AE90 engine swap

malaysian2001uk — Mon, 04 May 2015 10:08:00 +0800

The story is i got this old AE90 that i've been using for a while, the problem is its a bit on the underpowered side with its original 1.3 2e-e engine. I did a few research and found a few engines that can be swap in but unsure of which one is the best. Any sifu here are familiar in the topic and what r the usual budget for a swap for that particular engine. What i'm really looking for is reliability & power, something that can really take a trashing.

Here's what i'm considering:
1 - 4age redtop
2 - Silvertop
3 - Blacktop
4 - 4agze

Gadmei utv332e error

malaysian2001uk — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 16:35:45 +0800

I just bought a Gadmei UTV332E usb tv box a few days ago, the problem is that it can't work with my windows 7 64bit. It's stated on the packaging that it can work with windows 7 but the reality is otherwise, it can detect the hardware but after installing the driver, there's an error that states the driver is not built for this platform. Tried downloading the driver from the official website, but after installing, the problem is still there

Can any sifus out there help me please

Intel C2Q Q6600 vs AMD Phenom AM2+ 9600

malaysian2001uk — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:12:50 +0800

I'm building a new rig for around RM3800 which i will be using for gaming, animations and graphic designs. I was wondering which of this two quad core processor is better, Intel C2Q Q6600 (2.4Ghz) or AMD Phenom AM2+ 9600 (2.3Ghz)?

Which is better, Celcom or Maxis?

malaysian2001uk — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 18:06:19 +0800

I'm going to continue my study and thinking of getting a wireless broadband package because the area that i live in has no fon line so i cannot connect to the internet the conventional way. This is because the area is a new residential development. I regularly downloads big files from the net and thinking of getting the 3.6Mbps package.

My question is which of this two (Celcom & Maxis) packages is better in term of speed?

Usually the wireless packages includes a USB modem for laptops, does the modem also works with desktops?

Pentium 4 Overclocking - Stability & Temperature

malaysian2001uk — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 10:25:34 +0800

I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my old rig a few month ago and it's running fine . But yesterday i had to overclock it from 2.6Ghz -> 3.2Ghz so that i can run N.F.S Prostreet when it came out.

The case temperature after a couple hours of watching movies was around 45c while the cpu were around 55c, is this normal?

What the maximum temperature for a Pentium 4 before it blows?

What software could i use to test the stability of my system after overclocking and also to monitor it's temperature while on the desktop (must work with vista)?

Thanx

Changing car's fabric interiors

malaysian2001uk — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 16:32:11 +0800

I drive a Toyota AE92 which i regularly drive to work, and the interior is getting quiet dirty and the color also starting to fade. What i mean by the interior is the fabric door panels and roof lining. I was wondering how much would it regularly cost to change the fabric with a new fabric or other easy clean material?

Does anyone know a shop that can do it in JB?

Thanx

Prowin - Car Security System

malaysian2001uk — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:10:22 +0800

I'm thinking of buying a new security system to replace my old one just for extra security. So i went to my local store and was attracted with this one particular set from "Prowin", it's logo is a head of an eagle. Tried searching for some info but can't find any.

Can't really remember the actual model, the price is around RM600. The system has->

-remote starter
-remote boot open
-remote window open/close
-immobilizer
-the remote vibrate and makes sounds if the car is being stolen, broken into, bumped, etc... withing 5000m
radius of the car
-etc... quiet high tech stuff

So basically my question is:

1] Has anyone got a Prowin system installed and is it any good?
2] Is the price of RM600 to expensive for this kind of system?

Do recommend other good car alarm system.

All Toyota AE92

malaysian2001uk — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 11:39:23 +0800

I'm driving a Toyota AE92 right now with non-power windows and steering. Drivers at my workplace has a bad habit of parking their car close together so its almost impossible to get my car out. I'm also using a sport steering which is quiet small and hard to turn when parked.

Basically my question is:

1: Can a Toyota AE92 be fitted with power steering and how much would it cost
2: Where can i get the parts for the car (preferable somewhere in J.B)
3: Will there be any negative points if my car is fitted with a power steering
