FC3S's Eye is back to normal - Wink Wink ;)

Its been almost half year the eye (headlamp) cant close down due to the passenger's side headlamp mechanism spoiled. I searching around for the mechanism online and call up some famous rotary engine mech to look for the mechanism but ended up they quoted me in a very high and unreasonable price...so i decided to wait again. While im searching in mudah.my, i found a seller is selling a pair of full set headlamp together with the frames and mechanism for FC3S...without hesitate i just called him up and COD with him since his friend is coming back Penang during Hari Raya time.
Its so excited after I COD with him and straight go home to test on it....OMG...the driver side mechanism is working but the other side that I wanted is not working at all !!!
So that i just keep all those thing in my storeroom just in case i need it in the future...since its cheap (I asked before just the halfcut condition mechanism cost RM80 man...)

January 2010, I take out the mechanism and disassembled it and see whas wrong inside...i just saw a relay inside and nothin else...so i suspecting its the relay spoiled.
I ask my friend Allngap whether he know what is the thing or not because hes pro in doing LED stuff. He told me that thing is the relay, and he able to help me up to solder the thing if i able to bought that relay.

So i just go the shop that sell all kind of electrical stuffs (located in the road beside Hong Leong Bank in Jalan Burmah). I show them the sample and they take for me....cost RM2.50 each only !!! so fk cheap man...

Pass the thing to Allngap and he take less than 3days to settled it for me...without any charges, I have to said thanks to him again and much appreciated for his kindness to solve the problem that make me headache for such a long time lolz.

OK....here is what happen today after Allngap passed the headlamp mechanism for me.
I straight put on it after i reached home, oh man...its running damn chill man ~ hehe
At 1st i very excited because the 'eyes' is working so chilling now...who knows...problems coming 1 by 1 from now on...all my signal lights is not functioning !!!
I know that its because of the fuse problem because this same problem occur last week only.
Damn man...I forget that the fuse box cover is writing in Japanese word zzz...I still remember last week the mech told me its the 10A fuse burnt only...so i look for the 10A fuse (red in colour)
oh man...all the red fuse is working fine...headache lar

Luckily this time our friend Yuki Miyasaka is online and available there ~ ha ha ha...kacau him xD
Thanks man...he translated all the Jap word on the fuse box cover, in case i need it in the future =)
From there i found the fuse for signal lights, errr...the mech changed to 15A fuse for me, different colour (blue), no wonder i cant found it lar !
Its 12am now...where can I buy fuse leh...oh ya, curi from my sis's car 1st since every fuse box got spare fuse =þ
I plug in the 10A fuse into the signal lights fuse socket...it straight burnt ! I think 10A unable to support that...somemore I dont have anymore extra 10A or 15A fuse, but I got alot 30A fuse, bought alot lasttime when I'm into I.C.E.
straight plug in the 30A....cool man its working fine xD
Now the next problem occur is the front signal light bulb burnt = =" Replaced it and ok...time to bath and have rest =D So I just locked my car with remote control.

After I bath, OMG I cant open my car door with remote control = ="
Shit man...another problem again !
Tried to replace battery for the remote but still the same. The key is not functioning also...the only way I can go in the car is climb in from the rear booth. Oh man...how I'm gonna drive a car that the door cant be open ?

After long time of thinking and looking around underneath the dashboard, I think it should be the fuse problem since the previous problem is all because of fuse burnt.
But from the fuse box cover translation that Yuki gave me got no such thing as the fuse for car alarm system. So I'm trying to find out the alarm system module....aha ~ gotcha ! I spotted a
blue colour fuse ~ Its located near the alarm module that hiding underneath the dashboard.
After replaced it, everything is back to normal again ~ thanks god...been praying all the time and hope that no more problem again after I fixed the current problem....lol

Total 3 fuse burnt, 1 bulb and 1 relay

Sweat alot....bath again = ="
Realized that my hand is bleeding, should be scratched it during I doing the fuse thingy. But worth it lar because I can go out with 'her' everyday since I'm in holiday for Chinese New Year =D Somehow add some red red wound on hand...ONG AR !!! good for chinese people lolz


Thanks for reading for such long story lolz...Happy CNY to everyone ~ =D

8th-10th Jan 2010 KL Hunting Trip

Day 1 - Getting bored and stress for everything that happened recently, planned to get out of the island and relax myself. And also to meet my friends and go hunt some model kits & some apparels for CNY. Since my friend is having a business trip to KL, so that i just followed their car to go together.
We leaving Penang on 8.30pm and reach KL around 11.30pm. We straight head to SS2 to heal our stomach without considering much...my 1st meal in KL is Indomee Goreng Double + Mata Kerbau lolz.

