Charade Is Dead a story of an unfortunate little car

dah jadi ayah... huh
really.. sometime i do feel a bit strange, exited, content, exited when holding my own child...
i mean it...

Its november
and it has been quite some time i didn't manage to have a peep on this blog.. poor you
been a hectic schedule nowadays... been traveling thousands of miles...
sometime the body might be asking some break...

there's been too much left unsaid...
nevermind... i'll try my best to keep me updated
this blog is more to a diary of the restoration process of my car... to remind me of something great im doing..

later k!

alternator confirmed
fucker la

got a bit exited.. but then another problem mounting up
later lah i update... really not in the right mood now

last weekend got call from adi, someone is selling his fullspoiler fast!
so i jumped out of bed, and with full of enthusiasm and energy i get dressed up
but then, it turns out to be that the original caller cannot be contacted.

god knows how heartbroken i am that moment, im speechless... and i sat down in a corner saying nothing while looking at the laptop but actually doing nothing

but i tend to pamper myself, pujuk2 diri... so went out to see adi at kayu bdr permaisuri.. but things get worse, on my way back, after refueling , the battery suddenly gave out...

had to ask for help, but lucky i got spare jumper inside... the chinese guy who helped me was driving a quite rare mazda 323 old model, 1.8 injection engine, original sunroof, 2doors coupe... damn he's cool and kind..

now, got to find a brand new stupid battery... i might opt for the oldschool type of wetcell battery.. thing is i dono when to search for it...

im still craving for the fullspoiler bonnet... :((

i think i'd love to get a new name for my g11...
kinda weird i haven't decided any names yet though ive been driving (him/her - *jantan ka pompuan ah keta ni? haha.. ) for seven standard years.. damn damn

so.. whats ok ah?

today will take em to a grand total of +-100KM trip
nyehnyehnyeh

nak bawak bini pi jalan jalan naik charade... haha..
selamat tinggal waja.. hang buleh pi masuk neraka mulai hari ini
hahaha

hey!
the car is ready
mind to share with you this though u'll never understand the feeling

the car feel fit, a bit more tough than before when it feels like 'lembik', squidy feeling, pondan, underpowered...
ok now i have to pantang pulak for another say... 1and a half month or about 3k km on my rough calculations before i can get it overreved it and test it...

cost me a good amount of 2743 but with all the replacement parts are brand new and suci and virgin, i think i'd take that...ya la some might say "eh kan dah boleh buat downpayment kereta lain tu" heck you la... abes bulan2 sapa nak bayaq??

new oversized pistons, new piston rings, new conrod bearings (conrod stands for connecting rod not connek rod or confident rod (ref : padil on conman topic) ), rebored block, new sets of engine gaskets, a polished crankshaft, valve seat, polished sana sini sikit2 hehehehe etc etc...

check out some of the pic oke? sexy as bitch i tell you


strikingly yellow.. not showing this.. nanti mula la nak cakap kaler hindu la apa la


new sets of g11r meter. the rpm is not yet alive but im working on it. nanti la rev sampai 8ribu...


hehehehehhe


daihatsu or die-hard-su... but its damn cool

rock your way up!

boleh tak aku nak tanya, sebenarnya blog ni pasal apa hah?
aku rasa macam dah cacamarba dah
*monolog dengan blog sendiri

this fucking streamyx is fucking slow i feel like fucking it!!
Screw you TM!!!!

tengah ym ngan zai

tiba2 aku baru teringat... too many places aku tak penah pi lagi
pasaipa aaa dulu mak aku cukup tak bagi aku pi berkelah dipantai yang indah, bermacam acara digubah, bermain dan berkawan kawan, menyanyi bersukaannn..
adalah yang menari nariii
adalah yang menyanyi..
adalah yang melompat lompat
ada yang cari tempat

rombongan pun tak pernah tau
takkan la pasai aku pernah kantoi tiru sain parent aku semata2 aku pi camping pengakap dan nak menjalankan tugas aku sebagai quatermaster ternama sekolah rendah aku dulu aa?

still wondering

its actually quite disturbing watching tv's lately
does it have to be all about late micheal jackson?
do we have to be dead to be rememberred?

