Welcome To My Mind

Sport Wheels of my choice

2010-02-25T00:14:00.020+08:00

Yo! How's it going?

A little different than usual, yet, still related to cars.

This time, I'm going to talk about sport alloys which are suitable on certain cars.
For now, I am going to talk about 5 cars with their sport wheels.

Firstly:

MY BELOVED BABY TOURING
E61 BMW 5 Series M Sport Touring

**Isn't she just gorgeous?** ;)

Right-o. For this baby, I would put in a stylish patterned spoke sport rims, 19' or 20', Staggered (wider rear), Chrome.
Design preference: Savini forged, Vossen and TSW.
Examples as shown:
(Click to enlarge image)

Next up is also a BMW, my dream car and still my most favourite car up to date:

931's VERY OWN BABY BEEMER
E46 BMW 3 Series Coupe

**Formerly owned by 286..Haven't received any 931 pics from home**
I miss you, Baby HARTGE!!

I would just stick to the current alloy (M5 wheel replica). But before we even had this car, my ideal alloys were a staggered 5-Spoke Sport wheels (wider rear), 19', Chrome/Silver.
Design Preference: iForged, Dynamic Performance Engineering, TSW.
Samples as shown:
(Click to enlarge image)

Next, I might be driving this car one day,

MINI COOPER

This car, just put an 18' wheels. No ideal designs that I can think of. As long as the design is pretty, it'll fit this baby, for sure.
Design Preference: No preference
Samples:

**Hope she's considering this....You know who u are.....**

Next up, is also a 931's own.

OUR VERY FIRST MERCEDES BENZ
W202 MERCEDES BENZ C280

**Dad's precious continental ride** ;)
(I miss you, dad....And, of course, mum, as well...Missing you both..)

Soon to be:
W202 MERCEDES BENZ C280 AMG
*InsyaAllah*

**Dad's working on the kits...He's had a very good deal..Looking forward for the mod...**

(I don't mind subsidising my cash......*winks* HAHA!!)

Right, as I said, the bodykit needs a change. And regarding the sport rims, this time, I'll go for staggered, 18' or 19', Silver with chrome sides.
Style: 5 Spokes or multi-spokes.
Samples:

According to my brother, our dad has chosen his very own wheels (good deal as well..).
I believe he has chosen a staggered, multispoke, 18' (tayar punya pasal....), SSW Wheels.

I am looking forward to go home and drive the Merc again ;)

Last and certainly not the least, InsyaAllah, a future 931 ride (AMIN!!)
Another Benz, but I call it as;

BIG MERC
W204 MERCEDES BENZ C280 AMG

or

**Bapa prefer wagon plg..His reason: lain dari Uda Danan (286)..**

Straight to the point: 19' Staggered (wider rear), Chrome or Silver.
Samples:

**the one at the far right has been used by my uncle, Uda Danan (286), on his W204 C180 AMG.**

**Loads of wheel choices from this image as well.......Ignore the ladies, they are not part of the choices...**

That is all from me for now ;)

My Arsenal Wishlist

2010-02-07T20:35:00.007+08:00

Hi,

How are you guys doing? Tukar topic dulu kali ani.
Right now, I have a wishlist for Arsenal to strengthen their squad.

As Arsene Wenger said, "We are poor offensively and defensively".

My wishlist is a goalkeeper, a defender and a striker as a backup if such unwanted events ever happen again.
*touch wood*

Goalkeeper:

Arsenal need an experienced goalkeeper, who has been playing in the internatinal levels, as that is what Almunia is currently lacking.

So, my choice is either,

MAARTEN STEKELENBURG

or

PETR CECH

(Ada dah ciri-ciri masuk Arsenal ni..Fly Emirates!!) Xp

Next is a defender. There is only one flaw in the Arsenal defence. Make it 2.
1. Weak in set piece
2. They are too cute.........(buntak)

There is only 1 player in my mind at the moment.

JOHN TERRY

(Ini yang dicari-cari...Pandai header!!)

Enough said. To me, he's the best defender in the world.

The backup striker. Just someone who has the finishing touches. Not a star striker. Just someone who can replace Van Persie and Eduardo temporarily whenever they are not available.

Someone like, Van Nistelrooy, Inzaghi, Henrik Larsson, or even, Shevchenko.

