mycarforum: Just got a new set of shoes for my ride!! part 2

for me...was having same thinking as u when inside...after get out...kinda think back of good memories...though wouldnt wanna do it all over again

haha field camp and stuff quite fun la..but do again super sian...and my camp super cmi tatz why i wanna faster get out!!!

I felt the radiator & was not too hot, so I tot OK. But when I opened it all hell broke loose with coolant spraying all over the place.

Other that touching the radiator pipe to feel how hot its is like Xtraun mentioned, another safety precautious is to place a cloth over the radiator cap before opening, so that in case any water gushing out can be 'contained'.

When I was younger I witness the hot water gushing out when my Dad was opening the radiator cap, ever since I'm very careful if I were to open the cap.

not much suggestion to help u get by the dayz...juz live day by day...

ah yes...forgo to add in..sometimes if i kw sure will overflow, will use a wet cloth...trick is slowly release the cap a bit and let the pressure out...after which quite safe to open liao

guess need u guys here to gif me some info about this damage...this morning when i woke up walk to the car park and i was shocked from my half wake half sleep mood..

some bast**ds damaged my car... i showed it to my dad and he say is someone accidently bang onto it but i dun tink so, so need u guys to gif comments.

below are the attached pics

wah...most likely something heavy landed on the side of ur car...maybe one chap bang into ur car and chao..

U may need to go for some bang bang to hit the fenders back...but for left with a few months...think best is live with it

shd try touching the radiator top piping....that one shd be quite accurate in telling iszit hot

==========================

Tried touching the top part of the radiator & it didn't feel too hot but I guess I was overconfident.

hm...guess i'll leave the vehicle for 2 hrs b4 i do the coolent operation...haha..if not later i got roasted hands

==========================

Be careful as even 2 hrs is not enough sometimes.

Like the others say, check & feel top of rad & top hose, Then use cloth to open rad cap, just in case.

I've done it so many times, so I was overconfident lah.

You r right. Using the cloth as a precaution is the best. But strangely, when the hot water sprayed on my hand, it never seemed to burn or blister???

It happened to me several times already but it never blisters. Just turns red for a day or too then it's back to normal.Even though it steaming hot. Very strange?

I think most probably some large vehicle like a truck hit your car.

I always think goods vehicles sud have a section designated for them to park, away from other cars.

They r not too careful when parking as hitting another vehicle won't make much difference to them & also most of those trucks r not driven by the owners, so they don't care too much.

Since your car is already old & going to scrap soon, just leave it be. It dosen't affect the handling & safety of your car in any way.

maybe u shd have waited much longer

with a bit of skill, no need to wait at all...my previous mech simply used a cloth and release a little of the cap to release pressure..after that...the pressurised coolant overspill till stop...then it's safe to remove cap liao

same here...kana once...also red for 1 day or so, then without blister ...

Best is to do it in the morning when engine is totally cold as mentioned earlier.

Otherwise u prob get coolant all over the engine bay.

Remember u have to wash all that stuff away as its not good for the paint & who knows what.

the worst part my here no truck..coz i live in a condo...and when i park my car's butt was facing outside so how can it be some arse bang? if so also back kena where will front kena de...

icic..at least still better den my...my ride's fc i tink only 7 to 8 km/l only

u driving a RX-7 huh

i wish it is..but sadly itz only a 323

Maybe you would like to check with your security, whether are there any trucks that came in lately.

to ur old workhorse bro. 2 bad we r here in SG, else u can do wat the pple r doin in other countries. They select v.old cars, dip out the old engine, put in a performance engine & mod it to match those current performance vehicles. Some may even b faster than new sports cars. I recon the guy in his latest performance car will b surprised when he's overtaken by 'antique' cars

U can flip thru imports/overseas magazines like Hot4s, Imports tuner etc to see wat pple r doing to old cars

Cheers

i've checked..he say dun haf...even the bangala who wash my car said 5 am in the morning he wash, he didn't see the paint chip off mark...

could it be some kiddos??

once i drove along a 2 way single lane..out of nowhere...a string of kiddos on bmx came onto my way...dented my bonnet and cracked my bumper

haha yea....my last time ite classmate who stay in malaysia called me up somewhere around last year saying he got a 1.5 323 engine block ask me wan anot..call me drive my car to my and get it swapped...haha...i wanted to but my dad dun allow..haiz

hm...i suspect too...but well neva really see can't really pin point who did it...but for my car the body is so hard how can a kiddo make such a damage?

theoritically cannot...cos of the s/n thingy...but u kw lah..heh heh

huh s/n???

high impact..eg like the L bar scooter...which kiddos like to play

orh icic...yea understand...hm...better hope nothing of this happened again...if not i really gonna scream at my condo carpark liaoz

i mean serial number

sometimes this kind of thing is a bit of heng suay too

orh yea...i heard got those can punch one...same as the s/n of the car...

last time my fren's civic do b4..

the worst part my here no truck..coz i live in a condo...and when i park my car's butt was facing outside so how can it be some arse bang? if so also back kena where will front kena de...

