Aevoz Portable Car Wash

Recently i chanced upon this product online, which is said to help us folks who live in HDB areas, with no direct access to a hose-to-tap. I went down to ODM Innovations to purchase the product.... oh my, i din know singapore still has such lok kok place around.


Specs wise, sounds good, 18 litres, 120 PSI.. seems like a quite okay product. And for S$159. It still seems like a reasonable buy.

But after washing with it for the first time. I got a rude shock.... i ran out of water... washing halfway through... its seems that 18 litres is not enough to wash the entire car...

Although 120 PSI is not that strong, i did find that it did a better job on my rims than if i do a pail and bucket washing on them.

Overall I like this, only when i want to wash my rims. otherwise i dun want the hassle of filling this up and dragging this air-stewardess looking gadget to my car....

Sumatra (Starbucks)



The coffee is quite nutty, not acidic at all. Gives a wonderful earthy / herbal feel to the drink.




My Rating: 4 / 5

Angel Eyes

I just gotten a set of angel eyes headlamps for my civic FD1 from Mcwell Ventures.


Looks wise, its definitely different the traditional lights. Looks like the BMW's headlamps.

After using for awhile in a heavy rain, the lamps started to fogged. The fog disappeared after awhile though. Based on feedback from online forums, this is a due problem with the waterproofing of the headlamps. Bad experience with Mcwell though, I went back to complaint about it. They just brush me away to say that they do not cover fogging of lamps, but at least they offered to help me get rid of it, if it was persistent.

Damage: $380 (Headlamp Unit), $50 (Installation), $95 (Phillips White Blubs)

CTR Key Cover

One of the vainest thing i have. A Civic Type R, Red Honda back key cover.


Just unscrew your original back cover, then screw the new one on.

Damage: $40

Mugen Footrest & Pedal

I was abit vain so i went to hunt down a set of matching mugen footrest and pedals for my Civic FD.

The foot rest


The pedals in the box.

They were replicas so price wise was quite comfortable with them. But actually i find that the price I paid was quite high for replicas... Well i had vain-ness in mind, so i went ahead with it anyway.


After installing it, it looks like a matching set.


Falken 452

Been using the Falken ZE912 before i changed to the Falken 452, about 2 months back. I would say the ride is much quieter when comparing the both.


Also handling is much improved. Price wise is slightly more expensive than the ZE912, and the rotation cycle is much easier as it is no longer non-symmetric.

ZMC Security Cameras

I have installed a set of cameras and recording system for about 2 months now. Initially, all was good as it was recording my rides and also able to do recording while my vehicle is stationary.


But after 1 mth of usage, i got a flat battery just after 1 night of recording. It was the start of things going downhill for my battery. I drove about 80km to recharge my battery again. About a week later, when i started my engine after a night of parking, i sense that the ignition sounding retarded. Quite obvious my battery is going to be fully discharged again.

After that time, i took note to turn off all recording whenever i parked my vehicle overnight. And now my ignition sounds OK again. This really defeats the purpose of getting a surveillance unit for my car. Anyway at present i do not get much ppl scratching on my car, touchwood... But i think i may need to turn it on once, i start getting such cases.

Also, i gotten the jump-start battery booster, in case it happens again. So many things to do to mitigate against this.

Jumpstart Battery Booster

I just bought a product recently. It is an external battery booster to jumpstart my vehicle if the battery dies.


Basically all i need to do is charge it at home every 3 - 6 mth, if i do not use it.

The great thing is that this device comes with an air compressor, which will be able to save your flat tires too.
