Carbon Fibre Hood..

Posted in Random on May 31st, 2005

Suddenly felt like posting this =P Yep, i finally got my carbon fibre hood. Actually i got this hood a few weeks ago just in time before the Pro-Hatch Hypertune Photoshoot . This hood is more to cosmestics purposes but some ppl told me that since the bonnet is lighter, i could corner better cause the front part of my car is lighter thus giving me less understeer -_-” Oh well, as long as it looks nice on my car then i’m fine with it =P Pic? here it is !

Yeah, you can’t really see it in that pic but that’s the only pic i’ve got for the moment =P

Hmmm, well today is my last day of work in Auto Bavaria and i’m finally free ! Having mixed feelings about it. A bit of sadness cause throughout my 3 months there, it was really fun and of course i learned a lot of knowledge from the mechanics there and of course happy cause my training has finally ended and also the amount of cars i get to see there that we rarely get to see on the road. Too bad for the timespan of 3 months there, i’ve yet to see a M5 in there =\. How fast time flies. It feels like yesterday was my first day of training and today, it has ended. Hahah. I’ll be back there tomorrow anyway to get some stuff signed.

Remember my post about the Proton ad? Yea, i just saw it again in the newspaper just now. Today, it’s an indian lady cleaner lifting up the front cover of the car and it reveals the front headlights. This time the lady says “Aisay-man! This car is sooo much nicer..” Pretty obvious eh? if you compare it to what i said in my previous post. Proton can’t take the competition and they have to resort to this kinda ad? hahah =)

*edit*
Found out a few minutes ago that Proton has renamed the Sassy to Savvy due to some bad comments from the public. Hahah, i wonder what name will they think of next for the Satria Replacement Model?
*edit*

To future Myvi owners or enthusiasts, there’s a new forum for you created by [url=http://www.paultan.org]Paul[/url]. It’s [url=http://www.peroduamyvi.com]here[/url]! Have fun =)

Anyway, i’ll update more soon :)

Nice car !

Hmmm, had a glimpse of the new Myvi on Thursday. Didn’t get a chance to see the car up close cause there was no parking at the Perodua branch in Glenmarie and the freaking road was so jammed up thanks to everyone rushing to check the car out during their work lunch hour (hey, i used my lunch hour to check the car too =P).

Did anyone see the Proton ad on the newspapers? I think it’s damn stupid. It’s like, today the car is all covered up then the next day, someone lifts up the cover then the rear light is revealed, then the guy says “Phew, luckily i didn’t order the other new car” or something like that. I mean, it’s like damn obvious they’re talking about the Myvi right? -_-” Although most of us are driving a Proton ourselves, we know that their new cars comes with a lot of problems right? Well, you can’t deny that =) IMHO, only their pre-2000 productions are at least still driveable with only some minor problems.

Only 2 more days of work ! but now, i don’t really feel like leaving the place. =P When i was working there, i really felt a little weird cause me and my friends are around the age of 20, and we’re mixing around with the mechanics whose in their late 20s and some even are already in their 40s and to see that we can really talk like our age range are around the same really makes me feel a bit weird sometimes, hahaha. Throughout the 3 months i’ve been working there, i kinda got a feel of how the working life is like. Yeah, you might make lots of friends and in front of you, they might be your friend but behind? they’ll backstab you like crazy. Actually this only happens to those staffs whose attitude is like shit. =P Hahah, anyway i think i’ve typed enough, not like anyone reads my blog anymore. =P

Perodua Myvi ! Proton Sassy?

Posted in Random on May 25th, 2005

Perodua Myvi is gonna be launched tonight at 9pm nationwide ! Found out about the news this afternoon. To me the car looks not too bad, not THAT underpowered, and paired with 16″ rims and a matching bodykit, the car will be a killer.It won’t be too long till we see a Perodua Myvi running a YRV turbo engine underneath since it won’t be much of a hassle transplanting the engine. The only bad point is that the YRV halfcut is freaking expensive =P

And about the Tiara Replacement Model, Proton Sassy? WTF kinda name is that? -_-” Powered by a 1.2 engine, i don’t think it’s any better than the current Proton Tiara anyway. Hahahah. 4 more days of work and i’m free !

Pics anyone?

the owner added a supercharger kit himself. I wonder how much is that gonna cost? =\

Anyway, just about one week plus to go then i’ll be free again ! Heheh, can’t wait man. Time really flies, in the blink of an eye, 3 months passed. =)

New house !

Posted in Random on May 5th, 2005

Yep, i’ve currently moved to another house for at least 3 months. The previous house will undergo a major renovation which starts next week. It’s also my last month training in Auto Bavaria. Then i’ll be free ! Will blog more after that =P
