Cheap Fix : Starter Relay Kit

Hi!

After I changed from high speed starter to normal starter and relocated my battery from the hood to the trunk, I can feel that it is harder for me to crank the engine especially if I leave the car for more than a week without starting the engine.

At first it doesn't really a matter to me but after a while I think that I need to look for a solution. And one fine day, I came across with a Facebook post on starter relay kit and I think I should give it a try since it is not that expensive anyway and it is plug and play. Some pictures below on the kit:

a very neat wiring

DC 12V 80A relay

After the installation, I can straightaway feel the improvement. The engine now easier to crank. Feels like new maybe? HAHA... by the way I am  really happy that this cheap but worthy mod solve the problem. One word that I can express is "Satisfied"... and add another three words "Money well spent" 😆

By the way, for those interested, you can send message to the seller link HERE

Thank you guys and see you in the next post! 

Tomica & Hot Wheels DMC DeLorean from Back to the Future Trilogy

Hi Guys!

Anyone here a fan of Back to the Future Trilogy? I know you are 😆 and so do I! Still remember growing up watching this awesome Spielberg's movies. Well the story is about Dr Emmet L Brown and Marty McFly who travel back and to the future with their time machine (a upgraded DMC DeLorean) from 1985 → 1955 (Part 1), 1985 → 2015 → 1985 → 1955 (Part 2), and the last part from 1985 → 1885 → 1985. Why they travel to the future? Well for those who haven't watch the movie, you guy should! 😆

Well since I really love the movies, why not spend some money to collect the iconic machine (1:64 DeLorean diecast) from Tomica and Hot Wheels? 😁

HW SCREEN TIME 1/5 (Time Machine Hover Mode)

You can find this in Back to the Future Part 2 Movie. At that time, Dr Emmett Brown and Marty McFly use the car to travel to the future (2015 😅)

DMC DeLorean

Dream Tomica No. 146 DeLorean Part.3 (Released: March 17, 2018)

As always, the Tomica packaging is always the best.....

This model is seen on the third Back to the Future movie. At that time, They travelled to year 1885. 

Hot Wheels and Tomica DeLoren face off... Which is your favorite?

Both have good build material but from my opinion, Tomica is much more details.

Oh sweet.... Hope I can buy the actual car.... haha...

still waiting for flying car in 2021... 😆

Again the Hot Wheels packaging

and.... Tomica packaging.

the kid in me try to recreate the iconic scene.... hmmm... I should do better 😂

Well that's all for today post. Thank you for reading and see you in the next post! 

p/s: stay safe and stay at home during this covid 19 pandemic.

My Blue Shinkansen 2021

Need to repair my carbon fiber hood as the clear coat starts to peel off and faded. Collecting money for this project. hehe....

The heart of my Proton Satria: The 4g93 MIVEC. No major upgrade for the past few years, just replacing wear and tear to make the car running fine.

Current Engine Setup:

• Mitsubishi 4g92 MIVEC Cylinder head
• Mitsubishi 4g93 Engine Block upgraded with 82mm high compression piston and race bearing
• Matspeed 306in/304ex race camshaft with Aerospeed Adjustable camshaft pulley 
• MIVEC Blacktop ECU with Greddy Emanage piggyback ECU
• Skunk2 Intake Manifold with Super90 70mm Throttle Body + Mugen Airbox filter setup
• Cusco 4-2-1 Header with 2.3 inch piping follow original route with S-flow type muffler
• AVS 255 LPH fuel pump with Works Engineering adjustable fuel pressure regulator
• NGK R09 Power Cables with NGK BKR6E-11 spark plugs.
• Greddy 3 layer Aluminum radiator with Samco hoses.

Still keep the same engine setup since the engine rebuilt back in 2014. Just replacing my fuel pump from Walbro to AVS since the Walbro fuel pump gave me problem. Other than that, replacing the spark plugs from NGK Iriway to normal one... due to budget. hehe..... Might change to a better one later 👌

By the way, that's all for now. See you guys in the next post! 

Sus.Tec Bonnet Damper for Proton Satria

Hi Guys!

Few years back which I cant recalled when, I have already installed bonnet damper. If I remember correctly, I bought Komo bonnet damper. It was good but until one day, I took it off because it doesn't perform well anymore, maybe due to normal wear and tear. Since that, I have been using stock bonnet stand.

Last week as usual, when I start some online window shopping, I came across with an advertisement regarding bonnet damper. Without any delay, as usual, I clicked on "Buy" button. I bought Sus.Tec (Sustec) bonnet damper since the price is quite affordable and good review from other buyers.

the bonnet damper

love the color of the damper 😆

The installation is quite straightforward, You just need to unscrew those screw that I circle below. After that, you can start by install the damper on side at a time. Once done, tighten back the screws. Voila~ and the installation is completed! 

simple as ABC

At first, you might feel that your engine hood is quite hard but give it a bit of pressure and you might be able to close the hood. Its normal since the damper has is still new and has been sit for quite sometime in the box.

tadaaaa!

Gymkhana 2020: Travis Pastrana Takeover

Hi Guys!

Back in 2010, Travis Pastrana shocked the world with his world record for the longest rally car jump. You can view the video from my post that I wrote HERE in 2010.

This year, He again shows us his driving capability by starring in a new Hoonigan Gymkhana video. Previously, Ken Block was the one who is behind the wheel. What I really love about this video is Gymkhana 11 brings back the Subaru Impreza 😎

Hope you enjoy the video as much as I do 😆. That's all for now and see you in the next post!

Bosch Fanfare Horn

Hi guys!

Nothing much on today post but I would like to share other accessories that I bought for my ride. I don't know why but my horn suddenly cannot be used anymore so I have to drive the car without horn. At first I thought won't mind driving without car horn but actually horn is quite necessary specially when you need to inform that you have reached home (for example) or when other cars make mistakes such as sudden entry to the junction etc.

I bought Bosch Fanfare horn from online shopping due to good review and the price is reasonable. It comes in two horns (low and high tones) as picture below:

the packaging

what's inside the box

The installation is quite straight forward as my current setup already using two horns. So just plug and play 😆. If you can install it without have to take off your car bumper than you are lucky. If not, you will need to take it out 😅

twin turbo 😆 

The sound is quite loud but won't annoy your neighbors 😆. So it is a good buy for me. Glad that I chose this horn model. Affordably good stuff.

That's all for today post. Thank you for reading and a great day guys!
