World of change

World of change

Yes, its been while...

I am no longer tuning cars for Sam. Finally... hahaha... I know many people including workshops have been waiting for this day for a long time. It is difficult to some extent to sum up a long story into a short narrative text and to keep things simple, you no longer have to depend on Sam being the only soul in this hellish road raged world, to attend to your needs if you require my services.

For a while now, in fact, for the last 6 months for the matter, Sam have been tuning car himself and in fact, I wouldnt even know you or had seen your car before if you have had your car been tuned by me during this period. Beside those who knows me personally, and have specifically requested for my services, I'm guessing, and hope that you understand that in the world of business, people does change and in business sense, it may be more viable to do away with additional expenses and earn that extra few cents if possible.

With all due respect, this business sense thing is crap to me. I still wanna retain that transparency and honesty I have carried with me all these years and will continue to provide that level of credibity.

In the market, as some you already know, exists workshops with exquisite skillset and attitude. Being able to speak freely, BMS, BKS are experts on subarus and their after sales services is beyond doubt. Man exhaust have been around for ages and being the first workshop to install a turbo kit for a NA car, this fact itself speaks volume. GTR technology are professionally known to build that fastest rotary engines and apex seals and the know-hows of maintaining or modifying a rotary engine, they are second to none. GTR is also a no-frills workshop who does customization to the customer's budget. I mean, if you're real tight on a budget and just wanna get thing up and running on a low-cost itenary, they would be your Value-Air of today.

As you already know, there exists also a community of tuners enough to populate an entire pulau ubin and have kids enough to run a community center, and it is also worth noting that tuner themselves also have their preferred workshop to perform a preferred task. Like for example, BKS rebuilds a WRX engine in 4 days, and installs a new 2.5L engine in 1 day. Man exhaust builds custom turbo kits in 2 days. Yes, it is that fast. And appointment basis only. It is also re-assuring that you get the attention you need once your car is there and have an assured delivery.

I saying that in the realm of car modifications, there are a plenty of options and it is thus important that someone, with a non-bias and non-business oriented approach explains to you whats important and where to do the stuff. It is also important that that someone exercise his clout to get the best possible deal on your behalf and not have any strings attached to the package.

No worries, I'll now hang out at Ah boy's shop at #05-13/14. I'll erect my own signage asap. Thats gonna be a ego thing for me of course, and fark the private parties thingy, let have it in my own workshop. Yes, my very own one.... :)

This article is meant to remember Ah boy's encouragement and his efforts to pull me out to take a damn good look around. His constant reminder that I have to continue tuning cars with that unwavering honesty, non-business approach to people. I remember those who wonder why I tune cars for sam while there is a world of opportuniny out there. I can now freely tune a car that is reliable and place cap on car to keep them running healthy and happy.

People hate it when I cap a car's horsepower. hahaha... it is like sex, you wanna bang it hard and fast, but, you wanna also slow down sometimes... you know, pre-ejeculation aint gonna make her smile alot. kakakaka.... if you kept on banging for an hour, you get blisters. Soap aint gonna help bro. Soap only makes it smoother but, those blisters are still gonna appear.

Stay tuned... I have a half-cut TS coming along the way. HV racing does the setup for a cool 4000 RM !! Yeah, damn cheap. The car has been running for 2 years now, and owner have saved enough molla now for a professional tune up session. Price wise, cheap cheap bang bang, I'll leave enough for him for a couple of woohaa, thats for sure...

meanwhile,keep smiling and drive safe.

ps: JX, thanks for asking me to update my blog for the 10th time now... cheers!!
