MP1A

Due to pressure given by family + failed to get manual conversion kit + halfcut expensive.

So Aron decided to go for the cheapest and fastest way to fix me:

Get an auto gearbox from chopshop, and swap with current gearbox.



Send to Mech Chin workshop, for swapping.

Aron came to collect me just now, need few days for testing......not for problem, but for performance, muahahaha, and the difference between MP0A and MP1A.
____

Difference between MP0A and MP1A:
Ratio :
- MP0A 4th gear, 100kmh @ 3k rpm, 3rd gear approximate 160kmh @ 7k rpm
- MP1A 4th gear, 110kmh @ 3k rpm, 3rd gear 176-178 kmh @ 7k rpm

Gearbox Down

Wonder why nowadays so many problem came out...my gearbox doesnt engage 3rd gear few days ago, and it totally not working when it is in D. It engage gear very slow, like you can feel every procedure....

Mech Chin do some basic stuff on me - Change the ATF. (even my ATF only done 10k km)


After the ATF change (might not because of ATF), it became worst, it doesnt move even Aron engaged D, he must give some gas so I will move slowly...

Aron must maintain under 10kmh, if not it will turn into neutral gear if he exceed the speed, and it stuck there until Aron restart me.

Took 20min to reach home.... have to choose a right way to deal with this problem......

Almost Got Stolen

11pm of 5th July.

Aron went to Palm Spring to look for his friend, and they went out for supper.

Return to me around 1:30am. My alarm activated, he thought he accidentally press it, so he deactivate it. He noticed my meter, all light up. After that, he check all my window, all in 1 piece.
He enter the me, saw that the in-car fuse box cover are opened, and the gear position is in N.

He put in the key, and trying to turn, but failed. He called Dylan after that, just for some idea to turn off the ignition. After 10 min of talking, Dylan decided to come and see what he can do....big thanks to him.


Aron call his parent. They arrived in 20 min, Aron's dad able to switch off the ignition, but only with the key plug in....end up the car cant be arm with alarm. So Aron overnight around me with his friend's companies.

3am to 9am.....what a suffering night....with a lot of mosquito....

Finally...9am....Mech Kong's worker is coming to save me and Aron.

He trying his best to start me up.


Battery not enough current, so Aron's friend is lending a hand.....


After a few tries, I finally started!!
Its good to have the engine running again =D
Drive to Mech Kong's shop immediately.



Need to get this fix. Went to chopshop, found another set of this.
And, Aron got a new key.


Original Prelude Key.


Moral of the Story:

- Avoid park at dark and quiet area for a long time
- Always left no valuable thing in your car.