Day 2 - On the way to KL city I heard some buzzing sound...OMG the 1st 'car' I spotted in KL is FD3s with bodykit that havent touchup. My friend dropped me at Sg. Wang and I call up another friend Paster (Ken Chong) cause he is free on that day and able to go shopping with me. After he pick up me, we going to KLCC straight (to hunt for my Oakley apparels =p ) ended up very disappointed...because the shop is no longer exist T_T
After KLCC we going to Pavilion to give a try but still unable to find x_X
Oh man...the feeling is so down...
Forget about Oakley and time to go Berjaya Time Square (Hobby Shop Heaven) to hunt for my kits ~

First of all before I overspend for my model kits, I planned topay a visit to Ben's shop. So that I call up Victor to ask whether which floor is his shop located and he told me its What's Good @ 5th Floor.
Saw alot nice tees there but mostly is L size @_@"
Im quite a choosy person...but when I spend too much time on choosing something in a shop I will feel uncomfortable, so that I just use my own sense to simply grab a tee. Wow...the tee i grabbed is what i want lolz...simple & nice with my favourite colour scheme. Without consider anymore I just paid for it then =D

Next plan is hunt for my model kits ~ due to some forummer's info, Gamers Arena selling the 1/100 MG Acguy 30th Anniversary @ RM156 (nice price). But too bad...me and the shopkeeper find the whole shop also unable to found it...should be all sold out before I go...
Damn...my 'buying spree virus' is activated again...ended up I buy the BB#340 Taishiji Dom there.


After hunting around all the hobby shops...my result is just 1 box of BB#340 only.
And helped my friend to buy the World of Warcraft figures Series 1 because it got discount there.
Total of 5 figures....will post up the photos once I get from my friend =D

Saturday nite...nothing special to do...just sitting at Tclub at Bangsar Village there have some drinks only. Somemore my both leg muscle pain until I feel every single step I walked is so suffering due to less excercise for long time. Spotted alot cool cars over there eg Scooby ver.8, DC5, Gallardo, Celica (give some face lar xD )

Day 3 - Friend wake up late (farkdup people that not punctual >:< ), at 1st I promised my Masta Kukubeh to deal with him for the model kits but ended up unable to meet him in time and he's busy too. He said will just post the things to me some other day. Today, I got a mission because Paster is not free and I have to meet up my friend Shin at 1Utama. Thanks to Paster for the briefing yesterday on how to go 1U from KL city.
So my mission today is how to go 1U (dont laugh lar everytime I drive here or people fetch me xD )
1st I take the Monorail to KL Central, then take LRT to Kelana Jaya and Shin come & pick me up there.
Shopping around in 1U...attracted by a cute & special design tees by Soloman. Found alot other Soloman tees and all the design are different and unique...so I just grab all the Soloman series will do lar no need to headache so much...since the price not expensive and the t-shirt material is not bad too =p
Total of 5 Soloman tees I grabbed =p

At nite before we leave KL, we have our dinner at The Curve. When on the way to look for food, I saw there is some hobby shops there. Ended up I bought another SD again....GG#39 Gundam Ez8 (aint it looks like Megatron lolz)

End of my KL Hunting Trip....a tiring trip that caused my leg muscle pain for the following 3days...although I dont get the thing I want, but still feel satisfied with it...but 1 more thing I found in this trip is I can finally confirmed who is the real friend to me...

They are back !

Many months ago my friend Eddy that working in KL helped me to deal with a forum member for few boxes of various model kits and he told me that he can help me take back to Penang when he coming back.
Due to his busy working time, hes unable to came back until last nite, he called me up for a meetup and pass the kits to me.
On my way back, i've stopped at a police road blocking and they ask me to park at side.
I already know at 1st they will ask me to park a side for checking for sure, know why ? because i put my kits on my passenger's seat and the box is quite big lolz !
As usual...they checked my identity card and driving license. One of the police officer open my passenger door and ask me what is inside the box, i just opened up and show him lolz.
Then he ask me where i get all these toys, i answered him a friend from KL bring it back to me.

