Technology ain't always a bliss

These pictures tell a lot about the late Ayrton Senna. He, and not Michael Schumacher, is the epitome of the race driver. If the greatest Formula One driver of all time thinks karting is the purest form of driving, then it's good enough foundation for anyone in this day and age of modern cars.

In the end, it's technology that handicaps the driver. And this article from Jalopnik says it all for me. Read it to understand why I, like so many old schoolers, believe technology is can be debilitating. It makes you dependent.

Topless car wash, anyone?

NEVER fall for topless car wash ads like these guys in the video. You've been warned.

Birthday party slash reunion

Went to a batchmate's birthday party last night at Racks, El Pueblo, Pasig with my honey.

Pros and Cons

I'm slowly discovering the pros and cons of the RB24S. It's fuel economy is... bad. Really bad. An A31 specialist from the Cefiro Club advised me to get the engine swapped out with at least an RB20DET. In terms of fuel economy and power, it's much, much better than my current engine. But then I'd have to have at least P70,000.
Oh well. Maybe in the future. If that ever does happen, I'll be going back to running an ECU, something I ran away from when I traded in my B14. Call me old school but a carbed engine is just so much more simpler than something with a computer box.

Cefiro Club Philippines

Recently joined Cefiro Club here in the Philippines. Have yet to go to an EB. Hopefully, I will learn a lot about my new-old car and ways to take care of it. If you're a Cefi-owner as well, you might want to check the club out - http://www.cefiroclub.tk/

I hope to get a club sticker soon.
