可怜的VTI

MY VTI STILL ARD!!! HAVEN SCRAP YET!~!~
then y i still sad leh?

cos my vti super disfigured now......

Actually wanted to scrap my vti on fri, cos my dealer told me COE refund is pro-rated to months only, and so, if i nvr scrap by the 28th Oct, i would lose 1 whole month of COE value, which amounts to roughtly $300+. Knowing my mazda3 SHOULD come in a weeks time, i decided to scrap my vti, go without a car for 1 week and save the $300+

Fri morning, the supposed date of death for my Vti, i boliaoly surfed LTA's site and to my horror, i discovered COE refund is pro-rated to months and days..... TMD, my dealer cheated me!!! i quickly called her n kao pei, then she said she told me already, but its me who insisted on scrappin my car today!! nabeh leh, she really prata man...nono, prata gal....nono....hmm....got gals sell prata one meh?? nvm, shall label her as a prata gal.

side-track abit, last week, she told me in order to scrap my car, i need to have at least a working set of audio system. if theres no audio system, there'll be a $100 fee imposed. mine is a vcd system n if scrapped very pa sng, so i took it out and tried to look for a replacement aw piao set. find until almost chua sai, until eddie told me no such thing!! as long as the car got 4 wheels n a body, can scrap liao.

i called prata gal n "confront" her, telling her about my existing siutation, and wat eddie told me. THEN she prata her way thru again and tried playing the nice guy by saying "oh, this one small issue la, i got another customer scrapping his car, and “刚巧” he got an extra set of audios, and “我马上想到你", so this one small issue la. can settle for u. "

SMLJ?? she really good stuff lor, like dat oso can prata her way thru! WHO IN THE HELL WILL SCRAP THEIR CAR WITH AN EXTRA SET OF AUDIOS???

back to main point, i extended vti's life by another week, since pro-rated by days, so shall scrapped vti when mazda3 comes.


Sat morning woke up very early to meet up with dear's colleagues. her colleagues interested in my car parts, so we went her workplace ard 730am and her colleagues took out watever they needed frm my car.
spoiler,tyres and sports rimm, speedometer, steering wheel, alarm buzzer, radio antenna, windows guard, right mirror. sold all these stuffs at a grand total for $230. not a bad deal la, since all these are additional money! thus my vti now look sibeh fugly sia.

if all cars have a life of their own like herbie, i think my vti will be sibeh sad n sibeh dulan at me for disfiguring him!!! to be frank, i very heart pain when i saw dear's colleagues operate on my car....

sadz.....

Initial D part 2!!

Somehow, i seemed to be most active at these type of 狗不拉屎， 鸟不生蛋 time. Again, taking a break from my studies, i decided to go n take a look at my Vti. Tom, i will be sending in my Vti to my dealer for scrapping liao, so this is the last nite i can actually take a good good look at my precious Honda Civic Vti.

Got sentimental value liao.....the car has been with me for ard 2 yrs liao......a bit sad to part with him....but 车老了， 不重用了. lately has been giving me alot of problems....gear box...aircon....

anyway, back to the main point....probably inspired by yesterday's "race" with the LJ lancer, and due to the fact dat i'll be scrapping my car soon.... i decided to try something which i had always wanted to try but didnt have the chance.......

Yes, DRIFTING!!!

so....was letting chee lip drive my car round ntu. He was taking practical lessons now but didnt have the chance to drive an auto car, so i let him try lor. (sorry dudes, my new Mazda 3 will strictly be restricted to being driven by me and my 老婆 only!!)

so we were driving around NTU with me as the driving instructor beside him. cruising ard n i saw a suitable BIG t-junction somewhere near H15 and NIE. so cheelip and me swap seats and i began going thru my mind the procedures of drifting.

ok, im not an expert...nonono, expert not the word.....i know nuts about drifiting!!!! all i know was wat i gathered from initial D, from that takumi's good fren...cant rem his name.... so it goes like this....drive into a junction.....pull the handbrake...then...... cant rem liao. all i know is dat i need to pull handbrake la!

Attempt No. 1
I drove up to bend n turned my steering wheel gently, at the same time pulling the handbrake a little bit like an ah gua. Nothing happened, the car juz negotiated normally into the left without any signs of drifting, or even any signs at all!!!
ATTEMPT FAILED!

