Tragedy.

First of all, the title of this post dosent relate to any of the thing I'm about to write, I just simply using a song title Bee Gees - Tragedy because I'm currently listening to it while I'm writing this entry.

Its been awhile since my previous post, but still there is no major upgrade or restoration to my kambing haha.

I would like to apologize because this post will not contain any pictures on things that had been done to my kambing, because I always had a camera with me all the time and I dont own a cellphone with camera. Ironic.

I was told by my Dad that kambing's sparkplug haven't been change since he bought the car. wait, he bought the car 8 years ago. so this kambing I've been driving around is running on 8++ years old spark plug (O.O) see how reliable and high quality Japan made machine can be. unlike tuuutt...... ( tanak ckp sendiri faham la ) hahaha
so 1 night (I forgot when, somewhere in March) my friend said he changed his sparkplug and I took his previous sparkplug, I replaced my 8 years old sparkplug with his, and my plug was in good condition meaning the lead cover dosent burn.

Kambing's front absorber getting worst, and I feel like I'm riding a high speed boat whenever I drive more than 60km/h.

Kambing's carburettor has been re-tuned by Khai friend of mine and I changed to K&N open pod air-filter which is I get for free. hoho ! thanks Lan.
increase performance after change air-filter ? nahhh... still the same kambing. I was told by Khai that my carburettor is in very bad condition even after carburettor service last two months.

To sum it up :
1.Sparkplug change after 8 years
2.Retune carb.
3.Free airfilter

no major upgrade or restoration as per told :p

1st update on year 2011.

theres nothing much that been done to my kambing, just a minor servicing.

and I went to service my aisan carb, and re-tune. weber project need to be postpone due to incomplete parts.

after carb service my car becomes more nimble, the acceleration greatly increase from before which is from 0 to 100km/h is about 1 minute. LOL

after carb service this is the travel details



Time of Departure (USJ 1, Subang Jaya) : 1730 HRS
Time of Arrival (Permatang Pauh, Penang) : 2140 HRS


Route Taken :
Subang Airport - Juru Exit ; PLUS Highway

theres a big improvement on the average speed and fuel consumption compare to before carb service.

Special Thanks to Zul for travelling with Boeing AAY 5909

DIY Part 2 : Polish Signal Lens & Adding Reflectors.

This is how the car looks without the tail lights, sila abaikan payung and rod hitam tu. Removing the bulb holder from the whole tail lights is quite an easy task because everything is sealed using screws, nut and rubber because Other oldschool car's their tail lights are sealed using silicone or glue.



Start by removing the bulb holder and the lenses and begin cleaning process, I'm using a used tooth brush to clean the narrow area, I dont wanna miss any spot because the next time im doing this DIY thing is gonna be another 20 years from now. LOL



Done polishing and spraying chrome paint to the bulb holder, I'm using hair dryer for quick drying at the narrow spots, its raining while I'm doing this theres no sunlight to dry it.



the rubber between the tail lights and the body has already worn out, so this is 1 of the reason why my rear boot become wet when heavy rains. so I sealed the space using a silicone, at least this will stop water from entering my boot.

now my kambing's tail light is much much brigher than before ! hehe

DIY Part 1 : Polish Signal Lens & Adding Reflectors.

The long awaited semester break has finally come ! so while waiting for my part time job response I've read through one thread on olskool.org it was about cleaning and polishing lenses.

Jadi... apa tunggu lagi, I started taking all the lamps and lenses out around 5 pm I know its already late tapi takpe lah buat je.



then start cuci lenses and bulb holder



While waiting for the lenses to dry, I start working on the bulb holder, clean it and dry it thoroughly before applying chrome spray on it, so the chrome will act as a reflector which will create a brighter surface that will reflect the bulb's light.



After that I start working on polishing the lenses, Meet the Super Duper Polishing Machine LOL (You can blame rossobloggy for the name of the polish machine). Credits to Rossobloggy/Amar because I took the idea from his blog hehe.

Im using brake fluid (minyak brek) for my polishing agent, actually there is a lens polish liquid sold in hardware store but I was out of budget so break fluid is an alternative to lens polish. Caution, brake fluid is really sharp and can irritate skin.



After polish ! hehe






Nampak nya tak sempat siap polish and clean sume lens today. so kena continue tomorrow. sbb hari dah gelap. hm

Curse you meter minyak.

long story short,

Sabtu, 0115 di kilometer 446.6 lebuhraya PLUS menghala ke kuala lumpur - Seekor kambing di dapati mati di tepi jalan akibat kehabisan petrol. Menurut si pengembala, kambing ter sebut tidak menunjukkan sintom yang beliau akan kehabisan petrol, akan tetapi hanya memati kan dirinya dengan begitu sahaja. Pengembala kambing itu juga menyatakan yang beliau turut bernasibbaik kerana kambing nya mati di tempat yang terang (mempunyai lampu jalan).

sorry takde gambar lagi.
