Ralliart Reservoir Tank Cover

Hey guys.
During hard driving, let say in track, drag or touge, there is a chance our brake/clutch/power steering may leak fluids. So to stop this from happening, we can install 'reservoir tank cover'. It also happens to me so after window shopping to all of performance parts shop to get good deal on this cover, i managed to find reservoir tank cover produced by Ralliart. Pictures below.





The reservoir tank cover not only protect our engine bay from leaks but it will also dramatically enhance our engine bay appearance XD.I think that's my main reason actually XD. As you can see from the pictures above, i bought two covers. One for brake reservoir tank and the other one is for my power steering reservoir tank.

Regards.

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi



The world's first ferrari theme park - Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is set to open in october 2010. Announced as 'an intense multi-sensory experience and a must-visit for enthusiasts, fans and families'. The park pays tribute to the passion, excellence, performance, technical innovation that ferrari has established over the years and represents today. Its iconic sleek red roof is directly influenced by the classic double curve side profile of the ferrari gt body, spanning 200,000 m2 and carrying
the largest ferrari logo ever created.

Ferrari world abu dhabi will host a number of attractions, including rides for children of all ages, providing the complete ferrari experience: over 20 state-of-the-art attractions, each designed to bring to life a different part of the ferrari story, including the world’s fastest rollercoaster, travelling at speeds exceeding 200 km/h and emulating the thrilling sensation of being in a ferrari f1 car, or the g-force experience taking passengers on an adrenaline-pumping ride up over 62 m, through the roof and back down again.

The park is located on yas island - set to become a global tourist destination with a wide range of accommodation and entertainment facilities - on the north east side of abu dhabi ’s mainland. Abu Dhabi , at the crossroads between europe, asia and africa, was chosen as the ideal location to build the ferrari theme park, motor sports being extremely popular in the united arab emirates.

R3 Stage 3 Header

Hi guys!
Since i'm running on a new setup, i also thinking to redo back my exhaust system. Last 3-4 days ago, i managed to get a 'used' R3 Stage 3 header which i found when i surfed online market to replace my Hotbits 4-2-1 header. After finished dealing with the seller, i straight away bought it as the price fit my budget and other than that, R3 department has stop the production of this kind of header, so i can say that this header is quite a rare item. Picture below.

pix before i clean it with Autosol

looks almost like Mugen 4-1 header

After a few runs with the new header, i can say that this header is quite good. Most people said that this 4-1 header will make bad low end power, but thank god i didnt spot any decrease in low end power. It gives a very good mid range power and superb high end power especially after MIVEC kicks in! Badass sound! I kinda like it very much.

The only thing that i hate about this header is the header runner is quite long, below the oil sump, meaning that the clearance with the ground is not so good. Not really appropriate to use on the road in my country which have a lot of speedbumps. Really scare it will bent! Hope it will not. If thats happen, than i have to find another one :(

regards!

The Finale : MIVEC 1.8 Hybrid

Hi guys!

As i promised in the last two post, here is the picture of my engine bay. Introducing new heart for my ride, MIVEC 1.8



After a week of testing this setup, the car behave just like what i have wanted for this daily driven car. Power below 5000 RPm is just like any other 1.8 vvt (maybe better) but the power when the MIVEC kicks in ( 5200 PRM ) is veryyyyyyyyyy orgasmic all the way to rev cut ( 8200 RPM ). Really love the sound of the MIVEC crossover. I'M LOVING IT!!!

For the time being i planned to let it stock. Hmm... but i think not for so long. LOL. Really into engine modification. Maybe it is in my blood already. LOL. But one thing for sure i want to unleash the power without have to put in any performance high camshaft first. Wanna see how far this 'stock' 2 in 1 camshaft can do with add-on parts =)

All i wanna do now are to find new header & adjustable camshaft pulley. Gonna start saving up. Parts for MIVEC ain't cheap. I think ,most MIVEC users can understand what i meant. Hehe.
