b16a — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:16:37 +0800

my accord cf9 is using hondata in p30 ecu..using skunk 2 stage 2 cams..initially i dont like he lumpy idle as it goes as high as 2krpm when idle.so i ask tuner to tune it down a bit..

now i new problems came out, when my car got stuck on traffic jams,the idle is at the highest point 1krpm,but the lowest is as low as 300rpm..the car felt like nak mati..(bergoyang2 one)..the temperature is ok, but i felt that radiator fan didnt switch on as usual..the car seems heavy,and i can hear the distributor cap sound..so annoying..it got worst with the ac on

anyone can recommend me a good hondata tuner in penang?

av setup based on location for

b16a — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 12:28:30 +0800

heres the thing, its a topic that combines house renovation(mostly on paints, wall paper and location) and av setups..but i think it is propriate to post it here rather than home reno or ht setup.

im in the middle of renovating my house.that includes painting(choice of colour) and lightning<--bukan kilat tapi lampu. so before i decide, i need some suggestion and reasoning.but firstly let me tell you about myself.and a lil bit of my "not so pandai' about av stuff and home design..plus some thing that i understand.

1.lcd is good at a not so dimmed area.while plasma is the opposite.

2.i have an old school tot of if wanna watch movies, its better to have apitch black room and shut all the doors to get the best sounding..but then i heard theories about #1. plus they say better but some light at the back of the tv to get blacker black,high contrast and ambient light.

3.htib is good in a empat segi room compared to living room.vice versa for soundbars..

4.wireless speaker for better look is a scam. u still need to connect to power .(that mean each surround speakers will have its own dedicated plug)?

5. i dont want to buy same thing twice, already got a plasma and htib. looking forward for sound bar and full hd lcd

6.will be watching hd astro in the living room and hd movies in the bedroom.(unfortunately my plasma is non hd) refer #1. living room would be a bit dimmed but bedroom pitch black.

so guys.
any suggestion what i should put(combination htib,hdtv,sounbar) in the

1.bedroom
2.living room

and what kind of colours should i paint my walls, the wallpaper colours and the lamps..<--that suit and have the best effect for the combination.

folding (to the wall) dining table

b16a — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 09:32:13 +0800

anyone have any idea about this?
walk around penang and found a shop that can do it. but too pricy.. the 'kaki"(german made) alone was quoted at rm4k!. and its an automatic using remote .
im just looking something that---to suit my small sized aprtment 850sqft.

1.less space consuming
2.reliable and durable as an ordinary dining table
3.hinges that last at least 10 years.
4.solid wood preferable.
5.automatic folding is an optional depand on the $$$.
6.if possible can hide the "kaki"

i browsed the web but still cant find the exact one like i want. in the net, most of them are the usual folding one..i just want a "hide it thru or at the wall" folding type.

b16a — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 09:53:59 +0800

i just bought the ps43d451.

anyone else have it and care to share their experience here on price,calibration,setting etc.

i bough it at rm1660 in penang.with 2 years warranty.This is my first korean product

from 32'' lcd to 43" plasma.. what i can say is.. wow!! superb picture, a lot better watching astro sd compared to lcd. but i gotta train my eyes before getting used to it. kinda "warm" compare to the lcd.
cant compare to full hd plasma but its bang for buck made me buy it.. altho some of my friend says im going backward because nowadaya people layan LED.
ps:tak pandai nak bubuh gambar lah.budak baru.

plasma,conventional and microwave oven

b16a — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:02:51 +0800

im a bout to design my kitchen cabinet and living room.so i need some explanation on this. those who have any experience on this are highly appriciated.

1. to mount a 42" plasma to(more to into) the wall. i mean gotta "tebuk" d wall to hide all the wire.. with such limited space at the back of the plasma.(we all know plasma generate heat,more than lcd). will it gonna cost me a problem in the long run?

