Radiator swap

It was not a very good last Sunday, it was drizzling, raining, sunny and rain again. So, I had to stop, swap, stop and swap again. It has taken a lot of my time waiting for the rain to stop. Arghh...

Drain all remaining water in theradiator tank, quite dirty...

Took out the radiator, pots of Sabah Snake Grass...

Koyorad is much thicker than ARC radiator tank

Corroded radiator hose

Cleaned using power hose, much cleaner now.

New HIRO clips, size 19mm - 45mm.

Completed the swap, I also changed the 200mm filter replacement.

Many asked, when are you going to repaint your car? To be honest, I got no answer. That's pathetic being a perfectionist.

At least let me give a little update. I've started the car end of 2016, the battery 'konged' and I've changed with a not so new NS40 battery. I've also replaced the old BMW battery with a newer set of BMW cable, hahaha.

Going to replace the clutch pump to a bigger ones.

The plan now is to fix the bodykit of the car and respray it. Here's the cost breakdown and timeline:

I'm going to start March 2017 : Need to unscrew the 2 damaged screw to dismantle the front fenders. To install the J-Speed fender bars as well. Then, install TRUTH wide fenders.

2nd week March : Install rear bonnet & replace rear lamps. ~ MYR 500

3rd week March : Install rear TRUTH wide fenders & CRUISE skirt. ~ MYR 150

1st week April : Front wind screen CE9A & Fujitsubo Exhaust ~ MYR 500

2nd week April : Side mirror & door visor ~ MYR 500

3rd week April : CE9A spoiler

TRUTH Wide Over Fenders

Finally got a set of TRUTH fenders, original from Japan. Yes, we have copied items here but still prefer the original Japan quality. My friend, MAUI traded this set of wide over fenders plus top-up with my CRUISE full bodykit. Considering he's a buyer yang 'kental', I agreed.

Changing back to OEM lamps and sold my grey CRUISE kit :(

Bell Of H.I.D Kit

Installed a set of Bell Of H.I.D kit, bought it from Din BFG for MYR 350, or 250? I've forgotten. It took me about 2~3 hours of work, it's a good upgrade. It comes with both Hi and Lo beam. Whenever you switch to Hi beam, it will have a 'tak' sound, quite interesting. The H.I.D should be around 7000k lumens.

Yes, it's made in Japan!
