Meraban Dalam Terang

Do it Yourself

Familiar with this expression? Yip, do it yourself. And it covers a slay of things right from changing your blown out bulb, making your own air filter, and even making a simple diesel remote control air craft! One thing remains true with 'do it yourself' is personal satisfaction.. Nothing beats a neat project been done with your own bare hands. Even if its just a mundane task :)

Right now I'm experimenting with the car's air filter and spark plug. After the healthy discussion with katak, edi and vdread from Snc guys at Bk last two nights..it dawned me that what they said was true indeed. Sejauh mana air filter ngn spark plug ni menyumbang kepada performance kereta? N berbaloi ke?
Therefore right now I try to experiment with ape2 benda je yg masuk dalam kepala otak aku nih..harap2 tak rosak la kete aku digodam oleh seorang yg TAK bertauliah dlm bidang kete2 nih! Huhu

Seperti dijanjikan, post pasal rim sukan Neo aku. Setelah 6 bulan pakai kasut lama.. aku rasa dah sampai masa utk tukar kasut die, kesian die. AlhamduLillah FAMA pn sponsor sikit..so tercapailah impian!

Few days ago, installing plate holder/number



Qusha, name neo aku [sempena name adik aku Qaishara] sdg masok dock dkt Race..ade duit lebeh, so aku tukar lh plate ngn plate holder skali.

Tgok2 sebelah, cis cube teka ape??



Huhu!



Ape2pn, ke-esokkan harinye, ade satu insiden jdik kat kereta aku..malas nak crite panjang, tp tgh2 highway tayar aku adeke gi pecah. Tersadai lah aku seperti kapal yang dah habis arang kt tepi highway NKVE sambil menunggu pertolongan dari PLUS. Cut story short, lepas decide sejam due ngn parents..kitorg pn buat satu deal utk tukar tayar ngn rim skaligus. Of cos la diorg sapot aku sikit..tp aku pn keluar jugk duit.segan weh kalau diorg nak tanggung semua. Aku pn janji kat diri seniri nak bayar blk bila dah dp duit bila2 nnti..hu

Stibe nye di kedai rim tu, ding dong ding dong. kitorg tgok katalog. Ade satu ni aku berkenan giler! Jadik tawkey tuh bawak kitorg gih kt storage Yokohama kt glenmarie.. Situ bnyk siott rim lawo2. Kalau aku nih spupu Sultan Brunei dah lama aku jadikan tmpt tu tmpt bookmark akuh! huhu. Malangnye aku sedar aku kat bumi nyata, so terpaksa la check harge 100 kali sblom beli...



Ding dong lagi pasal harga, pasal diskaun. Aku pn opt utk amek rim Advanti racing 17' ni. Harge? Bolehlaa..at least yg ni la yg agak2 ok sket rege die berbanding rim2 lain yg kat atas shelve tu. Dlm perjalanan balik tu, perasaan aku bercampur baur. Excited? Bersalah? Pening? Haha last2 aku redho jer... hati aku berbisik, kalau beli barang baru nak pening2 bek tkyh beli! So aku maintain cool walaupun hati senarnye gundah gile.cmne la aku nak bayor balek ni..bersalah lgpn gune duet mak bapak bnyk2 cmtuh time krisis ekonomi cenggini.huhuhuh

Argh. Melodramatik pulak..next!







Hasil end result die?



fuh. at the end of the day.. a lot of money went down the drain. But I'm happy! at least I treated my beloved car something,,in turn please give me a nice ride key Qusha?

Mlm daytona tuh, faris n uncle idan ada bg tips kat aku cmne nak kurg kan fuel consumption.. Maunye idak, aku asyik duk merungut je kt diri seniri, apekehe bnyk telan minyak neo aku neh? Rupe2nye it's all about your right foot... Lalu dgn azam baru dan keinginan bekobar-kobar, aku terus memacu neo berkuasa kuda aku neh ke stesen Esso di TTDI dan terus isi penuh, kawtim 40 Litre!

Perjalanan balik tuh, aku bawak punyela slow..hehe kaki kanan aku cubekan sedaye upaya jdik ringan, walaupun isipadu lemak peha aku mmg tinggi.huhuh.bila balik rumah, alangkah tersengihnye aku bile tgok ni



Edit: Ni bkn gambo lps isi minyk tu, sebab mase aku isi tuh tk bwk handphone.

Dulu aku pernah drive sampai Fc tu jdi 11.0+. Sekarang 5.9 [bawak cam ciput la]. So lebih kurang kire2 40% la skrg fc die nak banding dulu... and it's all achieved by just altering the driving habit. Baru aku sedar betapa pentingnye kawal pedal minyak supaya dpt menjimatkan minyk sebnyk mungkin huhuhuh

Aku rasa kene tulih psl rim sukan tu dlm next post jer. hew2. Maleh nak upload pictures bnyk2. Anywy have you seen the gift that Azrai and I bought for adan during his depature to Aussie last two weeks? It's not very expensive, but both of us think it was just nice for adan. Guess what? A lighter! Hehe. Girlfriend die marah kitorg belikan lighter kt die... Yela cam galakkan plak rokok si adan yg dh mmg perokok tegar tu. But guys know better, kan adan.heheheh So accept this picture as a parting gift for this entry. Tak kena langsung ngn tajuk title post! But I promise to write about rim sukan in the next post.



