero pollution…
Imagine racecar power …
Imagine owning a Silence…

$0.60 for every 60 miles? That makes us around RM2.20 for 100KM.. Are you kidding me? That’s SUPER CHEAP man! But this car ain’t cheap because it costs $42,000 USD. Convert it and you will actually understand what I meant ain’t cheap. Seriously, it really looks cool!

I just found out about the new 2008 Nissan Skyline GT-R. Its a concept car so we don’t know whether it will be put into production or not. But still, the design are quite “eye-catching” comparing to the previous models. Old news though… Just have a look at the photos~

Damn there are so many problems with my car lately. First its the battery, then I refill the air conditioner gas, now what? My car tire.. I was driving that day and suddenly I’m like sitting on a horse because the whole car just keep on “bouncing”. The steering was shaking “furiously” and I have to drive slow around 60kph just to get the car moving smoothly. The next day I took the car to a tire shop. Found out that one of the front tire bloated~ It was my spare tire.. ( long story but just keep in mind that I’m using an old spare tire on the front left). And so, I have to change the bloated tire. And since all my tires are already burned out, I called my dad to confirm that I’m going to change all those tires.. lol.. To confirm I can claim back the money from him later.. haha..

So the process started. The guys changed all my tires, with new Michelin tires. Cost me RM130 for each of them. I’m so broke. The foreman told me that these tires is better and more quiet compared to normal ones. Hopefully he’s right then.

Then, its the alignment process. As usual, they need to adjust the camber angle, which then cost me a lot for the alignment labor. Sigh.. That’s the first time I saw this kind of equipment to do the alignment. Next, I changed the engine lubricant this afternoon because its way past the due mileage. Now you see how broke I am? That’s why people always says that buying a car is easy, maintaining it is the hardest!

After almost 2 weeks of no starting my car, the car won’t start when I tried to start it after coming back from Teluk Intan. I was so worried about it since I need the car to go to classes. So I asked my coursemate to fetch me to class today. After class, Hanwei came fetch me and we went to search for new battery. Actually the old battery can recharge and reuse but I chose to get a new one. The battery has been used for more than 4 years already and its better to change it. So this is what I got after searching for it.

Costed me RM160 for this. Those maintainance free battery is in the same price range but I chose this because its bigger in size compared to the maintainance free ones. It will cost me RM200+ if I buy those bigger size and maintainance free ones.. crazy.. Hopefully I won’t get any problems again… Broke.. haha..

My friends and I went to Sepang Track for the Japan GT Malaysia last Saturday and Sunday. Don’t want to waste lots of money for the event, we only bought the RM30 tickets which we can only watch the race at a hill far away from the grand stand… zzz

These are the cars parked at the main entrance of the track. Nissan Skyline GTR.. Didn’t even see it racing in the race~

Took a photo at the main entrance..

This is the place where we watch the race.

The grandstand.. quite far from us

Actually, there are a few other race other than the GT race. Integra race, Formula V6 (the photo above), and a lot more. We missed most of it but the main event is the Japan GT race isn’t it?

Post post again..

Here goes the race! 32 racing machines racing in the track~ There are 2 categories which are GT300 and GT500. The sound came out of the cars are really owesome! My ears really can’t stand it when all the cars passed by all together. Enough talking… just look at the photos now.

Sadly, I can’t take a thing using my phone camera. All photos are taken from my friends camera. Not really nice though. He really need to polish more on his camera shooting skills.. hehe..

More photos here..

After the race, we guys went to SODA in Sri Hartamas on Sunday night. Yuan got the invitation to the club for some launching event. Tengku Djan (the one who won the D1 drifting race) launching their own engine lubricant there.. zzz.. boring. But what the hell, its a chance to see how those rich fellas spend their time and money on.. cars.. pubs… The great thing is there is free-flow of beers!! Woo hoo!~ All 4 of us got drunk that night.. stupid.. lol

I went to the KL Motorshow held at PWTC last Monday. I’m lucky that I just need to pay RM5 instead of RM15 because I had my student card with me. Took the lrt to PWTC right after work.. damn tired man! In my opinion, its just a waste of time as the cars are just those you can always see on the road. Not many cars that is really rare or new. But then to see so many cars for only RM5 I think its quite worth it after all.. haha..

