While waiting for my engine to be fitted, I did some shopping and bought some essential items for a turbocharged car... Boost meter is one of it... I know is not necessary to install one but I think that it is good to have one... At least I know how many bar my turbines are boosting and it makes me know whether I'm over boosting or not...

Next item is the turbo timer... Again I know that it is not necessary but I believe it is important for a turbocharged car to have one... It is not advisable to switch off your turbocharged engine after running it... At least let it idle for around 20-30 seconds before shutting it off in order to prolong the life of the turbine... With a turbo timer install, you don't have to wait for 30 seconds before shutting of the engine... You can just switch it off and let the timer do its thing...

Okay this item is not only for a turbocharged car... All cars needed one... It is important to run your car with an air filter... I know some hardcore driver running their car without one... Last time I did it too with my individual throttle bodies 'Kelisa'... But definitely not advisable!!! I'm using a 'HKS Reloaded' open pod air filter for my car... I'm using this air filter on my previous car... Since the filter is still in a very good condition, I only change the filter element... Nowadays there are a lot of imitation one around so please be careful when you purchase one unless you are looking for an imitation one in the very first place...

Still looking good after all these years...

Looks just like new...

To be continue...

I can't remember how many times that I have watched this movie... If I'm not mistaken, it should be three... This is something very normal for me if I find the movie worth watching... So I guess you know that I love this movie just because I have watched it three times!!! The third times just happened yesterday night... I'm not going into politics here but I believe it is the right time to watch this movie now!!!

If you are Malaysian and you don't know what I'm talking about, then I suggest you log on to 'Facebook' or read the newspaper... Okay let me give you some heads up... The latest news was the radio stations are not allow to say the word and the date!!! Get it??? No??? What about a colour that you can't wear next weekend??? I believe you know what I'm talking about now...

If is possible, I would like to recommend this movie to all Malaysians regardless of race, age or sex... Watch it and think for yourself... I know some might not accept what 'V' did in the movie while some might believe that this is the way to go... If you think and see carefully, you will find some similarities if you compare our beloved country with the one portray in the movie... This is really sad but is true... I won't give you an answer on which side I'm on but if you have my 'Facebook' then I'm very sure you know the answer!!!

I can still remember a phase that 'V' said in the movie... "The people SHOULD NOT xxxx the Government, instead the Government SHOULD xxxx the people (please replace the xxxx with the word that you find fit)... This is very well said!!! I couldn't agree more!!!

Their specialty... 'Steamed White Promfret'... Definitely a must order dish...

This year we celebrated 'Father's Day' at one of our favourite restaurant in 'Batu Pahat'... No fancy restaurant for us as we are looking for quality food... So let me introduce you to the magnificent 'Restoran Chor Kee'!!! If you are in 'Batu Pahat' and looking for something to feast on, look no further... Trust me...

Also their specialty... 'Steamed Egg'...

'Fried Chicken'... This is my first time trying this and it tasted okay for me... Nice but not spectacular...

This is definitely my favourite dish... We call it 'Bak Pa' which is 'Hokkien' for 'Pork Chop'... Frankly speaking, I believe I can wallop the whole plate!!! This is also a must order dish!!!

First time trying this tofu as well... Quite nice...

I like their fried fish too... But remember to use black promfret because it tasted much better compare to this fish which I don't really know the name...

Overall Rating - 4.3/5

Finally the 'Toyota 1JZ-GTE' engine is ready... Didn't do much to it just the usual timing belt, oil filter, engine and gearbox oil change... Frankly speaking, is been a long time since I'm this excited!!!

Adding some final touch to the engine...

Measuring the cross member in order to fabricate a custom engine mount... The original 'Merc' engine mounting is still retain though... Can't wait for them to fix the engine in!!!

My goodness... Just look at all the rust!!! The whole battery tray is gone...

Another 'Merc' sitting in the workshop... This is a W140 model with a 'Toyota 1JZ-GTE' engine with manual gearbox... If I'm the owner I will not go for manual although I love manual transmission... But I think that a 'Merc' is more suitable with an auto gearbox... Besides that, I would opt for the 'Toyota 2JZ-GTE' instead of '1JZ-GTE' as this 'S-Class' is one BIG and heavy car... So I believe the '2JZ-GTE' with all the extra torque is a much wiser choice...
