So.... Finally my car has clocked 54000km mileage, which means that it needs to be sent for a servicing! Because my car is turbo-powered, it needs regular checkups to ensure that the engine oil, etc etc is running fine inside the car! really, it makes a whole big load of difference if you take care of your car properly. After servicing, when i drove the car, it felt a whole more responsive and the ride was a whole lot smoother! Back to the servicing, mine had a thousand and one problems that needed to be resolved.
1. Immensely huge tyres
2. Too much brake fluid (really.....)
3. Dirty engine oil
4. Manual turbo overwrite
5. Worn out air filter
What happened was that the mechanic that mum usually looks for to check her car have gone back to Malaysia. What happens is that my Copen car cannot be serviced at any ordinary repair shop as this car is rare (barely a hundred on SG roads) and its quite delicate, nicer word than fragile trololol. so we always visit this same repair shop. Now that the mechanic is gone, i too was apprehensive on going back to the repair workshop but we still went ahead. To our delight, we met the boss who was doing hands-on work on another copen car! He could only speak english and to our amazement, he is a Japanese!!! you know how awesome japanese actually modify their cars huh! and to actually have such a jap mechanic in SG, all the better, and one who specialises in copen, or the 'Kai' car they call it in japan, BEST BEST BEST. The copen is already a discontinued car, so there are very very few left!

Just look at that! THREE copens in this workshop alright!! Mine is the one that is elevated. So what do fellow copen owners meet do? chit chat and share tips and tricks about the car, as well as the parts as the parts are really hard to find! the Oldies car belong to the Jap boss. like just how swag is that?!?!?!

 This guy is like a total pro, advising us on what to do for the car parts, and which parts that needs to be changed, etc etc. He is also the one who highlighted the problems! it was amazing that when he opened the front hatch, he knew exactly what to do, the whole system wasn't alien to him at all! and with all those notebooks of his, testing the revving of the car, the amount of gas that goes into the turbo, hoho! like a pro man!

The most major concern at hand was the tyres: They were immensely oversized, to the limit that it actually becomes dangerous to drive! and all the while, i was speeding -.- not bad huh! Thank God that i am still alive! Technically, at the kind of speeds i am driving, the whole back wheels could have actually came out! Moreover, to make things worse, when changing tyres, we found extra spacers used at the wheels, causing the nuts of the wheel spokes to not be fully engaged. All the more why my wheels would have actually came off halfway if i was speeding!

 Strangely, the car had too much brake fluid poured into it, i actually saw the tank and it was bloody full -.- but nevermind! that's not really that important. What's more important is the manual overwrite for the turbo, sending extra amounts of gas into the turbo at times. This, according to the mechanic is pretty dangerous as it may cause the engine to blow, all the more because it is already turbo charged. Hence, i had it switched to the original configuration. Sheesh there's actually like a thousand things you can do to pimp your car, increase its performance and so, but the main factor is $kaching$. i guess as time goes by, as i find avenues for income, i would slowly change the parts inside, to let it perform better. Guess i will start with the turbo adjustments. in the mean time, i'm gonna educate myself more on car parts and how everything works! :)
