Mazda 3 Hatchback / Toyota Prius C

aman83 — Sun, 11 Jun 2017 09:29:22 +0800

Hi guys I need your expert opinion.

I'm looking to replace my 17 year old Proton Wira 1.6 Millennium Edition and I've cut down my choices to either a Mazda 3 Hatchback or a Toyota Prius C.

Both car is of the same year, 2013.
Both car is below RM50K.
Mazda 3 Hatchback has 5* EuroNCAP, Prius C 5* AusNCAP.
Both almost equally sized.

Other than 1 is a hybrid built for fuel efficiency, I can seem to choose between the two.

Which car do you guys reckon I should go with, I'm looking for the I which will last me quite a while with low running cost.

Thanks for your help.

Has anyone tried Instanet by Celcom

aman83 — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 08:24:19 +0800

Hi,

I thinking of getting a Mobile Broadband to use for a couple of month only. Its for my wife as she will be going back to her hometown for 3 month.

I already have a Streamyx line at my house, while she has a P1 Wimax line at her house. So we just need it for while she's at her hometown. So we don't want any service that has a commitment period as we will most probably end the service after the 3 month.

Is Instanet the best choice for us or are there any other?

Another question is are there any time period for Instanet prepaid, meaning will the airtime expire if I don't use it within the time period?

Thanks in advance.

My budget is around RM10K, and after looking around my choices are:-

3. More than a decade old Kawasaki Vulcan 500 (1997 bike)

Which of the three is a better choice in terms of:-
1. Reliability
2. Part Availability
3. Maintenance Cost
4. Fuel Consumption

Any previous owner care to help me?
Thanks in advance.

POST Card

aman83 — Mon, 18 May 2009 12:02:15 +0800

1stly,NO not the one you send to your friends and family when on a holiday,it the one you use for diagnostic purposes on a motherboard,usually by slotting it in the PCI Slot.

My question is,

1.Is it still relevant this days?

2.Is anybody still using it?

3.Have anybody even seen it nowadays?

The last time i saw one was on a 478 P4 Mobo,it was an Abit IT7 Max II if i remembered it correctly and it was built in.

If it is still relevant in today's environment I'm thinking of getting one for my troubleshooting purposes.

Problem with VMWare

aman83 — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 22:15:39 +0800

Need some help here.

I'm running WinXP SP2 as Host OS and cant seem to get VMWare to work,I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 as Guest OS.
I,ve tried VMWare Server & VMware Workstation both with the same problem.

The machine hardware is NForce2 Mobo running AMD Athlon 2000+ with 1GB RAM and 80GB WD IDE.

The machine boot up with Ubuntu CD but when i select the boot & install Ubuntu it goes blank.Any idea?

I've rule out that it the CD or VMWare installer problem,cos I've successfully run Virtual Ubuntu on an HP NX5000 Laptop.

Brakes Modification

aman83 — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 15:43:45 +0800

Hi all,
I'm driving a Millennium Edition Wira Aeroback,and I'm thinking of doing some modification on my brakes to make it better.

Some shop recommend me to change the brake servo to a bigger servo,my concern is whether it will make my car wheels lock up when emergency braking.

Another option is changing the brake hose kit,will there be any noticeable changes?

Anybody know how much will the above modification cost?And which is better?

Any other recommendation?
