JEEP Grand Cherokee SRT Wheel alignment



Took my Black Beast to my regular tyre shop for it's first 10,000km wheel alignment and balancing.  It was an exciting moment for me because it is the first time I can get a full view on the SRT foot works without the 20" Spider Monkey wheels.

6 pots BREMBO caliper up front.  And also the yellow BILSTEIN Adapative damper can be seen lurking behind!


4 pots BREMBO caliper at the back

My Jeep SRT Performance Page


Sorry for not posting much due to both hand been tight-up with works.  Today I am glad to post my performance data taken from my Jeep SRT Performance page.

As of now,  0-100km/hr is 4.7sec and 0-400m is 12.8sec. This car weight close to 3tonnes or 3000kg. LOL.  That is more then twice as heavy as my Boxster or Skyline!  That big V8 HEMI sure can pull some G's as well.  I managed to hit 1G on the test run.  It was tested on a dry, windy day.  Best of all I haven't put on any modification to this car yet!  This is bone stock performance!

Brunei JDM Meet At Stadium in 2004


These photos were taken 10 years ago at the Stadium.  How I miss the old days not worrying about anything when driving our JDM ride.  Time sure changed a lot.  Hardly see any of these rides in our road anymore.  Anyway enjoy the pictures.

Mercedes Benz CLA Edition 1 in Brunei


Caught this soon to be release CLA sun bathing while I was pitting in my Jeep SRT for some diagnonsis. This here is not just any CLA, it is the Edition 1 version.  The differences between this version and normal version is vast.  For the exterior, this version comes standard with more aggressive front and rear bumper.  It also comes with a set of nice black-painted wheels.  The interior comes with yellow-colored stripes front and rear leather/alcantara seats with matching yellow stitching all round the interior!  Hell, it even comes with a set of Edition 1carpets!

I really am digging this ride!  One of the most beautiful Mercedes ever built.  Edition 1 will be available for the first 12 months of its releases.  This particular version is now available in Brunei and can be yours for BND$78K!  Normal CLA will reach Brunei very soon and if you want to get one you will need to hurry because the waiting lists for this car is already booked till 2015!!!

Mercedes Benz GL-500 in Brunei


Went to Mercedes Benz showroom with my buddy recently as he is looking for a new ride.  I came across this, the GL500! This is a seven seaters SUV and cost $190k++.  This car is humongous if compared to my JEEP, nevertheless it is a good looking car.

Audi TT Coupe Special Edition In Brunei



This is a special edition Audi TT brought in by local Audi agent T.C.Y.  If I am not mistaken this one is fitted with S-Line Competition Package.  The package comes with full aero kit and a permanent spoiler fitted to the rear.  It's fitted with 19" sport wheels, all for the price of BND$86K!  To be frank,  I still heart the Audi TT.  Too bad it was up against a Porsche Boxster when we were deciding for our wedding car.  Hopefully in the future I might be able to get a used TT.



I took this video of  this cool car model display inside the Audi showroom!  I want~!

2014 Porsche 911(991) Turbo S is here in Brunei!



 Yes it is here!  One more unit is up for grab at the price of BND$380K++.  This is currently the fastest 911 to date from Porsche.  0-100km/hr in 2.9sec!!! This is a stunning looking car, although I still prefer the new 911 GT3.


Turbo S is the top spec of the bunch so lots of options are standard.  From the picture alone you can see the bright red interior contrasting from the exterior color



 I have to take a pic of the wheels because this is by far the most beautiful wheel, caliper, rotor and tires combo I ever took on a single pic!  The yellow caliper you looking at is called PCCB or Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brake.  These are standard on Turbo S but is available for other 911, Boxster and Cayman.  The price for these option if you must ask is equivalent to the price of a brand new Toyota Vios!  And check out the single wheel nut!  Its insanely nuts!  The wheels is wrapped with Pirelli P-Zero tires in 20" which cost BND$2K+ per tire!


Sigh... when will I ever get to own this beautiful car?

"392 HEMI" Badge on SRT Jeep


My first accessories for my SRT Jeep and certainly won't be my last.  My next purchases after this badge will be performances parts.  Will most likely be installing cold-air intake and exhaust systems. Will update more in the future!  Oh I took these pictures during Chinese New Year Eve's a few weeks ago.  Took a good 3 hours to wash this beast.  It was a good exercise and thankfully it did not rain during Chinese New Year!



Notice the new badge?  This is a genuine MOPAR parts that I imported from Canada.  The badge is meant for other SRT models such as Challenger and Charger.  Nevertheless it can apply to other SRTs since all SRTs share the same engine, except the SRT Viper.


Comes with different color but I chose the "Grey on Black" surface because I want the rear of my car to look subtle.  I only want the Jeep and SRT badges to be visible from afar.


Oh incase you didn't know "392" stands for "392 cubic inch" which also means 6.4 litre!  As for "HEMI", it is the trademark engine built by Chrysler which feature a hemispherical combustion chamber.  (I have no idea what that is.  All I know is it makes big horsepower LOL)
