Seriously without mood, I cannot do it. That's why it is pretty slow progress. Plus I am a busy person (Ahaks!).<br />
<br />
Paint stripping. Safety first! Glove only. Should wear long sleeve, long pants and something to cover up my face.<br />

<br />
Stuffs for this DIY process are:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" src="http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/254953_10150216014417002_643222001_7143964_6999037_n.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
*Spray can. Bought two silver and one black color.<br />
*Autosol.<br />
*Sand paper (400 and 1000)<br />
*Paint stripper and brush.<br />
<br />
Carefully remove the lenses as it will crack if you push it. Don't try your luck especially if its a pretty rare stuffs.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/251352_10150216014062002_643222001_7143959_988565_n.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
Clean all the stuffs and let it dry. Only after that you can judge if its restore able or not worth trying. In this case, everything are in good shape and I am pretty confident and with my previous experience, I can refurbish all of these hopefully. What make this project special is that the car sport a facelift of RX3, and to be exact the 10A facelift. Take note that the facelift itself cost thousands of Ringgit if you wanna buy it.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/250509_10150216014177002_643222001_7143960_6673958_n.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
We manage to score a new set of front bumper signal. Thanks to the Ipoh trip and Wan DV for helping us sourcing stuffs.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/253428_10150216014297002_643222001_7143962_1172724_n.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
Autosol is a great stuff. It can shine almost everything. This is due to its abrasive feature. What I don't like about it is that this thing eventually will 'polisht' up your skin too during the polishing process. Now I am in pain.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/248883_10150216014492002_643222001_7143965_7832991_n.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
The cleaned lamp cover was sprayed to silver color to reflect the light bulb better.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/249428_10150216014592002_643222001_7143967_92613_n.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
And one of the worst thing I had experience was the paint removal of the bumper. Its my first time working with the paint removal and only after it touch my skin I know how corrosive this thing is! God I hate this thing. Time consuming and I only manage to do 1/3 of the bumper.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/247510_10150216014682002_643222001_7143969_6776061_n.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
For the lenses restoration, what I did first was using the Autosol to rub off the top layer. I did my best for like two or three times before polishing it with Headlamp Polish. What differ these two polishing liquid are its abrasive grade. Autosol is pretty much coarse while the headlamp polish is fine. Shine effect can only be achieved after the fine grade of polish process.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/249561_10150216014892002_643222001_7143974_6580892_n.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
Emblem done. For the second time, I manage to restore it again. Pretty happy with it.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/254346_10150216014932002_643222001_7143976_7357774_n.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
My first attempt was two years ago. Heck, it was coincidence that both photo look similar!<br />

The tail lamp cover. The right one had been restored to its glorious state while the left one havent. Cant do it today coz my hand hurt from too much exposure from Autosol.<br />

I hope the new owner will continue the project and making her more attractive and hopefully he'll take a good care of the car. Just got the deposit and once a full payment is made, I shall give the grant to the new owner and also this blog space to the new owner in case he's interested to continue this diary.<br /><br />A bit hard for me to let Bee's go. Got a lot of good and bad memory with the car. From the first breakdown until the latest one. LOL. How sweet the memory when Mok and me was dating with the car and the experience of doing repairs and undoing repairs with the car is good.<br /><br />Time for me to move on. The next car? Unknown. No plan yet. Just want to focus on getting some money first before finding a new one.<br /><br />Till then, see you somewhere else Bee!Amar Gencoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02548183237917243911noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387567546019230489.post-88598056618428823642009-11-26T03:47:00.000-08:002009-11-26T04:04:39.817-08:00DIY : Engine Mounting.Had nothing to do today, so I force myself to change the engine mounting so that the car will be drivable again. It's a sunny weather today. Quite rare in this month to have a sunny day. Did this from 4.30pm till 7pm. Haha. What I really excited was I did it myself. Without anyone helping.

Yeah, it worked! And no vibration too. Test drove it and went back to the spare part shop. Initially I just wanted to exchange the starter that I bought the other day with something else, but the owner was kind enough to refund me. Wow, that's something rare also today. I bought a rubber ring to hang up my exhaust, and a H4 bulb for the lamp.<br /><br />And in case nobody's buying the car, I bought a set of lug nuts for my rear rims. Its a special nut coz the nut have spacer and specially design to fit the rim and not<span style="font-style: italic;"> 'boring'</span> the rim holes. Also applied for SSR MKI and etc. And by next month, if nobody's buying the car, I'll send the car to do a proper wiring job, and maybe sending the car to paint shop? Who knows.

