Aoi-chan's Quickie - 24/12/2008

Went to wash Aoi-chan on Monday to strip her of the mess due to the trip on last weekend. The guy at the car-wash centre suggested that Aoi-chan be given a polish treatment to maintain her colour (he said it's due time; she's 2++ years old already). Considering to do so there tomorrow since it's a holiday and at RM180 for the treatment, quite reasonably priced (they're using Meguiars' brand of products, which is good). On a side note, they've been doing a hell of a good job with the wash everytime, so i trust them caring for Aoi-chan.

Also considering to sell off her current rims for 14" ones. Why? Gotta admit that i'm beginning to dislike the NCT5 standard tyres. It's good for normal use, but it's a bit off if you push the envelope too much. There are some good performance tyres on the market, but to be able to use them, i need to swap to the smaller rims; common sizes for the 15" are 185 or 195/50/15. That's over Aoi-chan's limit of 175 already. Although the 14" are 165/55/14, it's only 1cm less in width, but a lot more fun due to the higher limit of adhesion, hopefully...
