Effort of 3days.

The past 3days, this is what we had been doing.

First, the fucked up speedometer that took Jaguh 2days to solve and fix it.

I bought a new speedo cable, yet the speedometer didnt move. So Jaguh removed it, and found out that the gear already jam~

Jaguh's solution? Hahaha. RXZ speedometer! Yes, the rempit's favourite bike!

Emm, looks nice.

Not really. The cable cant move if it is bent, so need to rotate the speedometer to make it work. Hahaha. Plus, while testing on the road, if other peoples are cruising at 40km/h, my speedo is at 20km/h! That mean, if the speed limit is 110km/h, I must travel at 55km/h according to my speedo! Hahaha. And the best; my speedometer can record till 360km/h!! Why? The limit is 180km/h, 180 x 2 = 360! Haha.


While waiting Jaguh to fix the speedo, I was doing some paint job.

Tape, tape and more tape needed!

Was using 'flat black' spray can.

Taraa.. Much nicer pillar!


Bumble Bee stripe!

Happy friends came to help too! They love spraying eventually. Hahaha.

Yay! This stripe will increase my 'Beng' hp. At least 30 beng hp!

Tomorrow will spray the trunk area. Wee..

Thanks to Jaguh for his full effort and commitment during this 3days. Kinda pity him coz need to come around noon and returned only after 12am. Hehehe. I owe you a big one dude! Anyway, this shows Jaguh Autoworks is doing a great!

Mazda 808 Ad on year 1976!

Was checking out www.retrosyndicate.com, and found out that there are some 808 ad posted by forummer Motard. Thanks for sharing bro. So here's some of his finding, Mazda 808 ad during 1976!!

Damn nostalgic. Gosh, Im in love with old cars now! I wish I can go back to 70's and try to rescue a lot of classic car. Errr, I think Im using a classic car. Hahaha. I dont want people to call me 'Amar 808', sounds gay to me. And definitely not 'Amar classic'. More gay! Argh, better do more 'modern' touch on Bee before people call me 'classic'!

From the ad, I found out that the company claimed that 808 FC is low, and I found out its quite true. Its almost a week, I just fill em up with RM20 fuel. Till now, I just used half of it. Emm... Nice~

Louis Vutton + Bucket Seat,

While waiting for tomorrow, I did some sewing job. Bwahaha. Who told you guys cant do sewing job!?

The materials:
Bucket seat, handbag, sewing kit.


Removing the internal parts.

Cut it into three pieces.
Few hours later:

Will do on more sides soon!
Since today is still a holiday due to Chinese New Year, most of the shop are closed, thus no new parts cant be bought. So Jaguh and me just did whatever we can using whatever we have.

Bought the shift boot at DCM member while wipers, we 'found' it on a scrap-condition car on the roadside. LOL. And new bosskit for the Momo steering.

Classic looking. Sorry, I dont like it though.

After upgrading. Much better. Bucket still seating in my room. Waiting time to be transfered.

Voltage stabilizer in. I do have the grounding cable, but Jaguh didnt know where to put all the 5points!

The ugly rocker cover. Removed by Jaguh as Im 0 on the engine's parts.

Sand, sand, and more sanding! Plus few times using the dirt remover.

Before:

After: (Note the shining effect after sanding. Air filter cover also had been grind by wire brush.

Holes behind sticker! Damn lazy previous owner.

Grind all the way till no rust.

Hole is covered by glueing a metal sheet.

Cementing job done. Notice the marker dot on the hood. Marking for the stripe paint job soon.

More area that had been cemented:

All jobs are not possible if Jaguh didnt help me today. So thanks dude!
His slogan:
Jaguh Autoworks, Can do what lancau u throw at me, Just give me the time, If U cant wait, hantar lain tempat..

808 Snapshots!


Today I went to Jeembo to checkout on Bumble Bee. Emm, much better compare to my 1st time in the car. So far so good. Just the timing chain noise due to loose chain perhaps. And.... 4 GEAR MAN! FUCK! HAHAHA! I thought its 5-speed! While I was testing, I cant find the fifth gear. LOL! Pickup is very good. Wheel spin easily on 1st gear. But temperature kinda pointing to H so gotta refer back to Jaguh for more info. Still waiting for the grant to be change name. Emm.. I guess thats all. I can take the car on Friday. Yay!

And Im looking for a much better looking rims. Still dealing with Jeyaraj of Retro Syndicate forum. Emmm... Come and guess the rims! Jaguh and Mok are forbid to join..

Hint : If its ON, the rim will be... HAHAHA. Keep it secret 1st~ If ON!

If not, steel rim also nice what! :P

808's Interior.

I bet you guys are wondering hows the car's interior looks. I still dont have time to go to Jeembo to peek-a-boo to see whats the updates on BumbleBee. Emm, maybe this Thursday or Friday. Argh, its getting hard for me, thinking bout the car everyday. It is my first car, with my name on it, my guts to gamble with my luck when buying it, and my first stuff that I have a full responsiblity on it.

For a cheapo price that I get for the car, below RM5k ( Price is secret :P), I got a car that had been done the bodywork, so rust is at minimum level and mostly at exterior, new floor ( How do I say it "Lantai baru sudah buat?"), so there is less problem I need to concern bout more rust and holes :P.

And, how bout the interior? Full leather rewrap inside. Seat, roof, door panel, the pillar, everything had been refurbished! For that price, it does make me nuts bout getting it despites I dont have any interest with 808. Seriously, and with some poison from Jaguh, Jeembo and the rest of KelabKeretaLama members, I bought it. I am stupid.


So.. I am here, the car is still at the workshop. I guess, new clutch is going in, full regular service, new brake system, aircond that will be functioning, new rims; 13' mangkuk, and most of small problems will be fixed. Hopefully.

So my plan for the car? As for now, I just want it to be drift spec. I dont care if the engine is standard :P. Emm.. So will be slamming the car soon, low and stiff. The stiffer the better for me :P . I wanna lock the axles, but I need to get some advices first as the car's spareparts kinda rare. Emmm, subframe RX7 from Yasin perhaps? Bucket seat will be transfered from Getz, as well as the steering. Harness also perhaps.

Emm, I guess thats all for now~ Sigh~

Starter.

This blog will be dedicated for my Mazda 808 journey. Hopefully it will become as I have plan, and hopefully the car will behave. Cheers for now.

As for the car, it still in the Jeembo's Garage. Waiting for the grant to be swap owner's name, insurance, road tax, minor repair, new clutch, full services, new rims, and etc. Basically I didnt touch it yet. Emm, I can feel it will be a burdon, but who cares!

Future plans? I dont have one. LOL~

Future plans? It will be going sideways! Specs? I dont know! And if you ask me, why 808? Love at first sight. Where? UIA Drift Practise. Which car? This one;