(I know tuha-tuha..But this is only for backup)

I hope there are some initiatives from Arsene Wenger to improve Arsenal.
Whatever it is, I, will forever and always be an Arsenal Fan!!

E61 BMW 5 Series M Sport Touring

2010-01-20T01:32:00.013+08:00

Hello,

My Parents told me that the 3 Series Touring isn't worth a buy when comparing to a 5 Series. Reason being is, the 5 Series is bigger, beautiful interior and very spacious, also, the engine is bigger (3.0l).
The price is very much similar to the 3 Series Touring.

Therefore, right now, I am considering the E61 5 Series Touring.

Probably will be my 'Si Touring'

I've looked at the spec, and yes, the 5 Series is more fuel efficient comparing to the 3 Series. & yes, bigger and yes, nice lights.
(mcm lampu batman...)
And, yes, M Sport.

This time, I'm going straight to the modification.

1. Bodykit:

Front using the AC Schnitzer body kit for M Sport.
Rear, either using the M5 bumper or M5 + AC Schnitzer rear bumper
(mun ada rezeki labih)
Sideskirt, AC Schnitzer (if the cost is cheap), or else, leave it as it is (M Sport)

2. Lights:

If the light is yellow, then I'll change it to white xenon and angel eye
License plate light will also be white
Fog light, white as well

(Ganas usulnya, geng...)

(Ani casual sikit....)

3. Exhaust trims:

Chrome tailpipes, 4 altogether (2 on each side)

4. Sport rims:

19'
Chrome
Staggered
Wider at the back

5. Others:

Probably chrome trim door handle
AC Schnitzer rear spoiler
'AC Schnitzer' logo and 'ACS5 Sport' logo at the back

With all of that, in the end, the E61 BMW 5 Series Touring will 'evolved' to be:

E61 ACS5 Sport Touring

(ACS5 AC Schnitzer - I won't be using the side vinyls)

And this car might just be my precious 'Si Touring'!!
(Nyaman jua menyabut.....)

If I were to buy this car one day, that is how I will modify it. The reason being is that I want that car to be unique and different from others.

That is all for now.

Enjoy the pictures below and Goodbye! ;)

Mini Cooper

2010-01-19T08:46:00.009+08:00

As been requested by 'someone', I have agreed to post on this one tiny car - her dream car.
(Aku kalah betting....*shrugs*)

Behold:

MINI COOPER

Just kidding. It is a Mini Cooper. But not this Cooper.
Once again.

Behold..........

MINI COOPER

The new version has 2 models, The R50 (till 2006) and the R56 (from 2006).
The main difference is only the front fog light, as well as the front grilles. The R56 has a much bigger and much better looking fog light. The R50, hmmmm...Not so much. You'll see what I mean from the pictures below.

(R50 Mini Cooper) (R56 Mini Cooper)

Also, there is another different spec of the Cooper, which is the Cooper S. The difference is that this car is Supercharged, the exhaust pipes are situated at the centre of the rear and there is a hole that acts as a hood scoop for the supercharger to get enough air intake for sufficient performance. But then, the supercharger is not that necessary to have. What matters most is the styling.

The Mini Cooper is powered by a BMW Engine and it certainly is reliable in terms of performance and maintenance.

This car is very cute. The body is beautifully shaped and just exquisite. Lovely work by the British Mini.

The interior is rather simple. However, I like the enormous speedometer that has been put at the centre - in line with the Gear shifters. Steering wheel, prefer the 3 spokes.

The Speedometer

Here comes the crazy part.

The body modification.

First of all is the colour. She wants a baby blue or dark purple Mini Cooper.

Lighting, I wouldn't change anything, apart from the bulbs.
IF the bulbs are yellow, change it to pearl white crystal.

I would also put a set of 18' sport wheels, same width front and back, multispokes (Like a BBS design), Silver with Chrome edges. (HAMANN rims, perhaps.)

Bodykits, probably a small front lip, and side skirt. That is all. Nothing much for the Mini. The design is already pretty enough to be changed.

Here are the pictures of the MINI COOPER:

ENJOY!!

Oooops......! XP HAHAHAHA!!
Sorry....... O=)
"What up, Touring?"

