The Bentley Bentayga finally made its appearance in the street of Brunei.  This is a very sinister looking car with contrasting red leather interior.  Possibly one of the most expensive SUV to landed in Brunei, exception for His Majesty even more bad ass Brabus 800.  :)

Project N.E.S II - Painted Center Console Pt.3

Finally done!!! Turns up way better then I thought.  What do you guys think?  This is also an option from Porsche catalogue.  You can have it painted silver or matching body color.  Price ranging from $1000~$1500.  I got mine painted for only BND$180.00.  The old center console problem is always an eyesore to look at every time I sat inside the car.   Now I can enjoy the newly painted console.  Lap Sing workshop did a phenomenal job with the color matching and paint job!  You guys should look for them when you have body panel to paint or repair. The workshop is also in the progress of transforming a Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi to Mitsubishi Evolution V!!! Yes I am talking about the full widebody with the AWD system. The workshop also handle super cars from my last few visit. Enjoy :)

Project N.E.S II - Painted Center Console Pt.2

Woohoo!  Just got all the parts finalised.  I will be sending this back to QAF Porsche to have it refitted.  The color are identical to my car as I found the color code from my order sheet few years ago when I ordered my car.

My Boxster S gearbox linkage parts also arrived recently and is already been replaced!  Will post more tomorrow!

Project N.E.S II - Painted Center Console Pt.1

Hi guys, here is a preview to my Porsche Boxster S newly painted center console! I got this painted at Lap Sing Workshop at Berakas.

New Car In Brunei - Porsche 718 Boxster S & Cayman S

Last month and this month alone I had posted about  12 articules about Porsche!!!  Sorry about that guys and YES this is another Porsche post. :) (And a few more before the start of December!)

While I was checking out the GT3RS last week, these two latest beauties was sitting quietly at the corner begging for my attentions.  The first thing I went and check about these cars were their prices!   These two rides are the "S" version will set you around BND$155K~BND$160K range.  Again depend on the options and how deep your wallet are.  These two was pretty much identical in prices.  The spec is pretty loaded as it comes with full leather interior, PDK and many more.  It's pretty cheap if you compare to what I paid last time and compare to the earlier 981 model. 

The car is no longer 6 cyclinders hence the cheaper price(less import tax!).  It is now a turbo-charged 2.5l 4 cylinder boxer engine.  Power come at 350hp for the S and 300hp for the non-S. 

Just me and the GT3RS

Today I dropped by at QAF Porsche again to pass them my Boxster S finished center console.  I was so excited when I saw the Lava Orange GT3RS proudly display at the showroom.  Immediately went and take my sweet time to admire this beautiful machine.  No crowd!  Just me and the machine!  So peaceful when you have the time to adore the design and beauty!

This car is pretty much spec up with all the possible options on the catalogue.  If you look at the top photo, the front wheel arch is higher then the rear that is because the Porsche Front Axle Lift system has been activated and raised the car by 30mm.  Those are useful when you traveling to places that has humps or steep road.  

Yes the logo is sticker to save weight! LOL

Very very sticky tires and also very very expensive too!

Car Spotting In Brunei - 2 Is Better Then 1!

We have here two beautiful Lava Orange Porsche 911 GT3RS getting ready for delivery to their new owners!  I have shown you this car when it was still wrapped with delivery cover back at Porsche Center.  

These two GT3RS although have the same color actually is a little bit different.  If you look at the one at the front it has yellow caliper whereas the one behind has the standard red caliper.  What is the difference you ask apart from color? Well, the one with yellow caliper is the optioned Porsche Ceramic Carbon Brake (PCCB).  It cost a whopping USD9300 or BND13,000 in the USA.  Not sure about the price thou in from Porsche Brunei.

The other differences between these two are the elimination of the Roll cage option on the GT3RS with the red caliper.  The GT3RS come standard with rollcage but Porsche can have that remove for you free of charge.

Regardless of what spec these two are still bonker track cars to ever landed in Brunei!  Hope to get to sit in one of this in the future!

Future pro-photographers in action!

Porsche Boxster S Center Console Refurbished!

While my Porsche is awaiting for its part to arrive I took away the center console from Porsche dealer to have it properly refurbished.  As you can see from these pictures, the center console is in very bad shape.  Tons of scratches from wear and tear.  The center console material is made of some kind of smooth rubbery feel material.  It's a common material in most German cars but problem is these kind of material doesn't fare very well in Brunei weather.  

The center console is now with my regular paint workshop.  It will take a few days for them to refurbish these parts.  I am so excited for it to be done!  Watch this space!

MINI Countryman S Tyres Replacement

Just brought my little MINI to have its rear tyres replaced.  Again I will be using back Artenzo tyres.  So far they are doing pretty well for such a price.  I am currently using 225/45 18" and cost BND$80.00 per tyre.  I also got the car wheel align for only BND$10.00!  Have to be the cheapest wheel alignment in town. I highly recommended to anyone looking for a good and budget tyres.  You guys can check it out at S&L Tyres at Berakas.

Oh yes!  The Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SV is finally here!  This raging bull had been spotted strolling at Jalan Batu Satu recently! This car has a V12 engine that produced 750hp mated with the fastest automated gearbox in the world! It kick in 0-100km/hr in 2.8sec and top out speed at well over 350km/hr!  Not sure if there is a road in Brunei where we can reach that speed! LOL! In case you didn't know "SV" stands for "Super Veloce" which translated to "Super Fast".
