Congratz 2TS!!
And yup, kudos 2one & ALL who hv kept this thread moving on...& on...& on...
:cheers

Hi Everyone...

Me juz came home y'day & got 2read abt the "incident" in here...

Frankly @such a time, best solution is 4all parties involved 2take a deep breath & relax...

We are all in here 2make frens & be frens...or am I wrong?
No one needs 2leave..at all!
As we hv learnt in the past, posts in forum threads nvr really do justice 2views meant 2b expressed...
Misunderstandings are common...
Words are juz words...
And they may convey different meanings 2different ppl...
The emo behind those same words can also be different in the views of different ppl...
Agreed?

Cool heads wld alwaz enable us 2cross such minor "bumps" in any journey anywhere in our lives...be it in the WWW World or the Real World...
All of us here are on "borrowed" time...
So let's not waste this short time we are blessed with over a few words keyed in in haste or actions in response in the heat of the moment.

We are all blessed with the most intelligent brain in the Animal Kingdom. True?

Let us allow sanity, humility & understanding to prevail...

Let's be truly frens...able 2forget & forgive...
And continue 2b happy sharing our common interests, joys & all the ups & downs in any relationahip...

TQVM 4reading this far...

Hi & Good morning, Everyone!!

Hi, Bro YAB...

So did the pine cone perform 4yu as well as it did 4MacGyver?
Or did yu bust that as a myth?

My take?
All he had done in those shows were based on sound scientific & various principles...
However, the results/effects are not, in reality, as dramatic as played out in that series...

ps. Fyi me even used a few of his sequences as examples in my presentations @that time!

Btw re brake dust probs in rear drums, if only P1 inherited the drum design in previous Mitsu Galant...
The drums cld easily b removed as a separate pc ie w/o touching the wheel bearings at all!!
Juz a simple screw...and the drum comes off!!

That way simple periodic DIY clearance of brake dust & gen maintenance of rear drums can b done so easily!!

Luckily yr dad x= MacGyver...

Moreover we're nvr in such desperate situations as MacGyver alwaz finds himself in wan!
For us, help is juz a call away...
Haha!

Juz2share...

Rber this recent DIY...?


Well, since they were of good Q & me kinda want 2ensure my beloved Gaga wld nvr b w/o its gleaming shiny handles...
Me juz got a 2nd set!! Juz in case...
Moreover DIY replacement is so simple...juz 1 screw away nia...



These wld truly stand out & give a kind of "classy" look & feel 2our humble Gaga...
More so if the ride is dark-coloured eg Black, Dark Blue...even Red!


ps. Me hv been nicknamed "The Spare Man" by uknohu lo...

Tks 4yr clarification, Bro!

Yup, practically all of the "gimmicks" used in that series do hv sound basic principles...
Juz that many details had been kinda intentionally omitted 2give those dramatic screen effects 4viewers' entertainment!

Main reason why kids shld hv adult guidance when watching such shows...juz in case...

Me rber the worst scenario where a kid wearing a Superman-like costume fell 2his death thinking he cld fly like the film superhero...

Hi Bro...

Opening up rear brake hubs is simple enuf...
However, the BIG prob with the design of Gaga rear hubs is when re-tightening the self-locking nut back with the correct torque...

Under pokok mechs hv their experience-taught judgement by feel...
Unfortunately, that won't do 4under-own-porch DIY...

To do so, one wld need a properly calibrated Torque Wrench...which is NOT cheap...

ps. Me had an un4getable experience after a P1 SC mech did so 4my ole gen Saga & OVERtightened the hub nut!!
He did NOT use a Torque Wrench (felt the SC shld hv one) & his feel was not experienced enuf...
My hub & bearings were smoking all the way on the HiWay...

1 reason why me lost confidence in SCs...

Conclusion 2my story in the ps. In earlier post?

Had 2go 2a reliable recommended under pokok mech...
Cleaned inside of whole drum...contaminated by melted grease!
Changed new bearings...damaged!
Changed new brake shoes...contaminated by melted grease!

Luckily hub shaft still re-usable altho with "burnt" marks...

ALL that damage juz cos chking/servicing/cleaning rear drum brakes...

Hi Bro...

If worried/concerned abt Warranty...

Only 1 good pc of advice is valid :

** Keep yr ride in 100% STOCK condition...
Keep it that way till Warranty period is over...

Me?

Enjoyed my Gaga from its Day #2!
And hv been doing anything & everything which makes my ride enjoyable & me happy...

Join me?

Hi Bro...

Pls chk yr User Manual...
How 2do so shld b incl in it....

No la, Bro...

Me was 2bz learning abt new ride so no time think abt wat 2add/mod lo...

Hi Bro...

Believe me...me dun even kno who was SA who supplied the car!!
Nor from which P1 branch/dealer...
Got a call, went back & car was waiting in porch!

Frm time of placing order 2time of delivery, me did nothing...
Din even sign any papers!!

Nvr ever knew it was that easy 2buy a new car...until that day!!
Frankly it was truly a "Godsent" car... A "miracle" in my Life!!

Hi Bro...

2 points worth commenting as noteworthy in yr post...

1. NEVER buy a car juz based on wat one reads in adverts...
2. Frankly IINM it does not matter if one buys a P2 or even T/H or even V&W makes....
Yu'd b surprised at the probs buyers face after paying so much xtra 4their "highly-rated" choices...
Pls do chk arnd...

Anyway like 1 Bro put it oledi, it's your manee...
Good Luck!

Hi Bro...

Sorry 2hear re F1 brake light...
Very very thin wires used la...

Took mine off some time back liao...
Replaced with 2 x Red LED strips...stuck below rear reflectors...
Better but no blinking...

This post has been edited by zeone: Sep 2 2013, 06:42 PM

Ya lo...
Wires like "micro" gauge thin nia!!
Worse than those used 4CNY/Xmas lights...

Better & safer 2use own cabling...

Oh? No warning wan?

Actually expected oledi...
Juz a matter of time nia...

Juz chked news...
UP 20sen/L !!
No joke...at 1 go...
Govt take back all previous reductions!!