Attempt No. 2
I floored my accelerator....didnt take note of the speed, but not too fast la...probably ard 50-60km/h. once i reach the junction, i turned my steering wheel left and pulled the handbrake. at the same time, i didnt even realise i took my feet off the accelerator. a slight screeching sound was heard, my car turned slightly more than 90° before stopping.
ATTEMPT FAILED!

Attempt No. 3
This time round, i realised wat i did wrong previously: Mustn't let go of the accelerator, so as to allow the drift to carry on. With this in mind, i began on my conquer again! This time round, abit hum ji, and with cheelip beside me kao-pei-ing, i entered the junction at a rather slow speed, maybe ard 40km/h? didnt take note of the speed as i nvr expected this attempt would fail. i turned into the juntion, pulled handbrake and my feet still at the pedal. Like the first attempt, nothing happened. Me n cheelip both concluded must be due to the lack of speed.
ATTEMPT FAILED!

at this point of time, cheelip said he wanna go back liao. he meeting his basketball kakis play basketball(wtf? 5am leh!!!) so i drove him back before going back to try again!!

Attempt No. 4
Without a passenger beside me, i felt more confident this time. cos if xia suay nobody will know ma! haha. a few key points this time, mustn't enter the junction too slow, handbrake must pull harder, accelerator mustn't let go. with these points in mind, i gave my 4th attempt another shot! Ah hah, this time round, kinda succesful la, i managed to drift a little bit but i forget a very important point, that i HAVE to counter the steering after the turn. I frantically turned my steering right after the bend and i executed a very ugly S-shaped path after the drift. hmm, shall consider this
ATTEMPT FAILED!

Attempt No. 5
A bike was seen entering H15's carpark, so i had to gei gei drive away n not loiter near the junction. i made a u-turn ard 30metres away and came back to give it another try. This time i tried going faster, i think ard 60-70km/h. but i abit 心不在焉, worrying that bike might be from campus security. i entered the bend, kept the accelerator floored, pulled the handbrake, BUT I BLOODY FORGOT TO COUNTER STEER AGAIN! this time power ah, macham straight from the intial d scene, my car turned a full 360° and more ah! At the same time a FARKING LOUD screeching sound was made. My civic stopped in the middle of the junction. Like a kan jiong spider, hum ji kia, and a 热锅上的蚂蚁 all combined together, i floored my accelerator and quickly get out of the scene!!
ATTEMPT FAILED!

This marks the end of my little drifting adventure. It'll be a long long time before i get another chance to try this wonderful technique again. Who going to scrap car soon huh? must inform me leh! haha.

*** oh ya, dear ah, if u r reading this, dun worry ok. i will NOT try this on our 宝贝 Mazda 3 one. sompa!!! =) ***

Initial D!!

alright, long time no post.....
Decided to post some stuffs to relive the stresses from too much muggin!!

Went to buy supper, or should i say dinner just now.....and was on my way back in my about-to-be-scrapped civic when a very exciting but dulan incident happened!!

I was just moving off from the traffic light when i noticed very glaring white lights from my rear mirror...i didnt pay much heed and carried on driving..... was about to negotiate a left bend(it was a 2 lane road, and i was on the left lane; and straight after this left bend, left lane is for turning left ONLY and right lane for turning right ONLY) when this yellow Evo-wannabe Lan Jiao Lancer with full body kit popped out from my right, signalled left and IMMEDIATELY eat into my lane AT the exact bend!!!


WTF!!! i wasn't exactly driving very slow, and this LJ lancer caused me to e-brake at the bend and this make me sibeh dulan. i immediately switched from my normal economy driving mode to the sports mode.

wat followed next is soemthing like a scene from Initial D. Ok, not as hiong as Initial D....maybe something like too fast too furious...... wahaha

This LJ lancer tried to pull away from me after this dangerous stunt at the bend.....but i floored my accelerator to the max. i followed him at his kar chng all the way, negotiating another 2-3 more bends along the way until the point we had to go separate ways...... he filtered left, while i had to go right..... and guess wat?? this LJ lancer still yaya papaya STOPPED after turning left to take a look at me......wtf???

sibeh hot sia......but nvm.....me in very good mood today as my new Mazda3 coming soon.....and my gf managed to squeeze a free spoiler + UV coating for the windows/windscreen from my dealer FREE!!!
glad to have a gf whose good in bargaining!!~!~! wahaha

keke, shall blog again tom or wat.....back to studies~!~!~!
