Late update on 808.

Long time since my last update... So Jaguh had changed new altenator, cable plug, replace my clutch fan with a new direct fan, radiator cap, and a DIY chrome radiator tunnel (what the hell was the name??!)

As usual, keep diggin and you found out more problems! So what now? It seems that my radiator is leaking. Hahaha. Nevermind. Will repair it soon.

Hmmmm..

Sometimes I do feel like selling the car when problems occur again and again. Again, this is because of short funds, and I dont have time to fix the car's problems as Im in college yo, bla bla bla..

So some updates again before class starts tomorrow:

Longer studs. Will be putting spacers soon.

Remove rear seat to see the floor. So far so good. No rust as previous owner had already fix the floor.

Fender finally had been rolled. Hmm, not symmetrical though. Left and right are different. So need to fix it back after had been slammed.

Fucked up area during rolling. Previous owner took a shortcut during bodywork. Sprayed the damaged area to sooth my eyes or else I will WANT to fix it during this exam week.


Whats more? Yesterday brought it to my college before the car fucked up again in the same night. So need to waste more of my times to send it back home and pass to Jaguh. So today Jaguh took the car to see what is wrong this time.

He suspected the alternator is ready to be changed as the engine sound's just like a car running with one removed spark plug. Talking bout a boxer sound. Hehehe. Maybe need to replace the cable plug and so on that related.

Plus lately my engine temp is very irregular, so Jaguh said the radiator cap is the problem source. Plus a 32 years old radiator fan that already soft. Hmmm, need the fan housing too to cool down the temp as Jaguh's KEtam temp is now steady after he changed back his belt fan + housing from an electric fan.

So how to fix? What the hell. I trade with Jaguh. Hahaha, I mean I took his car for this week. 808 will be left to rot at his house until I got more $$$$ to replace the fucked up parts. Huargh..

Old car = problems.
Study = problems

Old car + study = MORE problems. Dammmmnnn...

New Rubber.

Lol. Its nothing.. Just a little update while my car is inside the workshop. Why? Changing the short stud to a longer stud, Toyota's stud, 1.5mm thread? What the hell is that? Hahaha. Was listening to Jaguh when he said that, so just type it here then. Hehehe. No pics at the moment.

Just a little update,

Jaguh found it! Rubber for my door so there will be no moist in the driver side. Guess how old is this stuff? 30years! Still with the original package.

Fitting time.

And Ayip, Jeembo's crew changing my studs. Rolling fender will be done tomorrow, so I just leave the car there.

Emm, muscle enough?

Emm, finally; my last day at home. Just arrived at my hostel. Sigh. Kinda miss my Muzda already. Hehehe. Geram coz a few minor stuff didnt manage to settle yet.

Met with Josh last night to pick up my rims. Bought the rims from Jeyaraj. Very patient and good attitude seller. And cleaned it up in the same night. So this morning, go to nearby tyre shop to fit in the new rim. Looks OK, but as usual, more problems encountered~



So here's some pics on Stanley's request!
(p/s: Will be getting a used 808 speedometer soon. Me and Jaguh also cant stand to watch the RXZ speedo..Hahaha)

Front:

Rear:


The problems? Here it is!

Stud toooooo short!! Need to go to Jeembo's this weekend to change to a longer stud. Problems only occur for rear rims.


And of coz, with offset and wide rim, fender will be eating the tyres. Damn~ As expected, so will refer to Jeembo also to roll the fender.
