For those who don't already know, last week was one of the worst week i've ever had. As mentioned in the last post, my car died and i short the car by connecting the jumper leads the wront way round and blew the main fuse. Had to get a new one fr Subaru for $20. Cheeky people! Standard fuses are up to 100Amps but Subaru had to use 120Amps...so instead of $8 for normal ones, i had to get the overpriced 120Amp fuse fr them! Money suckers!
So...i've found the problem behind the car failing. Its the bloody Optima battery that is playing up. Bought it in August last year and now...its DEAD!!!! 16months only WTF!.... Lost my receipt and so i couldn't claim warranty. The distributor of Optima wasn't very helpful too. What a jerk! So now i'm using a cheapskate battery from AUtobarn ($60!!!!)....SiXtY bucks for a battery!! can u believe it??muahahaha
Will be ordering another brand of deep cycle battery --> BatCap 2000 from the US soon! oh yeh babeh!
This is actually a better battery as it gives 2000CCA instead of the 450CCA for the Optima Yellow Top D51!
Will see how it goes....money AGAIN! eff!!!!
1 Problem solved but this was scaring me...Thought was the alternator problem...which is like $1600bucks new from Subaru...geezussss.....kill me if it was man!
Went to You Yangs bike track with Phillip and his colleague Juls.
Took us quite awhile to get to the start of the track as me and Phil had no idea where it was...but it was worth the time coz....that track...TRACK NO. 13....is AWESOME!!! Its a semi downhill track with big drops and jumps. Just awesome.....so awesome until.....Jules (pictured below) crashed!!! with a loud bang!
Check out his left side forehead!
Also check out the damage to his helmet. And this is no KMart helmet. So kids! ALWAYS put on your helmet. U never know when u need it!
And u thought that was the worst? NO!....when we finally got back to our cars, Juls's car brokedown! Talk about bad luck/day......what more can go worse than this? So we stayed on with him for another hour for him to call RACV and arrange for them to come.
ARGHHH.....In short, way too much happened last week. Might not sound as bad in this post coz i haven't mentioned everything....but these were the major ones. .. hmmm..anyways...i hope this is all the past now and will look forward for better days! Will be cleaning up the bicycle this week and get it ready for Lysterfield Park this weekend! woohoo~~
The Aftermath of 15kms offroad driving in You Yangs National Park:
What else?.....Oh yes...installed reverse sensors for Marvin
Measuring up a straight line along the bumper (Height measured from ground up)
Marking the horizontal spacing along the line
Drilling in the hole with the hole saw provided...this was the fun part!
All four holes drilled! :) Spacing looks equal to...THANK GAWD!
Found a groumet hole between bumper and chasis to put wires thru. This took the longest time but i did not take any pictures. oooops... Picture above shows all sensors put in place
One of the sensor stud
Display unit was wired thru the sides and up the dashboard
MAGIC!
Total work time was close to 2 hours. Spend a good hour trying to squeeze the wires from the sensors into the tyre well area. :D i rate this install (8/10). Very happy with it muahahahah. Special thanks to Pei Ryn for helping out :)
Ok times up....shall update again soon~...Take care people!
It's not like I've helped much :) But damn fun to drill right? Hahaha.. Well hopefully all the bad aura will be gone since we've gone to the temple and pray..
