The First Post Of 2010

The year 2009 is gone, 2010 just came in even though I MISSED IT. More on this later, rambling first as usual :D...


Its so fast that already 1 year has gone by like that, im technically a 'senior' in college now. Its weird being 16 and knowing tons more stuff than older people in college and teaching them! I thank God that this year there was more good things than bad ones, but it just had to end crappy didnt it?


The next time when I ever drive if my mum is going to ask me here to drive here and there she better have a schedule and stick to it. Thanks to her I didnt get to sleepover at Alex's house, didnt get to watch fireworks, and didnt get to visit Calvin or whatever. Instead of celebrating all she did was watch TV while I fell asleep on the couch. OH and I woke up an hour ago btw, had my supper then since I didnt have dinner...

I swear because of this, next time if my mum is fickle minded too bad. Im not driving you anywhere screw your plans, you wanna ruin the LAST DAY OF THE YEAR for me i'll ruin your mood whenever and wherever lah.


The only bad thing aside... Lets talk about the good things!


And as USUAL, i'll start with my soon-to-be-daily-driven car, the Nissan AD resort! It has come a loooong way from what it has been... last year it was bone stock with a semi-faded paintjob after the accident, not exactly the kind of condition where I would say im proud of it. Now at the end of the year this is what my dad has done to fix it back to health :) :


1. Paintjob: Gloss white, simple, cheap (Among other choices) and JDM! Cant go wrong with it... Sadly its already starting to peel around the edges, lesson learned, NEVER send it back to Nissan for a damn spray paint job.

2. Exhaust: YES I KNOW, its not BRANDED, its pirated but hey, my dads not a performance junkie (I am though) so we just settled for it. It does improve performance, but not by that much... Its torquey during the mid-range but as you REALLY rev the engine hard it starts to get out of breath. I have no idea whether its caused by the fact im still running my stock intake or the exhaust is craaaap, sounds great though haha. I love revving it just for the sound... Bassy, smooth and loud only when you floor it... Plans to re-do it next time at Tonnka next time + adding a Cherry Bomb Glasspack. Huhuhu~~ http://tonnka.com.my/main/

3.Wheels: Oh boy this is my favourite mod of the year. I JUST found out that the 'Black Racing' wheels on my car are usually lighter than 'Watanabe' rims... AMAZING :O.

4.Nissan OEM Japan Lip: Its just that little black skirting connected at the front bumper, purely cosmetic only haha. Amazingly it bolted straight on with no fuss at all...

5. Spark Plug Cables: Red, PIRATED, but they work. I'd suggest use this only if youve run out of minor mods such as an air filter, which would benefit more... Theres no air filter that specifically fits my Nissan so I was too lazy to hunt down one. I've got something better in mind for it hehe >:).

6. Rainbow Lug/Wheelnuts: Again colorful and maybe HALF A GRAM lighter than the ori? Slimmer too! I just wish they were slightly longer... Haha.

7. Nardi Steering + Bosskit: Chung already bought the bosskit, i've got the steering. When should I install it? Why ASAP of course :)!


And that would be all the mods done on the Nissan this year... I never completed spray painting the calipers + drums, wonder where can you get that done haha. Modding can be spread out whenever you have the money, and stopped if you dont. UNLIKE buying a NEW CAR, you have to pay no matter whether you lost your job, or you just got a RM10k bonus cause your boss so crazy, he gave you a bonus.


ANYWAYS!!! Gibberish aside im going to talk about my NISSAN SOMEMORE. Muahaha ;D.


I really really wonder how much more of these I can finish by this year, the mods are becoming more and more expensive since i've already finished stage 1. What do you think?:

Stage 2 Mods (Sounds like NFS huh? HAHAHA)

1.Twin Weber DCOE40's + Custom Manifold with Trumpets: If the stock carburettor stops working by this year... Muahaha :D, you know what that means.

2. TiTan custom coilovers: Yes, my car has fender-to-wheel gap of 5-6 fingers and it feels like a old car with over grippy tires when it corners hard. Well, the fact it is an old car with grippy tires makes this a very ironic statement... Im looking forward to this the most.

3. Full bracing from Ultra Racing: Yeaaah, even though the nissan has already got autofoam inside of its entire skeleton, its never enough! Admittedly, I am a handling junkie (Played too much Gran Turismo 4 + Forza motorsport 2) so some minor bracing would be nice... The nissan really needs anti-roll bars back and front. I want custom THICKER ones then the ones already off the shelf. The 16mm rear one looks weedier than the weeds behind in my garden. I mean come on, it really looks like a OEM anti-roll bar painted white. I try to make ANYTHING i've got to turn better than stock. Of course the nissan is one of the dumbest platforms to start a handling beast but anythings possible right?...

4. Foglamps: Haha this is again purely cosmetic, but it would be SOOO awesome if I could just find the OEM Nissan Wingroad foglamps, then tint it yellow or use yellow bulbs in it. WHEE~~~

5. Tachometer: My car doesnt have one :(... I want big big one with BIGASS shift light so it looks like an old trans-am race car, hahaha. Dumb part is, my Nissan is FWD or wrong wheel drive as they call it, so yeh. 5" of autogauge Taiwan knockoff goodness...

6. Brake Pads, Steel Braided Brake Hoses, and Painting the Calipers grey: I've been procrastinating for so long, I think i'll let a shop do it for me haha. EBC Greenstuff just like on the honda + PRO RS brake hoses + Grey calipers and drums should be enough to stop my car for now...

And there we go. All the mods I HOPE can be finished by 2010, if its done its already 2 years that we've been modding the Nissan :). Im like so proud of my-soon-to-be car~~~ Haha.


LASTLY to all you who are the same age as me, we can get our licences by this year! :D MUAHAHAHA. We shall rule the streets!!! Happy new year everybody, and welcome 2010.