Not the engine, but the starter. I cant really just crank to start Bee's engine. Im808 told me that the starter is not powerful enough to crank the flywheel (Did I said it right?) due to high compression, so he suggested to change to a high speed starter. Well, this few days, my method to start the engine is by push start. Not the push buton, but to manually push the car!<br /><br />So, there goes a hundred plus of mine to buy this high speed starter. From Proton Wira. Suppose to fit my engine.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZVPxZkzoUPKKwA2ZEKpgnd1XgIC4KDrm1mKnEFlUdLchwsPc5ql3wVyNYYzTeExKC6rsTkTyPfGTAmA4iHlXnsPLGGZs80F9a20hEpgvs3StxgLAft65plCeQeg5qC-dehtGpNp6Q3UI/s1600-h/DSC00078.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZVPxZkzoUPKKwA2ZEKpgnd1XgIC4KDrm1mKnEFlUdLchwsPc5ql3wVyNYYzTeExKC6rsTkTyPfGTAmA4iHlXnsPLGGZs80F9a20hEpgvs3StxgLAft65plCeQeg5qC-dehtGpNp6Q3UI/s400/DSC00078.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403402111905919858" border="0" /></a><br />Since I am too lazy to do it myself, I send the car to the workshop and let they do it.

One thing that I can said that time was, FUCK. There goes my money on the starter. Hahaha.<br /><br />Anyway, the other things that is in my concern now, is a leaking from the bottom of the engine. Hmm. Possible location when I checked yesterday was from the gearbox oil seal, the oil sump gasket, or maybe from the half moon (What is that?). So, will send the car back to Im808 once he's free from activity.

Wan Dreamers Vault pick me up and we went to his house.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10pm</span> - Im808 arrived and he picked me up to Sungai Siput which is around 40km away from Ipoh.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">11pm</span> - Arrived at his house, get a few things fixed up and the car is ready! Yay. Im808 brief me up bout the car.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">12am</span> - Its Tuesday, and Im ready to go back to KL. Will took me 200km to reach KL.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3am</span> - I am 70km away to reach KL and suddenly the car break down. No lights, no rev, nothing. Fuel pump and electric fan is out. I panicked and park the car on the roadside. Its dark, there's no car nearby and Im alone. Muahaha.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3.30am</span> - Called the PLUS Peronda and they arrived. Towed me to the nearest R&R and I slept in the car till morning.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7am</span> - A highway foreman came and try to fix and he blame the wiring for the failure of fuel pump and electric fan. He fixed it and there's no spark in the distributor. He gave up and towed me to the nearest workshop.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">9am </span>- Arrived, went for my breakfast and wait for the foreman to come.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10am</span> - They started to find the problem source and found out that the contact point already out and one fuse already blow. Hahaha. The first foreman didn't check out the fuse.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">12pm</span> - I'm on my way back to KL with a hope the car will not break down again.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.30pm</span> - Arrived! Safe and sound!<br /><br />Total traveling time : 13 hours for 200km trip! One hell of experience.<br /><br />Early in the morning. I noticed that Bee's rear end sits much lower than front now.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC00067copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />At the workshop..<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC00070copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />No more holes.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0222copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />And no more rain entering the car.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0225copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />The harness that I bought the other day.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0223copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />The DGAV Weber and the external fuel pump will be fitted in once I finished the first 1000km.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0224copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />The wide fender.

Super loud, high compression, and to me its powerful. A few minor problem and the car is good. It needs a new battery, a high speed starter and a proper wiring job. Will update from time to time.

Conclusion that I can made from this pic is.. Flatbed must be cheaper than towing at Ipoh. Maybe? Or is it becoz of the expired road tax? I'd noticed that the rear suspension is lower than front.

I'm guessing the car will be ready by another weekend. From this photos, the results is 'less ideal' than what I expected, or maybe I should wait till I pick up the car. Then maybe I can give some comments. Overall, the body job does make my car more 'beaten' looks. I guess its time for me to keep more money for paint job.<br /><br />The fender had been aligned back and fitted again. Unfortunately the front fender didn't get the flaring job. Tsk tsk. I'll be using the wide flare back I guess.<br /><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff36/mampustaklayan/DSC05049_resize.jpg" alt="" width="600" border="0" height="450" /><br /><br />And the rear fender got the 'wide' concept. Rims & tyres from Din. Thanks to him the car arrived in one piece.<br /><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff36/mampustaklayan/DSC05050_resize.jpg" alt="" width="600" border="0" height="450" /><br /><br />Another rear shots.<br /><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff36/mampustaklayan/DSC05052_resize.jpg" alt="" width="600" border="0" height="450" /><br /><br />The main problem of retro Mazda is water seeping inside the wiper area.

