Modded Cars: Honda

Purple Honda Accord
A milky-purple Honda Accord.

V-Tec Inside
Honda Civic with V-Tec Inside.

Yellow Honda Civic
This is one of my favorite cars of the show. I liked the bright yellow color and the red flame emblem.

Automated boot with sub-woofers in it
Liked every part of its back. From the automated boot cover to its sub-woofers and the box that contained them.


Malaysian Police Defaming the Nation

Where is this? A S&M house?
Chinese nationals ordered to do ear-squats by a Malaysian policewoman

No, this is a lockup in a Malaysian district police headquarter. I’ve never thought that this would happen in a so-called “friendly” country like this. Happen it did, to the extreme. I’m not sure about you but I think this had crossed the line, by miles.

Modded Cars Series: Perodua Kancil and Kelisa | Proton | Honda | Winners of the Show

This is the second in a series of four Modded Cars post, featuring modded cars in the 2005 Miri Car Show.

Modded Cars: Protons

Satria GTi and Yellow Iswara
This is the only Satria GTi in the show. I reckon that the GTi’s looks good in their defaults with the metallic linings along its side panels. Extra mods to them make them look bad. The yellow modded-Iswara looks nice though with its macho bumpers and spoiler.

Mitsubishi Waja
Mitsubishi-wannabe Waja with look-trough window on its hood. Lightly modded engine parts.

Chameleon skinned Waja
Another chameleon skinned car. This one’s a metallic purplish Proton Waja.

Dalmation skin in the boot
Looks pale from the outside, bare white with sponsor’s emblem on the doors. But take a look in its butt! Amplifiers, sub-woofers, speakers and tweeters, all set under a dalmation-style fur coat.

Dragon Ball Perdana
A pink Proton Perdana with its hood air-brushed with characters from the Dragon Balls. Must be a Japanese anime fan the owner.

Purple Perdana and White Israwa
Chameleon skinned Perdana, this one has less dramatic colors than the Waja chameleon. The Iswara on the right looks empty from the outside, but look at the next picture.

They hit a zebra in the car!
They hid a zebra in their car!

Black Perdana
This black Proton Perdana/Wira (looks like a Perdana from the front, a Wira from the back. But certainly a Wira.) is one of the least zhng-ed car in the show. The noticeable changes being the change in the front and rear logo to Mitsubishi’s, and they also honey-combed their rear breaklights. Rarest form of mod I’ve ever seen.

Blue Wira
Blue Wira with noticeable mods to its hood and front bumper, and with all the auto-related emblems over its body. Car coatings by Kansai paint. I thought it was Kanasai when I first looked at the emblem.


Issues with my Web Host

26

November

For those of you who frequent my blog, you would have noticed that it was down for the whole day of yesterday. My webhost is currently in the process of migrating all their servers to the new Equinix IBX datacenter, and the server than I’m on are scheduled to be migrated on the 23rd this month.

They stated that during the process of migrating, it should be smooth and we’ll not experience downtime. But sometimes, shit happens you know. My databases were all gone, missing. That’s all my work in a year, man. My last db backup was months before.

So, I submitted a ticket to their support system hoping to recover them. I got a reply with “I’ll forward this to the admins who will assist you further with this issue”. And then, it was all silent. Until this morning, I’ve got a reply from the admin saying that the matter will be resolved within an hour or so. The mail was sent out to me a few hours before and I expect the problems to be solved, and yet, I’m not seeing my databases. I’m so pissed off at their support that I went to their website and click on that ‘Live Sales Chat’ link. Who cares if they’re the salespeople? I want my blog to be back on.

This is how the conversation goes…
