Great White's old clothes...

Hi Folks.

The past 3 days have been a joy to me, watching my Barney-mobile, formerly owned by Barney himself (see below) transform as it dresses up in Great White's hand-me-downs. Barney-mobile is wearing Great White's Mtech bodykit and seats (front and back). In a way, Great White Number One's spirit lives on in my car and a few other people's cars.

Spending 2 and a half days at BVO have been somewhat tiring but very rewarding. I met many nice people from this very forum (thanks for the coke Azrielsc!), bumped into a long lost friend (TobyNik), whom which I've gone through secondary school and the army with, gotten to know that Young Master David is from Kedah (which is further than Penang) and Yoda Wee, who has the skills and work attitude that would ensure success for any workshop fortunate enough to have him.

Here is a picture summary of the whole process. Hopefully, it'll be of some use for someone.



DAY 1



The Great White Looking neglected and naked, but still wearing nice shoes

One great white looking at another, reminiscing old times

bmwf1 was there getting Great White's ARBs installed. Here's a comparison between the stock front ARB and UUC's front ARB.

DAY 2




Art professor showing me how to do it with a cigarette in the mouth

Wiring up PDC (took the whole day)

Still at it after 6 hours

Bootlip Spoiler on (damn, forgot to blur out my plate, ah well...)

Important lessons for day 2:

1) Cars that come from the factory with PDC installed cannot have their PDC wiring harnesses removed, hence a new harness has to be bought (S$241.50).

2) Eng Soon sells them as a whole PDC kit but if you want just the harness, you have to order and wait, unless you use your charms to convince the Eng Soon lady that you really need it immediately or it'll be a life or death situation. Then she'll rip out the harness from the PDC kit and sell it to you separately.

3) There are apparently THREE versions of PDC, so you must get the right harness to match your PDC module. No problem if you buy them as a set.

4) PDC module has to be coded before it's functional. Wasted hours trying to figure out how come "boh siah" (no sound) despite OBD saying that it's working.

5) Cigarette in mouth makes for better looking number plates.

DAY 3



Great White makes it's presence felt in Barney-mobile by peeking out

Unfortunately, it doesn't belong. Another great art tip: big ears and dirty nails are necessary.

After all the hard work put in and hard-earned money put out, the result:

Hi Bro,

Looking good and modding fast!!
Was nice meeting you and glad all is well now.
Can finally sleep peacefully...
 
Re: Great White's old clothes...

Hi B_73_M. It was great to meet you. Too bad you didn't get to do your things even after turning up 2 days in a row.

Mockngbrd, the word "great" just doesn't go with the word "purple". It's also an overstatement considering there is zero go in the car.

I think "barney-mobile" is certainly more apt. Nice and friendly!
 
Re: Great White's old clothes...

Bro!!

U dam good man!!!! Thanks for the pictures man.......makes my eyes tear alittle......

So happi to see your car 'growing' up & so sad to see mine going.......sigh......

Re: Great White's old clothes...

Man CBS great job. You see I really like how you take the time in the process of your MOD. Yo BARNEY is in town and gonna spread the LOVE machine. Cool dude. I can learn a thing or two form you. I feel GUILTY at first in Bringing More Worries to you but now Barnie Means War now. Well done CBS. ibmw. I didnt get the xenon too late someone got it. Waahaaa:(
 
Re: Great White's old clothes...

ibmw! It's all YOUR fault!!!

You are the one who started it all with your iPod link and Eibach/Bilstein combo and telling me the black one parked at my place is a pre FL when I didn't even know that a 320 has a 6-cylinder engine. Why did you have to tell me to go sit in your car when I was happily driving my Merc??? Just record the song and go home lah. Now kena already, die a slow death....
