Retro Bodykits New Stuff.

Back to Rolla, there's some updates but all had been quite slow since I was busy with exams, with the model kits, and also the new love for 125z. LOL. I guess I cannot focus on a few things. Gotta straight up again.

Okay so Retro Bodykits has a new type of front spoiler, and the tokey, Mr. Jeya had sent me one as a sponsor stuff and as for promotional use. Big thanks to him for the new spoiler. Before I proceed, here's my old front spoiler, which I called it Retro Bodykits Type 1.

While on Rolla:

Here's the new front spoiler, which I called it Type 2. There's various sizes to fit most old schools. Retro Bodykits had send two of it. And one of it had been sold to a nice couple from Brunei which had been so determine to restore their Corolla. Best luck for them. Will do some update when I actually meet them maybe at the end of the month.

After fitting it on Rolla, this new spoiler fitted more nicely compare to Type 1 since my body part is not properly aligned thanks to the previous accident.

After this, a GL face lift and then its time to repaint back Rolla to its glorious white color.

Piping Reroute & De-Lip.

After surviving 1 week plus in the campus, the piping decided to crack at a point because of too much tension when having contact with the hump. Sounds like a rotary engine, but slower than a Myvi. Decided to swirl around in the Skudai area, and arrived at an exhaust shop + workshop. Which happened to be the workshop for JB Drift Club.

A mechanic then helped me to fix the piping. What he did was heating the extractor so that it can be bend more upward and re weld all the exhaust piping so that it get closer to Rolla's floor board. In other word, if you look from side now, you wont see any exhaust piping popping out from the bottom. All you see now is the floor board. Clean.

After the job was done, only then I knew his name. The man who did the job is the one who drove the A31 for Drift Zone JB, Mr. Shairul. A well known group and team member in JB was doing my car. Now that's improvement.

Then, while on the way to Majistreet Court (I will elaborate on this in a very very long writing to tell what happened when the case is settled. Suing people is a lot harder than I thought), there's new road and old road joint on the way to Danga, which I didn't saw it and just cruise on the joint. Which caused?

Rolla's a bit too low for daily usage actually. The front spoiler hit the joint, which caused nothing to the spoiler since it is a FRP. BUT, the lower panel was damaged. You can see how the impact had change the lower panel's shape and it didnt stop there. Even the front grille, and the left headlamp cover were affected too. And to add some spice, the right lower panel screw joint were detached. Need to weld it back to fix it. That bad uh the price I pay for having such low ride. And I wont raise the height back coz tall is lame. HAHA.


As for now, my old lip was sold. Sold to a very close friend of mine. Hope he'll success in his new project. All the best buddy! How bout Rolla? Well, Retro Bodykits which is one of my sponsor for Rolla, will send a new front spoiler which is the latest product of Retro Bodykits.

Some car with the similar front spoiler. Taken out of JNC and Uncle Google.

And finally, something is on the way to JB. I am very skeptical with the function or maybe its me who cant differentiate the difference of a car that does not have an anti-roll bar and a car that have it on the axle. We'll see. But since it is a bargain price tag, I just bought it. Will fit it. Theoretically, it is plug and play since I am using the AE86 LSD, which already have the bracket to hold the ARB.

DIY : New Front Pannel.

My second busy day as today I am excited to do some work on Rolla. I dont have any experience on doing it myself but I give it a shot today. Started early in the morning. First thing that I did was spraying this new panel with undercoat. Few layers should do.

Then moving on to the next step was removing the whole face of Rolla.

Learned from my few experience when doing work; always make sure the work area clean and organize so that you wont miss anything when the assembling process.

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.
