Car mat

Spitzer — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 18:27:23 +0800

Anyone got review of that trapo “ultimate”? Or any car mat u using?

From what I understand you’re paying an extra 200bucks for them to replace that plastic part into metal part? (Which technically should just be a rm10bucks replacement but anyway)

Any other reccomended car mats? Almost everyone i ask says trapo is just way overpriced ran by a group of idiots.

Don’t say magiee mee mat man, that’s so 10years ago story that just traps shit in your car…

Car prices & discount

Spitzer — Wed, 24 Aug 2022 13:35:27 +0800

Is it correct that if someone placed a booking on April, but the car manufacturer raise their price in August - the buyer would have to pay the revised, increased price?

Because kan nowadays all car waiting list 4-6 month, but is it true that the price YOU will be paying is dependent on when the car actually arrives?

Ie. Book april - car price cheaper but car arrive/register aug, but car price is almost 40k more expensive in august because car manufacturer revised it.

Wireless vacuum

Spitzer — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 22:29:14 +0800

Folks, anyone using dyson v11?

I’ve been using those cheapo wireless vacuum <500bucks, which does what it’s meant to so far, it sucks, easy to empty the dust, all the filter/bin parts are fully washable including the filter.

But recently cock itchy, saw dyson v11. So, is there any good reviews you guys can give?

My cheap wireless vacuum is on its 2nd year, basically vacuum ~2times per week (high traffic area more frequent ), and each full charge last 30mins or so, which is enough to do whole house, so I don’t need more runtime as the vacuum is always docked+charged.

Ps- changed from a wired vacuum to wireless, and i swear i will never go back to such inconvenience, slow, bulky machine which reduces my vacuum frequency (floor not as squeeky clean as a result)

Laser acne scar treatment

Spitzer — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 13:40:43 +0800

Is it painful? Laser treatment, not the derma abrasion type that scrap off the skin.

Mainly for acne scar, holes, enlarged pores etc

How long does the “effect” last? Permanent?
How much on avg does it cost? 1k or 3k per treatment?
Any clinic that you would reccomend?

Foodpanda/grab

Spitzer — Mon, 08 Feb 2021 01:22:59 +0800

At first i tot this old acquaintance is pulling my leg when he say since last May, he’s averaging 4-5k nett from doing food deliverys.

Then he actually shows his working app/history and damn, i’m shocked, indeed for the past 6+ months he’s consistently earning above 4k to 5.

And best part? He never changed his lifestyle, no buy civic, no latest iphone, no branded cloth, no fancy meals etc. Fkin respect, as compared to most idiots who spend 30-40% of salary just to support their civic.

Anyone else have foodpanda/grab friends earning the same? If lesser - why? Is it because lazy not doing it for 8-10hrs?

Spitzer — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 17:35:57 +0800

anyone can recommend any shops that does powdercoating services for small scale home DIY projects? (ie. not those industrial ones where only accept bulk/major job like new housing area gating etc)

Is a price range of rm150 a good price to pay for 3 small parts, 30x30cm~ for powdercoating service?

This is for hobby purposes and i'm not sure how much, where etc is a good deal... any help folks?

Bike NCD questions

Spitzer — Mon, 28 Dec 2020 17:01:05 +0800

folks - i've tried some online quotations and it still says my next bike NCD % is still at 15% only, what gives?

I thought a motorcycle max ncd discount is capped at 25%, and it increases yearly? If i'm not mistaken - this should already be my 3-4th year paying yearly insurance for my bike?

I only have one bike registered under my name at a time, so why it's still only 15%? It's kinda alot to insure a 170k vehicle that don't even clock up 5k KM yearly...

Maxis one share 128

Spitzer — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 13:54:55 +0800

i have been with maxis for >3years, and currently is on a 128 plan with one subline.

subline has a phone contract still attached to it.
mainline has no phone contract.

can i apply for zerolution phone under my mainline?

that 0% and cheaper price is really attractive, and i see no reason why i need to fork outright cash to buy the device.

question about mass gainer

Spitzer — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 23:50:47 +0800

folks, i accidentally ordered and now i got a 5kg pack of mass gainer instead of pure protein supplement.

problem is now i'm at the cutting phase, i need/want to be at a caloric deficit being a borderline fatass @ 19% bodyfat makes me really conscious. One serving of this weight gainer is 400calories, while i should be aiming for 1600cal per day to be on a deficit

BUT the protein content is good - 30g (i avg around 120-150g protein for muscle maintenance, and really hard to hit this # w/o supps), only downside is it comes with 400 calories, and it will be really hard for me to survive with just 1200 or 800 calorie per day from normal meals (ie.if take 1-2scoop per day)

question - will this mass gainer calorie of 400 translate into actual 400 calorie from natural food? ie will my bodyfat increase? I want to increase weight, but bodyfat% MUST be in the 15-16% range...

should i sell off this supplement?

Big retail shop for 2nd hand bikes?

Spitzer — Sun, 10 Sep 2017 21:37:26 +0800

anyone know big shops that have a good selection of 2nd hand bikes? Reliable/trusted shops?

Can anyone recommend any ~10k bike to be used for roughly 6 months?

Will i suffer a major lost if i sell a 2nd hand bike under a year?

I think i need to get a clutch & gear bike first before placing my order on a big bike that i like, expensive investment... so i want to make sure i really like the gear and clutch dealio with biking... i LOVED my scooter's freedom & santai ride fyi, but of course la, mau macho ma, mesti gatal upgrade big bike lo

Triumph 2017 and beyond, reviews?

