Philip's beaut Toyota Corolla LE...
Along with all round skirts.
Daniel's low down monster.. Custom fabricated with some creativitiy and loads of passion.
Here's some earlier work which is a massive... and I do mean Massive Fiat.
Fer's Evo III with monster I/C mod fitting.
Soon's personal ride going through a mid-life crisis. Changing from Evo to Scooby.
And the man himself at work. Check out the diligence.
And if you're thinking this dude is outta touch, check out his latest project car. An Alfa Romeo 166 widebody with full bumper conversions.
And trust me, those tailpipes not only look great but sound awesome.

Mini skirt and lips

Contrary to what you may have conceived in your corrupted little mind, and I know the title sounds like a catch-phrase for liposuction and botox :P However, there will be multiple updates today as I've not done so for ever such a long time. So bear with me whilst I blabber on...

About two weeks ago, I brought the Silver Banana over to Soon at Mansion II after he'd called up about putting me up with a surround to complete the looks. So I dropped the SB off for Soon to work his magic and after a couple of hours, all modifications and mouldings were done up and the skirts were ready for masking and paint.

Mark and I were there to perform the masking and painting... He did the masking (which was tough due to the curves), and I did the grinding down and painting. Which turned out quite sucessful except for a few areas that needed putty.
Ponna excellent job macha.. Thanks a bundle.
Once we were done with the paint and everything was glossy and shiny, Soon got to work to install the skirts. These were done without rivets or screws as I'd requested not to drill holes in the chassis. As usual, Soon did a fantastic job... This dude is gifted, I tell ya!
This is a profile shot of the complete works.
Rear 3/4 vision. The Silver Banana does have a fat ass doesn't she?
Rear shot of my banged up bumper... Again, I'd just like to say I hate bikes. Or at least those that like to ride fast and can't control their machines.
As customary after every visit to the fiberworks shop, it's time to wash down the Silver Banana. It was whence I'd realise that the Silver Banana is indeed a huge ass mutha'tucker. Time to downsize methinks... *mind churns*... *evil grin*

However, a week down the road and there was unanimous vote to add in canards to the fiber concoction already present. So Soon got to measuring and conjuring me up a set of whiskers.
Installed and looks excellent. Just for looks though... Hehehe...
As I was beginning to think that we were complete, my mech (and main advisor) Fer had a brilliant stroke of imagination and suggested more items!

A million thanks to Mansion II for the excellent job, and to Soon no less, for the tedious attention to details and care during the installation.
Check back soon for further updates.

Stuffed!

After the constant touge sessions and everyday wear, my muffler got a little burnt out and its note turned blary.

As every petrolhead knows, this warrants a trip to your local favourite exhaust shop. So I went to Kiong Lee for a fiber cartridge refill.

Upon lifting the Silver Banana up on one of his main jacks, he found the exhaust route and components to be too restrictive, sapping power and causing immensely high fuel consumption, he explained. So the muffler was removed along with half the piping down (up at that moment) there.

He'd (Ah Kiong) re-routed the pipes, replaced a massive resonator with a MUCH less restrictive one, retained the original stainless steel resonator to keep vibrations down whilst Ah Lee (his younger sibling) refilled my muffler's fiber cartridge.

Re-installation works were done, Kiong even adjusted my muffler angle (sed it looks nicer), and I'd test drove it for a week now. More power could be felt at the mid RPMs but only a slight increase in the higher revs, plus, my car can now do 500+ km on a full tank where previously it could only do 300+ km.

Much thanks to Kiong Lee.... Both of them :P
*I didn't get any photos as I left the car with them whilst I was away*
