2014 Audi TT Styling

In an interview given to CarAdvice, Volkswagen Group design chief Walter de Silva said TT's final styling has been approved ahead of the car's arrival next year. It will draw its inspiration from the first-gen model but with a few hints from the current one.

The new TT will be a "combination" and will remain a true TT "but in a different way." It will be different than Audi's current models, especially at the front, while the sides and rear will keep the usual lines. The biggest improvements will be in quality and attention to detail, along with a longer wheelbase. Its chassis will be stiffer and lighter to improve weight distribution and provide better handling. It will use VW's MQB platform with only turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines.

Project Kancil: Cleaning Foglamps With Tooth Paste

Since my L2s bodykit is from the halfcut shop (scrap yard) thus one of the fog lamp is not really in good condition while the other still looking good. The not in good condition means over here is the fog lamp is seriously oxidized. Changing a pair of them will cost me about RM100-200 and it is a challenge to find a set with nice condition. Maybe in the near future, I will change to the projector fog lamp a.k.a mata ketam over here in Malaysia. While waiting this to come true, I could probably clean my covers to remedy this. Yesterday I decided to do something about it.

There are many products you can buy to do this. I am cheap and lazy so I decided to do it another way. This is actually super easy and relatively quick to do. Searching on Google, I found people using toothpaste doing the same thing here and here and here and here and here and here.  So I figured it would be worth a shot.

Honda CB350 Cafe Racer From Israel

Since I'm on the way into bike world, thus I will always read and look into some famous modification around the bike world. Now I found out that recently the modification scene has moved back to the 60s where the cafe racers ruled the bike world back then.

The cafe racer is a motorcycle that has been modified for speed and handling rather than comfort. The bodywork and control layout of a cafe racer typically mimicked the style of a contemporary Grand Prix road racer, featuring an elongated fuel tank, often with dents to allow the rider's knees to grip the tank, low slung racing handlebars, and a single, rearward mounted, humped seat.