Mercedes ML-Class AMG vs BMW X5 M Sport vs Volkswagen Touareg

2010-01-07T06:08:00.013+08:00

Thinking about maintenance, I don't think Land Rovers are very practical in Brunei. Besides, Bapa inda menyuruh simpan Land Rover....."Inda pedah-pedah disimpan tu" So, I have to come of with another alternative (. If I were to have a big family SUV, best thing would be thinking about the maintenance. So, the most reliable continental SUV makers that I can think of (available in Brunei) are Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volkswagen. Between those 3, I would pass on VW because, I'm an ///M and // /AMG at 'heart'.
(Sounds cheesy, I know.)

So, let us look at the cars one by one.

First of all, is the:

VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG

Beautiful car, without a shadow of any doubt. Looks hot and sexy. Certainly Posh, but there is just a certain element that is missing.

Loving the interior. Just brilliant. The gear lever/selector looks classic yet modern. The steering wheel just suits the car. All the features are excellent.

In bodykits, this car will definitely look very pretty. Sport rims just made the 'icing on the cake'.

Absolutely brilliant.

But, is it worth the money that we pay (used cars in UK)?
I would say, Yes. We're looking at about £15,000, which is very very cheap compared to most Japanese cars in Brunei. And, depending on the mileage, it can feel like a brand new car.

However, I might probably pick to keep until it becomes a legacy (macam kerita2 bapa; Celica and Supra).

Next is the all-time favourite:

BMW X5 M Sport

This X5 M Sport is definitely 'The Ultimate Driving Machine'. It is certainly one of the best models worldwide.

Some call the X5 as the 'Ultimate Urban Animal'. It certainly is an animal, or a beast, I would say. Regardless of the engine. The design says it all.
This car is a combination of many things; Luxury, Sport, Monster, Bulky, Beautiful, Posh, Fat, etc.
It's just a matter of individual taste.

I have to admit, it looks smaller than the old X5 (E53). But the interior space is just the same.
But then, you just got to adore this beautiful ride. I'm loving almost all of the details, from the front grilles to the tail lights.
Just absolutely tremendous.
However, there is 1 drawback: NOT a 7-seater.

But we can just put that aside and just adore the 'beauty of this beast'.
The interiors are just a state of the art. The steering wheels look sporty, the buttons are pretty much digital and the gear selectors are just original-modern-BMW, and despite all that they look luxurious as well.

Just look at that gear selector

The gear changing is almost similar to the flappy gearbox (except not on the steering wheel), but I couldn't care less. What I care about most is the performance in the long run (maintenance wise), and most important of all, the style & design.

The car in bodykit, well, don't get me started. It is just marvelous.

You can choose the simple M Sport bodykit:

or if you're as crazy as I am, like that:

*The rest of the modifications.......Well, I'll just keep it to myself* ;)

I was thinking, my first car will be the 330i Touring (AMIN!!!!!), better known by me as 'Si Touring' which is a BMW. & since I want to create varieties, the X5 is also a BMW. I might need to come up with another alternative.

MERCEDES BENZ ML-CLASS AMG

Very beautiful ride. The body shape is just excellent. The interior is quite okay. You can still feel the luxury of a Mercedes Benz in it.

The front is sporty, elegant and brilliant. The fog light is placed just nice. And also, from the front, it looks bulky, which is nice. The rear, just pure class.

In terms of interior, the steering wheel - not so much. Still prefer the C Class steering wheel. The gear selector is rather small and simple. But loving it still. The dashboard, just beautiful. The dials and all. That's a modern luxury taste. And, there's nothing much to say, really.

The ML in Bodykits, all I can say is just it is difficult to find. Because the AMG Bodykits are just brilliant.

My father loves the ML over X5 because 1. He's more or a Mercedes Benz guy. 2. More reliable and easy in a long run.

And I agree with the second one. Because, by experience, Mercedes Benz is much more reliable than a BMW in a long run. However, the difference is not by a long shot. Both are still reliable overall.

Love 'em both!!

I would say these 2 are the best car rivals, in my opinion. They just keep on competing in order to strive for the best.

So, which one would I pick?

1. The 'Neat' Volkswagen Touareg
2. The 'Ultimate' BMW X5 M Sport
3. The 'Mighty' Mercedes ML-Class AMG

We'll see what's gonna happen.

The HOT & ELEGANT Family Car - SUV

2009-12-04T03:28:00.016+08:00

Hello,

What's happening? Haven't post anything for quite a while now.
As per usual, I'm going to talk about cars.
Here goes.

