Chevrolet Colorado Roadshow - Borneo Expedition 2012

Borneo Expedition by Chevrolet Colorado and Naza started their roadshow at Kota Kinabalu on 23rd-24th June 2012. The event was held at the open space near Alam Mesra, 1Borneo Kota Kinabalu Sabah Malaysia. Mitsubishi Motors had their roadshow at the same place here. Although that the Colorado is not new but the new appearance in Malaysia market is like testing the same product that may be different taste. While Toyota, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Ford and Nissan already matured in the double-cab segment in Sabah, can the Colorado survive or will just like few short-lived double cab brands? Time will tell.

I managed to test drive the Colorado and again I must stressed that I'm not the double-cab review man or know how to value the car for everyday use. Leave that to the car reviewer. Although that the feel of driving the car is actually similar to other double cab brands, one thing that quite interesting during my off road test drive is I don't have to press the acceleration pedal and just control the steering on some of the offroad obstacles. Its like the car is on the cruise control.

Chevrolet Colorado Roadshow - Ekspedisi Borneo

Looking at the exterior look of the Colorado, it is somehow prettier than few of the double cab brands out there. One of the Colorado vehicles was modified to add its looks with at least 2inch lift, bull bar with winch, side steps, rear steel bumper (wheel and jerry can carrier). Perhaps, it could be tested at this year edition of Borneo Safari to show its reliability in extreme offroad and gain more trust and attention to the car. Anyway, good luck Colorado.

Okay, now sharing some of the photos.

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...

How to go to Kundasang?

First of all, thank you for arriving into my blog. Whether you will arrive in Kota Kinabalu by an airplane (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), sea or land, I would like to welcome you to Sabah Below the Wind and also welcome to Kundasang, the home for Sabah vegetables and Mount Kinabalu. I know my page is not really informative but hopefully can benefit to you. My blog receives quite many references from search engines looking for "Kundasang map", "peta kundasang", "how to go to Kundasang from KK" and some other similar keywords. Thus, I will try as possible to briefly explain how to go to Kundasang from Kota Kinabalu. It’s a bit sad actually that Sabah’s public transport is not yet fully developed to integrate all important destinations at the moment. However, I’m hoping that the Sabah Government will work out on this issue as soon as possible to provide better public transport links to popular destinations especially Kundasang. Normally, when friends ask...

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...
