slotted anyone?

first thing i would like to do in the new year and in conjuction with chinese new year, is to pamper my love (my ride but also my mong mong.. hehe). ok this time is the braking system of my bluey. not too long ago, i've fully serviced both front and rear brakes due to overdue services which rendered the brake system in horrid condition. leaked rear brake pumps, front left brake caliper piston got jammed, nescafe-look-alike brake fluid, clogged brake hose..

after fully serviced all four brakes, i'm still not really conviced with it, so, it's time for more performance parts come into it. instead of going for bigger brakes like what others normally would do (which i dislike as there is some customizing job need to be done), i decided to go for slotted disc rotors and better brake pads. the choice? ODK slotted front rotors paired with Ferodo Zero brake pads. the price? don't ask as i'm satisfied with every penny i spent (i earned them k!).

try new engine lubricant, Bardahl Fully Synthetic 5W-40 with Proton Genuine Oil filter

brought those stuff to mong mong's dad shop to fix. also, it's time for a lub change as i preferred to have the oil changed every 3 months although the mileage has not reach 5000km. i was trying out new brand of engine lubricant which is Bardahl Fully Synthetic 5W-40.

the results? the engine is more rev-happy although just tried out for a short distance and my front brakes have not fully seasoned. detailed comment will be out once the brakes have fully run-in! stay tuned for more. (might be a special customized pulley sets in 2 months time? who knows right?)

upon installation. nice grooves!
