Enhancing Performance

Of all simple performance, I think that by replacing your car air filter is one of the easiest ways for you to increase the performance of your car, hence balancing the power and fuel efficiency. Got this set of K&N air intake 57i, which I dreamed of having one since the day I got my cute Pocket Rocket Mitsubishi in my grip, hehehe. Thank you my bro in law for the help :)






Air duct is included but I don't think I'm using it at the moment


Rhetoric design but simply means power!


That's what the best thing about this air cleaner :)

Raining Brunei


Went back home from work at noon....so heavy rain


Encountered several flooding spots.


Brunei did experience the raining season in December 2008. It seems this month of January 2009 is nonetheless the same. Becareful road users.

Not Succeed

A bit frustrated. Yeap, I let my car tuned at SHH for more than 24 hours just to install this small gadget called electronic boost controller and the result was not satisfying. Furthermore, my car didn't really accept this thing to pair together with my engine. To my knowledge, a boost controller (be it manual or electronic) suits all cars that run turbo applications (with a few exceptions which is minimal). Yet the thing was, my car is using a CVT gearbox that when the boost controller was installed and tuned, the knocking factor appeared in which whenever the acceleration pedal was set to full throttle, the RPM was automatically went down, like the boost was automatically (or maybe electronically) cut everything. Not just that, when the tuner, Mr Ohura set the gear to sequential mode, the result was also the same. This was done on their car dyno tester and also more than 3 times of roadtests..the result was soooooo lame!!! What to do, had to uninstall the set and get refunded. My friend said it could be a fuel cut or boost cut problem. Some cars have this secure cutting thing set from the factory, yet that is just an assumption though. Well, maybe I would test another boost controller with a manual set up instead of electronic and see if the problem appears the same. In the meantime, to maintain the performance of the car, an intake replacement kit will be just fine :) Buckle up!!

Staggered!!!

You might wonder what the heck those pics below are? Those are actually 2 set of different outer piece for custom wheel width fitment. The first four pictures below were taken by a friend of mine, a 6" wide outer piece fitment for a 19" + 12" (or 13") width that to me is sooooo crazily staggered!! The last pic is a custom 4" width for my friend's 18" wheel with its original 8" width fitment wheel that soon to be a 12" staggered rim. This application is mostly applied to rear wheels of course. Like the samples below, they are belong to Supra RZ and Silvia S14 so it is typical for these type of cars to use wide wheels at the back with a possible custom modified wide body kit or fenders. These outer piece will cost you about $1200-$1500 for all 4 rims. Quite pricey yet believe me, the result will be awesome! Anyway, not all rims can be custom made. Most of 'em would be branded wheels and those 2-3 piece wheels only.


6" wide...and it's 19" wheel!




Different curve, 4" wide, but same brand of wheels..

Lovely Pop

Last night I saw this video clip on Hitz TV, I thought she was Katy Perry by judging from her face. My thought was wrong though; she was Lenka Kripac, best known as Lenka, an Australian actress and singer. She is also known with her single "The Show" in 2008 but I really think the song in this clip is much better :)


Lenka - Trouble Is A Friend


Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh
No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh
You're fine for a while but you start to lose control

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh oh, I try!

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Ooo, oh ooo, ooo ahh

Nexus...By Google??


Don't be surprised, Google is not just a favorite search engine nowadays. They have launched their own phone which to me will be as powerful as their own search engine too. Behold, Nexus One - a phone that will match the existence of iPhone, or maybe more better than iPhone! Nexus One will use the same OS as HTC (in cooperation to be exact) with Snapdragon 1ghz processor, touchscreen of course and with a big 5 megapixel camera. The design is quite slick with Google logo at the back of the phone. You can of course google more about Nexus One in the internet, hehe. But I would love to have this phone someday!!

Wadihah First School


Well, she envied her cuzzie Afrina having her school yesterday. So my bro in law decided to let her off to school today instead of tomorrow. Wadihah seemed to be well prepared for her KG2 session this year. Unlike Afrina's KG1 classroom, the KG2 is a bit crowded and I saw her a bit tremble at first but managed to click herself with her new friends/mates :) I fetched both 'em today (including Aiman), all of 'em were happy with their school day (despite Afrina was crying when I sent her to school this morning due to lack of sleep..hahaha)

They are just growing...yes, time does fly away~

Afrina's First Day Of School


Three years ago I published Aiman's first school pic in my late Rated666 blogspot. So today is the first day of school in Brunei; in which it was the first day for Afrina too, having her KG1 life..hehe. Like I expected, I can count on her. She remained cool even though there was a sense of wanna-cry-go-to-home-thingie in a glimpse, but it was soon gone as her teacher distracted her with toys and eventually giving me the space to leave the school. She was okay until I fetched her at 11.40am along with Aiman. I really count on her, she is a tough girl :) Happy schooling my beloved JDM gal xD

It will be challenging yet definitely awesome xD
