Toll going up by 5 percent on 1st March 2009
The latest news...
In Malaysiakini ..
Toll hike for 5 highways on Sunday
Feb 26, 09 12:17pm
The toll rates for five highways - North-South Expressway, Sprint Highway, Ampang Elevated Highway, Sungai Besi Highway, New Pantai Expressway - will go up this Sunday.
I used to travel back to Ipoh, the old toll rates as below
Entry plaza : Jalan Duta (JLD)
Exit plaza : Simpang Pulai (SPP)
(Class 1) : RM 24.80
Distance : 182.5km
With new toll rates, it will be RM26.04..rounded to RM26.05. This means I'm paying RM1 = 7km compare to old rates of RM1 = 7.35km. Presently my car FC is 650km for 50L petrol on highway drive, with current petrol price of RM1.80 per litre, this equalls to RM90 petrol for 650km drive, that is RM1= 7.2km distance.Its an expensive drive on PLUS highway.Petrol price nor going down but likely increase on RON97 once new RON95 is introduce. So we are trap in the middle..
When are toll hike going to end. Already my monthly PCB tax has increase not because of new salary but new rules from our Income Tax office.The Goverment should buy off all the toll consession in order to help the rakyat. ...too many toll for such a small country.

Black Elantra X20 with Incus Bodykit
To fixed or not to fixed on my ride...I still cant decide..anyway here is how it looks like with bodykit...will be nicer if KB throws in with 17" rim and lower the ride a bit.
Detailling your car...what is that?
Yes..detailling is not just shampoo and washing your car. Its a step further for car lovers that wants their car paint to be different..shineer,brighter,cleaner,long lasting shine, none or less scratch on the car paint,maintain showroom shine and admire by others.
Detailling hall
So that is why I attended a talk organise by THM CLUB at Pro Detailler. The talk was given by the owner..Mr Albert Low.
Those attended
Some of the polish and wax on display
Detailling hall
You think human only need tiger balm to ease your dizzy head ..think again !
Some of his tools used during detailling.
We park just beside his shop
Overall...it was an eye opener. So many question was ask till 7.30pm...I can bet you...this kind of talk you cant get it anywhere but Albert was willing to share his knowledge...very valuable knowledge.

Robbery
I would like to share this incident that happened to my friend. He was driving the Hyundai X20.
***************************************************************************
Hi all,Here is a scary experience I encountered last week Thursday night at about 11pm. My wife and me was on our way home after our band practice and suddenly a bike hit me on the left side while I was turning left up the fly-over from Mines shopping mall heading towards to South City Plaza, Seri Kembangan. The bike was carrying two people, husband and wife and after hitting me they briefly lost control of the bike but managed stop completely at the side of the road without falling. I stopped for a while to make sure no one fell off and then I moved forward a little to stop by the side as there were many cars coming from my rear, I could see the rider swearing at me when I moved forward a little to stop properly. I got down and checked my car and could not really see the damage on my X20 as it was dark. The rider came towards me with his wife following behind and immediately started shouting at me and accusing me of hitting him. I was shocked as I did not intentionally hit him and at the same time I was turning left carefully and slowly and he was not in front of me nor at the side of me. I feel he was overtaking me on the left side by speeding through and hence he hit me. Anyway.. correct me if I am wrong, if you want to overtake anyone, whether it is bike or car it should be on the right side… correct?Well, I tried justifying myself to him but my anger increased as he was not talking sense… at that time I smell alcohol from his breath and he was getting really violent and he nearly took a swing with his helmet on me… I quickly calmed down and let him scold me. Then he told me to call my ‘tai kor’ of the area and I told him I don’t have one. He said he has called his friends already…. So I told him that since your bike is damage and my car is damaged then let’s settle it individually.. he then raised his voice again saying whether I want to settle this long or short (I think what he meant is whether I want it the hard way or the easy way) So I said, “how much you want?” he told me RM200. I then quickly stalled and started looking around and I asked him to start his bike to make sure that it is damage but he refused to do it saying it is not working anymore…. Next thing I know, 10 bikes came and surround us. At this point I realized I am dealing with Rempits!!!! (Bike Gangsters) … immediately one of this biker (also with alcohol influence) came at me with his helmet shouting that I hit his friend and immediately I shouted at his friend that this is not your problem, it is between me and him… so immediately the biker calm down but still shouting and threatening to whack my X20 windows…. At this point I was scared but angry as this whole incident was not my fault and I am at a disadvantage situation. I was also concern for my wife safety as she was inside the car panicking…. Also I told myself not to anger them or make the first move or else they have the green light to whack me… Then I decided to give whatever I have to the guy and I showed him I had only RM80… immediately the guy ask me to go to the nearest ATM to take money and said he will follow me in the car. Damn!! This not good … so I continue to stall them and asked my wife for some extra cash.. thank goodness my wife had another RM150.. so I reluctantly gave it to the guy… and then I forced myself to give that guy a handshake… and a stupid pat on his back and warned him not to use the money on alcohol or drugs…After that.. all the bikes left and I quickly got into my car and drove off. Well, a lesson I learned during this ordeal, I could have won that night battle without paying anything by going straight to the police but these guys would track my car on another day and whack me and the car… so… I felt that I don’t have enough security with the police… hence I decided to forgo RM200…

Carbon Fibre Shark Fin
I bought this for RM120.00...yeah.. I know I know no more poison stuff...but this stuff looks really good. There is a small hole at the bottom of the shark fin for the protruding antenna pole.
It can be fitted to both Matrix and my X20..hmm..have to think and decide now ...

A new Boshmann subwoofer speaker !!
My old Alpine SWD-2000 active subwoofer speaker gave up after 3 year in service. I know you can glue it..but..well after 3 years..better look for better speaker right.
I have been in - out few shops searching for an 8 inch subwoofer speakers and most retailer says 8 inch subs are very difficult to get as mostly available in the market are 10 inch and above. Even Alpine has stop producing 8 inch speaker.
So today I just try my luck at a shop in Danau Kota..an authorize Alpine retailer. So happen he has an 8 inch subwoofer BM Boschmann with double magnet and single coil..looks good..RM280 per piece...hey not bad right!..if you ask me what is "double magnet"...the magnet at based of the speaker..normally 1 pc but instead it comes with 2 pcs..the seller say..its like having 2pcs subwoofer...thats sound powerful..right!..for just RM280. They also have single magnet and single coil subwoofer from the same brand...its all depends weather my Alpine SWD-2000 can fit in or not.
How unfortunate... I have to opt for BM Boschmann single magnet and single coil but any how its far better than the old speaker.
BM Boschmann V-8MT spec:
Instantaneous maximum input: 300W, Rated Input: 150W, Frequency response: 40 ~ 2000Hz, sound pressure level: 93dB, Impedance: 4Ω, Weight: 2.5kg
Old subwoofer speaker spec:
• 350W Peak Power• Frequency Response: 50Hz-200Hz (-24dB/oct.)• 8" (20cm) Cone Woofer
Getting ready to install the new speakers....the new speaker has 8 screw holes compare to the old speaker that has only 6 screw holes....small problem..make additional more holes lah!
Completed and assembled at the back seat of my Hyundai Matrix! The cost..RM120.00
This is the box...looks old but I think the seller has been keeping this item for quiet sometime as I have difficult time searching for this product over the internet and even on its own website.
Anyway let see how long does this RM120.00 subwoofer speaker can last and Im happy to retained the original subwoofer box..
