Hi Guys,

Just Purchased an Unregistered Car (AP) . Was wondering what the Procedure and cost to get it "Registered"? The salesman wants to charge RM2,700 for the process. Can I get another runner or someone else to do it instead?

Samsung S5 Warranty on rooted phone

ballsofsteel — Fri, 13 Feb 2015 00:33:11 +0800

I have rooted my Galaxy S5, and unfortunately my gps died on me. I have basically tried everything( different roms, etc etc editing build props ) but the GPS refuses to get a lock on my phone no matter how long its in an exposed field.

So tomorrow I have decided to head down to the Samsung service center to see if they will 'repair' it. ( Its currently rooted)

Should I even bother? ( I reflashed to stock rom for now of course) Any experience with rooted samsung phones and warranty is greatly appreciated!

Cheap Project car

ballsofsteel — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 20:36:11 +0800

Hey guys, was wondering whether you guys could recommend a car that has cheap parts and an easy to modify engine bay.

Was planning on getting a weekend project car that I could mess around with for fun. ( Think- CAI , Pod filter, suspension mods , Not really for cosmetic mods.)

*Just have the urge to start a new hobby? heh

Thanks.

NB : Not looking for a death trap that goes insanely fast. Just want something easy to fix and fun to drive and easy to mod.

Mercedes CLK w209 aftermarket double Din

ballsofsteel — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 00:26:39 +0800

Hey guys, I am a noob when it comes to cars. Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

I have a relatively old CLK320 (2005) and my audio unit is stuffed Are there any places that you would recommend for me to go to retrofit a third party Audio unit? Or perhaps even a second hand would be good.

Cheers

How to check / pay police summon?

ballsofsteel — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 18:29:25 +0800

So today I got a parking summon and was wondering how to pay it. Checked Myeg and rilek and came back with no results which was fair enough as I got the ticket this morning

But then I smsed 32728 and typed Polis saman (vehicle no) and it said i had a speeding fine recorded in January which cost rm200 however I can't see it online and have not received it in the mail . So what should I do ?

Also what's the easiest way to pay for the parking fine I committed today ?

Ps I live in KL

Thanks

Best Notebook cooler for Clevo P150HM/Sager 8150?

ballsofsteel — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:32:47 +0800

Hey guys was wondering what cooler you guys would recommend for a Clevo P150HM with a 6990M.

I've heard the CM U3 is a great cooler in general but has anyone tried it with this particular model?

Also it would be good if I can buy it locally as I need it ASAP.

My overclocks wont hold in the Malaysian heat and it keeps shutting off when it reaches 105C. ( I get around 92C tops in Australia ).

Lost autopass card

ballsofsteel — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:19:18 +0800

Hey guys I just realized that I misplaced my autopass card for my car . I was wondering what the procedure was . Can I just go to the checkpoint and get a new one ?

It says on the Singaporean LTA website that I must make a police report is that really necessary ?

Thanks in advance

Boost your netbook performance with GMAbooster

ballsofsteel — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 20:41:34 +0800

Hey guys , I thought I would like to share a handy little program called GMAbooster

I was installing apps on a netbook for my Girlfriend and I decided to try the program before I handed it back.

Anyways, I didnt notice much difference though . I only ran 3dmark06 . The overall score difference was a mere 10 points , around 12.6%
From 78 to 88 3dmarks . This is 3dmark06 1.0.2 professional build in XP. The netbook used was one of those MSI Winds , not exactly sure which model. only had 3 hours to install apps.

Just thought I'd share the program . Feel free to get it

GMAbooster Page

I cant gurantee any real world performance gains though.

BTW i only did 3 3dmark loops of the netbook with and without the program and didnt have time to install any games to test. She was too eager to take her netbook home.