Ness.Hargh. Finally. Home sweet home. Gosh, its hard to adapt to non familiar surrounding such as village area and their condition? Was kinda dirty if you asked me. That's my cousin's home. Har har har. How dirty is it? Well, my whole leg had been bitten with this small creature called <span style="font-style: italic;">pepijat</span> I think. Itchy, swollen and anoyying. Damn.. Well, cant complaint much since its not my home.<br /><br />Anyway, I arrived after 14hours of driving. From Kelantan to Terengganu, then to Pahang, and finally my home. Two sleep-rest, and countless unnecessary stop. And another thing that I bought home is.. Stomach ache! Yep, too much food till food poisoning. But I love the <span style="font-style: italic;">Nasi Dagang</span>! <span style="font-style: italic;">Duit raya</span> that I got is getting lesser and lesser year by year. Its hard to accept that Im getting older. This is the suckest raya ever. Apart from breaking up, some of my relatives didn't come back too. Boredom was killing me there.<br /><br />Anyway, new stuff for Bee is a 4-point harness. Bought two sets the other day. The black one is for Josh, and the red one is mine. Sorry Josh, yours already opened when I took it, so I use it to take a photo. Hehehe. Still brand new <span style="font-style: italic;">mah!</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUTSiTkHOU18gyYmdFDJOoFut9jKwQXILHu4p_inBYsQZXvkiMxp-K2Ro51UFw07RYw6FUBZMgXM954IuQPZB0WeNQQ43Btwz2NYlkf-BlQfSOrfpOcWsXfAqYO6TV6WY6Thd6Gz0NpE/s1600-h/DSC_0175+copy.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUTSiTkHOU18gyYmdFDJOoFut9jKwQXILHu4p_inBYsQZXvkiMxp-K2Ro51UFw07RYw6FUBZMgXM954IuQPZB0WeNQQ43Btwz2NYlkf-BlQfSOrfpOcWsXfAqYO6TV6WY6Thd6Gz0NpE/s400/DSC_0175+copy.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384750362136089122" border="0" /></a><br />And after the last MMS that I received from Im808, this is the latest one.

So I guess, no more car topic when I got a chance to talk to her. I hope there's still chances left for me. Oh, how I wish I can turn back the time. Hope. Hope.

So, went to find a few stuffs. Not lucky me, most of the wanted stuffs had already been taken by Kamachi. Chet. The shop that I visited just now is one of the Kamachi's supplier. All Weber, rims, and rare stuffs had been taken by them. Haiya..<br /><br />Since the owner of the shop had been following & helping me finding stuffs, its kinda rude if I didn't buy anything. So, just took this steering which is from Datsun and also this Honda Mugen spoiler. The EG hatchback one. Still got the Mugen emblem too. And come and guess the prices?<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC00022.jpg" alt="Image" /><br /><br />I guess I'll try to alter the<span style="font-style: italic;"> tapak</span> for the spoiler, and the steering will be refurbish and will be used for drifting purpose since my current one has too much offset till not suitable for fast steering work. Prices again? Less than a single purple note. Damn good buy I guess.<br /><br />And finally, one and only 808 that I found during my Raya's trip. A coupe with TS Cup looks. Already chat with the owner, and he gave me the scrapyard location. I'll definitely will come back to the scrapyard next year!<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC00020.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC00021.jpg" alt="" width="600" border="0" height="450" /><br /><br /><br />Gosh I miss my car soo much. Im808 said the car will be done by next week....End. Sigh. I guess you cant rush perfection right?

