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 problem, [...]

Experience the World First
It’s always nice to be part of the history. Singapore became the first country to host Formula One Grand Prix night race, and we were there to witness the “kick off” as the first practise session began yesterday.

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.

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. The feeling [...]

Bulls and Horses, courtesy of TD Performance tuning exercise
I tried a bora before and after the tdperformance piggyback chip.

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 rear [...]

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 [...]

Protect your Investment: OEM Headlight protector
You have read earlier on the extensive effort and money involved in upgrading bora headlight to OEM HID. With the investment made, it is prudent to invest alittle more on a set of headlight protector to protect the headlight lens from any stone chips and cracks while on the road.
But of course, if [...]
