New Year Donut..

Kekeke. My drift sucks. Happy New Year.

Final day in 2009.

Well, today after my class, I went back to my home. Around 11am. Too early to rest. So I went down and was doing some spring cleaning for Rolla's interior. And also fixing up the harness. Less messy this time. Rear seat is too dirty. Will find a better one once everything is done.


My N3 Fast front lip arrived yesterday. For those who are interested with this lip, the price is RM 200. Item is from Retro Bodykits.

I also took the opportunity to clean up the engine bay. Didn't dare to remove some of the wires and what not, so just surface cleaning. Would love to hide all those wires if possible.
Also, I went to post office to renew my insurance. And as expected, they didn't want to renew mine coz their quota is full. So went to other insurance agent, also full. Try the other two, also full. What the fuck is wrong with these companies? I want to pay them for my insurance also don't want. So, will try again on Saturday since tomorrow is New Year.

Bought this hand phone holder to record my onboard drifting. Would love to try this stuff on my next drift run. Hope this time this stuff will not detached under high speed cornering just like my old holder. Cost me a hand phone coz it fell on the track and consider it total lost. Hahaha.

My new handphone is cheap and multi function. Love it. It's Nokia 5800 Express Music. And the video recording is quite good.

Tyre Shop Visit.

Pussy offset (+39) rims with extra wide fender. Hahaha.


So, finally got a time to fit in the 1inch spacer.


And also swapping my rear rim with the Advan Oni. Offset is around +15.


How's the stance? Im thinking of retaining the wide fender.

Rolla's Sponsorship : Retro Bodykits.

First of all, I would like to say thanks to Mr. Jeyaraj of Retro Bodykits, Ipoh for giving me a sponsorship for my Rolla. So what did I get for a kick start?

A front lip/spoiler. This spoiler's code is N3 Fast. RM200.


N3 Arch. And in my case, the rim is 15', so the arch is design to suit 15'. Got a few sizes to match up your rim size. RM240.


So, that's all for a start. More stuffs from Retro Bodykits are:

N3 Cool. RM200.


Starlet Rear Spoiler. RM180.

Here's some sample if you are take the N3 Cool, Rear Spoiler, N3 Arch. And the special price for this package is RM620 negotiable.




Interested? Call Mr. Jeyaraj at 016 5418798, or email me at ammar_izbtho [at] yahoo dot com.

Location is based in Ipoh, Perak Malaysia. But posting can be arranged and world wide shipment too I think. Thanks! Will post more stuffs once I received the pictures and price.

Rolla's 1st Sideways..

Was suppose to relax at home today. Haven't got a day to rest this few weeks. Huargh. So, Din Longchamp called me today and asked me to join him for some sideways fun at Shah Alam. Not interested to join till he said he got some 15' tyres for me. Huargh. 4 pieces of em some more. Thanks man!

So, we waited at the Batu Tiga petrol station and the last person to arrive is Mr. Tanabe with his AE86 Tofuu! The same car that I had a chance to sit few days ago.

And again, Din bought a set of Longchamp again! This time more offset and hippari style. Looks uber cool!

We arrived at the local drift spot. People called it Extreme Park of Shah Alam I think.. Local group called the Budget Drifter usually came to practice here. They were super friendly too.

And thanks to the Mr. Tanabe for giving me a chance to drift with his Tofuu AE86. Totally different handling feeling and raw power from the 4AGE. Love it!

And officially, Rolla had been drifted. The power is there, but I need more improvement when handling the car. Still didn't familiar with the characteristic of Rolla. But I think Din's Rolla's handling is much better when I tested it at MAEPS the other day.

One of the member of Budget Drifter told me that the Advan Oni is up for sale. I don't have any intention of buying it, but after the owner told me the price (Good one lah..), and they even try to fit it in. Looks good with the fender, so.. after thinking for awhile, I took the rims along with one inch spacer too.

So, here's the spacer. Japan made and 1 inch thick. Thinking of putting it on front rims so that I get more angle and wider stance.

