Hi guys, here's how the story goes: i sold one of my Phoenix Gold Xenon 200.4 amp to one of the fellow MCFer here.bad thing was that be bought it on thursday and cannot find an installer. My installer was busy and his installer, sin kit, was also busy.and they willbe closed till after CNY.my friend is dam excited abt his stuff and want it installed ASAP. then he read abt some other forums and found JK audio and gave them a call. they said they would fix his amp and do the wiring for $50, with the amp mounted on a board. tat was a good deal. then i told him to see whether he could top up some more $$ to get 4 gauge cables since the amp had dual 4 gauge power inputs. but then, JK audio did not carry 4 gauge cables and the guy was kinda sian when my friend said he will buy the cables himself and get him to do the labour. Thus i followed my friend down to Sim lim tower and got him some good deals on 4 gauge power cables($2.50/m) and some reasonable good speaker cables and a ANL fuse with box with volt meter for the engine bay. then today, my friend found another 'shop' at ginza who said they are willing to wire up the car for $50 since he already had the wires and cables. my friend consulted me and i said this was a good deal for BASIC INSTALLATION. the amp was just to be screwed into the bad of the rear passenger seat, with no wooden board. thus we both went down to ginza and the guy said to meet him at the car park. when they came, they took a look at our hardware: Phoenix Gold X200.4 amp. the guy was kinda shocked. then he looked at the power cables and fuse box. then he said " your cable too thick, this is not basic installation, you are not using basic stuff". this shocked me. they they went on to comment about our fuse box which thy guy said" even got remote cable." best was, that cable was a ground cable for the volt meter. he didnt even noe wat the cable was for.i guess they have never even seen an ANL fuse.irony for claimin to be "experience installers" thus they said there is no way a 4 gauge cable can go thru the fire wall for my friends' car(Diahatsu YRV). then i said, come on, even my own car. 0 gauge and fit thru, then he said, you do for me, i help you. Then my friend said this was stupid since we were PAYING them to do the installation for us. Personally, i am a DIYer and would have gladly done it for my friend free, but i do not have the correct tools to take out the seats and plus, i am not familiar with head units at the moment. ALSO, i didnt want to get dirty b4 reunion dinner. then they went on to say that our stuff was not under BASIC installation as we had "good hardware". they kept huppin on the fact that since we had 'not basic hardware',it was not basic install. thus they wanted more $$$.if not they don want to install. this is my opinion: our hardware is our business. all we want is someone to run the cable throught the firewall to the boot and run the speaker/rca cables. this is as basic an installation can be. the size of the cable doesnt matter much. 4 gauge is pretty common, unlike 0 gauge. thus, we walked off as we knew they were tryin to chop our heads, thinkin we were ICE idiots. oo well, just a warnin out to fellow forum pple there, in the ICE industry, if you are not willing to pay to go to a reputable installer, do be alert for this kinda dishonest people around. cheers..

OK for all you who want only the best to pamper your cars. I have seen Delvac 1 selling in a Mobil kiosk. It is the one on Mei Chin Rd along Queensway on the direction towards Alexandra/Bt Merah intersection. 5L for SGD103.35! FYI, Delvac 1 is repackaged as Mobil 1 SUV in the US. The oil is a HDEO. It will take on anything. Very good detergent package. Comes only in 5W40. Not cheap but it is the best oil that ExxonMobile has.

New Focus In The Frame uto Express magazine has the first-ever undisguised photos of the new Focus, the car which Ford is banking on to follow its predecessor to the top of Britain's sales charts. However, with our production schedule rushed forwards because of the Bank Holiday deadlines, we had a race against time to get them in this week's issue when they landed in our office minutes before we closed for press. But pictures that will stun the motoring world and leave Ford bosses reeling can't be ignored - and while it was too late to squeeze the amazing images on to this week's cover, we found room at the front of the magazine. The photos were snapped by an eagle-eyed reader, who stumbled across the car in a marquee outside a pub in Germany. The Focus was being presented to invited guests at a customer clinic, and being compared to key rivals - the new Vauxhall Astra and VW Golf - hence the blanked-out Ford badges. Our man was quick on the draw with his camera, and managed to secure the top-secret shots. The pictures clearly show how Ford has played safe with the car, which will debut at September's Paris Motor Show. Longer and lower than the current hatch, the five-door pictured borrows styling cues from the Mondeo and C-MAX, with similar-shaped headlights and the family grille. The bonnet boasts a distinctive raised ridge, similar to the new Volvo S40 - with which it shares its platform - while at the rear the angular window and chopped-off tail give it a coup

I think it was sometime last week, while travelling to town, I saw it going the other way.... The Mercedes/Swatch SMART Car. If I'm not wrong, it had a 2-tone Dark Grey/Black paintwork. At first, I thought I was dreaming, and mistook a Mercedes A-class for it...but on second glance, I was very sure I had probably seen the only SMART in Singapore. I've seen a few extremely rare cars in singapore, including a TVR Cerbera (SG license plate), but never did I expect to see this...the last time I saw such a car in Singapore was when it was on display sometime in 1999 (see attached photo) BTW, has anyone else seen it on Singapore roads as well?

This is my favourite rim. I was wondering if anybody has seen anything like this in Singapore.
