How ah Beng can you be???

Malaysian likes to modify their car, but just how far would they go in modifying their car???
this trend begun way right after i was born i think...this is when our prime national car was produced, and also some hong kong movie influence...

But some of this modification are reasonable since the national car producer aren't so kind to malaysian citizen, they giving us cock stuff with abalone price...right after the warranty period or the clocked mileage , everything will go haywire...power windows, bearing, gearbox, central locking and etc.This minor minor things dun look down on them ok!!!they exist for a purpose therefore are quite useful therefore when it fails it will give u a terrible headache!!and time consuming to replace them at the authorize service center if u are going for a claim...

One morning i heard a suggestion broadcast over the radio saying that if he is able to invent something on a car, he will invent a automated billing system, so whenever a component in the car is not functioning the car producer will send the owner a cheque...cool eh!!!

but too bad, you think they will spend money in R&D in that??haha....they rather sell MV Agusta for one euro than doing that...

So once in a while u heard a fren of urs bought a new car.
Let's say is a myvi, so he is not happy with the handling of the initial rim provided, so the first thing he will do is to change to a better performance light weight sports 16" rim with low profile tyre...Then some ah beng that is not so rich will opt for 'skirting' on the car, let the vivi/wawa look more feminine...

The next thing that came across my mind is to change the air filter and ekzos, depending on your budget; is either u will be ah beng or better off ah ngau...
On top of that, stabilizer bar front and back , left and right side, bottom and top if applicable, the more the better, more stable ma...
those much better off guys will change to HID lamp, then tint their car kaw kaw...one layer not enough, make it two!!!

After a few weeks or month, they will change the ECU then suspension and brakes(some ah beng will just install the brembo brake COVER la...dun think i dunno okie, i was once ah beng too!!)

Then they will add turbo, intercooler, microcompressor, plus turbo meter or termometer on the dash board. Fuel atomization devices and so on...

So loaded bugger will just swapped in a different engine that fits the car...then add in super powerful woofer and a powerful amplifier, some might need to add a high capacity capacitor for the extra burst of boost else the engine might be dead for a second or two if the woofer taking in too much power then ur will see the HID blinking like ur DSL LED on your modem...

Then they will fit in a in-dash 7"-8" monitor for dvd or karaoke...perhaps a reverse camera for safety purpose...

Then they will fit in recaro sports seats...by now ah beng's car might be very fuel consuming or more or less the same...same goes to everyone okie???

when ur car ages, fuel consumption increases...this is a fact...with carbon deposition and metal fatigue, ur engine won't be performing that well anymore...

Spend so much money to modify a car might as well buy a better car right??wrong!!! Human are alway not satisfied with what they have, that is for most of the case...minority might still be sticking back to the basic.
A Ferrari owner will still modify his Ferrari, add in fuel saving devices that provides performance at the same time, because Ferrari is a beast!!it consumes more than u drink...

My fellow malaysians, modifying ur car is okay, but don't over do it okie???dun vrrooommmm vrroommmmm around the neighborhood can???

phank you...