All these while, I've always talked about Sport Coupes and Sport Sedans. But for now, I'm going to talk about something different, just to create variety. At least it is not dull & boring.
(Gotta admit, I enjoy talking about cars)

Now, I will be talking about a family SUV.

Without any further, It is my privilege to introduce to you:

Land Rover Range Rover

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport.
There are variety of the engine specs available for this big boy.
You can have a Straight-6 (L6), V6 or V8. & these are not Land Rover or Rover-Made engines.
From what I know, they used to put the BMW ///M Powered engine for the earlier models (before 2006), and they were all based on the 6 cylinder engines.

Nowadays, they put a FORD engine or a JAGUAR engine for the Sport version.
Between these 2 engines, obviously, the JAG engine is 'stronger' and 'louder' between the two.
JAGUAR, as most people know, has a reputation for building very powerful and fast cars all over the years. Particularly the V8 engine cars with superchargers.
FORD, however, produced a considerable big engines. But this is nothing compared to the JAG's.

If I was to make a decision between the two, I would choose the FORD engine. The reason is because it is easier for me to maintain compared to the JAG engine. I might have big trouble finding the spare parts, and will surely take out loads of $$$$$ or £££££. But on top of all, I would prefer the BMW ///M Powered engine. Less complicated and of course, easy maintenance. But then, the Sport version doesn't have a BMW powered engine.

But then, regardless if it is using a JAGUAR, FORD or BMW ///M Powered engine, this beast is still known as the RANGE ROVER SPORT.

The interior is just classy. Brilliant touch, looks luxurious & all the details are excellently put together. Each and every single details in that car are just brilliant. It is almost like you can make that car as your bedroom (only with limited spaces). But you all get what I mean. (I hope)

Overall, this car is one of the most Elegant, Posh & Stylish SUV that I have ever seen.
However, there is 1 feature (by far) that I'm not satisfied with this car; this car is NOT 7-seated.

But I wouldn't care so much about that, as this car is Phenomenal.
It is a BEAST!!

Some of you might think that, this car is not 'Haziq' enough.
And, Yes. You are absolutely right.

But then, I won't modify a lot if this was to be my car.

What I would do:

Firstly, my choice of colour for this car is Sport White.
Then, I would give it a simple body kit for the front and rear, just to make it look bigger.
(Uwa Anuar lagi taruh bodykit arah Prado nya..Aku mau jua.. ;D Same2 lah..)
& put up a 23" or 24" Sport rims, with the same offsets for the front and back (looks better for SUVs).
I might choose either chrome/dark chrome wheels or gunmetal gray wheels for this 'beast'.
Shape: 9 spokes & simple look.

I am considering this car as my family SUV, as the beauty of this car just 'melts me out' - metaphorically speaking.
But also, I am considering a NISSAN PATROL as well. The reason being, very spacious, huge size and it is a 7-seater SUV.

That is for the future me to think about. And also, I would need my father's advice for this.
Most likely, it is the Range Rover for me ;)
But then, as I said, we leave that for the future me to think about.

That is all for now.

I'll leave you with some pictures of the
LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT.

Enjoy!

BMW E91 330i M Sport Touring

2009-11-14T19:27:00.014+08:00

Hello guys,

Again, from the topic above, obviously this is about cars. Can't help it. What to do?

For this post, I will be talking about the Pretty Baby below:

Behold:

E91 BMW 3 Series Touring M Sport

The engine spec that I'm planning to take is the 330i but I might consider 335i or 328i. (if there are available). Or last resort, 320i.

The reason for 6 cylinder is because, I want the engine to run smoother and lighter. Plus, I want to have the luxury and sports feeling at the same time.
Furthermore, we already have a 4 cylinder BMW, and yes, it is quite heavy. But I still love it!! ;) 1 of the best cars our family has ever had!! (I miss the cars at home)

Some of you might think, "Kenapa tia wagon ani??"
The answer is, I don't know. It just looks attractive, that's all. & ada roof carrier~ ;P

Those who know me very well might think that, "mesti ada kan di tambah-tambahnya ni".
Well........Ummm..
Yes. That is so true. Can't help it.
*shrugs*

I'm planning to put some bits of exterior modification. As much as I like to modify cars, I won't exceed the limitations given by the Land Transport.

