Potong Conman

The Potong Saga was due for 1000km service. Infact is was way overdue. Anyway, IT IS compulsury to include X-1R Engine Treatment and Magnetrap (it sounded like the DIY magnet on the filter to trap the residue to me)

It's like when you drive in to petrol station, and you are required to pump V-power because your car is new, and there isn't a choice for you to retain the warranty given.

In relation to image above, as i was trying to hang my clothes (obviously so that it'll look presentable and not crumple), i found out that there are missing passenger support, both sides (left/right). Talking about budget cars, they might as well as exclude all doors or make it dashboard-less to save cost the next round.

Cheap Car, Cheap Standard

The protruding plastic part of the car seat hurt my leg. And, for going in & out of the car for 3 times, it's already bruised. This came in factory fitting. So i can rant all i want. Any idea what car is this?
And seriously, who's the clever ass designer that decides to put BRIGHT BLUE STRIKING bulbs/interface for the meter? And who the hell sign the damn paper?
Try to drive the car at night, and all you see was blue lights. It is sooooo distracting that even if you dont look at the damn meter, its poking your eyes like a knife.

But anyway, the car is cheap, and it's not mine. I just thought that i could do a better job at these. I'd cry if i owe this car.

Malfunctions/Problem spotted on first day of driving.

1. Noise when clutch pressed half way. (Release/full clutch in is ok)
2. Buzzing sound as if i'm in a karaoke room, where the mic intefere's with the speakers
3. Blower air-cond switch that
a. cannot be moved freely as if there's spring holding it
b. functionless. No matter where it points, it still blow straight to your face.

GRA Round 3 2007

September 9, 2007, Shah Alam

Grass Racing Autocross Championship Round 3

The fellow friends who scratch the bumper & hit the curbs. Officially Curb Climber Club Member
Gone rime & a shaky bumper

My 2nd driver who is 3 seconds faster than me, in my own car.

2 podiums. 1 & 3 & fastest women. Earlier result actually shows that we got 2nd & 4th placing, damn bengang cos of him i have no podium. Some situation that i can change. So the next day we were informed that there were some mistakes with the results. The 1st placing guy was actually 10 secs more than what it annouced. So yeah. Our names all went up a spot.
Mat Rempits filled the empty car park when our event ends.

MAM Roadshow, Batu Kawan, Penang

MAM's 2nd Road Show held at Stadium Batu Kawan, Pulau Pinang on 11th August 2007 (Saturday) at 6.00p.m. in conjunction with 'Program Sukan Malam' organised by the Ministry of Youth & Sports, Malaysia. There will be lots of activities including Autosprint Competition for cars. MAM stands for Motorsports Association Malaysia or you may log on to http://www.mam.org.my/

Few GRA members went to support the roadshow, there's few of us driving up all the way from KL.

This is probably my slowest drive ever. 80km/h all the way, started my journey about 10am, i've reach the island about 3pm. Half way in the R&R, my tyres became so rubberised that it looked it it just came out from Sepang.

Arrived at Stadium about 6pm, and darn there's a HUGE car park without curbs in between. Nice! But it's too sandy. By 7.30pm we've registered and got our comp number. The scrutt was kinda complete because they checks that all covers are tighten.
By 9pm we're starting our practise runs. So everyone rush to the line to get their turn. Some skipped, it was chaos as there isnt any proper instructions. Not long after, the practice run was held up because the spectators are standing too near to the circuit. After about hundred annoucement being made, the RELA guys are forcing them to step back. Seriously, i think they didn't understand, or the spectators didn't even know it's about them.

The practise run takes forever and, finally at 10.45pm, they are stopping all practise runs. My time did not appear in the sheet, but my 2nd driver have 3 names on the practise run time.
By 12am, there's no annoucement on when it's the start of the first timed run. There's nothing. Until 12.30am. 7 packed and preparing to go home. Left 3 of us, Charlene, Unker Champ and me. I went back to hotel after my first run. Only Unker Champ stayed after that. It ended around 2.30am, and finally the result is out. At 4.30am.

This is a completely waste of time, petrol, my tyres, everything. And the circuit, it's too sandy, the car is out of control everywhere. I wasn't going too fast either. I'm 10 secs behind unker champ.

Darn.

GTI Outlook

Someone reminded me that i actually have a blog. Yeah. Thanks Jesly. I stumbled upon your blog yesterday and i saw my link there.

Anyway, if i would like an update there will be few pages long, so let's skip that.

Saw the Hyundai Accent GTI Merdeka version. Gosh. What are they up to? Can a Hyundai transform itself to a Golf GTI? I mean, transforming the outlook itself to look like a Golf GTI it's not enough. They dun name their GTI for the sake of naming it.

And what's with the Suicide Door Accent? Soon we'll see the wannabes start sticking on the back of my boot because they are all so fast.

Karting Day

Been a while since i sat on that small cute mini no gear 4 wheelers.

Also found out that on every sunday there's a legal mat-rempit gathering showing off their superman and 1 wheelie skills.

It's kinda scary though especially there's like hundreds of kapcai in that area. [It's shah alam btw]

On average, my working hours has gone up to 12 hours. I've lost my social life, i've lost my time to enjoy a good weekend. If i did prolly will end up having troubles on my ass.

