This THING is HUGE! You can't imagine how big these rims are, coz there's nothing to compare it to. I was driving wife's kancil when I spotted this fella. The tyres are almost the height of the kancil.
While driving back from KL, spotted this Silver X20 coming out of TTDI traffic lights, turning towards LDP (D'sara Utama). He/She was driving kinda fast, but I don't blame him/her... as the roads were clear to utilize the 2.0 engine well:
No plate: BKK xxxx (sorry for poor quality, using nokia E63 without night mode)
I've self-poisoned myself (again) wanting to change the X20 grill and replace the headlights.
After hours of searching the internet for aftermarket headlights, like these Civic lights below, I've come to conclusion that there are no aftermarket headlights for the X20 at the moment:
My black car and gun-metal rims look so UGLY with the chrome grill and shiny silver headlights... :`(
I need a new grill (Incus or Roadruns) and SMOKED headlights: 1. M&S Grill, Eyelids, Smoked Headlights... *drool*
2. When it comes to the grill, I would prefer the Roadruns...
3. ...or the Incus over the M&S.
4. ANGEL eyes (taken from ManCanDo website)! Some calls it angle eyes.
The air con/cabin filters are recommended to be changed every 15,000 km. I bet most of you didn't know this, until Steven Chen brought this up in the THM forums.
Take a look at your glove compartment:
This is what happens when you don't change your cabin filters for 40,000 km. Bugs, leaves and dirt is trapped, and you and your passengers will be breathing the air.
What you will need: * cabin filters (buy HERE!) * (-) screwdriver * maybe a plier * adequate lighting (torch light if installing at night)
1. Remove everything from your glove compartment.
2. Remove Left Clip:
3. Remove Right Clip
4. Remove Glove Compartment Rubber band (a) Here it is
(b) You can't use your finger
(c) Use a screwdriver and gently remove the rubber band
5. The Glove Compartment is out
6. These are the cabin filters:
7. Remove the cabin filter cover using 2 thumbs, applying pressure downwards to remove the clips.
Cover out:
Cabin filters exposed. Only the right filter is visible.
8. Remove the Right filter by its "handle"
Pull the right filter "handle" towards you. There maybe some resistance (eg. stuck), but be gentle and try to "wiggle" out the filter.
If its really stuck, a long nose plier helps to get the job done.
Be careful not to pull too hard or risk breaking the handle.
Its out :)
The empty slot which the right filter came out of:
9. Remove the Left filter (a) Using the "handle", slide the left filter to the RIGHT.
(b) Make sure it goes all the way to the right:
(c) Pull it out gently...
By the "handle"...
Its out! :)
10. Replace with the new cabin filters: - The left cabin filter has a groove on the bottom right so you can differentiate them. Make sure the "handles" are FACING YOU when inserting the new filters.
Ensure that the left filter is pushed ALL THE WAY to the left, use a long screwdriver to make sure its snug in place.
11. Replace the right filter. - You may need to use a little force and wiggle the right filter back into the casing. - Make sure it sits back all the way in 12. Replace the Filter Cover
13. Hook up the Glove Compartment rubber band
14. Replace the Left and Right Clips
15 Test the Glove Compartment:
16. Test the air-con and feel good about the fresh air you're breathing! :)
This tutorial is dedicated to Steven Chen, who is my sifu.
I went for an interesting training organized by MDEC/Deloitte entitled Apollo 13. Sending my colleague home, I spotted this X20 near his house, in D'sara Jaya.
I was at the Shell petrol station in Section 17 the other day, waiting for my turn to pump some gas into my tyres. Using the pump was a young dude, with a silver vios. Now, the vios is a nice car. The original vios styling was superb, and topped the original honda city's design FLAT! But today the tables are turned (IMHO) Anyway, back to my story...
So this guy is taking his own sweet time to pump his tyres. I wasn't in a rush or anything, so I was just observing this fella going around his car. He finally finished and backed up, while I took his spot. But that chinese fella came out and asked me the funniest question...
"Actually... how to pump air for tyre one ah?" - LOL
I gave him some tips and told him the standard pressure is around 200 kPa or 29 psi. And then he asked me "how you know?"...
Anyway, check out the Toyota Vios ad here ->
I'm RM 2.09 away from getting my first payment via online advertising XD
And Walton's wife sent me a pic via e-mail: (Spotted) At the roundabout towards Sri KL School in Subang Jaya. It was terribly jammed up cos it rained just a little bit, and the drivers do not how to drive when it rains !!