=============================

Any security cameras (CCTV) in the vicinity which might have caught something suspcious?

nope my condo very stingy one...no cctv at all...carpark is open air somemore....

Have you check the car washer push cart?

the ah neh push cart?....possibly also

I am guessing and hope I do not implicate anyone. Just that I have seen hand made push cart with angle bars that might cause such damage. Am guessing...

maybe u are right!!!

hee...

, I sounded like some busy body.

hm...i'll check with tat ah neh tonite...dun remember him using a push cart..

I feel that it seems ot be caused not by a large vehicle but a verticle object like a cart of shifting so cabinets etc.

yea got this feeling too...but my condo large vehicle are not allowed to enter so can strike off liaoz..i tink itz some ppl's mischief

also, have a look at the garbage collectors, battery operated primer and trolley.

Don't mean to rub salt, it is just a car, maybe you might feel better.

haha okok..well actually this car so old le..heart not as pain as those who's car are new...just cannot stand this kind of ppl who damaged other ppl's car den run away

Agree. Learnt to take a car as an object for travel. Had this happened to me a few times.

haha icic..will try to...but i simply love this car...tatz why got feelings for it

I'd feel the same way too if someone damage my car......

i wish it is..but sadly itz only a 323

i can see that...that's why we are scratching our heads for u for the possibilities

...good combination

think u put it in classified...good price i must say

haha

pei seh..trouble u all out there...well it has already happened so i'll just live with it!! haiz

no prob...u r always welcome

hee...bro wad car u driving btw?

old swift

oic...those hatch back kind huh??? 1 liter or 1.3??

mine is sedan. 1 litre.

oic...well heard tat ride not bad...my army driving instructor is driving one hatch back model

am very satisfied with it except for lack of power...1litre only nia.....

icic...hm..neva do something to the engine?? when the COE finish?

still got 6 yrs...engine boleh....not much thing to do on it...but add some accessories to car, and has subwoofer..to enjoy a bit of bass

oic..still quite long...for my left 10 mths more...didn't do much to the car only just changed the rim and the HU unit and speakers when the car was bought

wat's ur plan after 10 mths??

i dunno..well itz all up to my dad...dunno whether he'll buy car anot...

now coe car so cheap....14-15k can get one ok liao and then we can go cheong together...

haha but worth it to get COE car meh?? itz like everything pay double..

road tax 150%, den high maintainence, den old cars FC not so gd and lotsa problem will arise out of no where

i mean it is cheaper in terms upfront...lower cost price. road tax, get up to 1.3litre...hence won't have to pay hefty road tax, maintenance wise - need to find good workshop to replace faulty items with

price, FC wise many bros driving the 1.3litre corolla can get around 12km/litre while mine can hit 14-16km/litre...

so far my repair cost around $1.5k...it depends where u repair and the worksmanship. Some even hit up to 3.6k for repair.

new cars think cheapest is 36k++...but is korean..not sure if take 10 yrs loan, it can last till then and repair cost is a ? mark.

icic...well actually i've been looking at those toyota corolla 1.3..g7 model if i'm not wrong...cost about $18,800 but haven't pop the question to my dad yet!!

tell u wat, after 10 mths...the g7 shd be around $15k or so..that'll be a good time to take the plunge liao

haha really??hm... can consider...

at the rate coe is going down and coe cars also depreciate yearly, consumers are at winning end

icic let's say if my dad were to scrape the car now and able to get back about $1900+ izzit worth to change to tat car now?

Yup. Can see COE car prices dropping liow. The dealers cannot hold on to them for too much longer as the new car prices don't seem to b going up soon.

Every day they hold it, is 1 day less on the balance coe period. They bought hoping to make a killing but if they hold too long, it's them who will get killed.

Just b careful & do your sums first. Most dealers paid slightly more or just the scrap price for those cars & there is still a large profit of about $8K on each car slod. Add in the "extras" u have to pay & it's still bonous time when they sell one.

Hold back a while longer & if the new car prices don't shoot up, u sud b able to gat a good bargain if u r good at playing poker.

Then it's time to take revenge on those dealers.

haha icic....gonna make them lose $$ like mad eh!!