Here comes the 'crazy' ideas:

Colour: That will be my secret.
Vinyls: None. Except for sport logo at the back.
Front grilles: Leave it chrome.
Chrome trims: Leave it.
Door handle: Undecided (Chrome or body colour)
Luggage Carrier: Let it be! It has it's own function & use, which is making the touring look more beautiful & attractive. (Pikir pakai menaruh luggage? Alum ku kan menaruh luggage disana. Bunit ada.)

Lighting,

As usual;
Front: White Xenon Light with Angel Eyes (Projector)

(Xenon White LED)

Fog light: White as well
Cover: Clear cover, no orange tint (just orange bulbs)
Rear: M3 or Sport BMW Light (straight LED), and white bulb for license plate.

It gets more interesting,

Body kit: AC Schnitzer ///M Technik (Meant for M Sport Spec); It will look something like this:

(ACS3 M Sport Front kit)

Exhaust pipes: Might put a dummy if there is only single exhaust system, or just change the tail pipe to make it look more attractive.
Sport rims: Still undecided, but I might choose the '10-spokes 19", different offset front and back (Staggered).' As I have plans for 5 spokes. But I might change my mind.

Here are some of my choices:

As I said, I might go for the 10-spokes rim, and it has to be chrome.

Overall, my dream touring will look something like this:

(Front view)

(Rear View)

**Beautiful, isn't it?**

For now, I can only dream about this. But, I will work very hard, so that I will own this baby one day.
If I have this baby, I will definitely give my parents a ride, or lend the Touring to them (as they lend me their cars. Mau jua meliat indung pakai kreta diri).
My grandmother as well (I wish my late Grandfather is still alive, at least he can enjoy this ride as well. But, I know he's very proud of me).
Girlfriend? Definitely!! Mesti ikut tu. Pakai dating jua ;D

I guess that is all from me for now.

I really hope to get that touring one day ;)

That is all.

Was bored...

2009-11-14T07:31:00.006+08:00

Look at those rims...........

Sama eh!!!!

2. Scratch proof (Barangkali....)
3. Arena ku ada cover, yang ani mau jua lah~~~~ :P

That is all.

Raya in The UK

2009-10-11T07:41:00.006+08:00

Hello guys,

How are you all doing? As usual. Gotta make some updates of what is going on & so. For now, I will update you on the Hari Raya Celebration in the UK.

As far as everyone knows, I celebrate my Hari Raya in the UK with my friends instead of going to Danau with my family. Pretty sad, to be honest. But, it is something that I have to experience. Quite a number of my friends celebrated their Hari Raya away from home. So, I believe I should experienced the same thing at least once. But thinking about it, once is good enough. During the night before Hari Raya, I stayed in Brunei Hall at my friend's room. I've posted some pictures of his room, & my aunt call it a broken ship, or nya kitani 'kapal pacah'. He was actually preparing to move from Brunei Hall to stay in Essex as that is where he studies at the moment. That is why his room looked like jungle.

That night, instead of following the takbir that night, I went to my uncle's apartment in Paddington, London. But, before that, we had our sungkai at the Chicken Cottage near Subway with my cousin, Si Anne, Liza and Zuhairi (miss you, bro!! Nda kau turun London.) Then, the next day, Raya~~~~~~ We (Mamduh, Zuhairi & myself) were prepared quite early for the Raya prayer. But there was no announcement or so. So we took our time going down to the prayer room, as we thought it was still early. As we arrived there, the prayer has already started!!!!! We were rushing to find a place, and Alhamdulillah, we got ourselves the place.

After the prayer, we gathered at the lobby, took some pictures, (I didn't know si Bun ada sana, & as usual......D ampas nya aku.....Pagi2 raya dah buat hal.....) had a quick breakfast, then off to my Uncle's apartment. We were wearing our cara melayu & just walk straight to my uncle's apartment. Kind of weird actually. REALLY weird. But, what to do. We were too lazy to change. Furthermore, it was Raya!!!!! We couldn't care less.

At my uncle's, we gathered, took some pictures, webcam with my family, eat & then, we went to the Brunei High Commission in London, using my Uncle's car. I finally saw my Uncle's BMW. The 5 series touring. It was rather charming, to be honest. (but the 3 series coupe (E46) is still the best!!) But interior wise, the 5 series is better. At the High Com, we had some Bruneian dishes, & the most interesting thing was that there was a roasted lamb, & I mean, 1 whole lamb on the table.
It was huge!!!! 0_0

After the whole event was finished, we went back to Swansea, and we brought Zuhairi with us. He stayed here for about 4 days, if I'm not mistaken. Then he went back to London & made his way to Keele. We'll surely to meet again, because he left one of his shirts here.

