At last, a new post after years of silence! It’s been busy months/years, with lot’s of time wisely spent in nature doing activities I love (MTB, Snowboarding) đ But thanks to COVID, I suddenly found myself with plenty of spare time locked at home. So I took the opportunity to recover this forgotten page (migration […]
My original H4 Bi-Xenon kit back in 2006 was great! It was plenty powerful and the light cut off was decent using the stock reflector, making it possible to aim the lights a bit higher, and get better road visibility. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case with the next set of H4 bulbs I purchased, after […]
A couple of years ago, driver’s side rear view mirror, started giving me trouble. When I was trying to close/open the mirrors, it was very loud and wasn’t moving smoothly. Several days later, the mechanism totally failed, causing the mirror to indefinitely trying to open/close with loud noise. Back then I thought it was just […]
Even before purchasing my Glanza, I had already started looking for a turbo timer. This is a MUST item for every turbo-charged vehicle (if you want your turbo to live longer). Most of the turbo times I came across, had a similar look. Several buttons, a display and a big-ish box. After some research, I […]
I’ve been using my CarPC without any particular problems for a couple of years now, but eventually I decided to go for an upgrade. The main reason which led me into this decision, are the occasional slow downs, when simultaneously using GPS navigation and playing multimedia files, due to the slow 1GHz VIA C3 […]
I’ve always considered my foglights to be one of the least useful parts of my car… as whenever I was in a situation where I needed that extra light, the 35W H3C halogen bulbs failed me. The underpowered halogen bulbs were unable light my way. Also, in foggy situations, my Xenon headlights are not of […]
Some mods I might consider/attempt in the near future are: a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) a 6-speed gearbox (from a Corolla G6)…if I ever find one! a 55W HID foglights kit (Installed – 29/08/2008) a front spoiler lip (already purchased) (Abandoned – Lip won’t fit correctly đ ) Aluminium door sills (already purchased) (Installed – […]
I’ve been driving around Protaras yesterday and since my CarPC is being in the process of upgrade, I found my phone’s GPS navigation pretty handy a couple of times. It successfully guided through shortcuts, on my way home, beating Protaras’ awful afternoon traffic. Unfortunately my Glanza, unlike my dad’s 2006 Toyota Yaris RS, has very […]
