Ipoh to KL.

What happened to me on Monday..

2pm - Went to JPJ to renew my road tax.
3pm - Done with JPJ thingy and Im on my way to Pudu to take a bus to Ipoh.
4pm - Reached and by 4.30pm Im on the bus.
8pm - Arrived in Ipoh. Wan Dreamers Vault pick me up and we went to his house.
10pm - Im808 arrived and he picked me up to Sungai Siput which is around 40km away from Ipoh.
11pm - Arrived at his house, get a few things fixed up and the car is ready! Yay. Im808 brief me up bout the car.

12am - Its Tuesday, and Im ready to go back to KL. Will took me 200km to reach KL.
3am - I am 70km away to reach KL and suddenly the car break down. No lights, no rev, nothing. Fuel pump and electric fan is out. I panicked and park the car on the roadside. Its dark, there's no car nearby and Im alone. Muahaha.
3.30am - Called the PLUS Peronda and they arrived. Towed me to the nearest R&R and I slept in the car till morning.
7am - A highway foreman came and try to fix and he blame the wiring for the failure of fuel pump and electric fan. He fixed it and there's no spark in the distributor. He gave up and towed me to the nearest workshop.
9am - Arrived, went for my breakfast and wait for the foreman to come.
10am - They started to find the problem source and found out that the contact point already out and one fuse already blow. Hahaha. The first foreman didn't check out the fuse.
12pm - I'm on my way back to KL with a hope the car will not break down again.
2.30pm - Arrived! Safe and sound!

Total traveling time : 13 hours for 200km trip! One hell of experience.

Early in the morning. I noticed that Bee's rear end sits much lower than front now.


At the workshop..


No more holes.


And no more rain entering the car.


The harness that I bought the other day.


The DGAV Weber and the external fuel pump will be fitted in once I finished the first 1000km.


The wide fender. Touch up? Will do once the car is ready to be painted.


From the front. Wide..


How's the duck tail? OK or not?




And finally, the new engine.


So far so good. Super loud, high compression, and to me its powerful. A few minor problem and the car is good. It needs a new battery, a high speed starter and a proper wiring job. Will update from time to time. And its time for me to active in the blog again since I finished the semester already.

Temporarily Away.

Well, actually that is because I'm having my final examinations for this semester, and I am two more papers away from the semester break. Yay! Thinking of going somewhere with true 'friends' soon.

Anyway, a lot of stuffs happened when I was away. I'll try to hook up with the summary of what had happened currently. Just one thing for sure, you cannot trust your friend actually. Even your best friend. Hahaha. Oh, Bee will be back this Friday. More surprise from Im808 I guess. I mean, he didn't really tell me what had he done to Bee. He said "See for yourself soon."

I'll be back. Cheers!

Updates?

The engine is colorful. Im808 said more color surprise soon once the car is done.


Engine work, done. Already inside my Bee. Wiring job almost done. Anyway, how's the fitment?


2 more weeks perhaps. Urgh, so excited. Anyway, I'm looking for a paint shop that have good price and good workmanship. Can recommend one? It's time to give Bee a new skin.

Har Har Har.. Ness. part 2.

I'm busy! That's the reason the blog is left for a while. Anyway, I'm in my final week for my study time. And after that it will be another final examination again. Huhu. One more semester to go! Weee.

Anyway, met with Mr. Redzone today with his 808 wagon. I miss my 808. Damn~ And this wagon is up for sale. Maybe can drop me a comment if any of you are interested with the wagon.

Anyway, the point of seeing him is to get my new stuffs for my 808. And taraa. A set of harness again. And this time, its Cobra brand. Super colorful, like Google theme. Old school type I think. Anyway, how do I assemble and wear this harness? Its 4-point, but there's no buckle. Any idea?

And finally, saw this JDM goodness. Was having my dinner at Mali, and this car was looking for a parking space. Must be imported. Love this Civic! I think it must be imported from US, maybe.

Travellin' In Style..


Hahaha. Conclusion that I can made from this pic is.. Flatbed must be cheaper than towing at Ipoh. Maybe? Or is it becoz of the expired road tax? I'd noticed that the rear suspension is lower than front. Oh well, I miss the car so much. Apart from the sad case of breaking up, this is the one that cheer me up for now. Again, many thanks to Wan DV and the rest of the crew.

Body Work..

First of all, thanks to Wan DV of Retro Syndicate for the pictures. I'm guessing the car will be ready by another weekend. From this photos, the results is 'less ideal' than what I expected, or maybe I should wait till I pick up the car. Then maybe I can give some comments. Overall, the body job does make my car more 'beaten' looks. I guess its time for me to keep more money for paint job.

The fender had been aligned back and fitted again. Unfortunately the front fender didn't get the flaring job. Tsk tsk. I'll be using the wide flare back I guess.


And the rear fender got the 'wide' concept. Rims & tyres from Din. Thanks to him the car arrived in one piece.


Another rear shots.


The main problem of retro Mazda is water seeping inside the wiper area. Well, I hope this will last for a while.


Hey Ma, no more rusty holes on the far side!


For now.. I keep my comments first. And another things that make me laugh is Wan DV told me that Bee was traveling in 'style'! She's riding on a flat bed truck instead of being towed. Lol!
