CAK~!~!

its been almost a year since i’ve last updated my blog.lots of things happened, so i dont think i can write them all in one blog post. for now, i guess i’ll tell the tale of my princess.. JFX

continuing from the last time i wrote about her..it was a about a secret project. now’s time to reveal the secret. i turbocharged it >_< .. the turbokit was used by a spoc member, wan a.k.a. glr, for three years before he decided to sell it. the price was a steal, at rm600 plus swap with some of my stock parts. persuaded by kupunk & some of my other frens, i went ahead with the project. costed me another 500 for the labour. unfortunately for me, i wasnt there to see the turbokit transplant coz i had to go back home, so i entrusted my car to kupunk that weekend. he was the one who first tested the car..jelesnye…

when i got back to shah alam, i asked kupunk to pick me up at the bus station. and from the bus station to my aunt’s house was the first time i drove my 1.3 turbo~ i wasn’t pressing the accelerator to the max coz my grandma was with me, and i also don’t have a tachometer to monitor my rpm…

a few days after that, only i realized there the white smoke prob (as mentioned in my previous post). i sent my car to MAG to get it checked, and Mal said that it was a prob with my turbo unit (turbine). had to send the turbine to Tong’s Turbo to get it serviced (costed me another 400 T_T).after a whole week of ‘period’, finally she’s back xD

that project was done in early december last year.immediately, i got her a 3" tacho (ah beng!! =Þ) so that i’d know how much i rev her..and feel safe about it :) i set the shift light at 5k rpm for playing around.hehe..not to forget, i also gave her a halfcut mivec muffler to complement the turbo

since the semester break before coming into the next sem was only 1 week (due to the 32 weeks of intern), i left my car at shah alam. went back home to jb by bus, and then went back to shah alam to get her before going back to utp for the start of the new sem..my final year..

last sem, there’s wasnt much done to her. this was because of the new petronas policy..500 per month instead of 1.5k per 3 month. *sigh* gotta cancel all the plans i’ve made for her.. =(  nvm that, coz last sem she met some new frens..force inducted frens >:D they are AAM, WBK, and WGR. she also made frens with the NAs; WDY, WPM, WED and BHN. and btw, dont tell her i told u guys this..i think she’s in luv with BHN.. ^^

they hanged out together often, and sumtimes they play together.. her playmate was usually WPM, coz he’s always looking for a good game. i had to increment her limit to 6k rpm for the games, which was still not enuff to stay ahead the 1.6L 16v DOHC.. nevermind, play for fun rite? ;)

then it was semester holidays again. she went back to JB for the first time after turning into the dark side of forced induction. the had to hide her dark side from my ppl, especially my parents. coz they’d kill me if they knew what happened to her..

the holidays actually went by w/o a breeze, coz neither mum or dad realized. she’s good at hiding her secret, but i think its coz both mum and dad dont rev high.. :p but, there was one occasion where dad drove her to the mosque for prayers due to rain, and when he came back home, he said that she’d need servicing coz there’s noises coming out from her engine bay..lucky me he didnt know the truth.. =Þ

start of another new sem, my final sem.but 1 day before going back, i tinted the rear passenger side windows 90% black, for the vip look…hahahahahaha >:D drove her back to UTP a few weeks before the official starting date of the sem. gotta do work on my fyp (yea rite!). during that 3 weeks, i got her a set of 10mm thick plug cables (its blue!!), and also a pair of used CR-X seats.the fabric is quite seasoned, but the padding is still comfy and firm. they are just nice for my body frame =)

the first half of the semester went by..she met another new fren; the green DAUn :p unfortunately for her, a tragic thing happened while we were on our way back to utp from melaka. white smoke appeared again. :x i was like omg..only realized it when i’ve reached the traffic lights in front of utp.if only i hadn’t speed that much on the highway..now she’s….she’s….waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… T_T

had to ask for nipah’s help to operate her..after 3 weeks of sitting alone at the parking lot, she’s finally revived…with super duper rempit exhaust -_- had to remove the turbo, which needs servicing again. so now, she’s back to NA..

honestly i was regretted abusing her, and promised not to do that to her again..but i guess i’m still me. one week after being revived, i started to rev her here and there..up till 7k rpm…muahahahahahaha! >_<  i really miss the turbo kick she had for 10 months before…its true what ppl said, that once u drive a turbo, its hard to go back to NA.. well, i dont mind if its NA w/VVT =Þ

up till now, i’m happily driving her around utp, ipoh, batu gajah and lumut w/o any major problems. there was once a clutch cable prob, but that was immediately repaired. her rempit sound was silenced a bit, and i’ve been bathing her once every week ^^

JFX, i luv u~~