18,800 - 1900 = 16900...calculate...worth it

yes the dealers only pay for the remain value nia...each car earn like siao

haha den izzit worth it to get get back my licences plate number too?>?

get back number plate...think u must pay a token sum...if it's a bit and u like the number, why not.

my first choice was 1.3 corolla...then.

but due to no stock..took the swift...only complain - no power windows and insufficient horsepower

not bid la..it came along with this current...but i like this number alot..

since u like it..keep it lor...

I'm also quite superstitious...like stuff like feng shui, lucky numbers, beads, crystals etc...quite interesting

haha icic..dunno leh..after all this car number been thru me thick and thin!!

hee...keep us updated when u get new ride

thinking of organising a meet up for all coe cars bros...wat u think bros??

sure np!! will try to talk to my dad...hee...
tat will be great man....if itz on...let me knoe..if time permits i'll go..

will be putting up a thread at meetup folder

try convince ur dad...now it's consumer market liao

our time to

those bengz dealers

haha sure np!!!....threat up let me knoe!!

sure sure....keen to meet up with u bro

Cheers

yup...guess u'll be shock to see my current ride...alot of dent here and there..

no worries...i'm really impressed how this ride is still going strong

haha just maintain it every 2 mths...but on and off got hiccups here and there..like yesterday the brake oil suddenly gone empty...den go mech there top up today check starts to drop again...guess somewhere leaking..

worst of all the brake pump just changes last year!

quickly scrap or trade in, get back $$ rather than repair,...waste $$...mai tu liao!!

lol...all this is done by my dad...i can't really do much...after i'm just 22 wad can i do?? lol

haha icic....gonna make them lose $$ like mad eh!!

======================

It'll b difficult to make them lose like mad, but we can try, can't we.

yup yup true!!!

yes the dealers only pay for the remain value nia...each car earn like siao

=================================

I think giving them a profit of abt $2K seems reasonable. I wud wait for the right time when the market is really slow, then "Let's play poker boys".

Never visit a dealer when u r desprate or already made up your mind to get such & such a car. Go in with an open mind & b prepared to walk away without buying anything.

That way there is no pressure on u. Time is on your side as the dealers r already bleeding like a menstruating mongrel.

oh..normally where do ur dad sent the car for repair??

haha coz they already lost $$ rite?

frankly,, they are quite stubborn cos even u walk away, they also bochap...

i like ur analogy....crude but it's true

orh..he sends it to his old fren who has been servicing his cars during his younger days...some where near jurong there..

iszit cheap and good?

yup...guess u'll be shock to see my current ride...alot of dent here and there..

==============================

Recently saw a dk blue ford laser ES plate, I think. Must b "82 car or something. Looked like in quite good shape. The body at least. Cud'nt tell about the mechanicals.

You'll b quite surprised that some cars hitting 30 years & still running fairly well. These cars prob never been whacked by their owners, I guess.

erm...normal servicing like change of engine oil, spark plug and oil filter he charge me $60

haha coz they already lost $$ rite?

=======================

Not so much lose $$$. Just that they earn less $$$.

frankly,, they are quite stubborn cos even u walk away, they also bochap...

==============================

That's OK. We also can b Bo Chap. For all u know after we leave, he go toilet & cry like a baby.

haha ya lor...there's once i been to the car mart at west coast, this lady from car times keep showing me the cars den end up i tell her i go back consider..felt dam bad sia..waste so much of her time!

my servicing include all of the above as u mentioned, less engine oil for 27 bucks

oic...wad kind of engine oil u use??

my mech uses castrol 20w40 which i dun tink itz gd..

aiyah dun need feel paisay ...that's their job...sales tok sales tok...

U cannot feel bad when buying a car. Remember, they r the enemy. Did u consider that u also waste your own time? And u had to spend money to go see the car whereas she was already there & her time wasted was much less than yours.

If she showed u a great car at a great price, and u bought it, then your time was not wasted.

when i first started out also used castrol 20w40 with filter, spark plugs for 38 bucks.

then change to CAS mineral oil, next cxxxxxe 15w40, then to castrol 15w40 -excellent oil...then to CAS synthetic (think is Unicorn brand)

now using a trax brand 15w40...

intend use Mobil 10w30 for next oil change.

Got best FC when using CAS oil...dunno why also.

haha icic...okok...

icic..got a few seniors here intro me mobil Delvac MX 15w40 should try this next oil change next mth..hee!!

u can try that...think not bad too

icic..okok next time i go top up petrol will buy tat..tink cost about $38 ah for 5 liter

see got offer...38 bucks a bit hefty....some places selling 28 bucks for castrol 15w40
