Goodbye TME 7474

Today, I bit farewell to 7474. This would be the last posting about my beloved 7474. The car has been sold.Well sometimes in life there will a point where you have to make a decision. Well, I've made mine. Since I am settling down, I don't think i can afford to maintain the car hence 7474 has to go.

It has been 3 years and I enjoy every minute I drive the car. it's a fun car to drive and superb handling. Who knows I migt bumped into my car one of these days..

So long 7474 ..

7474 Rear Bumper exhaust Heatshield

This is another simple yet functional mods. Well, unlike my CT9A brothers. They have an option to change to a carbon fiber heat shield. Unfortunately for me those parts are very-very hard to come by or non in existence. So like always I have to resort to having it custom made for me. As usual my favourite place would be GME. Ayee has come up with some brilliant ideas. Simple and functional.

Before: Using thermal stickers

After: Aluminium plate

As you can see the aluminium plate looks much more neater. Furthermore, it also hides the part which was melted by the heat of the exhaust.

7474 Steel Braided Breather Hose

I have been toying with the idea to change the kind of dirty looking blue silicon hoses to the steel braided hoses type. Normally people will connect the breather hose to an oil catch tank. Since I don't have an oil catch tank. I have decided to connect it to the air-ram. The steel braided hose looks much more cleaner and way cooler than the silicon hose type. It was a quick job which took less than 20 minutes to complete it. You can see the results from the picture below.


Before: Using silicon hose


After: Steel braided hose conversion

Ayee from GME has done another good job. Next up will be the rear bumper protector.
