the poor wira...



after using it for around 3 months, I decided to give him a post for memorial (huh? he's still alive!!)... because my new car is arriving soon! and he will be returned to my boss... this car was borrowed for working purpose...

When we first get this car, he gave us a lots of joy... When i start the engine for the first time, engine rev is around 0k rpm, the car was shaky, the whole dashboard started to shake..it was a manual transmission, for me, i have long time didn't drive a manual car, when i need to reverse it, i have forgotten the clutch and straight away just shift to reverse, the car suddenly gone dead... the fuel was empty, we decided to gave him food. when we reach the petrol station, after we've paid, i paused when i wanted to lift the nozzle, i didn't know that he likes diesel or petrol, anyway, i suddenly saw the sticker showed that it likes petrol at the fuel cover... at the road, i always make the engine dead when came to a junction, for the first day, I've make it dead for more than 10 times! the right side mirror was not a concaved mirror, therefore, the is a large area of dead spot, it was very dangerous, i need to turn around my head to the right every time i need to cut to the right...the window at the back, once opened, considered spoil, my friend turn down the window, and the window can't get up anymore, the mechanic use a steel wire to tie it up, and the window cannot be turn down anymore... the most interesting part is, the door lock can't be pulled out once you lock it, and we can't find a button to unlock the door, we were stuck inside the car, and keep finding where's the button to unlock, and finally found that there is a red button underneath the steering, used to unlock the doors...this car doesn't have a reverse sensor, i always ask my friend to drop off to watch the approximity... the radio is so old, only cassete.. we cannot play cd, just only radio..there is only 2 speakers located at the back, no speaker in the front, the speaker worked perfectly in moderate volume. When we heard the DJ started to play Boom Boom Pow, we turn up the volume, the speaker, however, gave us PSOOM PSOOM POEOW, the cracked sound...

The dashboard is so old, it cracked to many pieces, caused by bumpers everywhere and shaky engine... Here's some pic of the dashboard...






It came off when I go through bumper

The defroster button

the whole upper piece of the dashboard cracked and gone...




this is how we fix it... (wounded dashboard)




the "Check Engine" always lights up although I don't feel
there's any wrong with the engine


the essense of this car is the engine, it is very powerful, I managed to speed it up to 170 quite easily...
