Happiest E Cab owner in Singapore, some say JB and some say Batam

[Guest karilaksa]

Pleased to say I have collected my ride yesterday(3rd May 2011) after 1 week of sleepless nights(some say getting older, some say not enough sex but I now know its due to the excitement of awaiting for this white beauty).

After 1 year of research(some may remember I was contemplating between low end Porsche and E cab and even at 1 point a Maserati, I have came to my senses and last week I manned up and went down to a recommended PI.

My actual intention then was to see actual car and have a feel of the ride, but something unexplained happened and I plonked down the booking fee within 5 minutes of negotiations (I have realized it’s a big big mistake then but the EXCEPTIONAL SE had helped me a lot and rectified the opts for me, which I am very very pleased to recommend her to anyone who intends to change ride)

Don’t intend to do much for this ride but the SE have poisoned me into changing the exhaust system and chip up to 250 bhp…..also looking forward for my Smart top’s arrival which I have ordered last week from ebay..

PS…my heart is still beating fast simply by thinking abt my car parked downstairs now…..lol

Congrats bro. You really quick with everything. Anyway did you manage to hear the exhaust note of the exhaust you changing to? Stock exhaust tend to be pretty stealth isnt it, and chances are it might not be LTA approved.

I tend to be like you with my previous rides, but end up getting sick of the rides after I have ran out of more poison. For my cab, I told myself to take it slow.. Lets see how long I can persevere... haha.. Anyway I am super envious... My ride should still on board some vessel floating in the seas...

a month and half after collecting my ride, i am still enjoying every drive in it..

A few things tat still needs to be rectified are

- bar for protecting the exhaust (after i changed to twin exhaust) keeps knocking softly whenever i go thru eneven roads

- the back windows dont auto wind up (havent got time read the manuals yet)

- air cond has to set at min 23 deg to feel any cold, my old japanese JDM ride always on 25 deg and it feels damn cold already.

- overly discussed but no solution is the external recirculation instead of internal, i simply turned on my a/c by pressing this button instead of pressing AC button to skip a step.

- no solution for kopi hanger that can be reached easily, hence i have resorted to a water bottle tat fits the cup holder with stray...

tats all for now..hope to update more after my next weekend long drive up to KL..cheers all

Your SmartTop shld hv the function for all windows auto up/down, check the settings

- air cond has to set at min 23 deg to feel any cold, my old japanese JDM ride always on 25 deg and it feels damn cold already. Mine is fine...Guess you're always 'Hot'...:becky:

thanks Desmond ,u are always very helpful. I just got back from Tioman for a 3d2n dive trip and it was good..Plenty of macro subjects to shoot...Hence could not join u guys for the event.

The auto wind up for back windows issue is when u manually operate it from driver side..Water bottle is compliment from my SE.

Cheers...will post a few pics from my diving trip somewhere in this forum to get u guys hooked again...:fish:
