(now with 1 bride ergo II)holding monster! =)

 

 

 

 My interior is the next thing that i'm going to modify. Its still damn incomplete. I'm still saving money for my other bride seat because its so damn pricey. I should've bought other cheaper parts first in the interior.

Exterior pics:

 Black paint is hard to maintain and sensitive. Damn, i got a lot of swirl marks and the thing i just hate is i wash the car meticulously for about 2- 3 hours and then after like 2 hrs after cleaning the car you can already see the dust accumulating but when it's newly cleaned/waxed, its really nice to see =)

I keep the exterior simple.For me, simplicity is beauty. I kept it close to the JDM lancer. I removed the door mouldings, and i had the ambercornerlights. The only thing i don't have on the stock JDM lancer was the flat cheeklights. My car was EUDM inspired before that's why i still have a ducktail and i can't remove it because if i remove it, i have to make the paint look good again on where the ducktail was placed. I wish that i just went JDM look in the first place.

 

I seldom go to the car wash and wash the car myself. Besides saving money, for me, the owner is the best cleaner no matter how good a carwash is. Ü I also wax my car at least once a month if i'm busy or once a week if i'm not busy. If i'm really really busy, i use an instant detalier. hehe! I don't use a car shampoo because it removes the wax. I'm a perfectionist in cleaning. Ü Mothers is the product I chose for my car care needs. Ü

his ride was JDM before then he changed it into the EUDM elegant look

waxed again:

i just love it when its waxed... deep black shine! =) really clean! i really feel my driving when its really clean and when it's dirty i just don't feel my driving much... its like going to the mall w/o taking a bath.. hehe!

Engine pics:

not muchmods in the engine bay, just a strut bar and the air filter

(do it yourself cleaning) hehe! =)

 

 I had a top speed test on the road before (skyway, [PH] after i payed the toll)and i just hit about 190km/h(118.75mph).I don't know if it would still hit 200km/h or more because the speedometer was just crawling very slowly when it reached 185 going to 190km/h and still crawling very slowly and i need more road. hehe! (how i wish it was faster!) =)

detaling kit just arrived! phase 1 and 2 + my 2 older wax (haven't used it though, i just don't have the time and i''ll wait for a really good weather.. Ü)

what's a BMW part doing here? it's my 4 head spark plugs produced by NGK for BMW, still JDM because its made in japan...hehe! lots of stock.. =)
