Yesterday, i was hanging out with my mech, JAPAQ autowork. It's been a year and a half since i met him. Since i seldom seen him, i hear rumors him turboed (am i spellint it right? haha) my friend's 92 sohc and install a new zealand 93 on another Wira hatchback, also a childhood friend of mine. The rest are RVR's from Kampar and other neighbouring states and cities.It's so hard to see him nowadays because he's into this new phenomenal business called " the runner boy and chop shop items." hehe. he runs a mini halfcut now and guys,if you ever need an item and lives here in perak, i strongly suggest his garage especially if you blow your gearbox coz i tripped twice today because of the gearbox that are scattering on his garage like garbage, if you know what i mean.
To be honest, yesterday was the most frustrating day of my life owning my car. I just bought a new unit of AFC neo, i mean the new design at racing fit auto at sunway. I was like buat -buat terkejut (shocked) when the taukeh's said " this unit is RM 1650." i asked for the older version but you know businessmen, haha... So with the help of my friend, i successfully installed the AFC without any problems and contact my friend Jeff from Teluk Intan for the initial hotwire and pressure setting and so on. The day after that i gave it a decent on road self setting without wideband and we were almost close to get the optimum setting (at least according to my ears and the colour of the plugs) when i think that that the cam pulley setting should be retard 1 degree on the exhaust. So i place a piece of cloth under the cam pulley, near the timing belt, in fear of the allan key might get into the timing belt and the water pump gears. As we were setting and talking, the setting had been done and so Apis, my friend even ask me if i checked everything and i said "yeah." he closed the hood and i tested the high revving rpm again. You know what, that piece of darn cloth got sucked into my timing belt pulley and jammed everything. While i'm writing , i didnt even know how many valves got broke, but one thing for sure, it cost me RM 220.00 for the timing belt because it's a 159yu29 timing belt (evo 9) and RM 68.00 for the water pump ( i didnt even pay in full yet), RM 120.00 + RM 50.00 for the towing...Sucks.. I just spend RM 1800.00 for a new set of those lame Mines low high soft hard absorber, RM 1650 for the AFC neo and RM 1500 for a new paint. For sure, i'm broke. I spend money i dont have dude..money that i dont have.
So that is why i ended up back to basics, where it all starts..JAPAQ Autowork..hehe...That's where he asked me " hang nak buat spec cam mana?" ( what spec do you want)? This time, he suggest me to higher my gasket and just play around 16 to 17 bar of pressure. I asked why? He said that ron 95 nowadays are like shit. Feels like ron 92's and even if you get all excited with the 20 bar of compression inside, would it be worth it? he asked me if " can you stand to buy 114 Ron fuel?" Would I dyno on ron 95 or 97? would it be sweet to hear pre knocking sounds in the afternoon? Or would i sacrifice and retard the timing on the distributor to clear away those knocking sounds... i said to him, go find the valves first. I think he thinks it's easy to find those mivec valves..mati la....aiiiyyaaaa!!!!
