Rompin Trip

Pernah lu org pegi rompin? Rompin ni dlm kawasan pahang kira dh sempadan dgn mersing, Johor. (kalau gua salah btulkn). Klu dr KL lebih kurang dlm 311km smpi ke bandar Rompin. Agak lama gak gua x ke sini. Jalan dia pn xde highway, cuma jalan kampung&tempuh kawasan sawit. Klu sekali sekala nk layan feeling blh ler ke sini. Apa yg gua tau, kebanyakan area sini banyak perkampungan orang asli. Manakala bg kaki pancing, gua rase sini mmg port dia. Dan bg yg nk ke Pulau Tioman, jeti dia xjauh dr bandar Kuala Rompin.

Apa2hal sblm travel jauh2, mcm biasa rutin yg perlu lu org bikin adalah check kondisi kereta dlu. Sboleh2nya elakkan la perkara2 yg tak diingini yg blh merosakkan perjalanan lu org. Benda paling basic yg lu org kne amik port pd kenderaan yg lu org nk pandu tu adalah check minyak hitam dlu, pstu air radiator (which is most important). check jugak spare tank. Bg kereta yg jenis pakai bateri kering, check indicator&yg jenis pakai air kne tgk air bateri tu ckup ke tdk. Ada jenis member2 gua kalau pkai keta, main start jalan je. kalau dia sorg, mungkin xdehal. bayangkan kalau dia bawak ank bini, kan ke nnti blh bg bahaya&susahkan dorg. So paling penting untuk pengguna2 keta, kena rajin check kondisi kenderaan anda. Kemudian yg luar2 plak, check tayar&jugak angin. kne bg balance&isi secukupnya.

Ok, berbalik pd nk ke Rompin ni td pertama skli lu org kne lalu highway selatan&exit Senawang. Then amik ke Kuala Pilah - Bahau - Jempol - Bandar Tun Razak - Muadzzam Shah - Kuala Rompin. Kalau bwk rileks biasa dlm 5jam atau kurang blh sampai destinasi. Gua ingt dlu last gua sampai ke sini 2008. Tu jam keta mmg old school gile. xspray, rim kecik, kalau bwk laju confirm melayang2, spring tinggi. So, kali ni gua pegi keta dh ok sket kot. Janji enjin ok, slesa family gua dduk kira ok la. Jadi, bg yg rse2 free nk dtg sini utk jln2 bercuti, gua sarankan survey dlu internet sbb sini hotel budget mmg limited. Kalau peak hour mmg confirm penuh. Jd ada baiknya kasi booking dlu. Salah satu hotel yg gua dduk tu blh search kt internet bila lu tgk gambar. Bkn xde resort2 area sini, unless klu lu org berduit then blh lepak Hotel Sri Malaysia yg terletak jauh sket dr bandar Rompin ni, atau resort2 kt area bandar ni yg dh tentu harganya..umaaakk aiiihh..So, untuk yg nk bercuti time2 cuti skolah ni, ni mungkin destinasi yg ok kot untuk tenang2 kpala hotak..

p/s: gua jumpa ada sorg budak saga....blh buat geng..ada mase nnti gua cite

Sampai destinasi, minyak ada stgh lg (sbb gua isi pn xsampai full tank), tempreture ok&tu hotel yg gua dduk. So blh try usha&book kalau nk dtg. Slmt bercuti!

Balancing & Wheel Alignment

Gua slalunya klu buat balancing tayar dgn alignment mmg sllunye xpnh puas hti. Sbb buat la mcmana skli pun terutamanya balancing, mmg gua xpnh dpt feel yg btul2 perfect bile lps pomen bikin. lagi2 mse tgh rembat msti la ada gegar sket. Tringat plak gua kt bengkel tmpt keta gua slalu p hantar servis. Nampak mcm ok, mungkin harga dia ada mahal sket. Tp servis terbaeeekk!!

Pe benda tu wheel alignment? So ni gua dpt hasil dr pencarian..

Wheel alignment sometimes referred to as tracking, is part of standard automobile maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the car maker's specification. The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear, and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true (without "pulling" to one side). Alignment angles can also be altered beyond the maker's specifications to obtain a specific handling characteristic. Motorsport and off-road applications may call for angles to be adjusted well beyond "normal" for a variety of reasons.

The symptoms of a car that is out of alignment are:

• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Pulling or drifting away from a straight line
• Wandering on a straight level road
• Spokes of the steering wheel off to one side while driving on a straight and level road.

The symptoms of a wheel that is out of balance are:

• Vibration in the steering wheel at certain highway speeds.
• Vibration in the seat or floorboard at certain highway speeds.
• Scalloped or cupped wear pattern on the tires

Wheel Balance: Out-of-balance tires will cause a car to vibrate at certain speeds, usually between 50 and 70 mph. A tire is out of balance when one section of the tire is heavier than the others. One ounce of imbalance on a front tire is enough to cause a noticeable vibration in the steering wheel at about 60 mph. To balance a wheel, the technician will mount it on a balancing machine which spins the wheel to locate the heavier part. He will then compensate for the heavy part by attaching a lead weight on the opposite side. Many people are pleasantly surprised at how smooth their car drives after balancing all four wheels.

Most high quality tires will hold their balance fairly well and go out of balance very gradually. If you notice a vibration that wasn't there the day before, it is possible that one of the lead balancing weights fell off. If you feel the vibration mostly in the steering wheel, the problem is most likely in a front wheel. If the vibration is mostly in the seat, the problem is probably in the rear.

For those of you who are very sensitive about vibrations and your shop can't seem to get that last bit of vibration out, check to see if you have locking wheel lugs. Some locking lugs are as much as 1.5 ounces heavier than the other lug nuts which translates to about 1/2 ounce at the wheel rim. Try putting a 1/2 ounce weight opposite the locking lug and see if it helps.

Paham dh kan? OK, berbalik pd keta gua tu plak. Gua saja nk cube since gua tgk pekerja kebanyakannya berpengalaman. Gua kasi lu org layan gambar2 yg gua snap. Kalau kedai yg baik, mmg gua akan kongsi utk area2 yg berdekatan.

Kebiasaannya utk kreta2 jenis old school mcm gua, bile sampai 1 tahap buat balacing xblh gak dpt perfect, dia akan buat 1lg dipanggil "onwheel balancing" dimana sebijik mesin akan dia pasang pd tayar don keta, dan dia akan letak la pemberat&kasi pusing tayar kita tu sampai maksimum. Keputusannya, gua puas hati dgn kerja2 bengkel ni. Lokasi? Puchong. Blh tgk map&gambar..Chiow!!

p/s: pd yg kurang jelas dgn gambar yg gua upload ni, blh click kt gambar tu&save kt desktop lu org. Then view blk. insyaAllah clear..slamat melawat blog!
