Audi TTS

2012-03-08T20:01:00.004+08:00

A very lucky chance for me to actually had the opportunity to shot this beast. It's not any ordinary Audi TT you get to buy off from the used car/Audi dealer, this one is a one of kind - Audi TTS.
Google for "Audi TTS" if you wish to know the differences between this and a TT.

I'll start off with a see-thru hood.

Gorgeous headlamp with DRL.

Ultra Racing front strut for the TT/TTS.

Awesome TFSI, this one's lightly modded which runs around 290hp on wheels.

Close up on the caliper, one of the part which identify the TTS.

Wrong focus point.

Mazda RX-8 Facelift

2012-03-07T07:47:00.003+08:00

Not something new but I love this car. Spotted this during wedding fair at Mid Valley KL.

Fan of Hello Kitty

2012-03-03T14:58:00.003+08:00

Must be a big fan of Hello Kitty!

Hottie spotted at Genting Highland

2012-02-29T13:26:00.004+08:00

Be it genuine or poser. It's cool !
I am not too sure whether this is a genuine M3 since its from Singapore and there's no clue to read the hint from its roadtax. Still, it's hot!

New Hyundai Elantra (MD)

2012-02-28T16:56:00.008+08:00

A new Elantra show up at Ultra Racing the other day. For your information this is a Singapore plated Elantra since it wasn't officially launched in Malaysia yet.

It was here for new Ultra Racing parts fabrication. Forget about that for the moment and enjoy the pictures below:

Everything's nice except for the torsion beam.

Soular Pot and Iwate Ramen - Sri Petaling

2012-02-27T12:18:00.003+08:00

Cousin dragged us out for dinner and this restaurant run by a local radio station DJ is the place. "Soular Pot and Iwate Ramen" is the name.

Place is neat. My cute little niece just can't stop posing whenever she spots a camera.

Green tea. Cheapest drink for me, lol. They're bottomless anyway at the cost of Rm 3 each.

I never remember their name but their ramen shares the same soup. I am never a big fan of ramen but this one is good!
My hot and spicy ramen. Chillies can be requested to be served separately so that you can decide how spicy you want it to be.
Japanese style fried dumpling, served in Pizza shape. Taste good !
Japanese pastry served with cheese (I think) and mayonnaise.
Everything is nice..except for the pricy, it is a little costly from what it looks.

Wide angle attempt

2012-02-23T14:00:00.003+08:00

Some random shots using the wide angle converter, enjoy the pictures.

Not so bad afterall eh? The only thing I don't like is the blacked out parts on each of the edges.

Battery grip for my Nikon D5000

2012-02-22T00:04:00.003+08:00

Battery grip with extra batteries fitted. Shooting vertically with style for long hour!

Daidomon Japanese BBQ Buffet

2012-02-21T00:16:00.009+08:00

Working hard without enjoying life is dull, I had mine at Daidomon Japanese BBQ after work.
The place had very nice environment and not crowded. (Maybe it is due to week day?)
Sushi counters, not much choice for items ready here. Items in the menu are only on demand and shall be served from here.
I seriously love this place.
Bar tender which serve drinks and ice cream here.
Food shown on menu can be ordered at no limit. Chicken, fish, mutton, seafood, lamb and even ostrich meat here. Serves no pork!
You get to choose quite a lot of sashimi here if you don't like some of the food like salmon to be cooked.
Very fresh prawn, cooked in BBQ style.
Very fresh salmon sashimi.
Chicken wings, you've got to have some skill in order to cook this thoroughly without messing it up.
I don't know what you call this but it doesn't taste so good as it looks.
Photographer's busy with his routine.
While my lady's busy with cooking.
I hardly dip any of the sauce given. These food can be eaten directly which it tastes so good without any extra sauce.
What's up with that face?
Unlimited ice cream refill, eat all you can.
Check out their website for more information on location if you're planning for a visit.

New gear for my Nikon D5000

2012-02-19T20:09:00.004+08:00

Got my Tamron SP AF17-50m F/2.8, speedlite YN460-II and wide angel + macro convertor today. Stuff I've wanted to buy since long time ago !

Doraemon World 2012

2012-02-09T18:59:00.016+08:00

This event has been going on for quite sometime but I just don't have the chances to go since it started I was back in Sandakan during the launch. It was the last Sunday when I came back to KL and I've decided to pay a visit there.
Expected to be crowded so I went up at 6am, applied Genting World Card (You get Rm 5 credit in the Doraemon edition touch and go card if you've got the Genting World Card), had some fun in the casino and went back to the Entrance at 9:30am, I thought I was early...in fact..this is what I saw:

Freaking crowded!

It took almost an hour to get these ticket, think twice if you thought I am about to go inside after purchasing the ticket.

There is another long queue where you queue up at the entrance, yes the first 1 hour queue was only for the tickets.

About 20 minutes before entering, this is when I finally had the chance to get near to the big Doraemon near to the entrance.

Finally about to exchange for the Touch N Go card at the entrance after a total of 2 hours 30 minutes of waiting.