Spitzer — Wed, 06 Sep 2017 22:40:16 +0800

Ok, so for the last 1 month or so i bought a scooter for fun, whatever crap model lah 11-12k like that, and now im already bored of that and will give it away to one of my long serving staff.

I'm planning to get a triumph street triple rs, anyone have reviews about the service center in Malaysia, KL area?

Some friends say this brand is "conti", so my first impression is "walaoweh volkswagen meh tiu".

How established/reliable is a triumph?

Service center ok? Macam volkswagen? Even tho i can pay for maintenance, I don't want to be treated like an idiot paying rm1-2k just to change some basic stuffs or motorbike maintenance , it's just insulting.

So far im aiming z900(52-55k) or street triple rs (65k right?)
Any malaysian care to give their first hand opinion between this 2 bikes?

wanted to get a 1st bike

Spitzer — Sun, 09 Jul 2017 01:40:19 +0800

i'm planning to get a bike, so i can use it for events, running event's mostly.

any suggestions of the most simple possible motorbike?

Budget is not really a concern, i'll take a wild stab that my watch alone could buy most bikes on the market already, but i really don't need to go any higher then required, i just require a very-rough-use transport for running events only.

ps- i know how to ride a basikal - so i think i can balance a motorbike, but never ride a motorbike before, so i'm worried those complicated manual gear bike is too hard for me.

suggestions? any website to browse through the catalog?

Will you get surat kuasa or...

Spitzer — Tue, 20 Jun 2017 00:36:26 +0800

serious question, if you are to choose between paying rm10k for the proper authority and power to 100% "lepas lepas" either speeding or limo tinting roadblock or whatever minor saman (excl. AES la) as long as your flash it to the police that block you, will you get it?

You other choice is you-know-what-la, "saman on the spot ok la bang" and the damage will most prob be <=rm50

Asking because my pain in the ass dad actually bought a extremely illegal pure darkness tint range rover sport - can't see ANYTHING even from front windshield, and drives like a fucking dick, park like a OKU, but wants to not be bothered by abang abang sekalian.

He said sometime roadblock pass, but sometime the police will very politely ask for saman on the spot, but if he always pay on the spot, i just want to minimise the risk of he kena tangkap by operasi rasu... u know-what-la.

ps- who else have better jalan PM me. excl. stupid emblem like BAR or DATO, those too risky for safety

Soft buzzing/white noise from speaker

Spitzer — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 22:57:55 +0800

guys, anyone know how to fix or what's the cause of this "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" sound coming from my speaker? It's not very noticeable la unless i actually tell you to notice it.

Basically even after i close my car audio also still got the "zzzzzzzzzz" sound.

The only way to remove that sound is, turn off radio & turn off the car engine, and then restart my engine again (so the radio never automatically on as soon as car starts - if that makes sense?)

The car is equipped with bose 9-speaker sound system.

where... how do i even start to troubleshoot...

Ford Focus RS

Spitzer — Wed, 02 Nov 2016 19:32:00 +0800

guys, anyone have any Malaysian info about the focus focus RS 2016 ?

Any pricing? and specs details? I'm guessing 270k-300k range, 300k being the fully decked out spec with 19", recaro, painted brembo and the likes.
Availability date?

I'm interested in getting this for my "fun" weekend/outing, drive like a fool car, 350hp is a shit ton for a hatch..., and plus point for it being at a rather affordable range, at least i won't be so disheartened when i do eventually crash it lol.

ps- this beats the hell out of a base spec audi tt. drove my friend's TT and it's just meh

Art of Time

Spitzer — Sat, 15 Oct 2016 02:07:37 +0800

Been few days i kept on receiving sms and e-mail about 2016's edition of art of time, then today when i see lowyat advertisement banner - damn again art of time.......

Is this a sign to get a new piece?

I'm really tempted to go there.. most probly i will be wearing my ln16610 50th sub anniversary.

Might pull the trigger if there's ym oysterflex since there is 0% installment plan just to ease the pain of parting with at least 90k on a single day lol

Anyone going? What watch are you aiming for?

Power steering

Spitzer — Tue, 20 Sep 2016 11:13:47 +0800

Do power steering fluid ever needs any top-up?

It's kind of strange that recently i have sent back my car to SC to check on heavier steering feel - found out that im low on power steering fluid...

I've asked around and some mentioned that power steering is a sealed system and it should never have its fluid drop below normal range unless leaking...

But the SC also can't find any leaking spot after the car has been there for 2 days. Previous months it was fine tho, but i never checked the fluid lv until bow, is this a problem or normal?

Ps- it's an e-power assist power steering system(yeaa double power)if it matters. Car brand don't matter, later ppl say show off pulak

Hid lights

Spitzer — Mon, 07 Sep 2015 21:58:45 +0800

Why is there so many cheap cars on the road installing hid bulbs with reflector headlights?!?!

Jeesus fak it looks so ugly, scattered, like a mobile pasar malam. Get a brain and learn that those bulbs are meant to be used with projector, not reflector!!!!

Ok to make my post relevent: anyone can recommend where i can change my stock 2014 e250 headlight to LED, or better yet laser projector headlights? Can't find any luxury car aftermarket shops in KL/bangsar area

It's all in a non-standard format, sizes, colours and fonts, she even changed the fking outlook mail background.

Seriously, I don't even know what to say, is it because it's a girl hence stupidity ensues or what, i haven't even told anyone yet, i want to see how her team handles this
