No More Mods

I have said this to myself many times "No more mods for Scooby" and as many times I failed. I am in a shakedown period now. Shakedown is a process where you drive the car as hard as possible to find faults in it. This is normally done pre-race to ensure all components were fitted well and will work as planned.

Scooby is in her shakedown period. As you are aware, I have just upgrade scooby with some niceties (read my previous post). As you improve some parts, others might break. That what's happened yesterday.

On friday afternoon, my fuel bleed line dislodged. I can smell petrol under the hood. Fortunately, I managed to get scooby to workshop else she will catch fire (this has happened many times with other scoobies relatives). Got that fixed.

Last night while I was on the way for dinner, I drove as hard as I can, lo and behold the Y hose under the intercooler dislodged. It was at 10pm and scooby was stuck right before Damansara toll. Called Ah Chai and he came to fix the car. Talk about good service. (I spent a fortune with him, of course he provide good service)

I drove back at half past midnight and engine check light came on. I erased it with my diagnostic tool. It was Error code P0506 (Low idle RPM) then I went to sleep.

Today after the orphanage visit, the check light went on again. Bast*rd!. I checked with my tool again and P0506 came out. I drove straight to Ah Chai shop. He increase the RPM mechanically and Scooby is well again.

This is the process a man has to go thru if he likes to mod. It is not for the faint of hearts. I am so looking forward to the sunday drive next week. News has spread that my car is newly modded. I am a marked man....he he he

No more mods for scooby
