Short Review (14 May 2011):
Noticed that I got a smoother and slightly faster REV
Due to the faulty water temp reading. Aron drop by Mech Chin's workshop.
After all the checking, the water temp sensor is working fine!!
but
it didnt overheat either......
must be something between the sensor and gauge went wrong....
by the way, after refilling the water....brown bubble keep coming out from the radiator...........
Mech Chin says, this is because the gasket is slightly damage...
Arrive in town this week...
never thought of installing this lamp.....is this a dream?
Send for installation right away~
Done.
Gonna test test. XD
This is the hot topic between car enthusiast.
In my opinion, many of the used part are still in good condition, and also cheaper.
Price of new parts are few times more expensive.
What if my engine spoiled? Can I still get a NEW H22A DOHC VTEC Engine? Or pasang Campro?
What if I involve in accident? If my headlamp are broken, I can get few pair in chopshop now.
What are they expect Aron to do IF they banned importing used car part?
Modify to Proton Wira's headlamp?
Or, buy new? How much it gotta be?
Its easy, case of car stealing will increase due to lack of parts, and many people will lose their job.
What all this for?
Hope this will never happen.
If you read through my blog, then you will understand how important are the used parts for an old car, because:
1. Easy to find.
2. Cheaper.
3. Original.
Thanks to my fellow reader. =)
Chopshop in Kepong gave Aron a call this morning, saying that got 1 unit of fuel and water temp meter.
Item still attached to the halfcut.
Taking out from the halfcut....
Installed on me. Other parts will be install after we reach home. Aron went for class after that.
Reconnect the clock adjuster, and put in the visor, rubber trim, and the cover above the visor, and screw them back.
Like New!!
NGK
Remove the plate by using 10mm nut wrench.
Looks like this, just remove it and plug in the new 1.
Screw it back, DONE.
Since it doesnt show fuel and water temp, Aron decided to remove it, for the convenience to try out the meter while buying.
DIY style!!
First remove the tweeter cover, then remove the screw located above the gauge visor like picture below, there are 8 of them.
After that, take out the rubber trim below the visor, just pull it out will do.
Remove the visor that attach with the clock adjustable, remove the connector will do.
The fuel meter and water temp unit is there.
Remove the screw that hold it, 2 at the each side.
Remove the connector, 1 for clock, I'm not sure what is the middle unit for..., and the other 1 is for fuel meter.
Done.
Now the car like track car, until we found the meter.
Familiar red line.........something bad going to happen......
It really happened...........zzzzzzzz
After Aron finish his discussion with his group mate, he return to the car and saw a familiar plate on the ground, he go near and check, found that its my number plate.....and my front bumper was kena scratch by a car .
Deep scratch caused by the screw of the number plate bracket...ouch.....
Few clip bracket broken.....zzz
According to the placement of the bracket on the floor, the story should be...
" A driver is reversing his / her / it car, he didn't notice my number plate bracket is located in front of the bumper and thought he / she / it can make it without touching anything....after that, the fella ran away......"
Bought a TopFuel Power Chamber from Dylan.
Time to do something related to performance, muahaha.
Let the installation start !
DIY Style!!
Pop the hood.
Locate the clip that lock the original rubber hose with throttle body, loosen it and take out the hose.
While Aron is going to put in the TopFuel intake, he found that the converter hose that come along doesnt fit the throttle body....
So he went to buy another converter hose, the black 1.
Problem solved !
After 2 hrs.....
DONE!!
