Aoi-chan's Quickie - 21/3/2009

It seems that me and Aoi-chan met quite a few other Savvys while tackling the task that i'm currently doing (see main blog). There's the Savvy-boy, SavIT, Idiotic Fundrive and a couple more owned by the SAVOC members. Is all well? I'd rather not stray to that topic...
Anyhow, on Aoi-chan, after that 60,000km maintenance and timing belts change she had developed some stupid whistling noise. Very apparent at idling and sometimes could be heard whilst moving at around 40-60km/h. It isn't that loud, nor is it irritating but when coupled with the stupid rattling sound of the gearknob... i just want it to stop.
Haven't been lucky in my quest for the racing clutch, and if that continues right up to 70,000km, i'll just have settle for the standard stuff. Boring really when you know that the car can handle that much more, but the kit isn't in existence to make it happen. Shoot

Aoi-chan's Quickie - 10/3/2009

At long last, the first phase of Aoi-chan's 60,000km service is done. Current bill so far; RM1064. Yikes!

But at the very least, the engine feels better and a bit more powerful (psychology effect perhaps?). But the clutch still feels like the weak link. Oh yeah, that and the shock absobers haven't been replaced yet. Based on a suggestion from a knowlegable person, i'm still looking around for a racing or better than original clutch sets. The shocks will be replaced at the same time as well.

Genting trips are still avoided, but for the better of the current situation.
Hope everything goes according to plan~~~
