    Filled up the MTF until it just started to drip out from the filler hole.
    MTF side is done.

  2. Annual Service 02

    The owner mentioned that the shift feeling is bit notchy but not sure whether it is due to the super low mileage or not (well below 10K miles).

    So, after the general check up, adjusted the tyre pressure and went out for the test driving session.
    The Front tyre was too old (7yrs old) and I think I should have increased my own tyre pressure setup by 1 - 2psi for today as it was very cold.
    The shift feeling didn’t change much between cold and hot MTF

    So, first, went through the service history

    First, bench tested all three AMPs to check the state of them.
    One of the Front (Door) AMP was just making cracking/popping noise with no music

  5. Season’s Greetings

    Hope everyone will have great time and wishing you and your family a Happy New Year.

    For 2011, there were lots of things happened in Japan.

    Thank you to the owners who sent very kind messages as well as paid a little extra for my services.
    All of the extra payments together with mine were donated to Japan Red Cross at the end of summer.

    It will take many years to recover but hope everyone will have peaceful time in the new year.
