installed new sets of wipers....the ones without besi...it looks kind a funny, but it works well, at least for now...hope it'll last long cause it costs quite a sum...funny thing about this new wipers, when the 19inch wiper was installed on the driver side, it was faulty, so we went back to eneos for a refund, they changed the wiper, yet still the same problem, they can't figure out what was wrong, they even blame it on the windshield...duhh!....suddenly i had an idea, to swap those wipers, install the 18 inch on the driver's side and the 19" on the passenger's side, and hey all works fine! suprised and dumbfounded, we all leave the wipers as it is...now I'm using 19" on the passenger's side, and shorty 18" on the driver's side...more awkwardness....LOL
well, it's not about suspense, but it's about suspensions really...lol...changed my rear suspensions from stock absorbers + sapura leda sport springs to monroe sensatrac absorbers + stock springs...the car's a bit 'jinjang' at the rear...but not too bad...better comfort now....well, since the old abs were 'dead' (wasnt responding at all), sure can feel a big difference, takde la sakit pinggang passengers yang dok belakang...hehe..after installing the new abs, there was a noisy buzzing sound...sounds like the tyres hitting the body, and u guessed it, the tyres were hitting the abs (the new ones are a bit bigger than the old ones)...so, went to install spacers lah..what else...lol....next step....change the front suspensions...when? next month!
went to see belalang for my 'new' pmc stickers and later that night went to get my sic sticker from mat at sic's gathering in putrajaya.....tampal those sticker dan dan tu jugak...hehe...gloat...gloat!
it was another lazy sunday, and it's the usual....some DIY activity....today we flushed dak merah's radiator, cleaned her engine bay...shine the hoses and removed the sticker substances from the rear spoiler...
Flushing Radiator step-by-step
step 1: open the radiator's draincock and remove some water, put the draincock back in place
step2: start the engine, until normal running temperature
step 3: pour radiator flush into the warm radiator
step 4: place the radiator cap, not tightly, run the engine for 20 minutes
step 5: stop engine, when cool, remove the draincock again, drain the radiator then run water until water runs clear
step 6: replace the draincock and refill with radiator coolant (and water - depends on the type of coolant)
Cleaning the water tank step-by-step
step 1: remove the water tank from the engine bay (remove screws and unplug wiper sprays hoses)
step 2: clean using water to remove rust
step 3: put some small rocks (with some water) into the tank, then shake it to remove stubborn stains (rust/debris)
step 4: let it dry and screw the water tank back in place
step 5: add water (and a bit of coolant) into the water tank
haiyah...this car ley....baru amik dari kedai cat dah wat perangai...her rear brake pumps (right side) bocor lagi....this time it's the third time it leaks...adie pomen says DOT3 is no good, so he pumped out all my red brake fluids and change to the yellow one...
now she brakes a lot better..grip skett....wee hoo 
she's home!! went to segamat yesterday to take her home....today put on some polymer sealant on her....whew...white really IS a hard color to look after...almost impossible to keep her flawless...hehe...
I am so happy seeing her in her new white coat...evetho she's white now...she's still my budak merah....there were still some little2 flaws here n there, but I'm tired leaving her behind...so, she's coming back home with us..feels good driving her again...but too bad the brake pump on the left bocor again....so, tomorrow will send her for a fix
[color code: AK979]
got an sms from asri (our paintmaster) saying that my car color's really cool...!! woohoo!! went to visit dak merah and was expecting to take her home...but when we arrived, she's not ready to come out from the 'car-saloon' just yet...they were fixing the spoiler (which seemed like such a hard and very troublesome job :-p).....still got some flaws on her, so she's in need for some minor touch-ups...so, we're leaving her for 'pertapaan' for another week...next saturday we're sure to bring her home..!!
overall...the paint job was superb...really! the color's effects came out nicely...but you have to see it with your own eyes...the camera didn't capture the effects well I guess...or maybe the photographer (referring to mua, who else :-p) was just lousy at snapping pics...hehehe
can u see the pinkish effect?
hrmm....now my dak merah is no longer 'merah'...she's now 'putih'.....so, should I now call her....'dak putih' or 'bawang putih'???!! hehehehehee
