All new Daihatsu Xenia

All new Toyota Veloz

Here’s how the collaboration works:

• 🏗️ Platform Sharing: The Alza shares its underpinnings with the Toyota Veloz and Daihatsu Xenia, all built on the DNGA platform.

• 🚘 Design & Features: While the core structure and mechanicals are common, Perodua localized the styling, equipment levels, and pricing to suit Malaysian buyers.

• 🔧 Manufacturing: The Alza is assembled by Perodua in Malaysia, with adaptations for local regulations and customer preferences.

So, it’s not just a rebadge — Perodua actively participated in tailoring the Alza for Malaysia, but the DNA is shared with Daihatsu and Toyota.

New Year 2023

Happy new year guys! 

Well, since my racecraft carbon fiber hood condition is quite bad, so I decided to install back my stock hood to my satria. Will send the carbon fiber hood for refurbish when I have the budget. By the way, do you have contacts for shop which can provide carbon fiber refurbish service? if yes do share in the comment section.

            look at that CF hood condition 😅

                   same old brand new you?

Been keeping this stock hood in my store for a out 12 years if I remember correctly 😅 So much different in weight if compare to my carbon fiber hood🤣

On the other hand, not much update on the car but I just changed my car aircond compressor and replace the faulty FICD when i sent the car for engine oil change. Now the car feel much better when idling everytime I turn on the air conditioning. What to do, running with aircond is a must in our climate 😝

Mitsubishi Colt 4G92 Mivec 200HP

Hi Guys!

Found this awesome video of Mitsubishi Mirage Cyborg R from the net. Such an awesome build and this kind of modification never fails to amaze me. Apart from clean sporty looks, the engine bay is such candy to the eyes. 

The language in in Thai but no worries you can turn on the cc features for translation (even the translation is not perfect). Hope one day when I have budget, definitely will upgrade my Proton Satria to be as cool as the car.

See you guys in the next post!

Fujiwara Tofu Shop in Malaysia?

Hi Guys!

Hope all of you are doing fine. Last year on December, Me and my family went to Ipoh (Malaysia) for a short vacation to celebrate our baby first year birthday. During the stay, I found a Japanese restaurant with "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" theme from Initial D when I went for sightseeing around the city . Some pictures below:

Not sure on licensing or whatever reason, the shop name is change from Tofu to Tofa 😅. On the other hand, heard the news that there is also newly launch Fujiwara Tofu Shop themed restaurant open in Selangor, Malaysia. Will definitely pay a visit if I got the chance. Till then, See you in the next post!
