Story of My Cars


1st Car
Saga Magma 1.5 Auto Aero-back Color:Maroon
Plate No. RB8138. Bought it end of 1995 from 2nd hand dealer in Perlis for RM3Xk.
Bought under my wife's name.
Not much problems- as I know.

All that I can remember:

For repair and maintenance
- changed drive shaft- done it at Klang, changed air cond fan - done it at Ipoh
For modification -
use split fire cable, change exhaust to bigger type, relay for head lamp, changed rim from 13" to 14"-JRD

Accident!

wife 'bang' the gate of
our house, then was in Ipoh :: changed the
whole driver's door for RM400++ (including paint) ::

Why sell it?
Paying for RM612 per month and since we were badly affected by the economic downturn
in 1999; my wife was given 'option' for voluntary retrenchment and caused family income to be reduced by half.
Sold it for RM23k in 1999 and the 'untung' of about RM3.6k was used to buy my second car.

2nd Car

Kancil EX Extra 660 Manual Colour: Pearl White Plate No. ADS3076. Price: RM18k. This car was registered under my name, so, it's my own car; for the very first time!

As for maintenance and repair - I would say no major one.

For modification - Using split fire cable and 2 head plug- but change to normal / OR cable and plug
back due to my mechanic advice so-
Changed instructor 880, Changed exhaust, Use air power, lowered - compress spring and than potong, put spoiler at rear, modified Iswara front bumper to suite with Kancil, cut the gear knob to shorten, lowered the steering position using longer screw.

Accident!

Driving into flooded area! Not really considered as accident, but the flood just around the corner and hey, suddenly we are 'in' it. Managed to pass through even though inside the car was flooded too. No engine problem but stereo system - badly damaged.

Why sell it?
Well, the Kancil served my family well, travelling up and down, to Perlis, to Ipoh, back to Shah Alam. May be it just the right time to find bigger space and I think I am ready (financially) for a bigger car.
