Kancil 850 EZ, Satria 1.3 and Satria 1.6

Kai Sheng — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 14:36:10 +0800

Okay... I'm still a student of Institute Perguruan in Penang. As a present of getting into the institute... my father gave me a Kancil 850 EZ (automatic.. as the name EZ suggested).

My father has some great interest in car. He always goes to car's auction and sometimes... join in too. When he did... he will always sold the other car he have in our house. At that time my father gave the car he got from the auction to me which is the Kancil I mentioned above. After a few month... he decided to get another one.. this time manual. So after he managed to sell of the car.. he managed to get Kancil 850 EX... and gave it to me.

I noticed something about the fuel consumption on both car. Since I'm very-very new in this stuff... I don't really have any idea that automatic consumes more than manual. I usually end up paying RM50 to RM60 per week with the automatic Kancil. But only pay for fuel at around RM20 per week with my new manual Kancil.

Now out of a sudden... my father again decided to sell of the Kancil I'm using right now... and want to get Satria for me. The thing is... he wants to get 1.6 for me instead of 1.3. As far as I'm concern... 1.6 is definitely more fuel hunger than 1.3.. so I'll definitely in for financial problems when I use 1.6. But when I told my father that... he just simply says "You can survive with Kancil EZ... definitely you will survive with Satria 1.6 too because the fuel consumption of auto Kancil 850 EZ is just about the same as Satria 1.6."

Now my question... I'm find it really hard to believe that Kancil 850 EZ automatic is equal in terms of fuel consumption with Satria 1.6 manual. Can someone elaborate this to me?? Or maybe my father is indeed wrong or perhaps just want to justify his interest in 1.6 ...

If fc is not the same (which I believe it is)... I will really ask my father to get 1.3 instead of 1.6... I'll be dead if the fc for 1.6 is really high.. maybe eat sand everyday after that

Dual Boot

Kai Sheng — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 03:25:43 +0800

Hi all sifu here...

I want to install Windows Vista inside my PC.... but most people I asked told me to never install a fresh copy of Vista only inside my PC. Instead... install it and make it dual-boot where we can choose what OS to use when we boot our PC.

First question... how to install Windows Vista and make it dual-boot?? Currently I have three partition inside my PC. Do I need to install it in the other partition or the same one as Windows XP?

Second... is there any implication of having two OS at the same time inside the same PC?

Third... how do we remove the Vista after I don't want to use it anymore?

Thanks in advance sifus...
