lately nothing much happened on my ride.. just a few updates like these..
short shifter (DIY installed)
Dual Layer Aluminium Radiator
Another view of the the radiatorlast 2 weeks ago, my front left side brake got jammed due to aging rubber brake hose. it started got jammed on the SPRINT Highway near the Seksyen 17 Toll Plaza and i had rev all the way to the nearby petrol station to check what's the problem. upon reaching, the brake pads got burnt and smoke kao kao. jacked the car and to try to spin for the first time but it can't move, suspects that brake caliper jammed. but after a while i tried to spin it again, it can be moved and suspects that it might due to brake hose problem where it can't release the brake fluid back to the reservoir, left the car for a few hours to let it cools down and drive it to the nearest workshop without brakes (i had to use handbrake though).
the next day went to workshop and got the hose changed. then happily drove it to fetch mong mong but the problem came back and haunt me but the impact wasn't as great as the previous one. i had drive it back to the workshop and checked. again spent a day there and got me car back. drive a while but still find the problem there.
no choice. terpaksa drive back to malacca and let mong mong's dad and have a look. after checking, the hoses were fine but the brake master cylinder assembly got leakage, i mean bad leakage (no wonder my brake fluid kept on decrease). fine. got it replaced and got all the brakes bleed. now it's back to normal but somehow i find my brakes now spongy, it's time for steel braided hoses? no money for it as i need fund for the major project that coming soon.
faulty front left side brake hose got removed and the burnt pads were replaced with new ones
the brake hose that gave me hell of a time..
now using IMP Formula Pads. it's cheap as i got it for special price
went back there the next to check what's the problem that caused brake jam again..
faulty brake master cylinder..
bad leakage..
brake fluid corroded the servo..
brake fluid is everywhere
missing wheel cap..
new red pads!

first of all, i need to stress that this post strictly no photos as my hands were greasy and oily throughtout the DIY session. so can't take any photos.
previously i was using Bardahl Semi-syn 10W-40 after switching from mineral to semi-syn. it was time to change the oil as i read from an article said that the oil first change from mineral to semi-syn must be replace in 2000 to 3000km. it said that it was due to the engine cleansing purposes. so this time, i switch to another brand which the Q8 advanced semi-syn 10W-40 engine oil. this brand is a well known brand and it is slightly pricey than the Bardahl.
ok first, you need to get ready a few basic tools such as 2-tonne jack, oil filter opener, oil container (if you old engine oil bottle, just cut it at one side of the bottle and tada, an oil container), 17mm wrench, new oil filter and lastly and most importantly, the new engine oil itself.
after you gotten all the tools needed, jack up your car and make sure the hand brake is fully lifted, the car steady. it is highly recommended that do this on a flat ground. i did mine on a ramp in mong mong dad's shop. oil cap can be removed now.
then, place the oil container under the oil pan and use the 17mm wrench to unscrew the oil sump nut. drain the oil completely. followed by unscrew the old oil filter with a oil filter opener and replace it with a new one (it is a must to change a new oil filter during each oil-change interval).
then, apply a thin film of grease or engine oil onto the new oil filter rubber gasket. but i skipped this step as mong mong's dad it is unnecessary to do so as there is oil on the place where the oil filter will be fitted. so, it is up to you whether want to perform this step or not. haha
after that, just screw the new oil filter in place until it is tight. this step must be use your hand's strength only. use 2 hands if you think it is not tight enough. then proceed to the screw in the oil sump nut. before this, you need replace the washer with a new one. then, screw in until tight. then, screw in further for 1/4 to 1/2 turn. make sure it is tight. or else, oil leakage might happen. wipe and clean up everything.
ok next, fill in new engine oil approximately 3/4 of it. then remove the dipstick and check the oil level. refill it again until the max line or slightly lower or you think it is adequate. then, place the oil cap and screw in place. before removing the jack or drive down from the ramp, check one last time for any leakage from oil filter and oil sump nut. if nothing happens, then can proceed to the final step.
lastly, fire up the engine and check the dipstick. if it is ok. then tada, you just finish your DIY session. haha
a few weeks, my car air-cond broke down (total no cold air). this time was leakage problem from the compressor which is one of the component that cost you a bomb. there are a few things in a car's air-cond system that can cost you a bomb are cooling coil, compressor and condenser. all of these items can easily fetch RM200 above per item. so guys better have your car air-cond system serviced regularly.
this time i had my car's air-cond repaired at mong mong's dad workshop. so i can expect a more professional approach instead of a bawah pokok's style of workmanship as her dad is proper trained and certified mechanic for Suzuki Cars.
sent my car there and had the system checked thoroughly. confirmed that the compressor was the culprit. the process was pretty straightforward as just had the faulty compressor replaced by the new one. then, check the pressure in the system before vacuum it in order to check for further leakage. it was followed vacuum the system and recharge the refrigent/freon into the system and jeng jeng, you have icy cold air blowing at your face.
i shall not disclose the total cost of repair but i can assured that his dad is good mechanic. so guys, do not hesistate to send your cars to KIAN NAM MOTOR REPAIRER for servicing.
have my car checked for air cond leakage
the culprit, air cond compressor suffered leakage
the brand new air-cond compressor
Denso Cool Gear ND-OIL 6 to replace the existing oil in the compressor
i was refilling the oil into the compressor
while my car was lifted up for compressor installation, i spotted this, oil leakage from front right absorber?
this is the left side of front absorber, got the sign of oil leakage
new air-cond hose to replace the old loose hose
had new drier installed too
thermometer in the car to monitor the air-cond temperature i just saw this nice ride a few weeks ago but something happened to it. very bad thing happened to it.
after
according to T.Djan, this car is heading to scrapyard. i wonder if he can sell to me at a very cheap price. i just love AE86 especially if it is equipped with 20V 4AGE. haha. too bad i ain't that rich to own one. perhaps in the future, maybe.
On 29th june, i went to A'Famosa Resort with mong mong and sifoo sky to catch Star Drift Challenge Round 2. the name itself already told you what it is all about. it is a local drift competition. i guess most of you already know what is drifting in motorsports right? remember the popular movie " The Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift"? haha. ok. pictures will paint the thousand words!
