Tyre Rotation

Went and did my tyre rotation yesterday. After finding a few tyre shops in Semenyih, finally decided to let the goodyear dealer do it for me. It was located on the busy street of Semenyih beside BHP. He looks honest and did a great job.

Rotation + balancing + allignment = RM30

After doing rotation and balancing, this shows on the screen when he was doing allignment settings. From it, he told me that my front tyres are a little bit toe in... He set both tyres to zero toe, and job done!
Toe in, means both of my front wheels are pointing inwards. Toe out means the tyres are pointing outwards. Toe in usually eats up the outer side of tyres, that explains why my front tyres are 'botak' on the outer part! To have minimum tyre wear and power loss, it is best to have zero toe. However, Toe in usually provides stability on straight line, and toe out usualy improves turn in at a corner.

So great, let's see what happens to my not-so-used-up rear tyres which are now at the front...

Anyway, I'm back to PH!!

Its Going to be FRIDAY !!

What's so special about this friday ? Its just like any other friday.. but this time is different ! Its a HOLIDAY !! A Public Holiday to be exact..

CNY days~

Been busy since I came back from Penang, gambling sessions, gatherings, and visitting relatives...

Relative's cute doggy... hyperactive dog... but my mum was scared of dogs, so, they put her on a sofa, which she didn't dare to jump down from the sofa... Look at her toungue!! Cute

Few gambling sessions held in Mok's house, a gathering at Cindy's place, and Jason's place last night. We all had fun, although some may lose money, and some may win, but it was in our own limit.
Outside Jason's house... pimped-up Myvi was the centre of attention...
Led's all over, powerful sound system, 205/40/17 tyres wrapped on expensive limited edition rims ( look at the difference of the front and rear rims.), and the white head lamps, which are switchable to yellow lights.

And there was a beautiful waja with white lights behind the Myvi, Alwyn's Jazz, and my Savvy in the picture, Daryl drove there too, with his recovered Saga lmst. It was a great night, and I reached home 4am, got scolded... and went to sleep immediately after my bath, felt so sick!

Today woke up at 2pm, and didn't feel good too, took another nap at 5pm-8pm... finnally felt better, and now I'm back to Semenyih, time to go back to the healthy lifestyle, and breathe the fresh air of jungle!

Check my tyre after I reached Semenyih... and saw this!
Left front tyre... the thread on the side of the tyre was almost 'botak'
Compare to my right rear tyre, it's almost new! Shocked! This could be dangerous, plan to do a tyre rotation anytime soon.

Time to sleep, good night!

First time to Kuala Kelawang!

Thought there is tutorial class today, mana tau, drive all the way there, my tutor said changed to other day. Tulan.. however, he did give me back my results. and it was average. 60 for maths, 66 for mechanics of solids, and 68 for mid term thermodynamics. Kind of sad, drove for 40 mins there, and got 2 bad news. So, I thought since I'm here already, why not do something before I head home...
Total distance: 114km
Time taken: 1 hour 51 mins.. according to google map.

The whole route was satisfying..

Started from my university, head down to Broga, follow the way to seremban, until it says Kuala Kelawang turn left. Took the left turn and beautiful road started with a steep hill, followed by a wide 4 lanes road which I don't understand, and a beautiful 5 series was following behind me. Continue to follow Kuala Kelawang on the sign board, until I reached the town, then turn left to titi. The road was beautiful after that, I drove all the way until semenyih dam with enjoyment, it was really beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn't take the 'D' road (near the word jelebu on the map)..

Such a fun car to drive on these roads.

Park beside the road immediately once I see the beautiful view of semenyih dam.
It was huge. It's impossible to see the whole dam from just 1 point. It seems endless.
Beauty of nature!
Look at the mountains!
Another picture of my car. Looks weird with the censored plat number. Didn't have time to edit, rushing to gamble ;)
Satisfying drive! And I saw alot of racers there too, in the opposite direction though :)

Will get back there soon!! I wanna get my handphone holder! And get some videos! Anyone know where to buy?

