Update
Well, it's been a while now hasn't it? July 29th since I last updated. Nothing interesting happened. A semester of school, me breaking my foot umm... yeah.. that's about it. Something that grinds my gears.. EMO FAGS!! GOD DAMN IT! I don't care if you're ALL SUICIDAL AND all that bullshit, you probably don't even have the guts to do it! NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR FAGGOTNESS! STOP DRESSING LIKE A GAY LOSER! DIE ALREADY! And that's my rant for the last while. -PHaNToM | | Friday, July 29th, 2005 | | 10:49 pm |
Alignment is done!
After long hours in traffic in Surrey, I finally made it there and back to get my wheels aligned and balanced. -1.3 degrees of camber in front, -1.8 degrees in the back. zero toe... :D the car handles so nicely, those merge lanes onto number 1 with that giant loop was great fun, I think I managed to kick out the rear end for a split second... All this fun and still averaging 20.5mpg.. -PHaNToM | | Wednesday, July 27th, 2005 | | 12:45 am |
It's Done!
Everything is installed! The suspension is a lot firmer, the shifts are a lot shorter and then body roll is reduced greatly. The transition from turn to turn is a lot more controlled now. Only thing left to do before the end of the week is an alignment job. My camber on the passenger side is completely messed up. It's almost at 0 degrees and toe seems to be pulling to the right too. Once those are done, I'll be good for a while :) Although the car seemed to have developed a rattle when de-accelerating with the AC on. Sounds like something related to the windshield. All the high frequency movements might have knocked the glass off its setting. Hopefully it'll go away by tomorrow. | | Sunday, July 24th, 2005 | | 10:17 pm |
Update
So two more days until my new shocks and sway bars are installed. -PHaNToM | | Tuesday, July 5th, 2005 | | 12:07 am |
It's been a while...
Well, yeah, I don't know when was the last time I updated but here is another one. I drove to Surrey today and got lost, as expected but I got my shaw modem exchanged and order Xtreme :D Other than that, I've decided to go with KYB AGX shocks on my car and getting KartBoy short shifter and bushings in it too. And if the price is right, I'll go with a front sway bar as well. Going to be a big upgrade this time and it should run be around almost 1.5k if not more but it's going to rock afterwards.

Update
Wow, I'm so worned out from today. I went skiing today for like 5 hours... and we hauled ass home, dropped Mona off and then I got home, ate dinner and went to kendo. There was so much ice on the mountain but it was great, it was a big insult and ownage exchange fest all the way up and down the mountain... but on the way back, we were pretty silent, we were so tired from skiing and trying not to scrape over rocks and ice. Haha.. Great practise today, I did get nailed really hard several times in the wrist but not as bad as last time... -PHaNToM | | Saturday, February 12th, 2005 | | 11:59 pm |
Update
Well, same old stuff.. I've started kendo again. Work, school, work out, kendo........... I've got bruises on my arm thanks to the stupid douche in kendo that thinks he's hot shit and smacks me as hard as he can in the wrong spot... I swear, the minute the sensei is not watching, he's getting a stick to the head....hard... -PHaNToM | | Tuesday, January 18th, 2005 | | 8:29 am |
Update
Well, it's been a while since I've updated my LJ. Mostly because of all the stuff that happened in the last little while. My gf broke up with me, my volvo got totalled and the kendo dojo closed down. I got a job finally, something my ex-gf would have loved me to get since she wanted me to be more grown up and responsible. Ironic how I got the job after we broke up. We did get a massage chair though, it works great however, I keep forgetting that I have one and never really got around to using it. School started off on an awkward start, classes began on the 5th and so far, there was only been two classes... the strike landed on my lecture day and as a result of the whining little bitches that can seem to get over that they are mere drones of a bigger system and they are worthless little fucks, I also missed my lab day. Strikes are the most retarded shit ever and it's even more retarded when they impede others from getting their work done. My theory. if you're not outside on the streets panhandling, you shouldn't complain about your job. Aside from that, I finally got the memory steer problem fixed and got my camber adjusted to neg. 1.4 on the front. It handles much better now and at least my steering wheel is centered. -PHaNToM | | Friday, November 19th, 2004 | | 9:07 pm |
New things
Adopted Cat which doesn't hate my dog Need for Speed Underground 2 for XBOX Half-Life 2 -PHaNToM | | Wednesday, November 17th, 2004 | | 7:46 pm |
I feel cold.