I was thinking for a few days, before finally, I made my mind to take it. But unfortunately, the Weber that I bought is the smallest one in the catalog, a DGAV 32/32. A progressive one. Just wanna have an experience with this kind of carburetor. It will not be used yet, as I'm short of fund. So, I'll just wrap it up, and keep in my display closet. Lol. Item is still at Ipoh and I'll collect it once my Bee is done.<br /><br />So this is how a DGAV Weber looks like. Internet picha though. This one is 32/36 maybe.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3M_u1sPOWO4wHS4wXQbj_5QSv4lfpA6oC-YfenEvlwzzOeIUWTKCPcTC_FQwIpVdk6R5ShdsLkAgfFtQmXEn5-Tj_MRk47kG3-d-xhdc6Az_38UD0GKbf6EnV_gYbcspDu1cgWKMwBGk/s1600-h/32_DGAV_LG.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 143px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3M_u1sPOWO4wHS4wXQbj_5QSv4lfpA6oC-YfenEvlwzzOeIUWTKCPcTC_FQwIpVdk6R5ShdsLkAgfFtQmXEn5-Tj_MRk47kG3-d-xhdc6Az_38UD0GKbf6EnV_gYbcspDu1cgWKMwBGk/s400/32_DGAV_LG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376238635317522946" border="0" /></a><br />Any ideas how much this stuffs usually cost? Just wanna know the market price. Any Weber advice? The Weber that I bought was incomplete according to the owner. He just completed all the stuffs and assemble it back. Serviced it and was put on sale coz he needs some urgent money. It comes with a<span style="font-style: italic;"> tapak</span>, but it is for A14 Datsun. So, I didn't take the <span style="font-style: italic;">tapak </span>coz Im808 said I cant use it. So I'll try the new engine with normal carburetor and then I'll switch to Weber. I hope there's a significant improvement. Hope so. If not, will give it to Jaguh<span style="font-style: italic;">. Pinjam</span> only <span style="font-style: italic;">aaa...</span><br /><br />So, this is the DGAV series when disassembled. So many stuffs in a single Weber.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMzVHMwj9wHT8DaSCjw6D1HBNKTfEx7ZE5OxUTusGky8wZvO-o0_Zio0qTkToTt4M0PdIiMiJx17SjVGoMXEYWSzmCHn62QpZCZYplRWqeB7aVHMg2RErNQhpQNYooKNRSIclxNr-doI/s1600-h/weber-3236.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 365px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMzVHMwj9wHT8DaSCjw6D1HBNKTfEx7ZE5OxUTusGky8wZvO-o0_Zio0qTkToTt4M0PdIiMiJx17SjVGoMXEYWSzmCHn62QpZCZYplRWqeB7aVHMg2RErNQhpQNYooKNRSIclxNr-doI/s400/weber-3236.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376238646600095378" border="0" /></a><br />1 or 2 more weeks before Bee is done.

Jaguh had done the half cage and will be doing the extension for the front parts next week so that it will become a full cage. And the detailing job is still not done yet. And after testing it, I think there is a lot of improvement such as body roll elimination, stiffer body, and I can feel every vibration of the car.<br /><br />Overall, I think it is good. About mass producing it, I think it will be a bit pricey coz Jaguh is using an expensive type of steel pipe. I forgot the details and the reason of using this particular steel tube is because there is a FIA rules stated about using the particular steel tube type for making cages. Meaning that the cages is somehow FIA certified. Lol.<br /><br />And after talking bout the cost of making the cages with Jaguh, this is the design that I want for my half cage. It will be cheaper than Jaguh's one coz this design will be using less pipe, less bending and less welding job too. Anyway, this is a half cage for 808 sedan. From Australia. I'll be using the bolt type too.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzakUNJqDZJ1d8kG5SvUJb75hbJN8-j52g9tlQZKlTnr1SE7N2Y1XqLH-QUUQtb6INyu6OamxQpp4u9UaoPcLZtWhp7YAiJprb0Z5Nk4AihAIs6ubGhKZ3Zag5v7L1f1k-5r8ajATgp2E/s1600-h/DSC00368.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzakUNJqDZJ1d8kG5SvUJb75hbJN8-j52g9tlQZKlTnr1SE7N2Y1XqLH-QUUQtb6INyu6OamxQpp4u9UaoPcLZtWhp7YAiJprb0Z5Nk4AihAIs6ubGhKZ3Zag5v7L1f1k-5r8ajATgp2E/s400/DSC00368.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375102677423984914" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiYYgBae56-Ee3Z-smr5igWepoI_gqQQrY8kAQ7A225owJ1MemOZMjx47bqR5cTRjJtg0m5qipcpuiWVz1rF0gPB1t6ARt4KucGdNEYXvFJvLzvoU1zVX91-zcS4Vb-FKJw_2zRqdZE1Q/s1600-h/DSC00367.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiYYgBae56-Ee3Z-smr5igWepoI_gqQQrY8kAQ7A225owJ1MemOZMjx47bqR5cTRjJtg0m5qipcpuiWVz1rF0gPB1t6ARt4KucGdNEYXvFJvLzvoU1zVX91-zcS4Vb-FKJw_2zRqdZE1Q/s400/DSC00367.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375102673004354818" border="0" /></a><br />And with my extra income of RM50<span style="font-style: italic;"> courtesy</span> of the mag, I'll need to find a way to add my budget.

