Focus shift...

Yup, focus has shifted momentarily to my ole junk. And yup, dat's my car! Need to take care of it well cos that practically are my legs....oops...my wheels...hehe...

Abt a week or so ago, me did a general service of the car. The engine oil & oil filter were replaced with new ones. An engine protector & performance enhancement additive, Bardahl 1, was added. The air filter was replaced, too. The OCT (Oil Catch Tank) that me added some time back was re-routed for better access & the fuel filter used was replaced.

On further inspection, the mess at the positive terminal of the battery appeared to need some sense of order. So a special fused Distribution Box was purchased & installed. Now all additionally-installed accessories (spotlights, horn, upgraded headlights) drawing power from the battery, are receiving their power source from the new DB. Neat now, huh?

After installing the Amplifier, it was felt that to complement the system, a more compatible Voltage Stabilizer was appropriate. The old one, a Zaptor Silver, was for a std car with no ICE. ICE, by the way, stands for In-Car Entertainment. And now, that my car has a minimal ICE system, it makes sense that the enhanced model, the Zaptor Gold, should be next in line.

An order was placed on Thurs 25 Oct. Payment (RM100 incl Poslaju charges) was made via electronic fund transfer. Confirmed on 26th and received on 27th. Also installed on 27th afternoon. Here it is...

All these are small but affordable mods. And, besides improving the overall appearance, functions of the car, they have also made noticeable differences in our radio & music listening pleasure when on the move. In our car, of course!

Now...I wonder what I should do next...

To complement this entry, retirees of former SMKH staff & friends held their Annual Dinner 2007 @ Crystal Phoenix Restaurant on Fri 26th Oct. A great time was had for one & all to meet, update & compare notes on the past year's events. Many new faces were seen for the 1st time. A lucky draw was also held. Sponsors for drinks, gifts & prizes were aplenty. No one went home empty-handed. A couple of pics to share...esp of new faces. Part of the 6 tables present...a great re-union...

Have a great new year, my friends! Till we meet again...
