Nice Shower Day

Since today is my turn to take leave. This morning I took my Blue Hippo to CV Audio Accessories to change the carpet. Because currently my car using a rubber carpet (like those lorry used one) and it spoil the view of interior, thus I gonna change it to PVC carpet (like "welcome" carpet materiel). Once I arrived there, I leave my car there and asked Jacky to change the floor carpet for me. Then I went to a Chinese restaurant which just near by his shop to have my breakfast while waiting him to complete his job. After I finished my breakfast, I went back to Jacky and he was just finish done my car on time. After paid for the carpet, I went back home to wash my Blue Hippo since I'm having leave~

This is the 1st time I wash my Hippo, normally every time after drive her, I'll wipe her one time(IN and EXterior), but if talking about wash, this is my 1st time. I prepared vacuum cleaner, car wash & wax equipment and begin my task. First, I took out all the carpet and remove all the dust from carpet by slapping the carpet on the wall, then vacuum and wipe the interior part and replace the carpet into the cabin.

Begin with vacuum....






*tired* Finally finish the vacuum stage ^_^


Next, is to replace the carpet into cabin.



Bye bye to "lorry" carpet...


PVC carpet look nice!





This is what I did every time after driving....


After done the interior part, I begin to wash the exterior part. Now I feel that, washing exterior part is ten times easier then interior part, at least no need used the vacuum cleaner and squat inside the cabin for half an hour -_- After wash the exterior part, I wipe the car again to let her dry faster.

Now is exterior turn, I wonder is there any problem if the water go into the engine bay through the NACA duct? Anyway, I try to prevent the water goes in....



*tired tired* What is the next?


Wipe dry the whole car....


Finally I done my task!!! Cover back my Blue Hippo with car cover mat and I count back the time.... its took me about few hours to wash her. Although it is very tired but I feel very happy to see her clean ^_^ After keep all the things, my brother took out my D90 to take few couple of Blue Hippo's pictures.

Finally, I have finished wash the Hippo and this is the picture took after that.


*blink blink*



How to maintain the brake pot? Can I just splash the water to it? Anyway, I just splash it....


The most silent muffler for GTR....


OHLIN suspension.



The brain of my Blue Hippo~


How to remove the rain mark there?


Interior again...



Pictures of rear view...



I'm considering to stick this decal since few people said my rim is not Volk Racing, but in the end I still insist NOT to stick it!


Paiseh.... my engine bay a bit messy /_\




"GTR"..... The key of everyone's dream~


Me, Blue Hippo and my Blue Hippo's guardian Ginger.



Don't shy Ginger, say cheese~ My Ginger is a very smart dog but sometime will easily get jealous, she don't like me to sit inside my Blue Hippo, else she will barking non stop and try to "scratch" my Blue Hippo's rim. Therefore every time when I gonna drive my GTR, I have to put her in the cage 1st. However, if I not going to sit inside the car, she will try to guard my GTR for me. Bird, cat, lizard on the ceiling, butterfly or even my pet(Star Turtle) get near, she will try to chase them away from my GTR. Hehehe:-)