Then, yesterday, 10th of October, our seniors invited us to their open house. And this 17th, we will be having another Hari Raya Celebration in London, on a ship. So we had to stay in Cardiff for 2 nights as a transit place, as we need cheap transportation. I'm really looking forward for the event.
I hope the event will be very exciting.

That's our Raya in UK for this year. But next year,

"I'll Be Back!!!!!!"

Safely arrived in the United Kingdom.......................few weeks ago..

2009-10-08T13:57:00.007+08:00

Hello guys,

I haven't been updating my blog for almost a month now. I apologise to those who read my blog. Same ol' story. Well, I just got the internet 2 days ago. Upon my arrival, there was no internet at home and for the first week of school, there was no internet in our Uni either. Very annoying actually -_-

Loads of things had happened for the past few weeks. Most of them are hilarious (mcm dimalam...Ada urg atu luan pandai kan memasak..) Long story short, the fire alarm was activated last night. I can't stop thinking about it. It was SO funny!!! :P (Sorry, Muaz..)

Alright, then. Let's continue. Where was I? Hmmm..Ok.. So, I finally get my boyhood dreams of studying abroad. Finally step foot in the UK. Feels good, really. This is one of the crowning achievements of my life, so far. (Hope there's more coming)

This is something that I am proud of. Personally, I am pretty much "the firsts" in my family, both my father and my mother's side. What I mean is, I'm the eldest of 5 children, I'm the first grandchild from both side, I am the first to finish A'level, I'm the first child and grandchild and nephew to go to the UK, etc. It was something that touches me. But at the same time, that made me do a lot of thinking. I cannot screw this, I must not let them down. As my father said to me before I left Brunei, "Kau duta of this family. Kau duta of bisdorang di Danau. Kau duta of bisdorang di Lambak. & secara inda rasmi, kau ani duta of kerajaan Brunei."
I will always remember that.

I missed my family.

Let's get back to my experience here. Well, Uni life is great. The Uni is just about less than 5 minutes walk from our house. Very near, really. My class is only 3 days in a week. My weekend starts on Friday and ends on Monday. So far, the classes were great, tutors are friendly, classmates are cool. I've managed to become friends with them. Such as Liam, Marc, Sam and Ed,........and many more. Pretty much the whole QS and Building Studies students, really. Summarise the whole thing, those guys are funny.

Next thing, cars. Not many interesting cars can be seen in Swansea. Most of the cars are diesel powered. I think, London has better cars. However, the best car that I've seen in Swansea was the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG (SL jua~~~~~) It definitely beats the beauty out of the TVR Tuscani that we saw in town. (Tau ku......Kerita ganya.....Can't help it..What to do??)

I guess that is all from me for now. I've to get ready for class. Full day today -_-

Until the next post.

Assalamu'alaikum & I know it is quite late, but,

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI
to
MY FAMILY
MY FRIENDS
& EVERYONE.

Enjoy some pictures that we took here :)

Announcement

2009-09-03T00:44:00.007+08:00

Dear friends,

Just to inform you all that I will be leaving for The United Kingdom on the 15th September 2009. My flight will be on 2000 hours or simply, 8.00 pm. InsyaALLAH I will be there early to check in my luggage and other stuff. Probably 5.00 pm earliest. To those who are still asking, I will be studying in Swansea Metropolitan University, Wales, United Kingdom, doing Quantity Surveying.

Currently, I have a mix of feelings to leave Brunei. I feel very happy that I finally get what I dreamed about since I was a little boy, that is studying abroad, something for the whole family to be proud of, but at the same time, I feel very sad, because I have to leave my beautiful hometown, but most important of all, I have to leave my family and all of you, my dear friends. But, I know, this will eventually happen, and sacrifices has to be made. And I believe, this is one of the biggest sacrifice that I have made through out my life.

I will never forget all of you, my friends, who has been with me through thick and thin, all the joy and laughter we had all these while, and all the fun we had back in our school years, that is something that I cherish throughout my whole life, InsyaALLAH. And all I want from you guys is to pray for our safety, pray that I will still be "the same ol' Haziq that we know", that I will never be cocky and arrogant, that I will be a better person, never will I forget any of you, and of course, success in each and everything that we do, most important of all, our studies. And at the same time, I will pray for all of you.

