Why the sadness? It's not like I'm leaving Shawie thread

I'm still very much in love with this little monster. It's just that impractical for me to drive this small car for long distance on a daily basis anymore. For the past 1.5 years, I've been punishing it thoroughly. I really couldn't keep up with the regular maintenance on such a small engine and barely surviving on my 3.6krpm everyday 3 hours straight in KL-Seremban hiway, let alone evening 2 hours jam with a 40 tons truck clutch from Sg.Besi all the way to Sri Damansara.
The FC is still my champion after many cars I've own. Performance also on par due to very competitive power to weight ratio, not to mentioned it's being greatly improved by MAG1C in Senawang. Am very happy also, today managed to "TRANSFER" performance to
FlammingFox on his little silver monster. We went out for a shotgun ride to test performance, feels a lot like pointing a magnum to a shooting duck and fire. I hope this legacy lives and benefit to my fellow Shawian in Low Yat forum for a very-very long time to come.
Meanwhile, I'll still be around until next TS come and take over. Even that happens, I will still be around as a Plotong owner to give support to this little fun compact car. Who knows, 1 fine day I earn enough dough and start my own Shawie specialist workshop, then I'll be collecting Shawies and make them nice-nice infront of my shop

good to know at least you're still keeping the passion... i am still looking for opportunities/$ so that i can get the iswara back in shape for pasir gudang hehe.
the AD08R in the kitchen could use some exercising

oh and i just got to DIY replace the wiper motor after 16 years the ori denso has been with the car

supposedly ori/oem mitsinbo? the dead ori on the iswara was denso lol
its slightly cheaper than the part price list, at around 185/196 including gst.
the rear motor on the price list is 1.2k mitsubishi part number

next weekend will go to some exhaust shops and get the leaking exhaust fixed lol