Hmm.. Interesting job, never felt so anxious facing with work and i definitely look.. depressed. Actually some of our colleagues too. And the bosses as well.

Oh, and i'm gonna be away next week for business trip. I wonder if i can actually walk the singkapoh with my heels whole day or not.

Happy Bufday To Me

Well, many who knows i hated cake. Because i have cakes every month, sometimes 2 per month.
So hehe my dear colleagues opt for KFC (YES!!!!) yum yum.

This year i probably got what i really wanted (all the while)
Let's check it out.
That's a Be@rbrick, a sandal that prolly will end up on my mum's leg. She love those. A bolster, and the sleepy cat. hmm.
Oh i like this fridge magnet photo frame too. Got 6 'cheap-coaster-that-you-can-find-in-any-pub' from Guiness, with some inspirational phrase on it. Came with discount voucher too, but no, i'm not really a stout drinker.
Much long awaited. I loved this shit.
This one came a day late. Specially wrapped with army prints.

WTF!

ok i have to say this. I was in a meeting half an hour ago, and suddenly my phone ring.

Me: ok. Which Steven?

Me: (WTF!!) Har drag no la aiyo can u call me back 2 hours later ah, i'm in the meeting la.
S: Aiya 2 hours so long ah. Ok ok.
Me: (tuut..tuut..tuut..tuut)

Ish.. Seriously, is this kind of 'stranger' invitation is common? I dunno this Steven.

ok my next question. What car? How much the bet this time?

I'm Back!

yee haw!!!i'm back!with new template new color and new images.After being absent for more than 2 weeks, there's so much to say.But i'll do it. 1 by 1.

Let's start with GRA. What exactly it is. It's somesort of carpark rally where you got to set your fastest time trying not to touch those -ice cream- cones in the process. Frankly, at once i agree to join after persuasion from Ken & Paul, well i was a little bit tipsy, balls got bigger (literally) and my entrace fees are covered.

And to cut the story short, there's a TEST RUN and 4 TIMED RUNs in the whole session.
During my first test run i was nervous as hell when i'm in the line ready to take the route. Then somehow, after that, i was craving for it. Finally got to get my gloves back to work, and try to dirty KY's helmet with my dandruff, if any. Tee hee.

Oh, and the best part is, i did my best time during the third run, after i had half a bottle of Hoegaarden.
I think i need to drink more. Result was expected. I wasn't last (yay!) but i'm not in top 10 as well.

And now that i got the hang of it, and was lucky enough (i hope) to get a year of engine oil sponsorship, can't wait for the next round to come.

So, any bloggers wanna advertise their URL?

Autoworld GRA Report[autoworld.com.my]
(check out some of the silly pictures of me)

[What is GRA?] www.grassracingautosports.com

This Grassroot thing is no longer a pleasure but a pressure. Most probably. Sigh.
I loan a full face from KY in hope that no one will recognise me. At least not before the run or anything.

But meeting more enthusiasts was really excellent especially Mr Julian & YSKhong himself.
Maybe i'll post the 'million dollar' picture with Mr Khong putting up the stickers for me. Hehe.

Till then adios, should be sleeping early tonight. And.. no sex. Yes, you heard me right. The fun should be concerntrated on tomorrow's event. Will keep posted on how many cones i managed to kill tomorrow.

Parking Drama

So i was at bsc for 11 hours and i spent 17.60 for parking alone. Wtf and having 15 only in my pocket i head to the atm.unable to cash money. Tiu lor this time so bad luck meh. So i walk around, panicking at the same looking for guards asking for another atm location, in hope there's more than 1. And he walk me to the atm. Maybe canny ong did did something good. The guard is so helpful. Stupid enough i cash notes of 50. Now, autopay machine dun accept 50. So i've got break the cash. Talk about parking drama, here you go.

Series of Unfortunate Events

Now.. looks like i'm a jinx to my beloved car.
First clamp, then window broken. And now this.


Well, lucky that i'm just 100 meters away from my mech. Now running on 2 diff brand semi slicks till my Trampio 888 in stock. :(
This silverstone is burned.

(*Oh btw, loved my new phone. Now can blog on the go... muhahahahhar)

Test

Testing new cybershot with blogging capability. Take a guess of the model.

180 poorer

broken glass and a 180 poorer.

No this is not a theft act.

S300

Pls mind me for not blogging. Been busy with drinking schedules, and that's not even including Mr Paul & Mr. KY.

ok Let's see.

I shall leave all technical terms behind, but i like the launch control feature. No need messy wires and switch.

Bad thing is S300 is using B18C type of ECU (size). Hard to fit in the ECU compartment though.

Sleeper Mode - On.

I can go MV parking woah!

I can go up to G & H zone woah!! (if i'm alone in the car)

But only can use reverse parking.. and cannot opt for those parkings with 'pole' in the middle.
Actually i was trying to park like normal, head in first. Then lucky i went down and go survey first. My lips gonna scratch that *yellow-bar-that-protect-your-car-from-falling- down-the-building*

so i have to drive back out, and reverse in. Consequences of lowered with 15 inchers.

Oh ya, and Cars was nice. Only some part where it's getting a little bit boring. If you haven't watch, go check out the end credit scenes. Best!
