wheel spacers.

I’ve got positive and negative remarks on using wheel spacers. I’ve got a perhaps 5mm-8mm spacers on my rear wheels. Some of them neorians were saying it was a bad choice (due to experience) and knowing myself; accident-prone and unlucky 99% of the time.. im wondering whether should i remove it or not.

Although i actually do like the wider stability of the car, the more drag car look, more ganas having the rear wheels a little out.. etc lazy to put into detail..

but i’m also constantly driving fast when i have the chance to and love corners… touges … etc u get the drift

but am also concerned on safety measures.. long term maintainence, afraid bearing rosak, lug nuts kantoi canot screw back, wheel cabut, etc etc etc  ..

so car enthusiasts out there.. let me know if you have any ideas.. experience etc.. whether it’s a good move or not to place them spacers on my rear.

the drive up kuala kelawang. I missed the chance to go there yesterday.. but hopefully i get to drive on this road one day. Apparently its very dangerous and have to be extra careful etc..  but these kinda challenges makes me even more semangat to drive. 

I love the genting sempah route. It’s scary to drive there at night because of the.. “possibility” or seeing things that you dont wanna see, but at the same time it’s really challenging to go through those blinding corners in the dark without knowing whats ahead unless if you’ve driven on that route like 100 times. but still..

i love the very feeling of neos park side by side with each other. It makes me know that im not alone out there.. not the only one loving my ride; satria neo. :D. But then again, it’s only a car. I have to put that in my head everytime because of past incidents.

anyhoos.

here are some of my next few plans for my car. :)

1. spoilers. i dont know about others but since young.. i love the idea of spoilers. the more ridiculous it is.. the more ganas and crazy it makes the car look. But for my ride.. i like the desire spoiler spotted on Proton showrooms which is a little more ganas than the r3 ones. The r3 ones were quite plain i think. and too many neos are using it already anyway. not special. 

2. front splitters.

Am only going for aesthetic rather than performance for now in order not to void any warranty from Proton, you know how it goes with them. bleh.

alrighty. too much crap on a monday morning. laters.

This has got to be the craziest weekend.

Can you spot what’s different with my car?

haha. first up spent 2 hours and wasted my time talking with a cocky salesman. Then TT-ed with the car club SNC and in a split second drove up to genting using the ulu yam route and spend some chilling time up there drinking coffee continously to support my sleepy eyes and then got stopped by a police because maybe i look underaged and derived from sleep and then drove back down KL using the creepy genting sempah road at 4am in the morning and passing by granny crossing creepy trees and blinding corners.. and lastly reaching home in broad daylight only to wakeup first thing the next morning to service my lovely car, hohoho, at the best service centre in the world *if you dont know this little pinch of sarcasm pls proceed to laugh at yourself for a while*, and then off to a snow wash but the weather bailed me halfway and i washed my car for nothing T.T… and then off to cheras for a little famous pan mee breakkie and off hunting for some bling for my lovely neo. hunt hunt hunt… then got an sms asking where i am and why am i not there yet. wtf. totally forgotten that i have made an earlier appointment i tel ya my times are so screwed and mixed up. halted my shoe searching enthusiasm and drove back to kl to meet a friend and then off back to cheras in the rain but dint continue shoe searching there because it was a major dissapointment instead i went straight to get my stickkies done. wee hoo.. now my car dont look naked on the right side anymore. :):):). initially wanted to just throw the flames away and just go for red racing stripes but i really still do love the flames and was thinking of getting matching white rims to complete the whole TFTF look. After 3 hours waiting for the whole process, gosh dont know why it always takes so long, drove back to kl but this time i wasnt ready to go home yet due to the sadness and dissatisfaction that i cant find any worthy rims and tyres to go along with my ride so i stopped by at melawati’s huge ass shop lots arena with bridgestone, goodyear, yokohama, dunlop, stamford tyre service centres bigass enough for me to spot them from mrr2 and drove there immediately… only to be caught on a bazaar ramadhan, damn, and the worse place to be in and all the rims where ugly and the prices were ridiculous and they dont have any of the tyres that i wanted. hmmppff. drove back in dissapointment but was still eager for some car accesories shopping so i drop by brothers but before that i spotted a shop with yummy looking rims so i drove there instead and in a split second changed shoes for my ride weehoo love em 5 spokes advanti or i called it STARIM!!! *gedit gedit gedit?* It doesnt really matched my white flames but its ok because the flames will go off in maybe a year’s time from now and then it’s back to basic red racing stripes. hahaa. it’s the best shop to have your tyres and rims changed, i shall blog more in depth about this later because im zonked out currently cant go so much into details. anyhoo, after that whole shoe changing i drove back to brothers to tint my car. haha. dont ask me why all of a sudden so many thing is done to my car but yeah i just felt like it so i drove there lah. only 2-3 shops away anyway. anyhoo, again the salesman were super duper cocky and the last thing i would do when shopping is to buy from some stupid-cocky-think-he-knows-everything-if-you-want-you-buy-else-dont-waste-my-time kinda salesman. also managed to scout for the infamous r3 spoiler but at a hefty price from brothers but ahs.. i shall be back soon to talk to someone else instead of that salesman. by that time it was night already and its still raining cats and dogs and i drove home in an empty stomach, hungry like shiet and with an urge to pee badly. drove home but they blocked the route back to my apmt WTF and i end up in a jam IN FRONT OF MY CONDO WTF… wtf wtf wtf.. cant express how furious i am but yars.. i am short tempered like that so i wind down my window and ask them polices wtf happened and then they say it’s temporary wtf then how am i suposed to go back home like that it’s just 2 car away from my apmt wtf.. then waited waited waited and wanting to pee like shit.. after half an hour i manage to reach home safely and while i was super duper eager to take a picture of my car my bladder says otherwise and almost exploded so i ran back home for the biggest business ever done yesterday. was suposed to wake up early morning today for a drive to kuala kelawang but i slept like a pig, drained from whatever energy i have left and i tell ya.. my apointments today is even crazier than yesterday. gosh. y like this..

phew.

thats how my weekend fly by.

laters.

starim!!!!

Just so happen that my monday started off quite bad. The LRT had some congestion and railway problem and i was stuck in the crampiest train ever and to make things worse, the lady behind me was pushing me towards the door as if she was the only person in the whole train feeling uncomfortable. We were at a stop for more than 5 minutes in Jelatek station and because everyone is packed in the train like that, the lady started pushing me with her back and my shirt started to become wet due to sweat and obviously, her pushing and shoving and making *tsk tsk* mutters under her breathe. I was telling myself repeatedly to be patient and not go to her level, and kept coughing BITCH and having it play like a tape in my head. 

bitch.