This shit worth more than just 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Think we're started to explore after taking the Touch N Go card? No, it's another long queue before the whole thing began.

The main reason for this long queue is that they limits number of people for each group and there is a very limited time at each "Room" inside the event.

Huge comic book, there is actually a tunnel before entering this room which simulates the one in the anime where you will become tiny once you enter the tunnel. Hence this is the big comic book you'll see.

Every Doraemon's fans will know this for sure.

Doraemon with Dorayaki !

Character introduction.

Second room - Nobita's room with Doraemon and Dorami !

Doraemon's piggy bank.

Nobita with family at their dining room.

Nobita with friends at Suneo's house I guess.

Doraemon in time machine.The next is actually a paid photography section where the lady in red arrow actually yelled at me when I snap this photo, LOL !
More shops which appeared in the anime.
Dorayaki, available in durian flavor, red bean and chocolate. Mine is red bean mixed with vanila ice cream. Taste good but slightly expensive, Rm 10 each.
Art gallery of the anime.
The original form of Doraemon (Before he loses his ears)
Below are parts of gadgets appeared in the anime, name them if you know these.
The last part of the whole event, the stage where the characters perform later on.
Mini puzzle games with the public before the show starts.
Enjoy the pictures after the jump.
Love the last picture, there's nothing much to shout about in this whole event but it does light up a lot of my childhood memory.

More random photos during the last few days at Sandakan

2012-02-07T11:37:00.008+08:00

This post is all about some random photos I've taken during the last few days in Sandakan.

Balin Cafe - 7th floor off the ground, sweet place

Juices with meatballs and potatoes.

Huge things in the crocodile farm, yeah obviously they're not crocodiles.

Do these guys had any idea what they're doing?

Freaking heavy rain duing breakfast at Sim Sim again.

Heavily flooded roads. I'm glad that I'm on an Unser.

Visited the one and only AUTHORIZED Ultra Racing dealer in Sandakan - Xiang Car Accessories.

Night visit at the temple after dinner.

Last gathering dinner with relatives before heading back to KL.

Frozen edge on the window, taken while inside the plane.

I am really missing Sandakan a lot now.

More great food in Sandakan!

2012-02-01T00:39:00.006+08:00

Its beautiful morning on the second morning I arrived back to Sandakan and we're heading to crave for more food!
The famous place to have breakfast while enjoying sea view - Sim Sim

We actually visited two shops here, one at Sim Sim Bridge 7 while the other one at Bride 8.

Pei Dan Gao in curry sauce, this is really good !

Tea time at Siang Siang Pan Mee while getting Eric accompanied for his "breakfast".

It has been quite a while since I had gathering with these fellas and we just kept changing places for food and chit chat. The famous Squid with vegetables in sweet and sour sauce.

Together with the famous fried dumpling, this is really good!

Finally went to had some light beer at Taman Indah.

I just love this place. Relaxing :)

It's good to be back at home town - Sandakan

2012-01-30T11:46:00.012+08:00

It has been almost 3 years since I last travel back to my hometown - Sandakan for Chinese New Year, I booked my ticket last year during June in order to avoid extremely expensive air ticket for last minute booking.
Got up at 4am in the morning and head to LCCT, "watching" tv while waiting for boarding. It has been raining really heavily which delayed the flight for about an hour which left us waiting beside the boarding lane due to the heavy rain.

When I saw this red Jambu tree, I know that I'm home. This tree has been really that big already.

My mom's dog, she had a pig-like face. Funny fella.

Food hunting begins. The famous "Loong Zai" egg tart together with herbal tea. Best for tea time.

Had the first gathering with a bunch of buddies at the famous Seafood Bak Kut Teh. You can never find these other than Sandakan.

Had a short walk at Mile 4 Bandar Kim Fung night market, my first visit!

Nothing much but just some casual foods and drinks.

Had a small bowl of soup cooked by mom before light dinner. (As I'm heading out for more food later on)

The long awaited - Mile 4 Pasar!

Sorry about the mess, I had a few bite before taking this picture. My all time favourite gon lao mee hon with dumplings! (They don't taste so good anymore)

Got myself a cup of ice white coffe at Old Town after that. Met up with few more buddies.

Moving on to Old City Cafe in IJM after that, soft drinks. Sorry for the extremely dark photo.

Bottle of beer in front Eric's house with few more guys. (Yeah I'm insane)

Final round, another bowl of gon lao mee hon at the other stall at Mile 4 Pasar again. LoL

I AM SERIOUSLY GETTING A LOT OF WEIGHT.

OBD2 bluetooth adapter linked with Mazda 3 via Torque Pro!

2012-01-19T02:35:00.004+08:00

I've got to know about this stuff through a friend on Facebook where he used the same channel to connect his Samsung Galaxy Note to his vehicle through a OBD2 -> Bluetooth Adapter. I've been browsing online for a software as a media to this and found out that there's tons of readings you can acquire through this.

So I was thinking, why not get one for myself instead of buying the expensive Greddy Info Touch?
This adapter is really cheap, Rm99 each. Not something branded but it works like a charm, the red LED lights up whenever you plug it into your OBD2 Port.

