BATTERY DIED, LOWERED, & TINTED

BATTERY DIED
well, i went to melbourne for just abit over a month, and i was gonna take off my battery as usual, but my dad say, don't bother, i will warm it up everyday... and then somehow he forget to keep warming up the car every few days... when i arrived back in jakarta... the car has no more charge in the battery Sad
 

replaced that... damn u!!!!!!




LOWERED ABIT
ok.... ordered this set of custom spring... yep... indo sell spring in meters long and they have any width, thickness, coil distance, etc for almost any car... almost... but the spring rate, only GOD and the spring itself who knows the exact spec... Razz



BEFORE:


AFTER:


total drop right after change: F 5cm, R 4cm
total drop after 1 day: F 8cm, R 6cm LOL

after lowering camber and alignment: total toe front out 1mm, 1m toe in rear, rear camber -2.8 front -2

  




DAMN YOU INDO SUN!!

constant 2-3 hours bumper to bumper daily traffic in jakarta has not only caused problem with the car over heating... but also me!

the car i bought came with super thin mirror tint... as you can see in previous daytime lowered pic... and below at night... everyone can see me inside! not so safe for jakarta Razz


so tinted it with 3M darkest 90% side and back (in indonesia % means how many light blocked, unlike in australia % is the visibility, hence in indo higher % means darker, and 100% means black out)... and fron i use 40% mirror tint...




now i have to wind down the window if i want to reverse park at night... but in most places in jakarta, we got 'tukang parkir' : which are people who work at the carpark and stand beside you car when you park and give warnings... "keep going, abit more abit more.... stop" Very Happy that is also why rear parking sensor sale is not so good here...