When I arrived at the toll exit, Im808 guide me to the Underground Garage. Arrived, my first impression was, <span style="font-style: italic;">"Walao</span>, very underground<span style="font-style: italic;">lah</span> this place." I thought the place was a shop lot. LOL.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0001copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /></div> Anyway, even though the place looks creepy and weird, my main reason of sending my car here is because they had been working on Mazda 808 quite some time which mean they have more experience on this particular species. This is 808 heaven. You can find most of 808 parts you want here coz they had been scrapping more than 10 units of 808.<br /><br />This is Im808's ride. With 1.6l engine inside, there's no way he's driving it slow. I always get left behind when following him. Oh, where's my Bee? Im808 keep it at his college. According to him, it is much safer to keep my car there rather than keeping it here. Plus, the body shop is near the college, so that's another reason.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0003copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /></div><br />Here's Bee's engine block looks like. The crank pulley nut is stucked by the way, so cant remove it yet. The oversize pistons had been ordered, and the block will be send to the foundry once the ordered pistons arrived. The block will be painted too. Im thinking of making a Lego color scheme by the way.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0004copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /></div><br />And this is the engine's head. Quite dirty eh?<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0005copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /></div><br />And after some grinding process, here's how the head looks.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0009copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /></div><br />And let the porting and polishing process began. This is my first ever experince on porting and polishing process, even looking also first time. So, I was kinda <span style="font-style: italic;">jakun</span> back there and ask so many question to Im808. Lol.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0010copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Even the exhaust outlet also had been ported.<br /></div> <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0015copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Did you spot any difference now?<br /></div> <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0012copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">The dirt on the valve was super stubborn.

There's a room in the house that is full of 808 stuffs. How to imagine <span style="font-style: italic;">eh</span>? It's like when you assemble everything back into the chassis, you will get a few unit of Mazda 808 back.<br /></div> <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0016copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Bee's flywheel that will be skimmed so that it will be lightened too.<br /></div> <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/arm_flip4crew/port%20polish%20808/DSC_0017copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I was thinking why the hell this rotten 808 was there.

Full of assignments, test, lab reports and etc. Damn, I hate 3rd year. Im had been constantly updating me with Bee's update. Here's one of the MMS that I received from him.<br /><br />Checking out the engine compression I think.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnNxWyeo-3VCG2yQVEuIKI3kRoKLsEDpPNlAD4K_UMSObjSbCO5H73qvfvLQj_poz27hmMTUrj9tXH-HTQXi0VDmLJsMEd-wY_q4Uq3vX7c4BiLBRXUwpbQWWDD4_t8LJoLD_8q-AUWIw/s1600-h/Image0409.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnNxWyeo-3VCG2yQVEuIKI3kRoKLsEDpPNlAD4K_UMSObjSbCO5H73qvfvLQj_poz27hmMTUrj9tXH-HTQXi0VDmLJsMEd-wY_q4Uq3vX7c4BiLBRXUwpbQWWDD4_t8LJoLD_8q-AUWIw/s400/Image0409.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369861521276986098" border="0" /></a><br />So what is the problem with Bee actually? The 3rd piston has a low compression which mean the inner parts had been damaged badly. (Did I said it right? XD) Engine had been taken out and everything had been disassembled. That's is all from this week as Im808 is also busy with Zero 2 Hero TV show. He's one of the participant.<br /><br />Jaguh and me will be going to Ipoh next weekend. I really miss Bee and why does Jaguh wanna follow? Coz he'll taking some measurement for Bee's interior. For what?

