Greddy Emanage Ultimate Error

As I was driving on Saturday, i noticed my EMU giving a red flash. And I did a check on the manual and found that I have warning messages.

Got in touch with Jameson, who had the software to extract the logs. He got the above out for me.

He did a preliminary diagnosis for me, I have 2 problems:

• VTEC should not be managed under Greddy
• Connection could be loose

Does not seem like serious problems so i guess I wont fix it yet.

1st Week

After watching my food intake and combine with cardio (running) and strength training.

This is my results in terms of weight for the first week.

Cafe Estima (Starbucks)

My Rating: 3 / 5

Aibi Weight Bench

Just committed myself a B-1001 Heavy Duty Premier Weight Bench.

It looks so much more stable with the over sized tubings supports. The weight bar safety hooks can be used to secure the bar when changing the weight plates, so that it does not topple. The cushion is much thicker than the one i got before.

Allows for squats, leg/hamstring curls, presses and situps.

If i go for the optional items, I can even do Lat Pulls and Preacher curls. These items and the leg extension component stores away nicely on the back. Looking forward to getting them, when the stock comes in.

Specifications

• Optional B-1002 Lat Pull
• Optional B-1003 Arm Curl
• Heavy Duty Oversized Tubing
• Seat Adjustable (0°, 10°, 20°)
• Backrest Angle (-10° to +70°)
• Compact Storage
• Non-Pinch Weight Crutches
• Weight Bar Safety Hooks
• Heavy Duty Foam Roll Pads
• High Density Foam Pads

Favourite Car of the Moment (Nissan Fairlady 370Z)

A little something i captured during the formula one drift in Singapore.

Singapore License No Generator

I written a license number checksum generator, just input the chunk of the licence number as the first argument, then generate:

public class LicenceGenerator {
/**
* @Licence number
*/

public static void main(String[] args) {
   String in = args[0] +"";
   System.out.println("License Number: " + args[0] + generateChecksum(in));
}

private static String generateChecksum(String input){
   /*Logic:
   * The checksum letter is calculated by converting the letters into a number,
   * i.e. where A=1 and Z=26, giving 7 individual numbers from each registration plate.
   * SBA 1234 would therefore give 19, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
   * Each individual number is then multiplied by 7 fixed numbers.
   * These are added up, then divided by 19.
   * The remainder corresponds to one of the 19 letters used (A B C D E G H J K L M P R S T U X Y Z).
   * In the case of SBA 1234, the final letter should be a T.
   */


   char[] charvalarr = input.toUpperCase().toCharArray();
   int totalSum = 0;

   for(int i=1; i< charvalarr.length; i++){
      int charval = charvalarr[i]-64;

      if (charval < 0){
         charval = Integer.parseInt(charvalarr[i]+"");
      }

      charval = charval * constarr[i];
      totalSum += charval;
   }

   int finalchecksumVal = totalSum%19;
   return checksum[finalchecksumVal] +"";

}

   static final char[] checksum = {'A','Z','Y','X','U','T','S','R','P','M','L','K','J','H','G','E','D','C','B'};
   static final int[] constarr= {0,9,4,5,4,3,2};

}

Zaino Z-6, Z-7 & Z-8

After seeing the wonderful results i am getting from first auto. My confidence in the Zaino products are boosted a whole damn lot. Anyway, because i recently do my own regular washing of my cars, i went to purchase the zaino products to keep my shine there in between my monthly polishing trips to first auto detail centre.

Step 1: Washing with Z-7

The Z-7 is actually a car wash. It is supposed to be able to remove all except your Zaino layers. I think they may have over sold its effectiveness in removing stains. After the wash, i still have some stains on the car. Despite this, it gives a nice shine after washing with the Z-7. This gives alot of foam compared to my previous brand of car shampoo. Making the car washing a little more fun ;P

Step 2: cover with a layer of Z-6

Z-6 is meant to be a Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray, it enhances the polish shine after the wash.

Those stains that cannot be gotten rid of on the Z-7, is easily removed with a layer of this wonder spray.

Step 3: Seal with a layer of Z-8

The Z-8, i.e. a grand finale spray seal, is really expensive at S$40++, but its all worth it when you see the results of the Z-8 over your car. Makes the job look and feel shinier, deeper, glossier and slicker. After a layer of this, the rain that falls on your car will just bead and roll over the surface, making washing less necessary and easier on the next time.

Overall, the products are damn superb. But i got a feeling it makes me nauseous after breathing in a whole bunch of it. Could be dangerous?! Maybe i should wear a face mask. =D

Can get the products from:
