huh huh?? tt start wat time?? maybe can drop by after work

err...can someone put a wikimapia link to sunway mentari mamak?
and i got a laptop, so rkjsoo really virtual tt??

my car sometimes have...but its very lil. i observed it when i washed my car after driving for sometime. just minor condensation, will disappear right after the air temperature equalizes

it helps, but not 100% now since some dust particles has ended up in your cooling coil, combined with condensed water and gone stale.

i think your seat belt is hidden under your seat, try lifting it out, should find it there

when driving with no abs, must brake carefully on wet grounds

this is not normal, i frequent 120kmh, everything should be stable and performing as it does at lower speeds.

a taste of things to come

:




a close up of the worst hit area




jammed my rear door shut


wheel arch went in so far until it touching my tire, then i somehow managed to pry it loose a bit so i could drive home

my doors!!!


my right mirror


left side






even the darn left fender needs respray


cause?
time was around 9pm when a SLK, stupid lil kancil who exit try to turn out of smart tunnel lane at jalan tun razak(sg besi bound). SLK was making a sudden lane change and came too close to my car, i had to stop....well its a gentle stop. but heavy rain and slippery road, recipe for disaster.

a 3-ton truck brake and turn hard right in an attempt to prevent collision. it almost turned turtle in the attempt, lost control, skidded and ramp up the divider. then a hilux hit the rear of that truck, and that hilux is pretty banged up. radiator puncture, broken intakes, i guess engine mounting is a goner too and strange colored liquids oozing out of the bottom of the engine compartment. the bonet can be sent to the scrap metal factory and of course broken windscreen.

Human casualties: NONE, wearing rear seat belts saved the hilux's passenger from injuries.

my rough damage assessment;

new parts needed:
rear windscreen
rear windscreen tinting
rear right lights array
rear bumper
right side doors
right side mirror

panel repair for rear fender and wheel arch

a new paint job is gonna be need for;
2 sided mirrors
all 4 doors
front left fender
rear bumper
rear fender panels on both sides

my repair cost estimate: RM8k, thank god the chassis was not distorted.

drive safe and always buckle up behind.

well, at least it still drives straight. thanks to the lorry driver's experience and swift action.if direct crash really need to carry on flatbed trucks already

haizzz....bad luck. i got a relative dealing used cars, so he's got some friends at the workshop. so i'll pass it to him and let him handle everything

more importantly, no one needs to be brought out of the scene with an ambulance.

the hilux went under the lorry, if not for seat belt, the passenger and driver will be smack on the windscreen

that SLK never drive through the tunnel, just about to enter then make a lane change at the divider. no choice had to stop, then i didn't notice the lorry hasn't completely overtaken me. i could have driven straight and risked a side mirror, i could have used gone to mcD for dinner before going home...so many what if's....

my car went side ways and hit that SLK anyway, that stupid gal came out almost crying as the lorry driver gave her a good lecture

i feel like buying one of those crap volvo now.... put it on ngv and run about the city in like an amour car.

if old tanks are available for purchase, it can be considered too...anything stupid drivers who simply change lanes, i won't even bother

check your chassis and engine no.
see if it matches.

alternative 1, send to accessories shop and add a sensor/switch under the bonnet

alternative 2, send to accessories shop and install a few pieces of metal to prevent the thief from pulling the release cable.

using a metal hook, through the grill...pull hard on the bonnet release cable. should open.

bonnet sensor is cheap item....get it installed at any accessories shop.
