Many things happened to my Telstar in the month of October. Firstly, my Telstar had been scratched 2 feet long from the right rear door to above rear tyres BY ANONYMOUS (see photo)
Secondly, my Telstar got ‘Kissed’ by a Kia Spectra driven by a Teenager in ROTHMANS ROUNDABOUT (in front of LISA DE INN Hotel). The teenager at first carried an "object" but put it back in the car after seeing a 200lbs BALD AND FAT MAN (that's ME) alongside 1 TALL Muscular SIZED INDIAN (my friend), he became a chicken, soft spoken, apologizing non-stop. At the end, he only paid me RM50. The rear bumper cracked, misaligned which also caused the BOOT difficult to close. (see photo below)
I set aside RM300 for repair. Ended up repairing the Brakes instead as I don’t have the budget to repair both. FYI, the bumper costs RM380 including Spraying and knocking the mounting back. Adding salt to the wound, the bumper’s sourced from Chop Shops.
The Ladyboss of the workshop which my boss recommended owned a lovely Mazda 626 V6. Here’s the picture:
Oh, I decided to keep my Telstar (below) for AT LEAST another year. Hence, I have plans for this car. 1) Eibach PRO-KIT sports Springs. 2) Simple Top overhaul, 3) New paint (Mazda 6’s Sparkling Silver) – while at it fix the scratches, dents, bumpers, rust blisters in roof (more on it in next month’s report) .
Without further ado, let’s proceed to the Logbook.