The main reason they stopped my car is because of the big box on passenger's seat only, after they know its toy, they gimme back my I/C and told me i can pass now. Another officer came and ask me before i go : 'Ini keta pakai turbo kah ?' (this car is running on turbo isit)
LOLz

Shimano Slade 2500FB Fishing Reel



Been desperate to buy my very 1st fishin reel for a long long time and finally i've bought it today !
Last night while im chatting with my fren, he told me that he will be going to fishing equipment shop to buy a fishing rod, since i need to buy a reel so i just follow him go.
At 1st the boss recommended me a Shimano Baitmaster 1000, oh man...the feeling damn good when trying it ! Due to budget wise, i think have to give up for that.
Then i ask the boss whether got any cheaper Shimano reel and he show me another 1...the price is slightly cheaper by half of the Baimaster price but i dont feel good when trying it...(maybe i get poisoned by the better 1 - Baitmaster LOL)
Then i started to disappoint and planned to save more money to buy the Baitmaster.
While i lookin around the display cabinet, i found this Shimano Slade 2500FB displayed at the bottom and corner part. I tried it and quite satisfied because of the price for such quality.
Without considering anymore i straight pay for it (if not ended up i wont buy anything lol).

Hope next week the Bedong (Sungai Petani) fishing pond trip is on so that i can try my reel ~
Cant wait to play with it xD

I always windows shopping around HWJ because i dont have anything that i really desperate to buy.
But today, my buying spree is activated, because i saw some kits that i want and the special 30th Anniversary 1/100 MG with clear parts are finally available !

Kill da Toads to get a Peaceful night...

8/9/09 Tuesday - I'm very exhausted tonight (Tuesday) and feel very tired and sleepy. After bath would be a good sleep all night long. But unfortunately, the toads started to croaking again...WTF !!!
Fyi, my house got 1 fish pond and alot of plants around, toads like to hanging inside my house compound =_="
Due to I scared toads, usually I be a scout and scout for toads and my father catch them and throw away. But too bad....tonight my dad havent came back yet...zzz
While I'm chatting with my friend Ivan, we talked about it and he straight ride motor and come my house to help me catch them.

As usual...I be scout again cause I almost know every spot where the toads at.
We get to catched 2 toads that busy croaking beside the pond. After that we go to look around for those little toad that about 1-2cm size. When I scouting around....suddenly I spotted few more adult toads there....so we just catch it

Since those old people said that if we burn it, the rest of the toads will sense it and run away from that area. So we just give a try lar....panggang katak lolz
Total toads we catched : 5 adult toads & 1 3cm height toad

Tips to catch toad : use torch light and light on their eye, as near as possible. So that they cant see you when you go in front of them, and then use the thing (the 1 we use to take charcoal 1)
and straight catch it

Here is some katak panggang pics...

I'll be more danger when sleeping today onwards ~ !!! Hahaha

My current room is too small but I keep buy buy buy the model kits until I have to stacked it up till so high....hehehehe
Been happened once that the boxes fall on me when I'm sleeping...wtf lolz
Thats because I simply stack it last time and the foundation is not that stable.
This time got extra 2 boxes with kits inside and I stack it nicely until I 'think' it wont falls again ....hahaha

New kits Reportin' In ~

Time to add some more items to my model kits storage again...lolz
Total 5 more boxes added into storage :
1/24 Aoshima D1GP A'pex D1 Project FD3S 2003 Version
1/24 Aoshima D1GP RE Amemiya GReddy 2004 Version
1/24 Aoshima D1GP HKS Hiper Silvia 2002 Version
1/24 Tamiya Calsonic Skyline R34 GT-R
1/24 Tamiya avex Dome Mugen NSX

FC3S vs "R32 GT-R"

Time to settle some minor problem for my car's aircond before it become major problem.
Since it take almost half day before the job done, I have to leave my car at my mech's shop.
When I reach his shop, the gate is locked = ="
After I called him, he said hes on the way coming back.
Then I saw a car park in front of his shop......wah....R32 jeeeteeee-arlou (GT-R)
But after see whole car and feel the body shape & size abit weird, masaka....Ford Lxxxx ?!?!?