My heart is fading, breaths shallowing. The warmth of sun is but an illusion, all I feel is cold. Darkness projects my paths no matter how hard I try to find light. I can't remember the joys of a smile or the taste of sweets. Sensations are but a numbing thought. I can't feel pain or anything for that matter. I feel nothing; no emotions, no warmth; no tenderness. A night's sleep is a but a yawn in a day. I feel tired yet cannot stop. I feel poisoned. Something is devouring me, and I cannot fight back. I am losing it, a part of me. My humane, my heart. -PHaNToM | | Monday, October 18th, 2004 | | 1:06 am |
ow
Working on my abs now.. finally, yeah I got off my lazy ass and started to work out again. I figured maybe it'll increase my agility for those moments where I need to twist around my body really quick for the second charge. and man, it hurts.... bacht.... I must overcome this... I shall be unstoppable!! -PHaNToM | | Saturday, October 16th, 2004 | | 2:41 am |
Update
Well, Yin bought me my birthday gift today. A Tommy Hilfigers shirt, it's really nice.. She also found more wrinkles on my face. I can feel that I'm slowly deterioating an accelerated rate. But it's ok, my glorious youth will be more than enough to make up for my soon fading future. I will last an eternity! -PHaNToM | | Sunday, October 10th, 2004 | | 6:56 pm |
Update
My mom got her new car today. Mercedes-Benz ML350 Special Edition in Black Opel. Really quiet and smooth, makes the Volvo feel like a civic in comparison. For 5000lbs, the ML handles decently too. Just lacks in power. To get to 60mph, it takes 8.7seconds. You might as well not go at all. -PHaNToM | | Monday, September 6th, 2004 | | 11:22 pm |
Update
Interesting chain of events... A cat came to our house on Saturday. We played with it, let it inside and play for a while until it was time for it to leave, or so we thought. We had gone out to dinner and left it outside for 3 hours, thinking it was a neighborhood cat and would return to its owner. To much of our surprize, it sat outside our door, waiting for us to return. It was late night already so we let it stay with us for the night. It was well groomed and very clean. It is very thin, we gave it some food but it's very picky. Didn't eat any dog food, dog snacks or junk food. We didn't have anything else at the time so we gave it some plain rice. It ate a bit and slept. The next day, we let it out again, hoping it would find its owner, again it returns. We bought some cat food, a litter bin and some cat litter along with some flea spray just in case. It stayed another night with us. Today, we let it out one last time, this time as the final test to see if it can find its owner. We saw a van pull up and pick up the cat. We thought that's the owner but we were wrong. After 6 hours of releasing it, the cat returned to our front doors again. Keiko seems to be ok with the cat, just the cat seems a bit paranoid about the dog. They just need a little space and the size of our house seems big enough for both of them. I bought a punching bag today so my brother wouldn't need to be beat on as often now, and I also got a radar detector. Haven't really tested it out yet but hopefully it works well. We also got a new car, not me or my family persay but my cousin got another civic, a hatchback. it's a manual too, and I taught him how to drive it. It was interesting to say the least. He can drive around in it now but still not very smooth but decently enough to be able to drive around. We installed a new radio into it today because the one before didn't have a CD player. It's better than the one I have in my Subaru. Bah, oh well, not like I listen to music anyways. I'd rather hear the symphony of my Turbo-Charged Boxer Engine. And school starts tomorrow, This sucks. -PHaNToM | | Monday, August 30th, 2004 | | 6:39 pm |
Well well
After another road trip, I'm back again. This time, I went to Seattle to see the musuems and art galleries. Also went to the Science centre, which is better than Science World. -PHaNToM | | Saturday, August 21st, 2004 | | 12:10 am |
Update