With the super stupid P1 Wimax that disconnected every 5 minutes, how da hell I wanna update!? Plus with my tight class schedule, that make it worse. Man, I need a day to rest. It was suppose to be today, a day free from my Bee.<br /><br />And I had decided not to take the 3T and the Libero axle. The owner want the T50 gearbox that come along with the engine, so it will be more trouble for me to source one soon. And the Libero? Too much stuffs need to be made first before it can be plugged in. Solution?<br /><br />I bought Wad's 808 spare axle. Gosh, this particular axle is so rare that I need to have a spare axle if Im going to lock the other one.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0072copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />The extra leaf. I wish I can fit all of em in my car to stiffen it.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0074copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />And the reason I bought it? It came with a custom made lowering block and a longer U bolt to hold the leaf.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0075copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />Mr Jaguh came to help. I really appreciate it. Thanks bro. Still not recover from the accident, and yet he came to help me.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0076copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />And my brother suddenly wanna help around. So I asked him to loosen up the bolt. Until..<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0077copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />Bam! The leaf stressed out, and my brother's finger was stuck between the leaf and the jack, so I rushed to the clinic. The doctor said maybe his finger was already dislocated, so X Ray needed.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/25072009024copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />X Ray time. Luckily the doctor is very friendly dude, and so thus the nurse. Hehehe.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/25072009022copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />The nurse cleaning up the deep cut. Quite hot eh?<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/5b410f0a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />And, thanks to Jaguh, the block was fitted by the evening while I was at the clinic.<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0078copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />Done! Right side only.. Left side? Next time~<br /><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/arm_flip4crew2/DSC_0079copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />And if everything goes as I plan, my Bee will be send to Ipoh next week for a major job. I really cant wait for the day!<br /><br />The workshop's plans are:<br />*Overhaul<br />*Port & polish<br />*Up the capacity till 1.6l (Did I said it correctly?)<br />*Camber & caster<br />*Weld the axle<br /><br />And, I hope my budget is enough. Around RM 2k plus. And a full bodywork in Ipoh too maybe if the budget is sufficient. Anyone wanna sponsor me? Hehehe.Amar Gencoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02548183237917243911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387567546019230489.post-35018711010244275022009-07-17T13:21:00.001-07:002009-07-17T13:21:58.165-07:00DIY : New Bearing.Since the weekend is coming, I have set a few plan for Bee. The old bearing had been making a lot of noise lately. So, it needs a replacement, and so thus the naked bodypart need to be covered back with the damaged fender.<br /><br />I returned home after I finished my class and called Jaguh to come. And since Jaguh is handicapped (LOL!), he was only instructing me and help a lil bit. Talking bout doing it myself make me proud. Har har har. At least I learned about a few stuffs today. What's the point of having a toy car if you didnt try to fix it yourself?<br /><br />So, lets remove the tyre first.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNShQrvaiXk9vWGVVi4eLrM56VltJ2f8vQGEnmUy87OV2eoZVo1cxT0ARFiiBg18axsrnizEFq7-4ksZAvGw1qIo8Gkah-d5EQQZgBRNAxU31pQ0kfSL_0UTUw8sRYxpRGPzKgm_wZ5RQ/s1600-h/P170709_17.29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNShQrvaiXk9vWGVVi4eLrM56VltJ2f8vQGEnmUy87OV2eoZVo1cxT0ARFiiBg18axsrnizEFq7-4ksZAvGw1qIo8Gkah-d5EQQZgBRNAxU31pQ0kfSL_0UTUw8sRYxpRGPzKgm_wZ5RQ/s400/P170709_17.29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359523899785250274" border="0" /></a><br />Remove the inner bolt and the hub.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTr9TZ9Fdc5MaXGz1Sk1WgPLBnM8VvXdzWR2qOd_Kxv28cN4nRmaqLuUKYYD6kJRFgCesccg5G3yK_qA-KrWUXjqFVrCVIg1mkK1cqsobMTZ4U7cLqT-C-iBIzYWvbCUxMTHFE2_AAehA/s1600-h/P170709_17.43.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTr9TZ9Fdc5MaXGz1Sk1WgPLBnM8VvXdzWR2qOd_Kxv28cN4nRmaqLuUKYYD6kJRFgCesccg5G3yK_qA-KrWUXjqFVrCVIg1mkK1cqsobMTZ4U7cLqT-C-iBIzYWvbCUxMTHFE2_AAehA/s400/P170709_17.43.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359523906209106818" border="0" /></a><br />And its time to remove the bearing.

Unfortunately, it does not fit well and you can see the gap. Morale of the story, dont roll you fender unless your car spareparts is plenty. As for me? Where can I find a new set of it? Argh..

It is taken from a Mitsubishi Libero. Full lock and the ratio is 3.9. Since it was from a Mazda 808, I'll just need to plug and play it only. The axle is 4inch wider so my Bee will be more wider for rear.<br /><br />Dunno whether it is a LSD or welding axle. A pro 808 mechanic said that my current axle ratio is 4.1. And Jaguh said that my car cant move very well with 3.9 ratio. <span style="font-style: italic;">Aiyak~</span> So which one should I listen?
