  1. I am contemplating stage 1. A friend told me he can charge me at a very special rate to upspec my power to 230PS and 300Nm at wheel for my little 1.4L. But many things sits unanswered. I will have to replace my brakes to a BBK and my ARB most likely will have to be replaced. And I will only be able to pump a minimum of RON97 petrol and so on.... If only I print $$$ for a living. Honestly speaking, my current condition suffices on the track in PG but inadequate in Sepang. And the running costs of the engine spares might be appalling in time to come.
  2. I don't think there's none. But you need to search around. The more successful ones will surely be intruded by advertisments. Take it easy and ignore them. But sometimes, the advertisements may show you something interesting.
  3. haha.. that will depend what car forum do you intend to go to? Chances are that you will run into advertisers wherever you go.
  4. Motorcycles are perceived to be rich man's toys in Europe. I have colleagues who take long leave to ride from Wurzburg to Istanbul. And they call it a well deserved holiday. I have 2 particular colleagues one from Wurzburg & one from Bremen especially excited about motorcycles. Spent months trying to overhaul his bike so he can start to enjoy the wind on the road. But the perception is so much different here.
  5. bro, your background helps... Try and hide your E63 for an altis, take a bus & paint your background mediocre. That will be interesting.
  6. I used the E71 for a month. Never hung on me. I think by far, this is the best phone I used so far. I am looking forward at how the E72 can perform.
  7. I tried the E71 for about a month. Quite very much the best phone I used so far. Just need to get used to the camera AF function that does not come with a one button execution. It serves all my functions at work easily and the support parts are easy to find. I could've tried more functions but alas the kind bro jB who loaned me this phone was selling it. Then I tried the BB9000. Troublesome, problematic, loads of hassles just to execute one function. The BB is the worst phone I've ever used. I was so frustrated that I almost threw the phone out of the window. I am going for the E72 without anymore questions.
  8. Same... I always tell my friends... what is a girl without a car, without interest in cars, without licence, no interest in taking a licence doing in a male dominated car forum. Sad to say... To be fair the girls I spoke about comes from a wide array of background. Including girls from traditional churches. And the worst sort when girls don't even think you are fit to be a normal friend because you ride a motorcycle. They should distant themselves away from you because you are a bad influence... how amusing... what do you think?
  9. When I ride, I don't mind the rain because it helps me understand the pains of those who don't have a roof over their heads and so I will learn to appreciate my accomodation more. I don't mind the sun as I can exploit the heated tarmac to bring out the most of my tyres making me grin from ear to ear. I don't mind being passed by huge vehicles that creates cross winds reducing my stability. So I can constantly be reminded that I should never overestimate myself in everything I do as I am still mere mortal. I don't mind being caught in the chilling night shivering while on the NSHW because I am always reminded that there're people out there in underprivileged countries deprived of their entitlement to a warm cosy home. So when I return home, I can always thank God for his mercy that I don't have to endure the cold out there. I don't mind getting stuck in jams on my bike sweating inside out because it helps me to lose weight effectively. I also get to talk to the next guy caught in the jam and make new friends regardless of their nationality. I don't mind being tailgated by a Evo, WRX or come what may because I can grant them their wish to embaress themselves when they challenge a teleporting machine like the R1. See me pull away faster than their cars can catch up. But I can never ever accept it when I am treated like a second class road user when I am not even allowed to ride in the lane like I was trained in BBDC when other cars just zoom past me deliberately. I cannot accept it when I am not allowed to park in the shopping mall even though I have every intention to spend money there. I cannot accept it when a girl looks at me in detestation because I am a rider and not a driver. I cannot accept it when I ride to the church, I am told to park away from the church as my bike is an eyesore to the elite dominated church premises. Motorcycling is a choice. Not because we have no choice.
  10. Oh well.... not all. But the ones many of my friends run into are like that. To be fair met some of the girls who stick with their bf even during poverty. But far and few. What about you? if a rich and handsome promising young chap comes after you with all that romance persistantly, will you give up your bf? Are these not enough? Well... some girls will just come and say because you cannot get yourself a Singaporean girl, so you paint them all bad. For that, it makes you a loser. If you are good, why don't you go and make yourself rich so the girls will come to you? It's about wealth again... My friend in the SAF, dumped by his gf when he was terminated from SAF and his future bleak when he had to repay $50k... One in many cases. I recall how I was despised when a girl sees me riding and choosed to sit in my friend's car even though he kept asking her to take my bike repeatedly. For girls who like to enjoy the thrills of riding, choose the guy with bigger bike over the guy with the smaller bike, or even enjoys the attention to have guys swept under her feet. I remember being scolded by a girl that no one dares to 'put her aeroplane' and I was the first one when I refused to turn up for her outings. Am I one of her options? After some communicating, it turned out I wasn't the only one who refused to bow. ... oh well... the examples don't stop. There're guys who're really @#$% too... but now what I see are that girls cheat more than guys. Maybe I can be proven wrong. I guess matching making is the thing of the past when values are different. Nowadays, I don't expect match making to be very applicable. But at least don't dump your bf just because a richer guy is pursuing after the girl with fervour. Very sad to say... some of my friends who made it in later part of their lives choose not to get attached or marry. They came across girls during their earlier days who took them for granted despite their commitment. Ironically, having more money to spare, girls to come them now.