tak suka la

wow...
the piston wobbling like hell
so ... whats the best?
rebore the block
replace with an oversized piston

i warn those 1.3 sissies out there...

more and more coins to flow
anybody up for soft loans?

just sharing some pictures

the decision is in place
the plan is layed down
now its time for us to walk towards the end

or... translated in a better mood

- im letting go the waja
- i sent small lil' charade to workshop
- the project is on!
- just wait when myg11 is back and kickin'

today, my wife has been retrenched
so... what to say?
i cant say anything but to rallied out my troops as we all would do
asking here and there if theres any vacancies
manage to get few and fowarded her resume
god this might be the hardest time... and it took just 3 month to our marriage to be swamped with problems...

but alhamdulillah thank goodness i still have some small cushion on my financial spendings...

so now... i have to take control

first thing is to let go the proton waja
and then the charade... now its truely dead... i'll buy another later....
when she get her new job, i might get a cheaper car, ie BLM or something...
me?
my bike is there.. so im gonna use it...

major restructuring is in place

don't know whats really going on with me
but the some part of laskar pelangi's song really give me some peace
rock on nidji!

i write when i have something to say
when im expressing my feelings
when i felt dissapointed of some things
when nobody would ever listen
when no one would ever take notice
when i feel like this is the place for me to release it but it never be
when im upset
when im downbeat

but thats the milestone i think i sould remember, so i write

betulla kata zai, bulan 6 ni bulan gatai meghela...
and ive been posting regularly (and crazily)

been keeping the video for quite a time
now its time to share

check out this video
i rate this as the best ever version of canon rock cover



enjoy~!!

feels like looking down and ponder the next move
im not giving up my hope restoring her to a damn desireable condition
though i've been conviced by myself, im alone in this fight
but ill never give up...
tengok la nanti...

herm
know what?
yesterday, after coming back from work, i tried to look at the car...
and after foruming with some charaders online, i might figure out whats really went wrong
the starter might giving up...
try to crank yesterday and engine come alive! then i went up and eat some good chapati
and this morning, i tried again and the same problem happens... but i tried the second, and the third, and then i somewhat manage to crank the car... so now i know the tricks...
and... as long as the car ever cranked, i think im not going to anything about it...

im frustrated
dah la nak cari bumper depan belakang + fullspoiler in which i craved the most susah gila

suddenly, a feeling came out from nowhere
it sounds like this

'i should stop playing with the charade, get something else'

it makes me wonder
did gave my mom and dad a call during lunchbreak
and somewhat suprisingly, both are giving the same feedback
'its quite useless ler to maintin that car since its better to get something better... buat rugi ja'
and it really makes me wonder....

what im doing is my spirit... my soul... nobody could ever smells it
but, what they are saying and i believe others might to, is also damn sensible
im at the junction where i don't know where to go ie : i mean, making decisions in this things laa kan...

what to do ar??????
i can't afford to pay yet another tiring monthly installment just to get a so called brand new car which, in no time would depreciate like hell... (not really i can't, but i just don't feel good about it, the last time i did it like other normal human would do has ended is somewhat a bizarre fashion, and after a hardwork you put in to.. to pamper them, surely you don't want it to be stolen *direct gila* whatsoever... it brokes my heart man... it really does)

and i dont really enjoy driving these days... it brings back memories...

how about i just give the charade a nice emotional goodbye? man i just love the car...
i tend to give up on some personal things... and that's why i've been considering this ...
don't really have a real financial push, have some, better put it in savings... at least you got something when it really needs...

no problems whatsoever with my financial discipline... just that i don't want to add things just yet to my commitment... its damn relaxing knowing that you have a nice breathing space come an end to a month...

and should this patterns continues, i guess i'll die in a smile... would love to make more but if this is what i get, then its fine with me...

herm... so whats next?

proton saga magma?
c210?
g100?
another g11?
a satria neo? hell no at this point... haha...
a combi? i'd take that anytime!!

tomorrow or later will post again yeah... keep tuning in lolitas!!!

