Yeap you read it right. My last post was 1 year and i am truely dissapointed with my self, 14 months to be exact is when my last post took place, so lets see if i can recap what has happened:
Now after the 140k service....
- Engine mountings were changed
- KnN drop in filter
- MBC installed and set to 0.7 bar --> this is sweet as you can hear the turbo spooling when acceleration.
- Works boost meter
- Few more oil changes
- Thermostat replace due to water leaks
- and a bunch of maintenance parts
So to put all this in a wrap and bring this blog to the present era, iv got a short story! :)
A long long time ago in a land not known to others where there were beautiful...hmm wrong story!
Ok so in August 2015, i sent to the car to Wyn who has been taking care of the car since the purchase and told him to check every single bit, up, down, side, in and out of the car and tell me what needs fixing - why? the car was just loose, tires were eating up unevenly, noises that were interfering with me listening to the beautiful harmonics of the turbo spooling were present and so on and on...
After about 2 days, here are the list of things that needs replacing. at least what i can remember on top of my head:
1. Absorbers - recommended to go adjustable - RM 5 - 7k
2. Absorbers mounting
3. Link rods
4. Front arms and rear arms due to worn bushing and ball joint - estimate RM 10k..Fuck!
5. Sway bars bushing
6. Major service with belts etc - RM 5 - 7k
7. Tyre on all sides after 1 - 5 is done - RM 2 - 3k
8. MAF sensor
9. Air inlet tube sensor
10. Radiator T joint
11. AC - requires servicing
12. Paint!!
Point to note not all was recommended by Wyn, some by myself :) and prices are just estimate!
Bottom line to save my lusty relationship with her --> 20 - 25k!
So i was in a dilemma, all the above botox to make feel new or go.........DIVORCE!
Just like everymen out there i was naughty as well and after a few weeks the divorce was finalized!
My S40 is sold with a very bad impact financially to me and emotionally.
Now the interesting part..whos the new girl?