2.to design a kitchen cabinet with a dedicated space to put the microwave and conventinal oven.(permanantly).. what is the best advise to do so?i mean. should there be a gap to let the air ventilation out.? or put it far from the refrigerator or something..

looking for a "nice look" and practicality in a renovation

thanks in advance

[addedon]March 25, 2011, 3:50 pm[/addedon]errr no one wish to share? oh should i look in kitchen cabinet thread? too long to read la..

the best way to improve my english

b16a — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 15:55:12 +0800

help needed.
i think its time for me improve my english .to write or post something in english that are not just merely understandable but adding a "beauty" and eliminating grammatical /or any other error on it.and sometime because of "saya taip lain orang faham lain"

i like english very much,and when engaging in a debate or forum i got lotta point to share but my english arggggh!!<--thats the main reason why.

my english history
1.im 35 years old.. so i dont think my brain is as fast as 10 years ago
2.im trilingual. japanese,malay and english
3.the last proper education of english is 18 years ago during spm era.
4.i work in a non english speaking enviroment.even at home.
5.i have no problem understanding.but to speak or to write something back are my main problem.
6.i read english book,english article and spending my time in english forums..(its been 2 years already,but it seems not enough)
7.during my schooling period english is a kacang to me, scored A2 for the subject in the spm
8.i like to watch english programmes very much.movies,etc..and i watched action packed movies and humor type a lot..so somehow it made me or shape me as a spoken american slang trapped in a written english ..so picking a fight,ultimatum phrases,making fun or funny matter is what i do best.but not the proper english..

so,how can i improve my english the easiest,fastest way? do i need to go to english classes? based on my condition above?

ps:- kinda bizarre,but i find myself mesmerised by good english..i go like "wow! his english made my nose bleed"..

thanks in advance in any.

music characteristic

b16a — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 08:46:57 +0800

nobody cant tell u wat kind of music u sud listen to..its really up to you..
but in a way for you to achieve d "fullness" of what u might wanna listen,maybe sifus can help about d stuff(HU,COMP,AMP,SUB)
EVERY hu,comp,amp etc got its own charaterictic for wat kinda of sound it will produce..wether paired wif different setup wat so ever..
i cant discuss more about that because i dont have a clue yet..and theres a lot of brand outhere that we can choose but not many reviews about it..and seldomly we can test different setup becoz we for sure need a lot of ICE friend b4 auditing it...even after u done it..maybe d conclusion differ..to each have different ears n preferences...

i always think its better to choose wat u wanna listen 1st than setup 1st after that train ur processor(brain n ears) and adapt to the sound produced from d setup afterwards..

so i came across a few term of music charecteristic...(not music genre)...

1.warm
2.dynamic
3.thin
4.flat
5.natural
6.lounge

can any sifus enlighten me wif those terms? and if possible choose a song or genre to best suit it? if ok share the setup also lah...

in my mind now
1.warm =ballad song,not so digital type of music...hmmm such as eagles hotel california?
2.dynamic=emphasised on tweets or bass like slow rock,n maybe hip hop song?
3.thin =like listening to a movie dialog?conversation?
4.flat = NEGARAKU or any national anthem song?
5.natural= some sort of kitaro or kenny G? or maybe some live unplugged concert?
6.lounge = dont have any ideas..

ps...actually i really dun know how to ask this,,not very good at typing..but i hope ppl can undestand wat tis thread is all about

fake branded ICE product

b16a — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 14:22:36 +0800

anybody have any experience bought a fake branded product here?
lets share..
the common way to avoid it are
1.buy from a reputable shop/seller
2.do some homework about d product that u wanna buy(surfing)
3.look at d price..gud thing are too good to b cheap
4.a warranty n some small booklet of d product.iowners manual also included..

but ive come across with some shop tellin me some popular ICE product are fake..wat worries me is
1.they sold d fake item same price as d original.
2.got warranties as well,owners manual everything..but not d same paper as d original..
3.u only realise its a fake only when u purchase and use it..not any earlier
4.some shop tellin the item is cheap bcouse got clerance sale.
5.sometimes when surfin d produtc website..d items model not existed

are d shop BS me..or there is really A-grade fake item out there in d market?sifus can u gimme a guideline n benchmark to follow..

as for the nearly same name its easy to detect..eg.lightning audio=lightning acoustic alpine=aline