Siap engrave name rizwan kamil tu... Kalau kau tak terharu jugk adan, xtaw nak kate ape!

To be continued,,

Korang suke lagu2 lama tak? Aku suka. Bagi aku lagu2 retro melayu ni, zaman 80an, 90an memang tkde tolok bandingnye dari segi kualiti, mesej ngn penghayatan! Antare band2 kegemaran aku, Wings. Iklim. Alleycats. Zabadjad. Lagu2 diorg neh mmg sedap di dengr, layan p layan. Huhu.,.
Kalau korang berminat nak dgr2 lagu cmni, cari la frekuensi 96.7 Sinar Fm. whaha jgn takut.. anda bukan menjadi semakin tua. cuma anda ingin mendengr lagu2 yg menusuk kalbu aje ;D

Ape nak tulis ni . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Haha spam jgn tak spam. bengong aku nih, spam blog seniri.

Tadi aku pegi ke Anis Sup Utara yg baru bukak dkt TTDI, Shah Alam. Thumbs up! The food outlet was spacious and well designed. Org pn boleh tahan. Suasana meriah n ceria. Cuma tadi kecewa jugk la coz order Sup Ekor dh habis.. order air jush buah pn habis.. Tp its understandable, coz we went there almost 1 hour to go from the closing hours.

Apesal aku nak tulis thread ni? Well, mse tgh lepak2 borak2 td, sorg kwn aku nih kate

"weh jkidoo, blog kau skrg nih dah tukar jd blog jual kereta ngn spare parts kereta eh?haha"

Adoi. Bila terdengr baru aku tersedar,, mmg betul jugk ape die ckp. Tgokla last posts aku kebanyakkan pasal kereta jek. haha. tp adekah readers semuanye berminat ngn kereta? Care presentation aku pn aku tgok layu semacam. . .
Takpela, tunggu le seminggu due k. aku pn ade mende jugk neh nak buat ngn blog ni hehe. nantikan,,,

Aduhai. Visitors approaching 0 @ 'telor ayam.' Writing Mood is going downhill, and laziness is taking over me. Haih! In order to start the positive mood back rolling, here is a short entry on the basic goals of my 130HP project :)

a) Applying the concept of "butterfly valve". Reason: To control directly the sound produced by the muffler.

b) Getting all the elements in ignition done. That spells mods on the coils and ignition firing system! Reason: Bigger/better ignition or firing sparks must be good. Imagine an evo4 firing mechanism!

c) Eyeing on adjustable suspensions. This would cost time to save some moolah since suspension is among the few things that Im not willing to skim money on it. Safety dulu weyy!

d) Tu je kot

Can't wait for the dyno session after all this has been done! [except c) of course which doesnt improve horsepower or torque at all] Tu je la kot..moge2 tecapai hasrat ku ini huhu

130 HP Project!

Hiatus, hiatus. 

Ape maknanye? This hints my blog had been into a short inactivity for a while, dont you think so? Hehe dont worry.  Will update with lots of stuff! 

   I am currently selling 2 of my items now, one is a used Wai Heng's bassy muffler, and one is a brand new 10.0mm RAM Quadcore Cable Plugs! I have posted two threads on Snc.com,  http://www.satrianeoclub.com/index.php?topic=8321.0 [muffler] and http://www.satrianeoclub.com/index.php?topic=8247.0 [cable plugs]. But hey its prosperous for the business to post the ads on this blog too! :P 

Muffler 

   Wai Heng's Muffler. Recommended, honestly. The sound is full and bassy, and I almost missed (rindu) the sound already if not due to org tua ku x suke bunyi2 kereta nih. Anyway the other reason for me letting this muffler go was purchasing Crazykatak's bassini muffler few days back. Bassini is hard to find in market nowdays, and the truth is due2 pn aku syg! But unfortunately, one has to go.... :(

   The fat and round tip gives an outstanding bassy sound. I dont know about others, but personally I really like the sound [the only drawback I can honestly say was that during long journey @ highways, the prolonged bassy sound will induce fatique..tu je] Those from Snc.com will get a free mitsubishi plate holder upon purchase.

More pictures.

10.0mm RAM Quadcore Cable Plugs

Item: 10.0mm RAM Hi-Performance Silicone Ignition Leads
Condition: Totally new, not even yet used. 
Reason for selling: Testing another brand's cable. In need of cash, thus there is little point in having 2 sets of cables at one time.
Method: COD in Shah Alam or Subang jaya areas
Price: Rm 140.00 (nego)

   I'm selling this quadcore Ram because already currently testing the Pro Rallye cable plugs. The original price when I bought it was Rm180.00, but since it had been lying around in my room for many2 weeks already, I'm willing to nego the price down until...well pm me! Hehe :) Nak let go frozen stock quikly...got a new project in mind. B.U.M.P for these two items!

