Rolla's Final Prep.

Tomorrow will be sending Rolla to paint shop which mean I'm not gonna be driving Rolla for a few weeks. Huhu. There goes my toy for a few weeks. So, most of the items that I had ordered had arrived and with Ipin currently. Everything on the exterior will be brand new, and some of the stuffs that I took from Kay today are:

GL tail lamp. So now I have both DX and GL tail lamp.


Spanking new front and rear chrome bumper.


Plate number light for rear chrome bumper.


Cant wait for the final results of the paint job soon. And today I skip my afternoon class to get an insurance. Went to Uni Asia around 2pm, and took this number.


798! And guess the current number at that time? 690! And FOUR freakin' hours later, it was my turn and it took only 15 minutes to get the insurance! Wah, I waited for four hours just to settle 15 minutes procedure. Damn. Luckily, there is NO hassle at all and Rolla is insured for a year. Yay! And finally, Mr. JPJ can change the grant owner's name now.

And I went to PlayHouse Garage (PHG) the other day. Was thinking of making a vented hood but unfortunately, my engine bay is quite messy and too cramped, so I cant make it. Huhu. Monster Starlet in the making. One of the PHG's masterpiece.


Im getting interested with this color.


And a late birthday gift from my brothers. Taraa, a full face helmet! And it's white too!


And the awesome part is that I can remove half of the helmet. Sort of Transformers wannabe. Haha. And inside, there's a retractable visor too. More like shades design to me. Cool eh.


And some leftover photos from the drift practice the other day.

Lijet's MOVE-ing fridge. Awesome offset and hippari style.

The practise ground. I wish the tar is a bit smoother then it would be a perfect practise ground. Hehehe.

The crowds was pretty big. Most of the time, it was Din and me playing around. Kekeke. Din was having engine's trouble too this time.

Burnt spark plug is it? Hope the engine will get better soon!

Story : Flaring the 808.

As promised, we went to Play House Garage today to get the sexy flare. Anyway, first of all; since the flare is for Starlet, it surely will not fit 100% if the worker didnt trim it. And for clearance issue, I had to cut the front fender a bit especially the left one, the damaged @ rusty side.


One hour of arguing with the worker (LOL~) and trimming, taraaa, the front fender had been done.

We had some clearance issue on the door for the rear so I decided to cut the fender into two so that half of em will attach to the door.

Measuring time:

Done! I am very very satisfied with the job done by Play House Garage. Very neat and almost flawless job.

Anyway, here's a big project of Play House, a super bad condition Ford Cortina, and in the restoration progress. Roughly the cost of the bodyworks ( a LOT of) is RM8k+/-. And again, Im very impressed with the new floor made by them. It really looks like it was pressed by a machine. All was done by hand actually.

We went to nearby mamak after the job had been done. And guess who's showed today, another 808 user! His name is Fendy and his 808 is in very good condition. Im quite happy to found other 808 user.

His nice 808.

The neat interior compare to mine.

And kinda surprised when he gave me a very meaningful gift, a Mazda horn button! Thanks bro!

And, another gift came from Mok. She bought me a T-shirt! Oh, my lucky day isnt it?

Arrived at our hostel at 11pm. So, rest time!

DIY : Putting the spacers.

Bought this spacers few days ago. Was thinking of buying the old school spacers but I heard a lot of stories bout it so finally took the normal spacers. Its 8mm thick. Just to make my rear studs can be tighten with normal bolts, that's the reason Im buyin it.

Anyway, Mr.Jaguh Autoworks, check out this U-bolt highlighted in red color. Enough aa to put a few more steel plates of yours? Can be done or not?

Dirty drum brakes. Will repaint it this coming holiday.

Wee, more wider now.

And a preparation for a fender flare, I decided to raise the car a lil more bit so that it will looks more balanced. Will be going to Playhouse Garage tomorrow to fit in the wide fender. Argh, so excited!

My earlier post of Playhouse Garage; the expert in oldschool car bodywork.

And the sexy fender flare.

And my rough idea for Bee is something like this:

Emm, where can I find the front spoiler and the duck tail eh? Looks good on a yellow 808, in this case; its RX-3.

What is Play House?

The back entrance.

Somewhere last year in September, 4 persons been toying around with the idea of owning 1 garage to store their cars and some restoration works. After scouting around for location and logistic, they have come to a conclusion to turn 'kawasan perindustrian usj 1' as the center for the garage

The business actually stem from hobby and love towards retro Japanese cars.Coz most workshop generalize on body repair, not to say they don't do the car justice just that we believe, with passion and focus on one genre, we can up the quality by 1 notch, to make it even better.


The shop concept?

As simple as "from a friend to a friend". Something like, hanging out at PLAYHOUSE and discuss new ideas,and do some custom works that possible .

And without delaying much further, I will just let the pic to do the talking.

Im starting to love old schools wagon.

We were greeted by Megat @ kacak_embun.
