central locking gun KO...

as usual, proton cars will start to breakdown piece by piece at this age... so-called midlife crisis...

this time, its the central locking motor for my rear left passenger door...

the replacement unit cost me Rm40... but according to the sparepart shop fella, he said the gun type can be modded to be used in my car... the gun cost Rm15 only...
so, i take the latter one la... Rm40 jz to replace the motor, siao meh...

honestly, i've never seen a gun door locking mechanism before... so i also pakai hantam only... dunno correct installation or not...

another view...

my photography skills sucks la...

vacuum gauge...

haha... this was added to my car last month... but i forgot to update this....

anyway, here it is...

it is called EVIL... dunno what brand la... janji nice and not autogauge... haha..
it cost Rm115... installation diy...

bought a gauge holder for it during my last trip back to ipoh...

notice the blue cube at the background??... thats my voltmeter... bought at the same place i bought the gauge holder... cost Rm50....

here is how it looks like at night... nice??... or not nice??..

jz in case if u ask whats the use of it... here is the guidelines...

UR rear strut bar...

the other day khen called me if i wanna take his rear strut bar or not... since its not a wear n tear item and the price is ngam (Rm100), help him clear his stock lor...

a couple of days ago, i was quoted Rm40 jz for the installation alone... so, why waste another 40 bucks when i can do it my own??... kekekeke...

so today after lunch i prep my car boot for the installation...

have to clear up some rubbish behind the boot la... i also noticed my spare tyre compartment got small aquarium also... dunno come in from which lubang... haiyo... removed everything and clean it up....

so, first step... cut the side panel... i used an old solder gun... jz melt my way through the plastic....

plastic panel done... next, mark the place need to be drilled using liquid paper...

ok... drill drill drill... mana tau the maximum size drill bit i have is not big enough to clear the bolts.... have to rush out buy bigger drill bit....

after drill all the holes, need to jack up the car before installing... coz if not, the rear chassis might misalligned....

moment of truth... installation time... bolt bolt bolt...

under side of the wheel arch also must nut nut nut it... forgot to buy washer... tomolo go buy some washer add under the nuts...

jeng jeng jeng...

didnt take up much boot space as i was expected... as for handling, vr much sharper and stable... the rear doesnt float around corners anymore...

RECOMMENDED...
