My Rex Build 1.7 (Mugen Bodykit)

Actually this post should be posted before previous 2 post but,who give a damn about organizing, what matters is just the build....hahahah

its been a long wait for me to perform this all by myself.after getting my bodypart back from Shah Alam last time,i try to fix in the EF8 rear bumper but the stuff didn't come with the full bracket on it,considering that i might use my existing bracket from EF7 bumper.pity me,the bracket was badly corroded i cant even open a screw out of it.so im gonna leave it until i can get another bracket.

i guess it my time to unleashed my another option for the butt-ass part,my long awaited Mugen CRX Pro2 kit.after once off fitment, it seem like it does fit nicely without any 'ketuk2 body' job (its kinda hard if you work alone though,believe me...) and WALLA!!!! my rex is on its way to her world of 'Mugenizer'....actually i want to complete this when my fund of paintjob and bodywork is more than enuff so i can fix some crack on the kit...i've warn u its gonna be a slow build....hehe

the different from EF7 and EF8 bumper...this was EF7This was EF8

My Rex Build 1.5.2 (New Stuff)

i'm just got back home here in kemaman, breathing peacefully since my baby was all intact,in one piece.....Alhamdulillah.....as what i've mention earlier,my hope for getting my sunroof fixed after raya was left as a false hope...the thing only can be done this Wednesday...i think i've already give this guy enuff time to get the job done...maybe they can finished a paintjob for 4 car by that time....sigh....nah bout it.

a day before raya,i received 2 separate packages delivered in 2 different address (one here in kemaman,another back in my in law in Ipoh). guess this will be my raya gift bought by myself for myself (man,i don't do raya shopping except for this,trust me...). the stuff in the packages was a pair of 'Spoon Type One' sticker (i gave this to my bro in law for his SatNeo since i saw him 'belek'ing it for about.....i dunno,many time maybe....hehe),1 piece of 'I Love CRX' cutout sticker, and another big twin packages consist of Mugen Sport Absorber. i do hope this one will function perfectly since i already had a bad time with one of the adjustable i bought last time.

so guys,here's another snap of it.

My Rex Build 1.5.1 (New Stuff)

it's been a long time since my last post i guess.been very busy these days to update my own blog,and i ain't gonna take much time to write tonight. just a few update from my store collection....

a sneak preview...
last month, i've sent my sunroof panel for some fabricating works (refer previous post - My Build Thread 1.6 (sunroof & interior strip)). i was hoping that it can be done before we all balik kampung for raya fest, but unlucky-ly my 'pomen' said it only can be done on Saturday.kinda frustated of the answer, guess i have to leave my rex without proper security back at my home,praying hardly that nothing bad is gonna happen to my baby....i promised her that i'm gonna make her 'alive' back after coming back from raya.got some stuff prepared for the rex to be hopping again.

guys,just wait for the 'Redrex' comeback......soon.

Aminnnnn.....

My Friend's makeover - Zunnur Rims Repaint

i'm already been booked for this long weekend for some paint job with my friend Zunnur. he want to repaint his stock Honda SV4 rim though i guess he already has plenty of other nice rim in his store back home. what the hell do u need the stock rim to be painted then?hahahaha.

straight to work,i've already asked him to prepare and strip his old paint just to make my life easy...but then still i need to make some grit work and cleaning done..*sigh*.luckily i was so free to do that...u're one lucky man...

before picture...


i thot it was haji samuri spray paint...made from stirred kuah kacang....yummy...metallic brown.

since we couldn't find any Pylox paint that match owner needs, so we have to go with this. pre-planned is to paint it STI/SSR bronze....if only they got some of this colour code in the market, i would try it also.

after pic....it looks like dark purple metallic to me....





i'm not so good in painting metallic coz it's a bit tricky. sumore it was a cast iron body compare to alloy that is way more easy for sanding.

i manage to finish a pair of it, so another pair left next time.i think i don't have to write bout it again. it's the same repeatable process though....

Jalan2 cari barang - My Friend's Ride (K-yoe & Bakor)

dont be confused by the tittle, its definitely not a naughty america porno stuff.

been busy working and getting my hands dirty, now i'm adding some post, not about me. just wanna share a few thing so that my friends can read this and be proud of it (even i know they're not gonna read this....hahahaha). it's like a featured ride in some mags, in digital, but much simpler.

last few week went 'jalan2 cari barang potong' day with Khuzairul & Al-Zunnur (i've been told that he's from arab,so dont be surprised by the name....is it??). AFAIK, the only famous halfcut in kuantan were Gemok,Shimouji (at first I thot it was semuji) & Taiyo. hoping that i might find something for my rex, but still i can't hope much for the 'almost 20 year old power of dream machine'.

found this cut instead-EF8 B16A CRX big V last model. at first i was totally surprised by the mileage done by this engine, it's 65K worhhhh!!!!Damn mint!!!!(just try to be surprised la, we never knew if somebody have reversed the meter or not). but after asking the price, it's over for me. i still couldn't afford to pay that halfcut without bodypart for 7k nett!!!!(i've gone thru the negotiation part,hit me, its useless).

here's some pic on the cut. anybody who intrested can negotiate with the halfcut owner @ Shimouji


other than that, nothing much i can find....

so we went to federal motorsport, browse some stuff and find some intresting item also. but sorry if im not telling it now because i didn't bought it yet....just be patient.
then went to P1 Motorsport, try to get an Ultra Racing bars for my friend's SatNeo & Vios. they're promoting a new CF stiker for those who want to make their ride CF lookalike. sorry,intrested but not for the moment...haha.

forgot to mention that we ride on my friend's stock Honda Civic ES 1.7. this walkabout was actually meant for him after been labeled as 'kereta jinjang & siamese plate num' (sorry if i revealed it too much, but its damn true bro....heheh). now he hardly need some minor makeover, first of all - plate num. man, it was damn old skool, so please get rid of it quick. i guess he couldn't stand the laugh & make his move. good for u.now the joke is over. here's the nice stuff, & nice RS grill



my other friends (Bakor) came by with his Gen2. he had smoked his stock lamp, fabricate in P1 Motorsport for about rm150, i guess. so at least he can be proud of his mod lamp, and now a new pair of nice rims ( at least its not that ugly stock,keep it up bro).



going home empty handed though, but im happy for my friends for not making joke of him anymore. my ride still got a lot of work to do also.for the good of motorsport world, there's still a lot of things to learn & discover (er...plus modified). though it was a slow makeover, it still can be done....just keep the faith
