    Toyota Engineer Died From Overwork

    The company is only part of his work. Who knows he has to "work" when he got home with the kids and maybe overtime with the wife.

    Natural gas engine oil

    I am now considering converting my car to use natural gas. I know it runs leaner at an AFR of 17:1 compared to gasoline. This will lead to higher temperatures. Not only that, I know that gasoline actually lubes the valve seats and with a gaseous fuel this will lead to premature valve seat...

    E Smooth Commercial from Thailand

    The language spoken is Thai. Thank goodness for the subtitles. There are 4 parts but it is hilarious. Somewhat like Shaw's Pygmalion. Here are the links to the Youtube videos of it. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgF-2DeTtc8 Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdCkeK0eDKc Part 3...

    My favorite beach

    This is actually the southern most part of what is known as Rantau Abang. This is where the Giant Leatherbacks come to lay their eggs. Sadly I see these same eggs being sold in the local market I visited later. It is a protected species. A good reason why I don't go into the water at this beach...

    My favorite beach

    I have visited this beach in Malaysia in May 06. Teluk Bidara. Very isolated. Not a soul on the beach while I was there besides me and my family. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tp/16cac0/ More pictures of it in my travelogue over here: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tt/7f5db/#TL

    Coolant for GM-DAT cars

    I'm using Prestone's 5/150 Dexcool on my Aveo. No problems. Wouldn't be much with your Optra. The coolant system is pretty well designed. Can't say the same for the Vivant.

    Battery recommendations?

    I live in the tropics. I get the fattest, heaviest, meanest battery that meets my car's minimum CCA and can fit under the hood. RC is much more important in hot climates. All about batteries from the Car Battery FAQ. http://www.uuhome.de/william.darden/carfaq.htm

    Somebody should tell RotorDemon that it ain't Chevy superiority but Suzuki superiority actually.

    I borrowed my wife's car last night and got in a race.

    Vuarra, not only good torque but also very reliable. Swift mechanics are very lonely people.