Adan, a.k.a rizwan kamil @ unterr (ngeh3) is going to Aussie this saturday tu further his studies in..hurm.lupe ah! Hahah bt its degree in finance/accounting I guess. So we did a small dinner reception at Seoul Gardens, near Bkt Pantai KL to show our affections and simply wey, bla la cpt personally to him :p The food was superb, as it has always been with Seoul Gardens (previously it was Seoul Bulgogi)...the only qualms that we had was that the drinks are way too expensive! But itsokay lh.lenkali kitorg teguk sup jek whahah

One very wise guy said that a picture speaks one thousand words. So above are the pictures of tonite's event! 

Kdg2 stress wo duduk kt area kawasan perumahan yg konon-kononnye dihuni ole golongan berada. Why? Cuz pe'el org2 spesis cmni lain mcm sikit..kalau bahase melayu org kate 'perasan bagus', atau translation inggeris die wadehek je. 

Kejadian Pertama

Malam new year haritu, aku ngn kwn2 nantikan detik countdown dkt pondok @ taman permainan. Kereta aku nih phm2 la, aritu tukar exhaust system, so bunyi agak bising cket la. N bila gathering ngn kwn2 lame se-sekolah dulu yang masing2 mmg dh terdahulu masuk air, mestila happy and ceria mira. Alangkah tekejut beruk monyos nye kitorg apabila tibe2 guard yg jage kwsn area rmh kat sane tu dtg, n bitau ade jiran buat complaint! 

"Ade org/geng tgh bergaduh dkt padang"

"Ade satu kereta turbo dok racing ke sana mari"

Adoyai! Se-ingt aku bunyi kete aku bising cket pun mase nak reverse and masuk parking je..dah mmg kene main minyak n clutch. Xkan bunyi gelak ketawa = org tgh bergaduh? Wadui. Sungguh2 aku x paham ngnn gelagat diorg ni... Lgpn sekalipun kitorg ter-over dlm bising, give and take la brother. New year ma. Neighbours main bunga api masa malam chinese new year/raya aidilfitri, kitorg rilek je? Taknak bising, gali kubur duk dalam tu diam2 la. Yang komplen tu pn aku rasa dh baya2 bapak/mak aku dah. X kompromi@matured@hidup kejiranan betul 

Kejadian kedua

Dkt surau bkt jelutong nih.. jalan dpn skolah die ade satu part dlm 40-60m tuh lampu die out. Satu part je, drprd satu jalan yang cukup panjang. Pstu de la sorg perempuan ni lintas jalan ngn anak2 die kot. Apekone?? Sepanjang jalan tu boleh die pilih tmpt yg tkde lampu nak lintas! Ape salahnye die jalan 3-4 tapak n pg ke jalan yg tiang lampu tu masih function..pstu bile aku se-akan akan lmbt slow down (aku brake awal jugak, cmne kalau kena driver lain yg mungkin tgh tgok kirin/kanan?) ade ke die buat bunyik cm sergah/tengking aku, konon2 marah gile la. Haih. Sabar jela, dugaan. Ape2 p aku bersyukur kerana at least aku bg perhatian kt jalan mase tu. Kalau tak sia2 je, coz slow2 mane pn jalan tu still jalan utama. Kereta mesti akan laju jugk. Xkan nak bawak 5km/sejam? Penat tol terpakse meraban cmni..tp apekan daya. Gua cukup fed-up ngn neighbours2 yg mcm ni!!

It's 2.18 a.m and I still cant sleep. Sleeping on time nowadays is becoming a rather very difficult art for me to execute, let alone sleeping early. Man, I hate it, because bile je bangun pagi2 (ke tgh hari?) keesokan harinye akan rse sengal2 and sakit2 badan. Lemah pn ade. Adoyai

I am currently wasting my time hearing songs on my radio, lawat2 website/blog org, and pandang siling tgok cicak seberang.hahaha. Eniwey, gile doh. Finals is speeding up pretty fast on us, with less than 4 months to clock. Lepas tu cuti 2 bulan! But the question is, can we pass and avoid failing? Now that is a question that needs to be solved by a degree of studying in principle, not by typing listlessly on blogspot. Huhu [pure2 study]. Haha argh cukup dah merapu. 

Tkde benda nak buat td, so aku saje2 la open chessbase. adui. baru tersedar. rupenye dah lama aku tinggalkan chess ni... bila tengok balik semua game score..rse keinginan utk kembali serius dlm catur mula membuak-buak balik! Huhu. N aku bersyukur sebb terlintas nak bukak td, coz now I think I'm slightly hooked back into chess :) 

Was closing down the blog for a few days sebab nak tukar template sket2. Penampilan baru di tahun baru la katekan cewah hehe. Anywy I chose a very minimalistic design since it gives much wider room to manouvre, and not to mention soothing to the eyes too. Hurmm tu jelah kot. Papehal roger di laen post okeh :)
