And I'm still waiting.. for either of these to work. The Black 1M screams out for the still long-awaited "ignition-switch" since last week to work while the Grey 1M has got something to do with probably the "TCM/Harness" or just a Error-code reset.

I'm only going to say that I should thank the internet for still owning both of these and I'm not giving it up yet. :) Why should I, really?

:) Good things to come.

Oh, Happy ramadhan to all my dear muslim readers/friends.

So last 2 days ago, I actually re-apply full wax on 1M. Yes, after 2 weeks or so inda be-cuci since the last VAG-Meet I had. Then I thought like, "Inda puas hati eh".. I decided something which I wouldn't do occasionally.

I decided to go for this time of what happens if I'm going to apply another coat of Meguiar's Techwax within that 2 days later. And the result?

Well, cuci dulu lagi sekali. Pebaik bersih since the last wash + first coat of wax. I noticed a few dusts and small bugs on it but nothing berabisly dirty, but still that must be cleaned first before applying the wax:

(Wah mas, kereta nya inggak kotor di cuci lagi ya?)

Drove back home after the wash. I immediately took my wax sponge, Meguiar's Techwax and I'm off to apply another coat.

Result (No I didn't even touched the levels):

Thing is.. to be honest, this showcar shine (yes I'm saying it so.. you gotta see it in RL to believe it) only lasts for..... a few days.

Yes, I'm saying that from experience of how long this Techwax lasts after applying one coat that is. Though, I don't know if applying two coats this time would prolong the span-period of the coating but we'll see.

If it doesn't seem to hold up for two weeks.. hmm, maybe I should try another brand. Gah, so much work for detailing care, lol..

Oh and I miss her. Gotta see her soon. ♥♥

Another Engine Bay update.

So I decided to ditch the old and cheap looking couplers with a better T-Band Clamp and some real 3-Ply Silicone Hoses from eBay which I got for a total of $100.

Tools used, well pretty much just I decided to only use these actually:

Then the parts that are going to be changed:

With these:

- 2.5" 3-Ply Black Silicone with 2 T-Band Clamps
- (2) 2.5" - 2.75" 3-Ply Black Silicone with 4 T-Band Clamps

Yes, all these for $100. Now you know why I bought these from eBay. *grins*

So firstly I started by removing the Engine Bay cover, covered by 4 Socket Cap Screws.

Here I used the Socket Screw Cap Wrench to remove it.

With the Engine Cover removed, I can have a better access to the coupling which connects from the Custom Intake Pipe I made to the Throttle Body here.

Then with a flat-head screw driver, I loosened the worm-type clamps that connects the MAF Sensor itself.

For the Throttle Body Clamps, it was from the stock Airbox. I used pliers to cramp the clamps and remove it.

Of course, after removing the old couplers, I fixed the new Silicone hoses and tighten it with my pliers though. Didn't had my nut-wrench so yeah. Fits like a glove.

Job done. Easy DIY much? ;)

Refitted back the Engine Cover (which should be a common sense). And yeah, that should take care of it. No more seeping un-metered air entering the intake pipe during heavy acceleration. Huuraahh!

More updates soon which involves the vacuum, fuel and water lines. I'm also doing a new bracket for my Oil Catch Tank which will come later.

Oh? You might be wondering what are my goals for this car, really?

Not much left:
- Full Black Silicone Engine Hoses/Couplers (Which will be done soon)
- Kentcams Cam-Belt / Kentcams GF5V1 Camshaft
- Neuspeed Lightened Pulley
- Neuspeed 4 Bar FPR
- Neuspeed Thermostat
- Eibach Pro System Plus Kit
- G-tech Pro SS

I decided not to get the Turbo-kit I was planning to custom. Too bad, and seriously.. Brunei's a pain in the ass place to find a good Standalone-ECU based system for European cars.

I will though, still keep modding the looks of the car.

Till then, ;)
