Finally we manage to find S 15 tail lamp. The original tail lamps are actually quite new but they are a bit blah....so my car need a bit of a make over.

Before (with original tail lamp)
After (called Crystal Lights I think)

See the difference? Once I saw it in the shop, I was already drooling....hehe the same goes for Bi as well.

There are other things that I would like to change as well......

1. Front cushion covers (If I have the money, I would go for Recaro seats, replica of coz)

2. Front bumper. Its too low. Damn, every where I go, I have to worry and think ahead can my car actually go up on that hill? I know it kinda defeats the idea of a car....thats why I have to do something about this. Either I cut 2 inch off thee current bumper. Or I buy another one. Searched through the net for some ideas on which bumper is the best looking one.


Veilside Front Bumper

I like the design on both side of the bumper. But Bi pointed out to me that I'm gonna have the same problem as the current bumper. I guess so.....but then its damn nice la.

INGS front bumper

Ings....hmmm....I saw this at one of the shop here in Bandar. The boss said the lowest price that he can give me is B$550.00, inclusive of the paint and labour charges. This is a bit simple and not fierce. The boss said that this is his newest arrival. Hmmmm

C-west front bumper

C-west looks nice but then too many Silvia here are using c-west. So I dun think I wan this. I like the eye lid though.

Wave front bumper

This looks good. But then its also sweeping the road while driving. So this is only good for Silvias that for car shows....not very practical. But I like the head lamp.

The best that I had seen so far is this...........
I had downloaded the picture from car domain. This Silvia belongs to a guy in Osaka, Japan. I envy the people there.....they must have lots of choice to choose from. This bumper is actually Trial (same as mine) but this is another range called 'Tryforce'......check out his ride here. This is very satisfying. I wonder whether anyone carry this. I think I'll bring this and ask Kim Seng whether they can make a replica for me.

I'm looking for another body kit called 'Trust'. I wonder how it looks like.

3. Tyres

The tyres are nearly bald. I have to change it sooner or later. 18 inch tyres are very expensive. The cheapest is Nan Kang at about B$ 150++ per tyre. But then Kevin used Nan Kang and his tyre actually split. OMG!!! That is very dangerous. Westin intro Federal (Taiwanese brand, same as Nan Kang) Its also quite affordable at B$ 170++ with 15 months warranty as well. I was thinking of sticking with Bridgestones, which my other car with 17 inch rims are using, but the price is B$ 360++ per tyre......So much difference o. Sigh! I'll ask around for the best tyres and at an affordable price.

4. RSM meter

Not that I wanna change it. Just wanna move the rsm meter. It is making noises when its at the dash board.....

5. Sub woofer

I need sub woofer. Luckily the current speakers are not bad, Kenwood. I need the bass la....too used to it liaw. This is not that expensive....unless I decided to get a very high end one.

Currently, that's the list....dunno in the near future.

Finally, I have some time and good light to take pictures of my Silvia. Its not very good.....coz I was in a hurry. Hehehe. I'll take better shots next time.

There have been so many instances where I came by my blog and I want to blog about so many things in my life. But there were also as many instances where I just gave up and kept my thoughts to myself. I am 34 years old in 2017 and soon I will be another year older. I am getting more jaded every year because of the things that I have seen. I also feel aimless. I feel as if I am meant to do something more than this. I do not want to wake up and go to work Monday to Friday and so happy when its Friday and becoming depressed when its Sunday (coz the next day would be Monday) It's not like I want to be a millionaire or something like that. Even though money is still important (Hey, I still gotta eat, cant very well grow my own food), it no longer hold the same position as compared to a few years ago. I do not care very much for status as well. Its all so fleeting. After being married in 2013, I am still childless at the moment. Its not by design but I dun mind it all that m...

Unveiling

I was so excited yesterday. Someone called and told me that it was ready for pick up. What is ready for pick up? What makes me so excited? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What else would make me so excited other than cars? Woo Hoo!!!!! Subaru Impreze STi !!!! How cool is that? Bi fetched me yesterday around 5pm to pick up the car. I could not sit still at home. Was feeling so excited. STi has 3 settings, Intelligence, Sport and Sport Sharp. I read an article online saying that the Intelligence mode makes the STi crawls like a snail. Hmmmm, their exact words not mine. So Bi and me took the car out for a short drive. We were kinda disappointed with the power. It was then we realised that the setting was at intelligence. OMG!!!! When we changed the settings to Sport Sharp, the power is unbelievable. Its like 3 times faster and more powerful. We hit 180 km/h in less than 2 minutes (mite be less if not for those few turtles on the road). In the past S15 will need quite some time to hit 16...

After you by Jojo Moyes

After I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes  a few years ago, I was waiting for the sequel. What would happen to Lou after Will left? What would her life be? If I am Lou, I will constantly ask myself 'Why am I not enough?' 'Is there anything that I could have done to change his mind?' 'Was it all just me? Just in my mind?' In this sequel, Lou was a wreck! But it's understandable though, she had just lost the love of her life. She has lost someone who had shown her the different aspects of life. Showed her that the life she have had is so unbelievably small. There is so much more to live for. Showed her how she could have made a difference! I couldn't put the book down and I finished it within 1 and a half day. It was strangely compelling. You will be rooting get for Lou all the way. Although there are times that you can't help but get angry with her! 'What was she thinking??????' There was a part in the book that addresses the length of ti...