Where ever we are, I hope that all of us will still keep in touch, even though we are very far apart. As it is very easy nowadays to communicate to one another as we have MSN, E-mail (to those who doesn't know my formal E-Mail, it is haziq261@yahoo.com), even facebook and this blog itself as well.

It would really the Whole World to me if you guys, my fellow friends, to drop by at the airport to send me off, have your final words before I leave and waving me goodbye and farewell on the 15th :) It'll be full of emotions I'm sure. But it will be a day to remember.

To all of you, I wish you all the best in your studies and good luck. And hope you guys will achieve excellence in whatever you are doing at the moment.
And, also, to the rest of you will be flying off to the UK as well, I wish you guys all the best,
and I'll see you in UK!!! :D

Cheers.

My next target

2009-09-02T23:45:00.007+08:00

Hi, guys. How are you all doing?

Ok. Still about cars (nada lain jua eh...)
I know~~~ What to do.

Alright, here it goes:
All these while, I have been aiming for the Mercedes Benz C280 AMG, because of the slick and sexy body. So, what I did was, I put a picture of the Merc as my laptop background. Then, a few days back, my mom suddenly fell in love with the Mercedes Benz C-Class AMG, and now, she decided to buy 1 for herself and my father.

I responded like, "NO!!!! I want that car!!!!"
But that was all in my mind.... I didn't say it out loud..... I'll be in big trouble if I did.......

And so, my parents might buy that car before I can afford my own car. |-)
(Lame~~~)
Therefore, now, I have to change my 'target', sort of speaking.

And so, I did!!! :D

Behold:

Mercedes Benz SL350 LORINSER

(Isn't she a beauty......?)

That's my next aim. Just hopefully I've the $$$$$ to own one. (AMIN.......) XD It doesn't have to be AMG model, since I want to change the bodykit to LORINSER. *thumbs up* But, I want the SL350, 3500 cubic capacity (C.C.) engine.

Why?

Good question.

Here are the answers:
1. There are no lower C.C. available.
2. Difficult to maintain very high C.C., for example, the next C.C. level higher than 3500 is the SL500, which is 5000 C.C., V8 engine. O.O
3. SL350 has a V6 engine. And my parents has a V6 car, and maintenance is not so bad. (That is VERY important)
4. Cheaper than the rest. XD That is the very reason why. (Kalau ada tah manual........It'll be much more cheaper....)

I have my own style for the Mercedes Benz SL-Class.
I won't be telling you guys how it looks like, as it is a secret ^_^ To those who know me very well might have their own guesses on how will it look like.
But I can assure you that it'll be totally different ;)

But I'll tell you guys what I'll do for my finishing touch, I'm going to put the AMG badge at the back and take off the SL350 badge XD (Bri malu kali ah spec randah.........)

Well, that is all for now. And thanks for reading.

Finally Hujan..

2009-08-11T20:41:00.003+08:00

(This picture looks good.....)

This past few days have been VERY VERY HOT. (My girlfriend looks hotter too).
Yesterday (10/8) was extremely hot until my car broke down. I blame it on the weather (mudahan tah rusak biasa ja..AMIN.....!!). There was a major oil leak, as it suddenly went out and cannot start anymore. And today (11/8) was SO damn hot until aircon mantuka pun nda krasahan. I was sweating despite the airconditioner was switched on. Not only that, the weather made me so dizzy and mauk. The weather today was definitely the worst of the 2 weeks.

But, Alhamdulillah, tonight, it finally rained. VERY HEAVILY!!! The wind was extra strong tonight, there were thunder and lightning having their war amongst themselves, and it was non stop. Now, it is 9pm, and the rain hasn't stopped.

I was planning to get my haircut ("Potong nipis ja a..Jgn luan nipis.."), den the wind was blowing so strong, that the bird cage from next door nearly trabangan. Then my girlfriend warned me. "Lain usul awan a..". Then I looked at the clouds, and I was like"Wow.........!!!" It was like in the movies, dudes. Mcm yg arah Harry Potter jua. Den temparik tia.

I hope tomorrow will be a great and clear day. Then, it'll be easy for me to drive and hope it's no longer EXTRA hot. I might get cranky by the heat.

Just something to do.....

Honda Odyssey V6 i-VTEC vs. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

2009-08-06T22:15:00.007+08:00

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

VS.

