Sent my car to the workshop and it took only half a day for them to take out the original engine... What's left inside the engine bay was the original 'Merc' engine mount and aircond condensor...

I'm going to use back the original rear axle as well... Fabricating and fitting a 'Toyota' unit causes a lot of headache so for the time being, the original one will stay... I was told that the 'Merc' axle is the weakling here because it can't handle the power and torque from the 'Toyota 1JZ-GTE' engine... Besides that, the ratio is also different... But I guess the reason the axle fail is because of the material used for the gear inside the axle... Kinda soft I guess...

Original mounting...

Back half of the original 'Merc' long shaft still in place... A custom front section will be fabricated in order to fit the 'Toyota' unit with the 'Merc' unit... A word of caution here... A well balance long shaft is really crucial because if it is not balance, you will feel the car vibrating and this can be really annoying!!!

One BIG hole waiting for the new heart!!!

To be continue...

I don't really know whether can I be consider as a fan of 'Pirates of The Caribbean' movies franchise... The reason for this is because I love the first installment... But I skip the second and the third installment... I can't remember the reason for that but I didn't watch both movies and I know 'Pirates of The Caribbean' franchise can be considered as one of the most successful around... Kinda weird huh for a movie freak like me!!!

But this doesn't stop me from watching the latest installment, 'On Stranger Tides'... So how's the movie??? I would rate it as a 'B+' or maybe a double plus... Definitely not in the 'A' category I'm afraid... The storyline is very predictable and very typical for a movie involving pirates... You can't run away from adventure and of course some mythical creatures... Mermaids to be precise... Besides 'Captain Jack Sparrow', mermaids are my favourite character in this movie (Just look at the movie poster that I posted!!!)... I don't have to explain why I love them because the answer is really simple... They are gorgeous with their lovely legs err I mean flippers and not forgetting their naked body!!! Ok I know I'm 'hamsap' but you can't blame me cause I'm straight... Ask any straight men and I can guarantee their answer will be the same as mine unless they are a BIG liar and a bloody hypocrite!!!

What about the other movie stars??? I don't care who they cast for the characters but 'Johnny Depp' must be a part of it... In my opinion, it is him alone who make the movie enjoyable... If they decided to take out 'Orlando Bloom' or 'Keira Knightly' or some other people I'm fine with it... As long as 'Johnny Depp' is in the movie, you can't go wrong with it...

I'm having headache for these pass few weeks all thanks to our beloved cars... 'FrankenBenz' and 'Puggy' are giving me lots of problems recently... First was 'Puggy' which decided to have a flat battery again... After that, 'FrankenBenz' decided to throw tantrums and causes lots of headache for me... Temperature and gearbox are the main problem... And yesterday, 'Puggy' decided to throw something BIG at me... I was driving the car and suddenly I felt that the car lost a lot of power and simultaneously an error code came out... 'Depollution System Failure'... WTF was that??? So we decided to stop the car and took out the service manual and started searching for the error code... But we can't find anything and I decided to call 'Peugeot Service Care Line' and they told us that we should send the car in for a computerize diagnosis... So we got no choice but to send it in today... Seems like the turbine solenoid valve was the culprit... No wonder the car lost a lot of power... Now we are still waiting for the parts and it will only be available in a few days time so we got no choice but to drive the car in limp mode... As for 'FrankenBenz', overheating and gearbox problems still exist... Still can't determine the exact culprit for the time being!!! Problems, problems, problems!!!

WOW was the first reaction that I've got when I saw the movie preview for the very first time... Looking at the name of this movie, make it a double WOW for me... I like movies involving exorcism and vampire... So 'Priest' will definitely fit in my 'MUST WATCH' list for this year...

But after the movie, I started to curse myself... Why waste money on this shitty movie!!! Not even 'Maggie Q' can saved this movie as it was a disaster!!! So so storyline plus not so visual appealing CGI... What more can you ask for from a BAD movie??? 'Priest' tick all the right boxes so in my humble opinion, definitely not worth watching... Save you time and money from it!!!