I washed my car couple days ago, and dust is already settling on my car, arg! The stupid people are doing construction down the street so everyday I go out, I get my car a bit more dirty. I clay barred and waxed my car so the car feels so smooth. It shines in the sun. I'm preparing for my trip to Tofino with my girlfriend. It's going to be great, I can wake up and see her in my arms. I'd make breakfast for her so she can eat in bed. Though I will miss 5 days of kendo so I'll have to work extra hard when I get back or else that new guy will catch up to me and I shall lose my supreme reign over the dojo. I saw the Exorcist, that new one. It blew a toddler's ball sack. It wasn't even scary, it was shocking but never left any moments to be scared off. Just really loud noises and sudden exposures to ugly people. In a way, it is similar to Doom 3, really scary for the first bit and then it's just repetitive and boring. The CG was horribly done, you can see where they used it, and it really shows, none of the textures really blend into the background and the female character was ungodly hideous. Honestly, I've seen piles of cow excrement that looked better than her. If they were going to do a high budget film, at least use a cast that are a bit more easy on the eyes. I want to gouge out my eyes, not because I'm scared but that woman in the movie is just UGLY! Someone needs to hit her with an iron bat, repeatedly. In other news, it's me and Yin's 1 yr and 6 months tomorrow! Well, techniquecally, today, I bought her a golden dark pearl pendant with a white gold necklace. Didn't take any pictures, didn't have time but she loved it. -PHaNToM | | Wednesday, August 11th, 2004 | | 10:58 pm |
update
Father and I went to the automall today to take a look at some variety of cars. Mostly luxury sedans and estates. So I have done an interior quality build review. Remember, these are only interior build quality reviews, none of these cars have been test driven. Here are the cars reviewed: Lexus IS300 Lexus GS300 Lexus ES330 Lexus LS430 Mercedes-Benz E320 4Matic Estate Audi A4 1.8T Quattro Jaguar XJ Jaguar S-Type Jaguar X-Type First car, the Lexus IS300, it seems like a mixed bag. The exterior is nicely designed, very sleek and a nice dab of aggression. It is rear-wheel drive too which makes it even nicer. The driving position is good, nice visibility and the gauges look absolutely gorgeous. Now, if you don't look anywhere else other than the steering wheel and the gauges, you'll be fine but if you're like a normal person and you look elsewhere, oh dear. The materials used on the driver's side seem pretty good but once you look around the car's interior, it's like an accountant got to it. The plastics are absolutely appalling. It's the same plastics used to hold my garbage. The knobs move in a rough, clicky manner, like the knobs on a baby's toy with it's panel of various knobs and buttons to produce a noise. The flaps are hideous and the dashboard clunks with an empty sound as you knock on it lightly. The next car, Lexus ES330, this one seems much better. I'm not a fan of the exterior styling as it makes it look like a stretched mouse. The interior is much better though, this alone I think can re-deem itself from the styling. The leather is soft and very comfortable and the panels and various buttons are nicely placed in easy to reach areas. It is however, front-wheel drive I believe but, as a luxury sedan, this one is very good. The Lexus LS430, the most expensive car reviewed this time, costing $103k CDN, it does show. The seats are large and soft but not to the point of being like an American car. The interior is also very nicely decorated, not too busy which is good. Though I did feel blinded by the various technologies they tried to cramp into the car. Overall though, still a very good car for the range. One of the best ones today, the Mercedes-Benz E320 4Matic Estate, I absolutely love this car. At entrance, you are already greeted with one of the nicest interiors avalible. It's sedate enough so you are not flashed but not dull enough to be boring. The quality of the materials is top-notch. Even between the LS430 and the E-Class, they are in different leagues, the MB is miles ahead with it's precise dials and controls. Everything feels perfect and comfortable. It offers seats for 7 people or a bigger boot space. A nice balance between practically and style. The Audi A4 is slightly different. It's much cheaper. The dash, again, feels like the IS300. Rough and cheap. The buttons feel like they are about to break and the dashboard holding the buttons look like they are made with lego. Great car it may be under the bonnet but I don't like the interior. The next three are pretty similar, probably because, their interiors are very similar. The S-Type and XJ interiors look identical. It does look very elegant and the materials really show. However, the cluster of endless buttons all bunched in the cntre looks too busy for me. It took me a good 10 seconds to find where the emergency signal is, and there it was, hidden in the corner amongst the mass of buttons. The X-Type's interior was cheaper than the other two but that is expected as it is a cheaper car, built for the forbidden, the middle class. There you have it, an interior review of the cars. There were other cars reviewed but they were out of context for being luxury sedans. -PHaNToM | | Sunday, August 8th, 2004 | | 11:47 pm |