Honda Odyssey V6 i-VTEC 3.0

Hi, dudes~~~ What's happening??
I've a story to tell you. As y'all can see, this has something to do with the pictures above.

Today, I was on my way to pick up my sister from school in Bandar. When I was on the Madang highway, I was on the right lane at my overtaking speed. Then, very soon, a white Evo X overtake me from the left lane. Just so you know, I hate people overtaking me from the left lane. It's just so Annoying.

Then after that, realising that I have a V6 i-VTEC engine under the hood with a steptronic gearbox, I just changed my gear to manual (+ -), (before that, I was swearing, actually. [Sial kale..Palui..Tunggu kau a..] Something like that.) Then I pressed the pedal until I can feel and hear the sound of VTEC beautifully roaring,(it didn't reach the floor, though), then I just chase 'em. Apparently, I was still behind him and it was difficult for me to overtake the Evo. I suspect that his engine was modified since the he changed the exhaust system to HKS.

Still behind him, and he keep on accelerating, so was I. But, then, the Evo couldn't leave me far behind and I was still catching. Even thousgh I lost, I don't feel embarrased or so. But then, I believe I could've overtake him, if only the path was longer. But then, still, the performance of my Odyssey was simply marvelous. Since I don't have the proper aerodynamics and, as you can see, my car is reasonably big, I believe the car did very well. Great performance!! Just wonderful. That's just the beauty of V6, and most important of all, the beauty of VTEC.
*thumbs up*

I hope one day I will have my very own VTEC car, preferably FD2 Honda Civic Type R.
Main purpose is not for performance, really. I am more on style wise. But it has to be Type R.

That is all for now. I'll update more sometime in the near future. And yea, don't worry, it won't be all about cars. ;)

Cheers.

Oh yea, by the way,

My future car, InsyaAllah.
FD2 Honda Civic Type R

JPD Inspection

2009-06-17T11:01:00.003+08:00

What up, evrybadeh?

This morning I went for an inspection at JPD. Some might say "skadar", but aku sakai. First time inspection sendiri, lerrrr~~~
The car that undergo inspection today was my Honda Accord SM4. The bari malas thing about inspection is that we have to change everything to original. Rim paksa original, plet lesen paksa pakai yg basar (which make my car look so uuuuuglyyyy), and even light bulbs paksa ku tukar. Bagi malas eh. Ani lampu kuning bah.

So, I did all the 'changing-back-to-the-original' things at home.

Step 1: Changing the rims; Currently aku pakai rim original Nissan S13, ambil lawa, den baru ku realise, ringan panya..hahaha..Now pakai original honda punya rim lah..pakai cover..haha..so nampak lagi damit..

Step 2: Tukar bulb; asal bulb putih lawa2, paksa tukar original kuning, which is annoying!! Knapa nda dapat putih kan? Ganya kan blawa. nda kan nda dapat. msih lampu bah. hahaha.

Step 3: Tukar plet lesen; Asal plet lesen ku damit sama rapat ani tukar jadi BASAR and
J A R A N G. Asal BW931 jadi B W 9 3 1. Bida nyinta.. :S

(normal look)

Den evrything done, inspection time. Ujan labat nyinta, jalan raya pun mcm nda nampak. Kali sampai, nasib nda ramai. Didn't have to queue up, so, ok lah..Jgn weekend..Mcm boss ku..Pyah eh..Aku bah ampit join..

Kali lapas bayar $5, kana inspect tia, "Lampu..Signal..Reverse..Off enjin, buka dapan (enjin).."
Krita ku legal kali a..Enjin original..SM4 tu..Nada VTEC ja..Minat ku VTEC ani..
Kana warning eh, suruh buat bluecard baru..Panuh panya dah..

Atu ja lah..

I'll update some more once I have changed everything back to 'normal'..

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-400

2009-06-04T20:16:00.009+08:00

I just discovered the existence if this car yesterday (03/06/09) while I was surfing for cars. I had this sudden urge to check on Mitsubishi. So, I checked, and then I saw
"Lancer Evolution X FQ-400 new". I am not a fan of Evo, but this Evo is simply gorgeous.

The exhaust, the lips, engine, everything, simply fabulous. But I still don't understand why it is using the 5 speed gearbox. But I'm sure this has something to do with the performance

But overall, Evo has outdone itself this time.

Let the pictures do the talking.

Enjoy!!!

What do you think?