hmm
dono how to start the day.. i couldn't even crank the car... fuck
so as normally as i would do... turn on the keys... see all the light flashing up... great... now just another turn to crank up the engine... but then.. geeshhh.. nothing happen... and from that point on... knew it!!! damn!.. knew it!.. its an alternator.. fuck... tengah2 tahun ni jangan la mintak zakat dulu..

now im considering what my mom said few month back when the radiator gave up.. 'buang ja la dalam sungai keta tu abang... beli lain'...

hmmm....

errr
its been less than a week when im ready to give the project some off time
but...
as normally happens... i bought a new meter and a set of turbo version side mirror
confirmed and banked in oredi to seller..

why the hell in this world when you tend to give up something and it keeps on coming

btw, im in a rainy mood when i missed a full spoiler yesterday...
man i'd would've pay any amount had the other seller in mudah decided to sell it to me.. and i won't mind ikat perut at all for that thing
but.. its a respect and full understanding of "Queue" i guess...

wifey bought me a remote control car last night :p
ok la for 29.90 auldey, 49mhz transmission as it claims hehehehe.

hmmm... die cast car collection is on-going....
periodic action figures (starwars) is seasonal but still alive...
i might be end up opening a toy store one day geesh!

but before all that could ever happen, let me complete the once abandoned project, i know its slow... but its moving..

normal business resume~!

the project has to be called off for a while :D
biasala memanjang kena kensel project due to other interests hihihih
tv tak beli lagi
peti ais pun tak beli lagi...

soon baby... soon...

This march...
im going to get married...
so charadeisdead might take a time off a bit..
this project shall continue right after...
mind you, charade project might took a lifetime to complete so..
its time to play!!

last week, as usual, browsed over a forum, and then i found out one guy is selling his CB23 engine complete with gearbox etc for 200..

did give him a call, and after a short discussion, i agree to buy his engine, now the charade is in the garage, conversion process, forgot lah to snap some picture the day i sent him in

nevermind, today i'll be going to pick him up, so i'll update with some picture, and tomorrow, with a new driving experience

:D

hail charade, hail freedom...

- do not give me any false hope, especially when it involves trust

there are some people who are tend to speak nice words to comfort others down, but, don't give any false hope in the process...

two or three people had promised me to help out with the car repair costs, but, till today, NOTHING materialized... guess i have to do it on my own once again.

i kinda weird when you work your socks off to make others dream a reality, but none have they did to help yours.

butuh la syam ni kacau... haha... later!

Yesterday, got a troublesome day and night when the temperature suddenly shoot up the limit.
Guess it was some sort of evaporation or something... but one thing that never crossed my mind is that the radiator might be somewhat leaking...

So after the first incident, i did refill the radiator and left it to cool itself. but somewhere around 9PM when i was driving back from the office, suddenly the temperature shoot up once again, leaving me stranded by the roadside for about half and hour when i realized that im running on no water / cooling at all... it was then i stopped at a petrol station and refill the radiator when i noticed that the water keeps coming out from nowhere. so i brought some water with as spare.

and guess what, i lt only lasts for about 9-10km before that fucking radiator started to give out again... so i stopped and refill... and it took me about 5 pitstops before i reached home.

and today, after 5 more stops to the office, i manage to get the things fixed. the total cost is fuh... a rare amount of RM275...

- changed the whole upper part of the radiator, re-serviced the radiator
- hopefully the engine will be as cold as ice afterwards...



the picture shows the newly replaced radiator





so i guess that this might me my time...

A Perodua kenari just now did hit my g11 when she was reversing ... damn!
lucky me the headlight and the frame was not broken, or i'll kill her!
however the car still has some noticeable dent since it was like straight to the front edge...
cat-eye conversion anyone?

heres some picture to tell




but, decided not to take the matter further lah... let her be... because i know how bad her car conditions are :))

Hi...
Just wanna post and share some stories about my lil unfortunate g11
unfortunately its been some years now i haven't been able to complete it or make it a better car..

nak bagi jadi macam ni ja pun hati dah senang mati dalam imannn

come on bebeh... 7 years and counting

and im hoping that sometime i'll be able to make it as i always wish for..