And I found this nice angle...FC3S face to face with "R32" lolz
I keep taking photo and suddenly a guy ask what car model is my car, and the usual question people would ask me about the car --- how is the fuel consumption ?? Then he told me that "R32" is his brother's car.
After chit-chat with him, he said that his car (Mazda but dont know what model) lasttime is 70sen/km....now after setting and tunning it become 30sen/km (wah thats crazy also man...for a stock and NA car)

After 10min talking with him, my mech is back, so I just leave my car there and I come back to take on 7.20pm. The result after done :
- Bigger wind inside
- Temperature reach 10c when engine idling, will go down until 7-9c when driving or rainning days. Thats cool enough for me ~
- Engine idling very stable & less vibration when the a/c compressor is working or stopped.

Recommended place to service/repair your car aircond. I promote this shop because I feel like to share with everyone, I know the boss through my father. Cause all the time my family's cars aircond is serviced by him and we dont have to worry for a/c problem for long time after the previous service. And his price is reasonable too.

Project Se7eN : Newly Bought Front Brake Set

Time To Change :
Due to the bearing is loose & the rotor is not so perfect in condition, so I decided to change it.
Surf and surf around the forum and I found a seller from KL is selling the whole front brake set for FC3S. The best part is the brake set he selling is including the bearing and everything that just need to plug & play only. Cause some seller only sell the rotor and caliper but the bearing is not included, so we have to get it ourselves or use back the current 1...
After counting my budget, I give the seller a call and check the availability for this item. When he said its still available, I feel quite happy cause I no need headache to find and call around to look for it anymore.
Since my friend from KL, Yeow, is coming back Penang on Friday, so I asked for his help to get the item from the seller and carry back for me.

Good Seller :
The seller forum name CheapCheap, is a nice, friendly & trustworthy seller. After I confirmed to buy the item from him, I banked in for him first. After he get back to shop, he straight packed my item and ready to pass it to my friend. Beside that, I've consult him alot of his personal experience for driving a rotary engine car cause he owned a FC3S before. I learned alot knowledge from him =D

When my friend Yeow pass the things to me, I was shocked because of the good packaging that give fully protection to the item. When the seller said 'later I go back shop and packed your thing up' on that day, I thought he just put in box for me only...hahaha
What a nice seller....recommended ~

Thanks to : Yeow
Thanks alot for helping me to get the item from CheapCheap and bring back to Penang for me.


Nice & Safe packaging...the items are well protected =p

Project Se7eN : Change New Windscreen



22 Aug 2009 - Due to the screen cracked, and it the crack goes all around my windscreen and I feel it quite irritating when I'm driving. So I decided to changed it. Went to my father's old friend's car glass shop and ask them to look for the front windscreen for my car model.
The 2nd day morning, the boss called me up and told me that he already get the windscreen for me...brand new somemore and the price is quite reasonable. I dont expected he able to get it for me so fast lolz...as this car model is so old already and less people will keep stock.
I straight send my car in for changing the new windscreen....since I got no place to go and nobody free to fetch me, so I just sit and wait there.

After 3 hours, the car is done with a new look ~ (without crack ~ hehehe)
Very satisfied for the new windscreen....feel very comfortable when driving day or night xD

Project Se7eN : FC3S Revived & goin' back home ~



11 Aug 2009 - Finally the car is revived !!! Transferred the car to the final workshop for bodykit touchup & paintjob ~ ~ !! Unfortunately...too many cars over there still in the waiting list for paintjob. Haih....need to wait few weeks somemore... It is not a good idea that i parking the car at the workshop for few weeks again, s0 I request the boss to temporary get the front bumper installed so that i can drive this baby 1st ~ So that I can startup the engine everyday to warm up it....main thing is I can listen to the pretty rotary engine sound everyday....heheheeh xD
After I parked this baby on my 'parking lot' (where i parked my car all the time), the 1st thing I do is clean up the car thoroughly from inner to outter....cause you know lar....the condition of the car after came out from workshop LOL

Project Se7eN : Inplant the Sheepdog BOV

8 Aug 09 : Finally the car is done and transferred to another workshop for car wiring checking and install the blow off valve. Been parking in the workshop for few days due to weekend. It actually take 1 working day to complete =)
