Panamera oh Panamera!

If you are alert on any news happening in Malaysia, you should noted one of the news headline on 12th October 2012 which a men drove away a RM900,000.00 Porsche Panamera from the show room like nobody business.

Related news can be seen in http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/10/12/nation/12163181&sec=nation , I'm just curious how a person can think that they can just drive away the car without getting caught by police someday later.

 






















There are more related stories in http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/10/22/nation/20121022145106&sec=nation which cops succesful to recover the car.

Anyway, do you ever think that the Porsche Panamera also have a Taxi look?

It had been going to be 2 years already since I first post about Nissan LEAF on 25th October 2010, (please find the link at http://kp-gasket.blogspot.com/2010/10/nissan-leaf-for-zero-emission.html )

And it only bring in to Malaysia as pilot programme by Tan Chong group and being exhibit in One Utama shopping mall during month of July 2012 if I'm not mistaken. And the info from the promoter, this may be only launch in Malaysia market in 2 more years, wow, than it will be 4 years pass from what I have the first post on it.

Of course we can't blame them for the slow launching as they will be a lot of backup infrastructure need to be ready first before it can be start selling, you of course don't want your car is out of battery and can't find any charging station for it isn't it?

But it is not about I want to share any technical specification on it in this post, I found this video in Nissan Malaysia official website and like to share it with you.

Daithatsu Atrai EF-SE Cylinder Head Gasket

Daihatsu 3 cylinders engine cylinder head gasket may looks alike when you compare with their starting alphabet on their engine code, like those in ED-series, EJ-series. But for EF-series it seem we can notice their differences very clearly.

BRZ and CRZ

Haha, just because Honda got CRZ, Subaru got BRZ, curiuos on why is they use quite a similar short name and actually what they stand for.

Ok, I just got it, simple google search found that CR-Z actually stand for  ‘Compact Renaissance Zero’, details on it just click on the wiki link below,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CR-Z

Toyota 86 is the model that lead me to the BRZ info, which Toyota and Subaru jointly manufacture the concept model of FT-86.

So what is BRZ stand for?  Since Subaru always famous with its boxer engine technologies, BRZ actually stand for Boxer engine, Rear-wheel drive and Z being the ultimate letter. Actually in some article also put the letter "Z" stand for Zenith.

When searching info for Subaru BRZ, I found one more related model for Subaru BRZ, which is Scion FR-S, I'm not very familliar with this model but you may browse the article at below link,

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2012/07/scion-frs-subaru-brz-price-discount-trim-rival-dealers-/1

The only thing that I want to write here is what the FR-S stand for. FR-S actually is stand for Front-engine, Rear-drive, Sport.

Oh! Yes, this is free for you!

In the midst of tidy up the store condition, and found this rocker cover gasket left at one corner for quite a period, this rocker cover gasket which carry OE part number as MD020715, which use on Mitsubishi 4G51, G52B, G53B and some G54B engine.

Model such as Astron 1.8, Galant Coupe 2.0, Celeste 2.0, Plymouth Arrow 2.0, Dodge Colt 2.0, Sigma 2.0 and those 2,555cc for G54B engine.

So why is it left over in my store room? Actually Malaysia market not carry this model originally, Malaysia model of Pajero Petrol 2.6 G54B engine is using the MD024682 type of rocker cover gasket, as such, this item is not relevant in Malaysia.

Initially I'm thinking of to throw it away to clear up my store space a bit, but I think it is rather wasting of resources and not so environment friendly either.

So I decided to give out this rocker cover gasket for free for those who really need it, I'm not sure in Malaysia really don't have this type of model or not? If it does really exist, just come and get it from me free of charge. Of course for those who need me to post it, you have to pay the postage charge by yourself.
