This afternoon, as I drove out of petrol kiosk after the gas fill up, the “Check Engine Light” (CEL) on my main instrumental cluster came on. Immediately made an appointment with the dealer to bring the car for a check tomorrow. So in the meantime, I googled for the possible and common cause of the [...]

Saab maintenance #1 – Cooling system
There’re many things I like to blog about, but most of the time, I didn’t because I was simply lazy to post. However, there’s one area of topics I like to blog moving forward, is a chronological recount of the car maintenance activities I have carried out on my Saab 93 Sports Sedan. I thought [...]

A big fat thing .. and a noisy one
— Had this for at least more than 6 weeks. It came, it fitted, and it went booom booom at first and now vroom vroom. guess what it is? the answer: a Ferrita 2.5″ catback exhaust system. The exhaust in its packed form, looks just like the one in the photo below. That’s not my exhaust, [...]

I love humps and bumps
Finally my wait for the kit is over. Got the kit setup after 1.5days of installation, but the wait was worthy. First impression when driving the car home, along BKE and then PIE was just unbelievable. When entering the first slip road after fitting with the new roadholding kit, the bodyroll then was practically non-existence. [...]

Bulls and Horses, courtesy of TD Performance tuning exercise
I tried a bora before and after the tdperformance piggyback chip. The bora is equipped with a supersprint muffler, grounding and a voltage stabiliser, prior to the piggyback. The pick up is just bearable (considering all factors), while the mid and high end has the feeling of “cleared sinus” due to the supersprint effect. With [...]

A Baby step to bodywork customisation
As some of you are aware, I had a good respray job done on my car. The bodywork, particularly on the bodykit, however, is still some distance away from perfection, and although the spray painting shop had promised to fix them at another visit, I was too lazy to go back for a follow up. [...]

Change Color position ready … Color Change !
One night, after a tiring flight from Cupertino CA, back from a week long business meeting, I just want to have a good bath and slipped into my comfortable home bed. But there on the bed, awaits a pleasant surprise for me, and upon opening up the surprises, I realised that my beloved wife has [...]

Bimming away with a M3 rear boot lid spoiler
I always find my rear very blend. I mean my ride. However, I do not like flashy items on my boot, (I mean my car’s trunk if you are an American reading this article!), definitely not an evo wanna-be. What an oxy-moron statement, contradicting myself big time! In VWVortex, there are people who customised M3 [...]

Finale of the Trilogy – Shift boot replacement
You can say that it's possibly one of my most-planned modification process, given the stages I planned and went through before ending so far. On the other than, it can be perceived as my typical Singapore kia-see-ism (n – state of afraiding to die) in act, wanting to make sure that everything is in order [...]
