with my Satria Neo.
Today, I want to reveal... or rather tell you guys the story about my vehicle... The outstanding... Proton Satria Neo. Metal Grey.
For all the detail of the stock Satria Neo. You can find the information at
http://www.satrianeo.com.my or just click here for the e-brochure
http://www.satrianeo.com.my/swf/satria-neo.pdfHere, I will only tell about all the mods that I have done together with a few pictures. Date will be put along if remembered.
First, after only 5 days i got the car... that is on Sunday 6th October 2007... I've installed the R3 imitation spoiler and 4 point front stablizing strut bar. For a total of RM430. RM350 for the spoiler and RM80 for the strut bar.
After a month using it, I've installed keyhole illumination. This is the 1st product that i bought from Automotive Genesis. Cost me RM100 together with LED for door light.
After 2 month using it, I've installed an open POD air induction kit. A'PEXi brand together with custom grounding from C-Ground Tech. These items cost me alot, but it is worth the money. For A'PEXi open POD together with custom heatshield is RM530. The C-Ground custom grounding cost me another RM120.
Then, I went to SPS Section 13, in Shah Alam to buy the R3 Spark Plug Cable. There are a little bit of confusion here. Supposely, I get 20% discount from Red Ace Engineering. But at that time I only get 15% discount. The price of the item before discount is RM200. So at that time I have to pay RM170.
Later I bought from the the R3 Plate Number Holder for RM40. Suppose the price is RM50 but because they already owe me RM10. So the whole R3 Plate Number Holder package is RM55 including RM15 for the new plate number they had to make to be fitted into the holder.
There is this one day, I was hangging at Automotive Genesis. Then suddently I saw the Autobot emblem inside the showglass. I grab the thing immediately. The emblem itself cost me RM25.
Then I started to get mad about Transformers. I buy a few Transformers stickers and place it all over the place i could think of. I am so sorry I don't think stickers' price should be mention here.
Then I heard rumors about peoples in my campus start using water as additive to fuel to save fuel consumption. But not in the way that putting water into fuel tank. At first I heard of it, it seems like hoax. So I did my research and found out that it is true. There are such system. So I installed them for RM35. A little bit of review. It is seriously save fuel. For RM88 (my full tank of fuel) usually I can only go around 520km. But after installing the device, I can go up to 630km.
All that I've wrote above is the mods I've done last year. This year, its getting wilder. First, I've bought an ElectroLuminescent Autobot Logo from e-Bay for RM40.
Then, I've installed an extra gauge. A vacuum meter gauge from AutoGauge. It cost me RM80.
The next thing I've installed is Aluminum Cam Valley Cover with Auto-Genesis emblem on top of it. The price is RM130.
Then I started to enjoy modding, thus I starting to get what I wanted the most, the Angel Eyes. Similar to the BMW kind of lighting, just a little bit brighter. Cost me RM450. Plus a switch i asked Automotive Genesis to put, another RM30. And the balast burn out by a friend, makes the total cost of the Angel Eyes is RM450 + RM30 + RM40 = RM520.
After that I installed RideTones into my Neo with sounds from Transformers, some from SFX, and others from songs and Kamen Rider. The system cost me about RM800 including the sound effect. The item itself worth RM550. The installing cost is RM180 for Neo because of the alarm system are from Captor. And the sounds cost me around RM80.
To spice up the look of my car, I also installed the undercar lighting. Similar to neon just that I use LED strip. For Neo size car, the cost will be RM320 including workmanship.
And I've done tinting my car for RM480 and I seriously hope that the authority will not disturb my car in any way.
I think that's it. For now. Ekekeke. Lets track back on how much did I spent on the car.

Suprise? So do I. I never thought that I have spent almost RM4K to my car. In just 5 month using it. This does not include all the services, fuel and such minor things.
Yet I still have more mods to do to this car. I love my Neo. I love modding car. Car modification can make a person go crazy.
But by looking at the mods that I've done, I can say that it satisfy me just to look at the car. Knowing how much it grows. Modifying car makes me feel safe, confortable, calm and the most important of all... it makes me feel happy!!!
