Please do the coolant change after the engine is totally COOL DOWN to avoid injuries.

Decided to change the coolant, with kangen water provided by Charlie.

Item to prepare: 

Water

New Coolant

12mm T Bolt nut

Locate the drain bolt for radiator, it is at the bottom of radiator, if you look from above, there is where it located:

Remove the radiator cap and drain the old coolant, and locate the bleed bolt at the top of thermostat housing.

Loosen it.

After the old coolant being drained. Screw the drain bolt back to its original position. and start filling in new coolant, and mix with water until there is water coming out from bleed bolt, tighten the bleed bolt and continue to fill the water until it is full. Close the radiator cap.

Castrol EDGE

Bought 5 Quartz of Castrol EDGE from seller in forum.

He gave us a bottle of engine flush as free gift.

Sent to Mechanic Chin's workshop for oil change.

Sealed

Finally realize that HAMP oil filter always used on me for all these while.

Pouring in...

Pursuit of Stiff

Revisit Titan for servicing and upgrading, 10kg front aren't enough for Aron, so he decided to go up another level.

Removed rim.

 Removed absorber.

New spring for front.

Spring, front and rear. Found out only 6kg for the rear...

 Resemble absorber. 

Went home after that. 

Definitely stiffer, and 1 step closer to Aron's desire handling.

Rear Brake Pad

Weird grinding sound came out from rear brakes during reverse + braking.

Went to Mech Keong's workshop for examination. 

Prepare to take out the rim..

Rotor and brake pad....

 New brake pad for rear...

So far weird grinding sound is gone. =D

Happy 2013!

The legendary 2012 has gone. Now it is...

Yokohama A.Drive R1

Mechanic told Aron that wire mesh came out from my front rubber, went to tire shop to get a new front set.

My front set...holy shyt....

Boss suggested 2 brands to Aron, at the end Aron decided on this....

First Impression on R1:

Steering becomes lighter.....

Grip on dry road is great. 

Attack 90 degree 2 lane corner with 100kmh, tire screaming.

Haven't try on wet road yet.

Satisfying rubber !

Rolling

Got home 2 days ago, and the problem of water lost is gone. After skim my engine head....

Rolling on the street problem-free. I FEEL GOOOOOD~

by the way....VTEC sounds a bit different..........

Water Lost

Since the port and polished head swapped, there is a symptom every morning, which is spare tank overflow, but water level decreased in radiator.

Tried to bleed radiator, seek for leakage with pressure test, and change radiator cap, but no luck.

Sent into workshop, waiting for result.
