3 day course

M at a 3 day course in Bangi. Its a skill group course that I have to attend or they (Human Resource) will hold back my promotion. There are i think 6 courses that I have to attend.. 3 more to go. In a way, its not too bad. I get to get up slightly later cos turning up late is not a big deal. I get to be away from work for a few days, and I get to leave early to go to the gym!!

So m at lunch break at the moment, so I have a few quick minutes to blog! Sempat.....

I've been thinking a lot about Froggie (my car). She is great and all, but lacking something. After all, she is totally stock. My friend Ida has an MX-5 as well and hers got some kewl stuff already on it. I wondered what it was like to drive it. So I took her car for a quick spin and BOY was it different.

Since my car is stock and I mean REALLu stock... no power steering and even no power windows.. everything is original. Ida's car had HKS air filters and an after market exhaust. She also had Eibach springs and wider tyres. It made a huge difference! Froggie is my first car and the amount the needs to be spent is a shock to me. I can't heck spending almost RM3k for new shocks and things like that! But it does give better comfort and performance! I would at least change the air filter laaa. Maybe a new extractor would do the trick too.

Coming back to reality.... I have not even installed an immobilizer yet!! Bila laaaa bonus nak announce nih......

ohh myy!! HKS? Eibach? Low profile wides? Extractor? Peerrghh!! Tabik SPRING! Froggie gonna be souped-up! i didn't know you hv this 'ricegirl' instinct!

anyways....don't get overboard lah...in the end, we may learn that it's the originals that may be more satisfying then the modified....

i did not do anything to my outdated besi buruk bought below market price 1.8SRi until I almost complete paying for it.....tak byk pun mods.... plugged in my old 15" i kept from my old Iswara AB1.5, changed to monster power cables, performance filters and the tail pipe.....and tuning byt kid bro's JB circuit racer workshop friend...
and the funny thing is I don't dare to push it to the limit like when it was all stock....maybe hv had enough adrenalin rush on the Sepang Circuit....it helps....i'd just smile at riceBoys strutting they stuffs now....berani kalu masuk SIC laa!

then again....the choice is yours!

(btw torqxic is a save driver!.....and hates 'overdressed' hondas!!)
