Question about installing rear bicycle rack

kord — Thu, 28 Nov 2019 13:27:46 +0800

Dear guys, i just got this rear strap-on bike rack and this is the 1st time im using it. So, not really sure if i am installing it correctly. Ive researched on youtube and get the general idea on installing them, but since the one that i got (for free actually) did not have any brand name or model marked on it, i dont know where to start on finding the correct installation guide for that particular product. really need your help especially for those who owns/have used one of this/or have it installed on the same car (this is an old odyssey rb1 year 2004) to see if what im doing is right. I'm actually abit concerned about the part where the rack touches the rear glass, can the glass handle the pressure of the bike?

I tried loading the bike but cant really tell if there are pressure on the glass, or whether it it strong enough to be strap on like that. cant strap on the lower side of the bonet/boot since its too thick for the hook to hold (its a plastic bumper and might be flimsy and not strong enough to hold the hook too)..afraid of 2 things here: 1)if the glass cant handle the pressure, 2)if the rack itself can be held tight and in to place just like that.. all just diy install.. please advise.

thanks in advance for your help!

The battery itself would last a days' worth of trip for a single charge. ~400++ shots.

DIGI RM18/100MB Internet problem

kord — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:02:59 +0800

Guys, wud like to know if anyone using the same plan experience similar prob, if so, what u did?..
Here are the chronology of what happen to me..

14/2 (yesterday): Received SMS from digi offering internet usage for RM18 per month..
14/2: Attracted to the package, I activate it.. RM18 send to 2000..
14/2: Received SMS to notify me of my intention to change plan. Ask me to dial *128*1*3# to check if my plan has changed. Plan shud be changed within 2 days.
15/2 @11.18AM: Received SMS from 200 stating that my quota of 100MB has been used 75%. To continue, pls buy internet topup at myinternet.com.my
15/2 @11.19AM: Received SMS from digi saying that my plan has been changed (from default 1sen/kb to RM18)

15/2 @11.20AM: I was like, WTF? The quota been already used to 75% even before the plan change??!!

This is the 1st time i used my phone for internet using mobile data connection.. I used wifi mostly and NEVER EVER3x enabled data access prior to this. What happen ya? if thats the case, then it meant that i'm paying RM18 for only 25MB of data???

Btw, even until now, i still havent enable the mobile data from my phone. sked that something might happen if i do that.. Tomoro might need to shoot digi SC kaw2..
Btw, i'm using SE active.. android phone.

Anyone have any idea what happen? any experience?
Thanks in advance

BEWARE: FORD TX3-PCA3068

kord — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 23:09:24 +0800

Altho this happend few days ago, im still thiking of sharing this story to all so that we can all beware when/if u encounter this vehicle/driver since there are soo many cases such as this happening nowadays.. Beware all...

Location: Nearby UKM Commuter station, a road going to GMI (german malaysian institute, bangi)..

I was driving alone in my kancil after dropping my wife to work.. It was actually less than a kilometer away from my house, so i was driving normally. Then suddenly, this car (grey/bluish ford laser TX3- plate number PCA3068) was in front of my car, driving very2 slowly.. i looked at the meter, it was like 20-30kmh.. sooo slow.. Anyway, i just followed that car for 10-15 seconds so that maybe the driver will decide to go faster since i was behind..i didnt cucuk or anything, just leaving enuff 2-car space in front,. but then, he just keep going slower and slower like wanna stop.. so i decided to overtake his car.. i gave the turn signal, swerve to the right and just potong as usual.. not fast, but fast enuff to potong.. i was on 3rd gear when i overtake.. then, i shift to 4th gear, At that moment, i already past the front of his car and getting ready to get back on my lane.. But then, this guy acclerate his car and block me from getting into the lane.. I was, what the h3LL??!! I tried to go faster and try to get into the lane.. but he kept accelarating and block me until i finally understand that he's doing that bcos want to pick a fight (force me to drag race with his car)! I was blocked form getting on the other lane for 10-15 seconds when suddenly there was a motorcycle coming from my oppsite (in lane i was on).. I have no choice but have to slow down to get back in my lane, behind that jerk.. I gave him a long horn for that.. I almost hit that motorcycle in front! I floored and cucuk him after that, just close enuff to get his number plate.. He just went all out flooring thinking i was taking his challenge when he saw me cucuk his car.. After few seconds i cucuk him, long enuff to get his plate number, i just let him go.. Until at one point, he slowed down again, thinking of doing the same thing.. But i also slowed down until there was a junction where he make a turn and i was going straight back to my housing area..

Ok, i understand that i might have accidentaly provoked him since when i changed my gear, the bov sounded.. (i'm driving a kancil with a stock l5 turbo engine..).. But that nvr came across my mind.. Its normal for the bov to sounded when shifting!..and I was driving normally when that happend.. i was only doing about 40-50kmh to overtake him since i really dont wanna rush.. I really dont get it why there are such jerks around.. and i dont think that the driver is from around my housing area since i nvr saw that car again in my housing area after that.. besides, its a very remote housing area and most ppl who lived there, i might have known them..
anyway, i was glad nothing happend to both of us.. I do have a bad temper and was also thinkg of ramming the side of his car if i couldnt make it to my lane.., then again, that driver might be a robber of somebody since there are also few other ppl inside that car..and yes, its kinda remote area too.. but then, i remembered my wife.. yup..remember the loved ones.. so, my temper fades away.. but even until now i still under lookout for that car.. really like to see who's behind the wheel that almst made me killed/killed someone (the motorcyclist).. such an uncivilised idiot!

Boost lower than normal

kord — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:42:47 +0800

Hi guys,
I drove a kancil converted to L5 turbo engine. During idling to 1st and 2nd gear, i manage to get 0.8bar of boost (standard tuned).
But then after the 3rd gear and so-on, i can hear "windy" noise, kinda like aircond blower sound whne i floor the pedal and found out that the boost can only reach 0.5bar, sometimes even lower (vacuum) even tho i floor the pedal pretty hard. Then, throughout the whole journey, (even tho when im using 1&2nd gear), i still cannot reach standard boost unless i stop the car, turn off the engine and start again.. but then, as mentioned, i can only reach 0.8bar after the 1st and 2nd gear and then the cycle continues..

Anyone experienced this before? fyi, i'm using standard turbine (rhf3)..no modification done, just standard turbo engine, standard bov. I did search for info in the web regarding this and some says maybe its the actuator problem. Question is, how much it will cost shud i need to replace it?

Please help..

Need suggestion.. safest/toughest car

kord — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:42:10 +0800

Guys.. last week my wife involved in a terrible accident. fortunately she survived. She was driving hyundai getz and was rammed directly onto the driver's side (her side) by a fast moving naza ria mpv, leaving her with minor internal injuries and mild concussion and got warded for a week.. fortunately she was ok and recovered soon after.
so, i am now loking to get another car for her..but this time, safety first..i really need to get her a very safe car to drive, really dont want the same thing happen to her again.. meaning a car which can give high protection on the occupant inside, and at the other hand, not too pricey.. i was glad i bought getz for her.. that 4 out of 5 star NCAP rating was actually good for something.. however, i dont think i can afford to get another getz for her (besides, i really want to try other brands too..hehe.).. so i was thinkg to get a car which cost less, a used car, with a considerably good safety features, ez on fuel, and at a cost of less than RM35k.. any suggestion? i thank u for ur help in advance.
