Installing the original Mugen Twinloop Exhaust

I read a thread where original mugen twin loop been install in a City .

they hv cut the original exhaust flange joint - midpipe flange, right at the flange . And made a new 2 bolt flange for both mugen muffler's end and stock piping's end . so in future if wanna inst

all back the stock exhaust , they need cut again and weld back at the point

the part of cutting the original piping , isit actually avoidable or not ?? anyone manage to do it less damaging ? Isit posibble to find a match replacement flange for mugen exhaust's side , fit it and just screw link it back to the midpipe flange side .. so no cutting done on original piping and stock exhaust ... so anytime can change back to stock , just screw back the flange

heard that the spring type honda flange is hard to get one , true ?

Koni Sport Spring on Civic ET2.0 : Part ll

For 2 days I've to bear with those 'noise' created every time i turn the steering . Huhh ! ...

Today , i'm meeting with a mechanic , who's recommended by Mr Big boss , the Eastern teames mod. The mechanic boss is friendly , easy going and very good at his works . First impression , with a slight turn and by one squeaking sound, he already knows the exact problem , diagnosed it confidently ; its due to wrongly placed spring and absorber . We spent nearly 3 hours there , the mechanic boss did it personally , to realign it one by one according to the original marking spot.

It was worth it , He really got it done . During the test run , the sound disappears .. plus the steering felt smoother than ever . Finally ..

Front spring to compare ; the original on right , Koni is on left .. the bright blue color .

Koni rear spring in its positions ..

The front Koni spring , got clear rubber hose on one ends to prevent spring knocking sound .

Overall , i pretty much satisfy and its perform at my expectation . The comfort level pretty much maintain , quite hard to differ from stock one . Even my wife and brother felt the same . Maybe a lil bit bumpy la , but its acceptable . Both of them agrees . Cornering improve . The most favorable part is how it lowered the ride . For front wheel , it lowered by 3 fingers making it only permits 1 finger btwn upper fender to tire surface . For rear , it lowered by 1 finger which is now only permit 2 finger tight btwn fender and tire . Even by this , carrying full loaded 4 adult passenger is not a problem .

Koni Sport Spring on Civic ET2.0

Koni .. Oooo Koni

On 16/2/2011 , i went for the installation at one of reputable suspension specialist (BS) in my hometown . At first the big boss seem to be very surprise after i said i want to install Koni Spring , rare he said . But being a specialist , i know he try to be as natural as possible and did the installation as usual . With 5 strong workers as healthy as a horse and a great working tools / machines , they only took 35 minute give and take to complete the task .

But once i drove out of the workshop , i notice theres a popping sound everytime the steering turn left and right even if the car didn't move . Initially i thought it just my feeling , so i drove to a tire shop to do the alignment and balancing , ignoring it . Surprisingly , the mechanic also notice it and complaint the same abt the weird sound , but he claim notting wrong w the alignment , it was something else .

40 minutes later , i drove back to previous workshop and complaint to the big boss . He took the key and tried the ride himself . Clueless , he ask his workers to open it up again for inspection and reinstall again . Yupp , he open up twice - 2 times . Arrogantly , he denies any problem with the installation process and put the blame on heavy engine weight plus the lowered spring might damage the front chamber already . He refused to touch the car again after the second installation process completely done . Thus suggest to seek other mechanics .

I'm very frustrated because even the 'suspension specialist' cant settle my problem . Lost my mood for my next mod plan , the Mugen twinloop exhaust . Duhh ... Gerammnye !

Slumber Restaurant

Puas mencari tempat makan di sekitar area S.Alam .. nasib baik GPS membantu. Dari luar , kedai makan di sudut corner lot ini , mmg nampak menarik. suasana romantik dgn lampu-lampu tungsten yg menerangi ruang perniagaan Slumber Restaurant. Nak parking pun senang dan luas, so no problem nak bawak geng buat TT.

Mmmh sesuai utk membawa teman atau keluarga dtg menjamu selera. Kami menjamu selera masakan panas bergoreng dgn air buah gelas besar, mmg best dan sedap. Harganya pun standard dan berpatutan. Cuma servis jer agak slow sket , maybe that day ada ramai customer. So kalu mmg not in rush , sambil2 sembang dgn teman mmg kira okeyla. Ruang makan juga selesa dan bersih. Aku mmg recommend la. Aku pun nak pegi balik kedai nie , nak try western food plak.

This resort become our spot to stop in Kuantan. Abt 6 km fr Kuantan maintown, its on the main road to Kemaman, Terengganu. Its at Jalan Berserah, Kuantan, Pahang.
Luckily my wife found this online , and i got great offer fr hotelsclub member for booking it online. Even the receptionist here dont see it coming! .. hehe. Cant forget how suprise she was looking at my printout quotation.

OZ Racing Ultraleggera / Supraleggera

This rim make me crazy .. 2 month looking around internet , tyre shop around KL , hehe

Asking around for the price ... ranging from rm 2900 for 15" till rm 5000 for baby 17"

Finally meet a guy .. going to let go his supraleggera new 3 month old for RM 2500 w tyre ...

Still arranging the meeting , hopefully going to be a successfull trade

Cant wait ..

Short story ....

ULTRALEGGERA

An amazing new light weight design from O.Z Racing of Italy. This single piece alloy wheel has six pairs of spokes and a carbon fiber cap. Available in 15" to 19". Sample weights for 15x7 is 4.9kgs, 16x7 is 5.9kgs, 17x7 is 6.9kgs and 8.2kgs in 18x8. Weights may vary up to 5% depending on fitment

SUPRALEGGERA

Let's start with the light weight. A Superleggera monobloc 7" x 15” wheel weighs only 4.9 kg with benefits for your comfort (springs and suspension work better and last longer). Lightweight wheels also mean reduced breaking distance, less consumption of brake pads and better sideways road-holding in bends, all of which benefit safety. They also mean a reduction in fuel consumption. Another significant advantage is appreciated when a wheel needs to be replaced. Gone is the physical exertion of lifting and moving a heavy steel wheel rim. The rigidity of the wheel allows for accurate driving without any burring: the rim does not bend but follows the trajectory set to perfection, and in addition its rigidity enables it to absorb any roughness in the road surface better.

The O·Z Superleggera is the most lightweight wheel present on the market (up to 40% lighter than the competition) Another reason why Superleggera is a real gem is its looks: an exclusive design, a fusion of beauty and strength. The six pairs of spokes and the special lip on the outer rim with reinforcement ribbing designed to give the wheel rigidity, resistance and reliability also give it an extremely chic look.
