  • A330 is a much, much older aircraft from early 90s. A350 is about 20 years newer.

    It's more comfortable, more spacious, less NVH, newer tech, more economical and environmentally friendly.

    it's like comparing an old car with a new car.

    Wheel and Tyre Choices Dilemma

    i bought a set of TE37, i went 9.5 inch because i thought bigger is better and that's everyone's going with.

    but that would limit your tyre choice, you have to go wide for it to not stretch. in my case i have to go 255/35/18 semi-slicks or 265/35/18 UHP tyres.

    you're adding so much weight which hurts driving dynamics, comfort, efficiency. i think it's so counterintuitive - you buy a set of forged wheels to save a few kg of unsprung mass, but you add it all back in again with wider tyres.. I wished i had gone with a 9J lol...

    remember kids:

    1. if you wanna get wheels go for the narrowest rims possible and achieve that fitment with offset.
    2. consider the size of the tyres you will put on before buying the wheels. popular sizes are cheaper and more competitively priced.

    Transforming this slow 4.6 into a screaming coyote killer

    I'm usually not a fan of American cars, or long videos but I watched the whole video.

    My guy showcases the build, and upgrades he did overtime and drag raced progressively faster and faster cars to gauge how much faster his car is.

    It's refreshing to see a no-bullshit, non-clickbait, entertaining car video tbh.

    TIL Ora Good Cat was styled by ex-Porsche designer Emmanuel Derta

    Still, I couldn't get over how the side profile is a direct rip off of E210 Corolla.

    It's business as usual for a Chinese car, taking design cues from so many makes. The lights are reminiscent of Cayman, the two tiny bulges are from AMG, and the side profile is from E210 Corolla. The 5-spoke wheels look a bit like Fuchs? at least the proportion is correct.. but the track can be a bit wider

    MBPJ’s two-hour public parking bays have reached Damansara Uptown, the bustling commercial centre of SS21 Damansara Utama. This writer saw something unusual at his usual lunch spot, and there they were, the orange-painted parking bays …

    MBPJ 2-hour parking bays now in Damansara Uptown - paultan.org

    Very interesting, many countries i've seen have timed parking bays and I think it should be more common.

    One of the comments mentioned that Uptown is bad but I think Kota Damansara Sunway Nexis/Giza area is even worse...

    Government's decision to retain approved permit (AP) system a regressive move, according to economists - paultan.org

    Highlights:

    • Minister of investment, trade and industry Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz reiterated that the government has no intention of phasing out the approved permit (AP) system for vehicle imports despite providing a leeway for Tesla.
    • Removing APs will not (only) allow consumers to have access to more products at a more affordable price, but it will also create a competitive push for local producers, forcing them to improve on price and technology
