comrade checking in!

Guy, my VS finally working

Reading is 14.5v(highest), 5.3v(lowest)(blinks)

Is it normal to have such a low reading? please help check if yours is also like that?


Btw, removing the cat con will lower your CO2 emission but increase your carbon monoxide.

how it works is it : Oxidize carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide: 2CO + O2 → 2CO2

So CO2 increases with Catcon.

I am getting at best a 9km/liter for mileage. Any idea if it could be caused by a cloged up cat con?

Hmm... yea.. small issues only so far..


I wanted to ask, if there are anybody who really pushed the car to the limit?

I used to have the rear sliding(slight oversteer) when taking corners faster than the normal speed..
After I did my alignment and balancing, I get understeer.. really bad understeer.. I took a 100 degree turn at 70kmh and the car stated sliding on the front.. was practically going straight.. had to use full lock to stay on the road..

Probably need to go back to the tyre shop..

Well, depends on the corners.. They is definitely no problem when going on highways and stuff at max speed.. talking about right/left corners more than
80 degrees.

Yea, im using caltex and auto tranny. Caltex gives me the best mileage too..

Yep, I liked the oversteer as you can react to it.. understeer sucks cos u cant do anything except brakes..


Yep.. they are all famous for that.. If you really wanna send to them, bring your clothe and sponge

Wheelspin? too much horses and torque!

Where did you do it? Looks quite interesting.. How much did it cost?

its stock rims with the middle cover removed and small cap in the middle.. Also the aluminum coating has been gutted and the layer below it sanded and polished..

haih.. just whacked a old camry on the federal highway... tmr gonna check with workshop..

Seems that the brakes wasnt good enough,

Had a minor whack in the front.. waiting for insurance approval takes forever.. but the workshop did a good job, the car looks new now

btw, anyone knows why would the new paint job be rough to the touch?

im detailing my car today.. after i got my car back from work shop I realised the paint surface isnt smooth and notice that there is overspray all over the car..

Been detailing my car to its former glory but still got lost of cleaning and paint restoration to do.

On a side note, does anyone who where is the engine number for 4g18 located? My insurance comp suddenly wants it
