So I’d got my car and as the tyres were almost bald and seriously hardened, I got those changed first thing as a priority. After that came time for the first major service, this is an important thing to do when you buy a second hand car – even if it has a ‘full service [...]

As you’d know if you’d read my blog for some time, I’m quite a petrolhead – I love cars, racing, motorsports and anything related. One car I’ve always admired is the Vios, for the price you pay you get a hell of a lot of motor vehicle! The good news for Vios fans is that [...]

And no, it wasn’t in my dreams! I’ve always been a huge lover of Aston Martin, a proper homegrown British luxury car marque. Although it’s debatable if Aston is still really British or not (partially Kuwaiti owned now). The actual car I fell in love with was the Aston Martin Virage Volante convertible. Anyway a [...]

A few Sundays ago a bunch of us headed down to Sunway to do some dyno runs with a friend of ours who was doing some dyno tuning on his Evo 6.5 Tommi Makinen Edition (still considered one of the most powerful evos ever made). I was gonna do some dyno tuning too, but due [...]

Recently Malaysia underwent some changes in it’s fuel structure (you may have noticed the whole RON95, RON97 thing) since September 1st they also finally changed the diesel fuel quality to something decent – Euro 2M.

Dry, slightly overcast and nice and warm, really good weather for banging those corners. We met up in the afternoon and grabbed some [...]

I gave a little sneak peak of the Road Trip to Hat Yai when I got back, now is time for the full run-down! We met up at Sg. Buloh rest stop at 12.30am on Friday night, some people were late though so we ended up leaving a little after 1am. We might quite a [...]

Just a quick update, still pretty tired from the drive there and the drive back. Was a great weekend though, plenty of awesome food, did some shopping and got to test out the car properly. Will do more updates on Project Airtrek soon, my only observation right now though is my car HATES RON95 petrol…I [...]

Choosing tyres for your car is a very important thing, for most people (who care about their safety) the two MOST important parts of a car are the tyres and the brakes. Because together those two components are totally responsible for keeping you on the road and coming safely to a stop. A lot of [...]

I’ve been wanting to change car for a long time, but due to saving for something else and financial commitments it really wasn’t a smart thing to do. So I had to bite my tongue, suck it up and carry on. Not that I minded my previous car, the best Proton ever made, the Lotus [...]
