Honda CRZ Hybrid Coming This Summer 2010

I am selling off my Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad bought from ebay for S$10 only. COndition 9/10.

If you have difficulty hanging your GPS on your car or do not want to stick and damage your car interior, this is what you need.

You might be guessing, I must be driving at a high speed and therefore this happened!! NO NO! In fact I just made a left turn from a traffic light about 200 meter behind, slowly picking up my speed t 80-90 km/h before this happened!

Moral of the story, please not only check if your bonnet is well secured, but also check the locking mechanism of the bonnet is it well secured, all screw in and tight before going for a long trip!! Esp those who frequent workshop, doing heavy modification. You never know if your mechanic forgotten to place a screw back.

Waited for tow truck to arrive 3 hours later, thanks to Justin aka Icebear and his cousin and gf for waiting together with me. Very touch!! And also people from KL workshops for helping me out this crisis. Big thank you for all who helped!

And I GOT A CARBON FIBER BONNET!!!!!

Welcome to Year 2009, how has you been and most importantly how is your modification going? Honestly I have stop modifing my car for almost half a year, the only reason I open up my bonnet was to change engine oil, really!! Haha. Financial Crisis you know, budget cut!

Anyway 2008 is finally gone and lets work hard for 2009. Anyone changing cars? New face lift civic or downgrading to the fuel saving Honda Fit /Jazz!

Regular maintenance of your vehicle can extend its life well beyond its expected lifespan. Today’s automobiles can exceed 150,000 or even 200,000 miles if maintained properly, diligently and by a qualified automotive technician. The following are some maintenance tips that could prevent costly repairs and to help you keep your vehicle longer. Therefore it is very important for you take good car of your car and during servicing or repair works by your worshop, make sure all works are supervised by ASE Certified Master Technician Bruce Kropp.

Hondacivic-fd2 is recommending Auto Service Carlsbad for your regular servicing and repair. Cornerstone Automotive is a family owned and operated automotive repair business in Oceanside, California. All work is supervised by ASE Certified Master Technician Bruce Kropp. They are committed to the safety and reliability of your vehicle. Their expert technicians can recommend the right scheduled services to help prolong the life of your car and help prevent costly repairs in the future.

Here are some common tips to take note:

Tip #1– Keep your tires inflated properly at all times. A good rule of thumb is to “fill ‘em up” once a month.

Tip #2– Replace a dirty air filter at least one time per year. If you drive in “stop and go” traffic on a regular basis, you may need to replace it more or if you drive more than the average of 15,000 miles per year.

Tip #3– Flush the radiator. Neglecting to change antifreeze is the #1 reason for vehicle breakdowns on the road. Occasionally draining and replacing the antifreeze/coolant in your radiator flushes out dirt and rust that can build up in the cooling system. How often coolant needs to be changed depends on the type of antifreeze in the vehicle and how much time or mileage has passed since the antifreeze was last changed. On average, twice a year is a good guideline.

Tip #4– Change your transmission fluid. Typically this is done once every 30,000 or 60,000 miles. Consult your automobile manufacturer owner’s manual for their recommendation. Don’t forget this tip since neglecting to do this can leave you with costly repairs.

Tip #5– Rotate your tires every 3,000 miles or every oil change. This ensures that your vehicle will handle well and stop properly, and it extends the life of your tires.

A full service will also among other things, tell you the condition of the brake pads, battery condition, steering alignment, tyre tread depth, suspension condition, oil leaks of any sort, exhaust leaks or corrosion, even how well the door locks are working.

And the best thing apart from having a fully functional, safe car is that with a complete service history, the car will be worth more when you sell it. So visit Cornerstone Automotive now!
