[WTA] car spray-painting suggestions

lucifer_666 — Sun, 08 Jul 2018 22:31:51 +0800

Thinking of respraying my old myvi, both interior & exterior. Starting to rust by the edges. Any suggestions for Northern region and how much should I expect it to cost?

And do they usually remove the old paint or just spray it over? Do I have to deal with JPJ/Puspakom after color change?

Please advise and thank you.

Convert MY to SG driving license

Does anyone here got the experience or knowledge on the process for such conversion? The procedure, documentation, costs, waiting period etc? Color blindness issue?

Already went through their website, but still need some clarification... Maybe someone here can help and point me to the right direction

Thanks

so here's the scenario. my pc is having problem in starting. most of the time, itll boot without display and i have high suspicion that the mobo is going to give up on me. it might take like countless restart before the bios screen is displayed and normal boot sequence is initiated. even still,the hdd boot sequence will have been reset by then (which makes me suspicious of possible dying mobo). so, im thinking of replacing the mobo and while im at it, replace my cpu and ram as well as to extend the life of the setup. however, im not so sure if i should spend almost RM 1K to do that or should i build a new system altogether. current spec would be as follows:-

E4500 (2.2 GHz core 2 duo)
MSI P965 Neo
6GB ddr2 ram
X1950 GT (256 mb ddr3, 256bit)
4TB HDD (2TB x 1, 1TB x 2)

currently, I have my eyes on:

Q9550 (rm 420) or QX9650 (rm 530)
Asus P5 LD2 (rm 220) or Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3 (rm 180 negotiable) (ddr2)
Asus P5Q3 (rm 485) (ddr3)

and if im getting the ddr3 version, id then have to spend another rm170 for a single stick 8GB ram (if i remember the price correctly)

so, should i just replace the mobo, but not the cpu, or just mobo and cpu but retain ddr2 setup?

or should i build a new system altogether using i5 processor and ergo new mobo and ram as well? or even more, wait till new cpu socket is released or ddr4 ram to be mainstream?

advise and opinions please