Happy Tiger Year!!

Happy CNY!

Went back to Penang for CNY again. This time, we support the Plus highway 10%+10% discount on tolls. My brother left Johor 7+pm and reached house 11+pm, I woke up from my good sleep, packed our things, and head to Penang after 12am.

It was my first time driving in the middle of the night to Penang, and it was a good experience. Traffic was smooth at night, despite of the number of lorrys on the highway at night. There were so many lorrys stopping at the rest areas, and were on the road too, overtaking them is sometimes scary because of their size. To make a safe overtake, I always observe the driving style of the lorry drivers, make sure they are not sleeping, let them know that I'm overtaking, and make it fast..

Another good thing about night driving is no speed traps. Just drive at your comfortable speed. But always be alert as there are many dangerous racers out there, so always look at your mirrors! Another thing is our high beam, do not be selfish, turn it off when there are other cars opposite, or in front of you.

View of a fishing village in Sg Petani. Belongs to my uncle. Those trees are Hutan Paya, what we learnt in Geography :)
Fisihing boats, and this is the river mouth
My dad's car, and uncle's volvo. Those trolleys are used to bring the anchovies to the oven. Let it dry, then store it in a cold room. Wihout oven, they'll have to put it under the sun until it dries up.
Engine for the fishing boats!
Fish nets... and the floats.
Toilet! When you shit, your shit will fall to the ground, when the tide comes, the fishes will eat them! They love it! Yuks!


Came back home 2 days ago, and look at the jam! Whole journey from penang to PH took 6.5 hours. For the 1st time, I feel my right leg sore in a traffic jam.

Ciao!

What a great weekend!

Night view of Putra heights.

Peaceful saturday night out. Usually, saturday nights, people would go clubbing, drinking, and stuff like that... but, we lifeless bunch, decided to pay a visit to this beautiful park at Putra Avenue. Look at the reflection of street lights on the lake. Perfect view of a lake, and the PH hill was mesmerizing!

1st impression of Alwyn, and his car... with a souped up audio system inside. BOOM BOOM POW!!
Futsal friday night.

It's been a long time since I play late night futsal. This time, it's a fun one. There were total of 3 cars present. 1st car in the picture, Jere's facelifted Myvi, 2nd is what i drive there, Myvi 1st gen, and the 3rd car is Alwyn's Jazz.

What I can say about Myvi is.. it's a great car! It feels confortable, the engine is good, spacious, comfort suspensions, easy to drive, good looking... and good value for money!

The thing I like most about Myvi's are the low end torque of the engine which peaks at 3200 rpm, with 116Nm of torque. It's a good figure compare to Proton Savvy's 105Nm @ 4250 rpm. This makes the Myvi more responsive at low rpm's, and a better feel of acceleration from rest.

Another thing I like about Myvi is the steering, it feels very soft, usual turns and U turns in the city, feels easy with Myvi's steering. It's soft and light, the surface is grippy, which makes you want to just make a U turn with one hand. However, the steering is too soft that it provides less information to you on corners, you can't even feel the grip of the tyre, which makes it scary at high speed corners.

Comfortable ride of Myvi, I believe this is the main reason people buy Myvi. you just feel so small, and slim in a Myvi. Extra size space and headroom makes you feel like dancing in the car :D hands up and dance at the club song on the radio, you can do that in a Myvi. Soft and comfort tuned suspension, this is good in Malaysia where potholes are everywhere, and if you don't like to stop for humps, buy this car. However the soft tuned suspension totally sacrifice the handling ability of the car. Body roll of the car is annoying, even at low speeds. What I recommend is a bigger size rims and lowered suspension, I think this should help the car to corner.

Well, add this all up, and you'll feel easy to drive this car. It's almost effortless, just brake hard before corners, so that you don't scare your girlfriends ;)
