Malaysia 4x4 Jamboree

Malaysia 4x4 Jamboree was held at Sepang International Circuit Off-road Park on 15-17th September, 2012. It is one of the biggest outdoor shows and challenges in Malaysia which comprises of the modified 4x4 challenges, rally challenges,  motocross and atv challenges. The 4x4 Adventure Club Kuala Lumpur (4x4ACKL) is again leading the event to success as the last jamboree in 2010. Kudos to 4x4ACKL for the exciting jamboree.

Behind the scene

Personally, I was fortunate to travel in Kuala Lumpur during the Malaysia 4x4 Jamboree, thus my best opportunity to take some photos of my favourite event, the 4x4 off road challenge. Most of my works for 4x4 photography are in Sabah. Photography on the 4x4 actions are not a slow motion or fear of camera gears to be in the mud. It is definitely a physical challenge to the photographer (and camera too) to get the best and safe spot to capture the action. As usual I am using my favourite Olympus E-1 with 14-42mm and Olympus-E-3 with 70-300mm. Although that I use mostly the two standard Olympus lenses, they are quite reliable. In fact, they survived since I use them in extreme 4x4 challenge condition since 2009, unlike the 12-60mm which died on its SWD recently.

Travel 1: KK-Kota Belud-Kundasang

Training.. training.. modify code, extract data, data cleaning, transformation, discretize, write paper.. report.. etc, argh I need an escape for a while. Actually, while I am here at Sabah, I would like to visit all major towns via different route with any possible means of transport, what else.. my wira lah. This is my first mission from: 1. KK-Kota Belud-Kundasang 2. KK-Tambunan-Ranau-Kundasang 3. KK-Kota Belud-Kota Marudu-Kudat-Tip of Sabah-Kundasang 4. KK-Tambunan-Keningau-Tenom-Sipitang-Beaufort-KK 5. KK-Kota Marudu-Pitas-Beluran-Telupid-Ranau-Kundasang 6. KK-Tambunan-Keningau-Sook-Nabawan-Kalabakan-Tawau-Samporna-Sandakan-Telupid-Ranau-Kundasang Mission number 5 and 6 should be the last because the road may be not suitable for my wira.. hehe. In this journey, the road is easy from KK to Kota Belud but a little bit steep from Kota Belud Ranau-Tuaran junction via Jalan Ranau Bypass. The scenery is simply amazing and beautiful with Kinabalu in the background, but too...

DIY - Hyundai Inokom Atos Starter Removal

I replaced my Suzuki Jimny SJ410 starter sometime ago and it is quite easy because plenty of space in SJ410 engine bay. However, the Atos compact engine bay is really challenging for starter removal. Actually, a hard start had happened to Atos since few months and recently getting worse. Service centre diagnosed as starter problem. The battery is new but very hard to start especially after turned off the engine and need to wait for few minutes then the Atos can be started with two or three key turn. It is very annoying when turning off the engine while filling fuel at petrol station.  Wifey asked at service centre the new starter, guess how much.. RM1K++.. matai.. crazy expensive. Alternatively, have to go for third party starter and looking around Inanam, most of the car parts shops do not have Atos starter. Besides, I don't really know which shops have this starter. Finally, I asked the regular shop at Tamparuli and need to order (no stock already) with price is ab...
