More close up look at the rim. Seems like the air is insufficient?

Close up look at the Michelin Pilot Preceda 2 tire (215/45/17). Because of its lower profile than the 16" tire, it tends to be noisy on rough road surface. Not sure of Bridgestone RE001 but i'm sure this is much quieter than RE001. I have tried using PP2 on a 16" ride and it is quite a good tire. Is it because it is made in Thailand? More adaptable to our Singapore weather? On wet road, the grip is good and water panning is great. I'm full of confident handling my ride during heavy downpour. On dry road, the handling is firm and steady.


Closer look at the Advan Racing RZ rim. A 10 spokes rim. No centre cap as the Advan racing cap is a separate purchase. And, it is only 1 color which is not matching with the Dark gun metallic Advan RZ. No regret getting this rim and tires. The overall look is great as it gives a sporty look on a FD1A. Even without a bodykit, it is still sweet!

Was at upper pierce reserviour today. Flash out my Nikon D90 and attempt to take a few shots of my ride. Weather is good and evening sun is perfect for photo taking. Should have washed the car before the photo shoot but due to time constraint, this is the only time i have for a quick shoot.

The place was quiet and there are a few cars around on a sunday evening. Some cars are with engine switched on and one even have newspapers all over its windows. Hmm.. wonder what was behind those papers....

Saw a few monkeys out to salvage for food. :-)
