Scirocco R




Compared to a standard Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0TSI, the exterior looks pretty much the same. This is the same story with the 1.4 TSI and 2.0 TSI Volkswgen Scirocco. What you do get is, a more powerful engine, aggressive air intake openings in the front bumper, a front diffuser, dual xenon headlights, a much larger rear roof spoiler, rear diffuser, and a Talladega 18 inch alloy wheels.

Honda Jazz accident at service centre


A Honda Jazz falls through the hydraulic lift and is heavily damaged. This occurred at a service centre, which is not known whether it was an official Honda service centre or a 3rd party service centre. Nevertheless, this Honda Jazz would require extensive repair, as the bumper, side window, doors, and bonnet would require major repairs which could easily cost RM10,000 (USD3,000).

Used Car Review: Proton Wira

Most value for money modification platform, or just a daily ride. The Proton Wira offers unlimited potential.

Me and my brother's project car. About 200whp from a Mitsubishi 1.6-Litre 4G92 Bolt on Turbo engine.


Looking for a used sedan that is affordable and easy to maintain? The Proton Wira has decent leg room and a generous boot space. And for an aged car, the outlook is still acceptable.

Manufactured from 1993 to 2007 and Priced between RM10,000 to RM20,000 (As of February 2013), the Proton Wira comes in various configurations, from a sedan to an aeroback variant, and numerous facelifts. There are also different engines featured in the Wira, from the range topper 1.8-Litre Mitsubishi 4G93 engine to the standard 1.5-Litre Mitsubishi 4G15 and 1.3-Litre Mitsubishi 4G13. In between, there were also 1.6-Litre Mitsubishi 4G92 and 2.0-Litre diesel versions available as well.

Proton Saga FLX 1.3 Manual Bolt on Turbo

It has a been a while; although I just got the car for around 7 months, I decided to add on a bolt on turbo system to the car.

The 1.3L Campro is running on a TD04 from a Subaru (13T if I'm not mistaken). Didn't boost much, as the management is still not installed yet. Planning to go for Works EMS! Overall the project was cost efficient and neat, running on 2 inch custom made intercooler piping.

Will post the updates after I have managed to dyno tune the car! For more mean time, enjoy my small bolt on turbo 1.3L Campro Proton Saga FLX!

UPDATE: Fuel efficiency without any manage is at 8-10km/L. Not too bad. Managed to get 12-13km/L at one point (believe it or not!) by tuning the fuel pressure regulator, but the ECU adjusted and it went back to "normal".