  11. Did you arm yourself with a pistol? You are welcomed. Your wife and your car?
  12. "no money no talk" sounds very familiar.... How many guys here have ever been cast over for another guy with a car by a Singaporean girl? Sounds crappy isn't it? But that's the quality of Singaporean girls. I was even once told off by a Singaporean girl that if her husband don't even have the drive to acquire a successful career and feed his family with luxuries, he is not fit to marry. So I asked... what about the situation when the successful breadwinning husband becomes an invalid or sustains chronic illness that depletes savings quickly... She did not answer. Obviously, she's not going to stay with her husband if that happens. @#$% Where is the undying love? Or is the women's charter so strong that it becomes abused. When men cheat, the woman will demand for endless supply of $$$ to destroy the man even though both are generating similar income. But when the woman cheats, the man can only sit by and consider himself lucky if he is not required to pay anything to the slut committed to infidelity. That's why the many local men are going for foreign brides. I met a girl who lamented that she cannot find a bf who will be good to her. And it is now even more difficult with the influx of 'foreign talents'. I replied that girls who only benchmark guys to what he owns will always be a slut in the eyes of the guy. So who will want a slut? Sounds logical?
  13. http://forums.asiaone.com/showthread.php?t=30602&page=56 Long debate about Singaporean girls from the eyes of a Singaporean man. Genius is a very interesting poster. He reflects truth in a rather amusing and blunt way. In summary, he says in a very subtle way, 1) Singaporean girls are materialistic. 2) Will not stick with you through thick and thin. 3) You must be well off if you want a Singaporean girl. No money no talk. 4) If you lose your wealth for even the best reasons, don't expect her to weather the storms with you. 5) Singaporean girls will not bother about what she needs to do to maintain the marriage. She is only bothered about how are you going to maintain the marriage. 6) Singaporean men are sought after because of characteristics. 7) Singaporean men have needs that are not met in the marriage because the Singaporean wife doesn't bother to try to satisfy. 8) Singaporean men are deemed less worthy by Singaporean girls because they are not caucasians. Though not all, I concur to many of his points. Where is the love? If the man can stay with his gf/wife through thick and thin without straying and overlooking all her flaws, why can't the girl do the same. The Singaporean girls I met in school, church, gatherings, pubs are basically the same when it comes to relationships. What type of qualifications do you have to stand a chance to woo me? And if you cannot maintain it, I will simply find another bf. How it feels to stay on a job which your employer will retrench you anytime you perform lower than expected? That's how it feels to be in a relationship with a Singaporean girl.
  14. Look really nice. I mean both of them.
  15. Can you change the location to West Coast Mc?
  16. Any fuocos here interested in a tailgate catcher? I mounted up a camera at the back of the bike. Very prominent and it somehow deters tailgaters. For those habitual or less observant drivers to know there's a camera right in front, the number plate is captured clearly on the video. Recognisable by up to 8GB SD card which is separately purchased, 64MB built in RAM, Comes with bracket to mount to the rear crashbar of the Fuoco. Alternative strap and velcro mounts and brackets included. $100/each set. Batteries and SD memory card not included. Anybody else interested? Very fun to see who's the tailgaters. So those who rear end you cannot accuse you of weaving through traffic if you didn't. You can use the camera for front mount but I am thinking of how to make a bracket for the front mount.
  17. Do I smell a meet up soon? Fuoco Owners (1) Williamleesg - Black (2) Chao Chao - Red (3) MS - Black
  18. Nevermind, still the same. Easier to hold the girl's hand. You will be so much attractive to girls without the child seat.
  19. When you drive a E64, you get to hold the girl's hand much easier. Yen, just take it easy. Dont't invest too much feelings into such relationships. Hit and run if possible. It is very hard to find a girl who's truely faithful to you.
  20. bro, can you enlighten me if the 9700 camera comes with auto focus? I am in a dilemma over this and the E72. The nokia E72 certainly has what I am looking for and the price is better. But the blackberry seems more robust when it comes to emails and all these. but then... I am quite a nerd to these.
  21. What's next?! It's to start investing our money into something that reaps appreciating returns than dumping it into a depreciating liability.
  22. Torque wrench requires annual calibration. You should buy one with the local facilities to calibrate. Otherwise buy a disposable one like King Tony. With a specs like 20Nm ~ 210Nm, It is below $100.
  23. Mercedes Benz! The father of modern Automotive engineering! Started up by Daimler and then joined with Karl Benz. Adopted Daimler's daughter's name Mercedes to form Mercedes Benz. Gave birth to great automotive genius like Ferdinand Porsche who broke off from Mercedes Benz due to disagreements set up Porsche. Hitler recognised his talents and invited him to set up Volkswagen originally known as Kraft durch freud (KDF). Screwed it up and relied on British engineering officer CPT Ivan Hirst to rebuild VW. The Japanese were all Germans copycats in the 20h century.
  24. What about semi automatic? Like DSG, Tiptronic, PDK all these?
  25. creed, I am glad you are alright. My friend wasn't as lucky as you. She was cremated a while ago. What I think you should do is to go to your MP if you don't get any reply within a week. And are you injured terribly that you cannot work? Your loss of income should be included in your claims against the taxi driver. Go to your MP and explain your problem nicely to your MP. Ask the MP to write a letter for you. Don't wait for the police to act. They may never act. And go to the hospital if you need to. Don't visit a GP. A hospital MC will be valid. 3 days MC warrants a TP case. The cop who told you he is not sure of it ought to be penalised. How can he engage a public and express his ignorance on procedure. Last but not least, ride safe and don't ride if you can't. You life is worth more than anything else.