This is the car I love the most. Ferrari F430~ Mind that this car is modified with bodykit and rims. That’s why it look so damn nice~!

Isn’t that lovely? lol..

The Mercedes SLR.. Stunning!

Toyota’s Concept car… with a cute showgal~ w00t!!

Toyota F1 car..

There’s a lot more photos in the gallery. Quite boring because all the showgals went back when we got there.. I reached home around 11pm.. damn tiring..

Last Saturday my housemates and I went to watch the D1 Grand Prix Round 2 held at Danga Bay JB. Its a drifting race among the drivers where the two cars will go sideways side by side. When we arrived, they were announcing for the top 16 drivers among 32 drivers that will compete in the drift battle. The rules are simple: 2 cars will race in each battle which consists 2 rounds, where one will start in front while the other will follow behind in the 1st round. Then in 2nd round, the driver which start at behind will start in front. Points will be awarded for the way they drift in the track and total marks for both round will decide who is the winner. If the car behind overtake the car in front, or the car in front made some mistake and turn around during drifting, full marks will be given to the other driver. Clear enough? haha..

I didn’t take any photo as my phone can’t take nice photos at night. The quality really sucks to take photos from where I was standing. I took some photos from the video my friend took from his Video Camera instead. Not really nice though since I took directly from the video.

Toyota AE86 vs Nissan Cefiro.. The Toyota is driven by Tengku Djan, the son of the former Proton’s CEO I guess. He’s in charge of R3, the Race Rally Research team of proton.

Nissan Skyline (left) vs Nissan Cefiro.. The Cefiro spinned and stopped in the middle of the track, ended up Skyline made emergency stop right beside the Cefiro. 10 points awarded to the Skyline! Woot!

Nice drifting by a black Nissan Skyline…

A photo of both cars coming sideways into the big curve..

Toyota AE86 vs Nissan Cefiro. The Nissan Cefiro is the champion in Round 1. Tengku Djan beats him this time.. But his car ran into the posts instead.. haha..

Another Toyota AE86. This car ended up in the finals with Tengku Djan. So 2 Toyota AE86 in the finals!

Final Battle begins!

In the end, Tengku Djan won the round 2 D1 GP champion. Sorry for the blur images. Hopefully I can post up the videos once my housemate finish editing it. No point of describing how the battle goes without the videos though.. haha..

Normally people only spend around RM30 to fix their car’s tyre alignment. For me on the other hand, I always have to spend a lot more for it. Today I went to fix the alignment for my car as the tyres are misaligned. The car is steering to the left while I’m driving on a straight road. And so I went to the shop, asked the workers to check for me. As predicted, the camber had some problem again. As what he said, the positions of the tyres are like this “/ \”, while they are suppose to be straight. Sigh.. I know it’ll cost me a lot after all. Since he need to adjust a lot at the rear there he asked me to install this a strut bar for the rear shaft there. Costs me RM50 for this while I can maybe buy a lot cheaper at Brothers.. lol.. Nah.. I’m already quite fed up about the car alignment long time ago because I had a lot of problems from it. If he really wana earn commision from it just let him as long as he can fix the car.

This is how the strut bar looks like. The function of it? I guess is strengthen the position of the arms~ I don’t know the exact words for it. All I know its good for stablizing the car while cornering, and also good for long journeys as it can prevent the misalignments. I wonder how long can this piece of steel can last anyway..

Just came back from the garage in Tmn U. I went to change my car suspension spring back to the original ones. Just look at the gap now.. so damn ugly~ It was just 3 fingers gap before this. Now I can place my whole palm straight in there lol~ The reason of changing back to the original is because the car is way too bumpy. I can’t even drive over humps safely as the bottom of the car may scratch over the hump. So now I rather have a comfortable ride back then bumping all the way always. At least I can have no worries going over humps right now~ But the gap.. omg.. Just don’t look at it! haha~!
