Aftermarket oil cooler

axtray — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 09:40:04 +0800

Hi all,

Can anyone give suggestion on a good place to install aftermarket oil cooler around kl/Selangor area? I know the car comes with one, but during recent spirited driving, I decided to data log and found that during acceleration from 130-200 the oil temp shoot up to 126c.

On normal driving the oil temp averages around 113-118.

coolant temp averages 103-107c during the run

225/40 R18 and 245/35 R18

axtray — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 17:05:27 +0800

Hello everyone

I am currently in the market looking for tires as per below specs (each in pairs)

225/40 R18
245/35 R18

Also preferbly if they're RFT as well.

Currently on Bridgestone S001. I don't mind re-using these tires but somewhere among the threads I saw people saying that there are better brands, cheaper, better grip and even last longer too.

Unfortunately the problem is that by googling, i can easily find options for the 225/40 ones (shop quoted Pirelli Pzero for 850 per piece). However i'm finding it very heard to find the 245/35 ones. The massive tyre price list only had non rft version.

I even called a big shop that i know in Klang and they don't even carry this size.

Anyone can suggest? Thanks in advance!

Buying Used Car - Super low mileage vs

axtray — Fri, 18 Jan 2019 15:27:54 +0800

Update: added poll. Pretty interesting to see different opinions. Hope itll help other potential car buyers too.

Update: I just realized that I didn't mention the car in question. It's bmw f20 120i. The 2016 (car 2) being sold by Ingress Auto while 2015 (car 1) by Auto Bavaria. Both under their approved premium selection line

Hello Everyone

As per topic, I would like to know your opinions for the below the scenarios/options I have at the moment. Both cars are the same model, both are from authorized dealer's approved selection

Car 1
Low mileage (40,000 km) with proper service record. year 2015

Car 2
Super low mileage (2500 km). I have yet to check the car so I am not sure if the owner serviced the car following the schedule (as in since the mileage is low, change oil within 1 year). The car's year is 2016. I did call the saleslady and was told that the owner bought the car in 2016 but hardly use the car as he is always overseas.

Both cars are still under warranty. price different, about RM10,000.

Update: I just realized that I didn't mention the car in question. It's bmw f20 120i. The 2016 being sold by Ingress Auto while 2015 by Auto Bavaria. Both under their approved premium selection line

just to add: Car 2 just appeared in the listing today. While my loan for Car 1 was approved and I had signed the loan agreement yesterday. However haven't arrange for the transfer of ownership

Xiaomi Mi Band 3 strap/wristband for small wrist

axtray — Sun, 04 Nov 2018 08:07:10 +0800

Hello all.

Just got my wife a Mi Band 3. Unfortunately her wrist is small so even if when strapped to the very last hole, it is still loose so she has to move it quite high up to nearly the middle of her forearm.

Does anyone else particularly the ladies or wristlet guys have this issue? Appreciate if you can suggest any good strap/wristband alternatives.

Thanks

Workout Journal

axtray — Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:45:20 +0800

It's 2016, finally decided to keep a workout journal here after 1st phase of body recomposition.

Brief history,
2006-2007 weight was close to 120kg thanks to late night dota and fast-food. Not to mention was also glued to mmorpg at one point as well.

2008 decided to lose weight. Joined a gym. But didn't last. Plus diet was also wrong. But managed to cut the weight down to about 100ish kg.

2009, weight continued to go down since lifestyle slightly improved and also wasn't as glued to dota and stopped mmorpg. Weight fluctuating around 90ies

2010, end of the year decided to try again but was not hitting the gym. tried to clean up the diet by eating really clean. Managed to get the weight below 90 for the first time by the end of 2010.

2011, Jan started going to the gym again. However diet still wasn't correct (eventhough it was clean, but thinking back, was on a too much of a deficit and also lacking in protein). However the good thing I started lifting weights properly and doing most of the compounds. Managed to get the weight down to low 80ies by middle of the year. Started working and was finding it hard to stay consistent. Ended up stop going all together by August. Weight slowly going up again by then

2012, weight was back to mid 90ies. Joined fitness first in April. But was finding it hard to continue due to the gym was jam packed after office hours. Lasted 4 month but the weight didn't go down due to diet was a mess. Ended up stop going.

2013, weight was still mid 90ies. In Jun tried to start again and this time joined another gym that is not as packed. Diet was still all over the place. Was making progress with the lifts but weight was not going down as much. Wasn't consistent. Ttried using the office gym and fall into the trap of smith machine and other guided machine workout, started to have imbalance strength and muscle development. Ended up didn't last as well and stopped at the end of the year.

2014, planned to go to Japan in Aug so decided to give it a shot again. Started going to the gym at workplace again and found some training partners (colleagues). Managed to get the weight down back to the low 80s. But again diet was still not correct. Weight went down but still carrying alot of fat. After returned from Japan, barely managed to continue and stopped again by Nov.

2015, early Jan decided the year will be my last chance to get things right. Started a proper diet (mostly trying to ensure meeting protein requirement) but still playing guessing game for the first 2 months. Making steady but much better progress than the previous years. Workout about 3-4 times a week. But middle March decided if in order to get the abs, the diet needs to be strict. Started properly counting calories and weighing food. That was when the weight started to go down very fast (since was underestimating the calories by quite abit). Workout frequency also made consistent, 5 times a week hitting all body (was initially not hitting legs) parts and main lifts consist of compounds with free weights and stayed away from the machines (except for cable machine).

Mid Apr managed to bench 100 kg for the first time. Deadlifted 150 kg. Squat was still puny, struggling to get to 100 kg. Db overhead press managed 30kg for each db. Finally started seeing the abs by early may for the first time. However late May got injured. injury was due to incorrect bench press technique and had caused left side of the upper body to lose alot of strength (was struggling to even pour water). Stopped going to the gym to recover but was still doing body weight exercise at home and also using the dbs and ez curl bar available. After the fasting month, started going to the gym again. All of the lifts had to start from scratch.

By mid September almost all major lifts had recovered and continued making progress again. In the middle of Oct, was finding the weight at the hotel gym that I was going to wasn't enough (only had dbs up to 25 kg and barbell. no bench press station and squat rack. but they have smith machine which was only used for pull ups lol), so ended up joining celeb fitness. Found out bf percentage was about 11%. This was taken after dinner. Weirdly when i tried again the next week on empty stomach, it was at 9% ish (yea I know its not accurate but at least can act as reference point to see progress). At this time was on extreme cut. The weight actually went down to as low as 71kg. Facial aesthetic was looking like I was on drugs. But in Dec, decided to do a quick bulk and managed to get the weight to increase to 77 kg by end of the month (yea I'd say most the increase is thanks to water retention).

By end of Dec, current stats were

Bench press: Post Injury, no Idea. Max 1RM was 100 kg pre-injury (1RM)

Db bench press: 32 kg each (5x5)

Overhead press: 60 kg (had some leg drive so more of a push press) (1RM)

Squat: max was 120kg (1RM). But was working on 80% for the workout set.

Deadlift: Max was 150 kg (1RM before injury) Didn't try maxing out after recovered. Was working at about 80% as well for the workout set so around 120 to 130 kg.

Lowest body fat shown on the machine, 8.1% (though im guessing more of around 10ish%). Height, 184 cm.
