HAHA KM can claim your aircon compressor if it spoil before 100,000km, also can change your stock shock absorber if it leaks. also can change your engine mounts if cracked, and alternator if your sound system sounds week and they prove alternater is not performing as required.

also can change your seat belt sensors if spoil (i.e. airbag warning light comes on) in fact, for air bag warning light, they will check and replace anything faulty foc if within warranty period.


and power window motor, and trunk release cable, and rear brake cable, and new throttle cable, and new brake master pump etc... haha

One more thing i forgot to add is the chemical cleanning of the rear drum brake for $20.

After cleaning, brake become more efficient

He used a aero spray type of can and spray directly removing the brake dust from the drum brake. Like kind of de-greaser.

Some nights back had a impromptu benchmark with a regular ES buddy at some know where...

I know my Turtle long since had any 'sprints' done... and already quite nua already in this area... owing to funny fuel consumption and i think there is some loss in midrange (2,500 rpm to 4,500rpm) ... hmmm maybe i need to reset my vtec point to 3,500 instead of 3,800 to tackle this - still need it above 3,500 - otherwise at NS Highway legal speeds, my VTEC would be ON...


anyway back to the benchmark... so we did a rolling start and ran tru the gears... surprisingly, still can be in front after 3rd gear... sigh... my butt sensor spoil...

Time to update the list... the real poison list that is...

i will make the additions to the original positng. pls see from time to time haha I will use different colours to denote the new additions/changes

Lighten Crank Pulley

This topic had been discussed very long and very hard over the years.

For those concerned about harmonic resonance of the crank pulley etc, it's not for the Japanese cars per se. more for BMW and Mercedes and some European makes...

So for Japanese cars, like the ES, lighten crank pulley does not affect the harmonic resonance (well, never been documented to happen anyway).

so why still got a whole chunk of people dun want to put lighten crank pulley?

a lot of advantages... lighter, can 'accelerate' the engine faster etc.


Cons:

1 Firstly, most of these pulleys are 'different size' from stock. you will require a different size timingbelt for it to work. and that can be a problem identifying the part if you are not familiar with it.

2 The pulley being of different size, rotates at a different speed. usually it's larger than stock so it's 'lighter' to turn - ever ride a 10 speed bicycle before? - use bigger gear will have lighter weight to ride rite? but going high spin on legs, speed still slow leh.. but light... you say leh?

better for climbing hill? you think so?

3 becos it spins the crank at a slower speed, less power is actually generated for other electrical system, as well as your alternator...


So, it you can get a same as stock size pulley but at 30% of the weight, i.e. you shave off 70% of the weight of the pulley, yet use same belt, and same speed spin the alternator, would that not be a good buy?

Can consider....

but it being so light... got momentum or not? once you let go the accelerator the thing will just stop ... so boh da yu can still 'roll' or not?

still being investigated... I dunno...

ok. most important question: can accelerate faster or not?

come to the PG sprint night with your lighten crank pulley, let's try it out lor. chances are you can't tell the difference unless you got a lot more mods in place... meaning, just one pulley, you cannot have any advantage... yet so many 'con'... think about it...

Damn

One pulley got so many things to learn ....... to do, or not to do ..... wait, can save petrol or not? Nowadays petrol very expensive you know ....

Now a debate on SHC, accord folder on battery ......... what is a car battery for in the first place? Power your ICE?

Just to crank start your engine only .... need so good for what?

Still got fresh or not fresh .... go market buy food is it?
Spent $250 for a device to check 'freshness' when one battery is worth $100?
Used for 0ne year, 12 months, each month cost $8.33

May be we can start a biz, selling fresh batteries! Just out from the oven! Confirmed fresh, not fresh buy back from you. "BAO CHIA"