Oh, here's some lame video of mine when testing the track. My lil brother recorded it. Sounds like he's having fun inside. Ignore the laughing and what not. Hehehe.

Here's the link.

Busy Saturday..

On Saturday, Chinoi came to my house with his nice KE30. The objective of the day was to pick up some stuffs from a few abandoned KE70, to pickup Ipin of Freedom Spec's crew, to find some DX stuffs, to get a price quotation from the paint shop, and finally thanks to Bro Jebb (or is it Jepp?) of Bukit Antarabangsa for lowering the idling rev (now 1.3k) and lowering the boost to 0.6 bar.

The shop owner checking out the car and giving a good price for painting it. Will send it once all stuffs arrived.

The color that I had chose is Gading White.

Dunno whether I should fit this duck tail or not..

Traffic Jam is No Good.

What on earth is happening to KL traffic nowadays? Was going out around 8-9pm something and I was on MRR2 heading to Ampang. And it was jammed like it is 5pm on working day. I usually got the unexpected traffic jam these days. Im tired of living in KL area. Long stretch of cars and the best part was the Rolla's clutch is freakin' heavy to press.

So I'm assuming that Rolla is equipped with racing clutch. So, as a result? Crammed leg now. And soon my left leg will be much stronger and muscular than my right leg. Haha. Was bored, so I snapped a dashboard photo.

Most of the time the revving is around 1.4k to 1.9k RPM (Is it normal?) and it will drop a lil bit if I switched on the aircond. Water temperature is normal I guess. Around 60-70 degree depending on the weather and traffic. Idling boost is around -0.6 and -0.4. And the battery's voltage is around 12v-12.5v.

And the welded diff noise is annoying too when the speed reached 60km/h and above. Huah. Will change to 2way LSD when I got some spare money.

So, my mum suggest me to paint the car with Mettalic or Pearl White since she want all of the cars at home to be white. I want an Orange Yellow color, but I guess I'll go with white to fulfill my mum's wish. And she asked me to change the plate number to 3345 too so that all the cars will have the same number. Will try to ask Mr. JPJ bout this matter soon.

Rolla's 1st Service

Since tomorrow is Christmas a.k.a holiday (Again! Gosh, I love this year's December! Every Friday is a holiday! Hahaha) , I had decided to go back home since nobody's will be staying at hostel. So, class finished at 12pm, and I arrived at home at 3pm and went to the local workshop to service the Rolla. So, up up the ramp. And it revealed the dark secret..


Leaking! Hah, I swear I had checked the other day when the first time looking at it. Mostly came from the power steering and a lil from the engine. Sigh, I will not bring down the engine in this short time so I guess I need to top up the engine oil weekly if needed.


Was using 15-40 engine oil. Dunno if it's the correct choice or not. And also changed the gearbox oil, the oil filter, topping up the power steering fluid, radiator coolant and what not. And the good news is, the Rolla's body is in a good condition! Yay. No holes and undercarriage rust.

And also send it for some cleaning job. Dont care if the front part is damaged, I want the car to be clean. ^^


And so far the fuel consumption? Hohoho. Bad bad bad. Need to lighten up my leg from now on. RM50 for this two day and its empty already. Hahahaha. So, time to relax at home and enjoy the weekend~

Anyway, wishing y'all Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating it. Dunno who to SMS since I cant differentiate who's Buddha, who's Hindu and who's Christian. Hahaha. So have a good holiday!

New Blog..

This blog will be filled with my progress on my Toyota Corolla KE70. Will try my best to fill some useful infos and complete process as I move on. And also as a reference for anybody that is using this model too.

Engine wise? 4AGTE and bla bla bla.. Hehehe.

So, here's my first day with her. Still need a list of restoration.

Messy engine.. Hmm.

The boot.

One of my buddy, Din came to check out the car. Hehehe. He's responsible for making me changing my mind to play KE70.

So, one of the stuffs that I had ordered had arrived. Yay. Old school fender mirror.
