Optra Station Wagon

[Roboto]

Very jia lat.

So much poison, so little cash.

Installation should not be that difficult. We should be able to install ourselves.

Only problem is the cost to ship it in here. I'm sure that company has a supplier in Asia.

Problem is finding out who. Who is our spares supplier for our vehicle?

Maybe we can modify one.

 

Bodykit most probably I not getting. Depending on how good it looks. If good, I need to eat less to save money already.

[Chevro]

YOu two guys are really poison to SW family. I just calm down for a few days, so many good stuff come out, making me heart etching...

[Nerd_on_wheels]

If the short shifter has, that one is a must mod. heard the parts dealer name is yong li or something like that, but dun think they carry exoctic parts. bodykit most likely i won't do, coz my wheel already 15", not nice to fit with body kit, but if the side skirt is the thin type, may consider just that. . Urs 16"/17" will look good.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

me? no way. that silver SW is the mastermind here. anyway, dun deny yourself from the pleasure to do up the car. it keeps life interesting

[Roboto]

I not the only silver SW.

Anyway I also kana poison from a blue Optra5.

He just got his Pioneer HU, Sub, Genesis Amp, Sound proof for the floor to firewall.

 

Now I getting itchy.

Thinking of soundproof. Already did my doors but still quite a lot of road noise.

Will be going for Toughseal also, most probably this Friday.

Hope it turns out well.

ya, and I think you got the most expensive optra SW in sg now. tough seal is the paint work one izzit ? paintwork i DIY already, bo liew liaosh, must DIY.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

so is the effect good ? how much and does tyre niose reduce ? must feedback this kinda mod so everyone can maintain their weight (becoz spend on mod, no money to eat)

[Roboto]

Toughseal supposed to protect paintwork.

Trying out see how.

 

Anyway got hit by another car today.

Was parked and another vehicle reversed and hit my back bumper.

Twice.

Was sitting in a coffee shop a few lots away eating my yong tau hu and saw the whole thing.

After he parked I went to take a look. Got a few scratches on my bumper.

Saw his bumper got a crack.

Went to SA and they said if want to respray 300+. Told them to just touch up so free.

Will be doing it tomorrow with my servicing.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

ai yo. but the way u put it, you seem very calm. so never go jio jio the fello ? or you are just being totally merciful ? despite an unfortunate incident, maybe its a sign for a new all round skirting but do bumper respray is way cheaper to get it done outside than that. You may want to get the bumper done up before toughseal it.

[Roboto]

Got his particulars and he has offered to pay the damages.

Just a few scratches I don't want to make a big fuss.

Anyway bumper supposed to be bumped, that what they are for.

 

Found out in France some places they park at the kerb with their handbrakes off.

So that other cars can actually bump their cars forwards or back to make room to park.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

I was under the impression that you see ur car being knock knock, then later scroll there see damage and just go repair with your own money. so how much u leech anyway

 

ya. those are really bumper kissing bumper one.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

I jusr realise after i post, 300 post in one thread thats a nice number

[Roboto]

Did not leech at all. Just took his particulars and told him I would contact him.

After tomorrow see how the touch up, if ok then will tell him good news.

If not ok he going to be out 300+.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

oh. that sound more descent. but $300 is really pricy. outside can do the same spray of the whole thing for about 100+. Think SA will outsource the spray, then middle earn a bulk resu,lt in the mark up.

Sorry to hear that. You are really CALM.

 

I know whole bumper respray at AMK (Auto point) is 100+, quite decent job.

[Roboto]

Did my 1k servicing today. Left it there at 1 pm.

Collected at 6pm.

They could not touch up my bumper because they do not have my colour in stock.

Sian.

So cannot do the toughseal till the paint available.

 

Hmm which shop do the respray?

Went there before, saw that there were a few spray shops around.

Any in particular you recommend?

In fact my toughseal also there.

If I respray there can immediately do toughseal.

Hi Aaron

 

Eh...how should I put it?....George Michael and Bee Gees' music sounds different after the change

 

Heard some instruments being played before on some of the songs...now hear shiokadoo!

 

All ain all, it came to about 4K. That includes the double ACUMAT sound proofing on the four doors, the floor to fire wall sound proofing, the HU (Pioneer MP3), the Rainbow speakers, the sub-woofy and the Genensis Amp. Also, I offset a couple of hundred bucks from the Stock Blaup. HU, the 5 disc changer, the old amp...

 

The only noise is the tyre noise, there is a obvious reduction after the floor sound proofing and better all the way up thew fire wall

 

Chuan Sin at Serangoon dam good!

 

Cheers!