Torque Pro - I am using the *E-hem* version so its free, do a simple google search if you want to use the Pro version instead of Lite version.

The rest of the LED starts blinking when the bluetooth connection has been established.

One good thing about this application is that it can read error code through the OBD2 port and you can even clear the simple error code other than the faulty code like O2 Sensor error in which you will need the assistance from the mechanic.

Tons of gauges and readings in you can choose to custom your own page. You get to choose what you like to show up. Green color indicates active sensor which the reading is available for your vehicle.

The default display of readings.

This application can even measure 0 - 100km/h, 0-100m and an estimated on wheel horse power!

Koyo ATF Cooler for Mazda 3 BL installed !

2012-01-10T09:46:00.003+08:00

The Mazda 3 originally comes with a water-oil-exchanger but it is way too small when it comes to aggressive driving. I don't want my auto tranny to give up so soon so I got this Koyo ATF Cooler installed at EA Autoworks.

Very neat job done by Drex Chan , this thing is working great and I can really feel the differences, even after some hard run, the gearbox is still very responsive!

Perhaps, the fastest Mazda 6 in Malaysia

2012-01-09T00:33:00.004+08:00

This Mazda 6 was featured in Hypertune Magazine recently (Don't ask me, I've forgotten which issue was it.) Very aggressive mods this monster had indeed, it was running on 300hp on wheels, it is still on its auto tranny. (With reinforced torque converter for sure)

Turbine hidden under the manifold, couldn't really snap a picture of it.

Big 6 piston caliper paired with 330mm floating rotor.

Cosworth intake manifold, this too, cost a bomb.

The engine bay is really packed and this is view is really additive !

Don't get too surprised if you get smoked by this blue monster on the road, owner is getting ready for Stage 3 400 horse power upgrade soon.

The first meet up with Mazda 3 Club Malaysia

2012-01-08T23:24:00.008+08:00

It was the first meet up (It's just me who never join any of their gathering) with the Mazda 3 club Malaysia. Met up at Hailam Kopitam at Bukit Jalil around 7:30pm.

Had light dinner before heading to Speed City @ Selangor Turf Club next. It was some casual meet up, nothing much so please just enjoy the photos after the jump.

One of the two MPS (Mazda Speed 3)at the night.

Paul's ride with 6 piston VTTR brake kit. These are not some cheapo "Brembo Cover".

The official club sticker.

We were being invited for a short convoy inside Speed City circuit and hell yeah, that's a lot of attention from the public.

If you own any of the Zoom-zoom please drop by at our official Facebook page:

New 4 pot brake system for my Mazda 3 !

2012-01-07T14:22:00.004+08:00

It has been so much of hassle getting this set of 4 piston brake kit back by myself directly from Taiwan. Glad that everything's finally over and I could finally got this set installed in my Mazda 3.

The original caliper and rotor behind the 18" wheel, damn small eh?

Original rotor vs 330mm rotor.

Finally fitted in!

Yeah it still looks small, thanks to the 18" wheels lol.
After using it for one night, found out that the braking power wasn't really that scary as described like some said but the difference is that you don't need to press that much on the pedal in order to achieve your desired braking.

Cool shit, seriously!

Mazda 3 has just got better holding power

2011-11-28T23:18:00.003+08:00

Manage to fork out some time and send my car to Kakimotor Maluri today and get the custom railing done for the Mazda 3. Million thanks to Ah Hon for spending on so much of effort in getting this done. The result is truly satisfying!

Now this reminds me of my Satria Neo.

Carbon fetishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Just in case any of you are interested in getting one/pair for your ride, you can always drop Leo wai a PM and he can offer a good price.

Back to those days..

2011-11-26T19:55:00.003+08:00

It has been awhile since I last had a full bucket in my ride. Apart from the SSCUS IMOLA which I had in my Satria Neo (Which I sold off at January 2011). I've been sitting in super loosen and comfy seats on the Caldina GT4 and my Mazda 3.

Here's sneak peak of what's coming up next.

Mazda 3 pedals installed!

2011-11-22T14:31:00.003+08:00

I've finally got one set extra for myself, looking good isn't it? Definitely added some sporty touch for the cockpit.

More Mazda 3 accessories are here!

2011-11-18T12:24:00.003+08:00

Aside from those parts I posted last week, here are some new goodies for Mazda 3! Check out other items at http://junl00ng.blogspot.com/2011/11/new-parts-for-mazda-3.html

Latest design LED door plate for Mazda 3, not the cheap and old design you can find in the local accessories shops!

Silicone key case, now comes in three different colors!
Air conditional dialing knob now available for Mazda 3 1.6L BK and Mazda 3 1.6L BL ! Carbon fiber hand brake cover!

People who never be considerate

2011-11-15T12:59:00.003+08:00

Some jerk in my office turns off 2 out of the 3 air conditioner just BECAUSE SHE FEEL COLD. Go and get yourself a jacket, be considerate and think about your OTHER colleague which sits in the corner which is HOT.
For the time being, I've got no other choice but to get this fan for myself. Yes, it helps.
