guys, as some of you knew, my car has been sick for 3 days. overheating
problem. just got a call from my mechanic, they found the gasket is
burned, luckily the piston is not bent. damn, i wonder how the heck this
happened. i checked the water every 3 or 4 days once. the day it happened,
i check the water level in the afternoon. everythin was ok. but now,
everything went haywire.

Subs,

You mean the top gasket is burnt due to overheat? Or the damaged gasket
that caused to overheat? I replaced my top gasket about a year ago due to
oil leak, not overheat. Keep us updated!

Thanks,

i will keep you guys updated. anyway, i am not too sure as to what
happened. i got to see them later, but i think the top gasket got burnt
due to overheat. wonder how much will it cost? damn, i did not see this
coming. when the mchanic asked me whether i got heart attack or not, i
knew somehting went big already.

geo delimaputih, ada freelance tak? i need money big time babe.

I knew how you felt man... been there once... and lately too. Everybody
needs money nowadays anyway...will try to help you out with the
freelance thingy.

Standby for a levi's couple's tee designs will you. If yours are chosen
for next year's couple's tee campaign you'll get RM250 per design.
ajin created 8 already and nizam like them very much. But they would
want some more cos its going to be bigger next year, so more
designs. I'll have to double check with nizam about this. Call me in
two days.

Hey subsonique

sorry to hear about your car man. my guess is the thermostat thingee.
prob it is jammed shut hence your water is not circulating

volcane, hey man, no problem, there is only one thing left to do, to
mourn over the sickness. haha, no la, that'll be the last that i'd do.
well just fix the car la. not knowing how much it's gonna be. and i bet
your explanation did cause the whole thing to shut down. because
when we crack down the culprit, it was the thermostat and the
stopper thast we found out.

chekai, what to do babe? just pray la. hey thanks for calling, man.

sorry to hear abty your problem man....
but to tell u honestly, ALL italian car owners go thru this problem at
least ONCE in their car lifespan....believe me...last yr was the worst for
me because this overheating problem was a reoccuring one, thermostat
konglah, wiring fan burnt lah, pressure cap dah rosak dah etc2....
now..all is fixed and my car has been "overheating free" since December 2002...

mintak2 di jauhkan lagi..heheheh

BTW, yeah..thats me u saw at taipan...lunch at pizaa & satay rest
dude....my fiancee works at Ivoli sdn bhd...its at the other end of
syukran...eh how come i never see a Bravo there?
