Rust bubble forming on rear bonnet. Don't want it to get worse but it seems quite unavoidable even not under sunlight. Both front doors also have rust bubbles. Also the pillar area between roof and door is showing a bit of paint deterioration. Maybe shouldn't let it get under the sun for long periods anymore. Repaint is definitely needed but not sure when.

That's why thought of using Iswara if go to work daily next time. :biggrin:
Ahh chicken pox....some lucky can get fixed. Or it will pop somewhere else. :banghead:

My grandfather saw it and said, better buy a new rear bonnet and new front doors. Bonnet I understand need replacement because rust is happening on both sides. But the doors? What for?

Got rust on both doors. All aligned to one straight line. Must be the glue thing inside like the roof?

The Iswara in my house is at the same age as my Wira but it seems to have less rust problem than my car. My car is usually parked inside under the roof while Iswara is only parked outdoors under the sun for years. :banghead:

Must be because I often wash my car...

Talking about Iswara, 2 or 3 months ago whenever I start up the car, a lot of white smoke comes out from the exhaust. Even worse when I rev it. At that time, the car is rarely started and mostly driven at low RPM.

But now, the white smoke seems to have gone completely. That is after I always went to start up the car and keep revving and revving. Did the revving somehow affected the appearance of white smoke?

Afternoon and evening. Quite a noticeable amount of white smoke even during idling. If I rev the car, then the street is like filled with white smoke.

Weird... It doesn't seem like the engine is consuming engine oil either.

After parked for some time? Maybe leak in from valve seal, but after run engine a while no more white smoke right?

Yeah. Start also for a short while not even warmed up. After I took care of starting the car more frequently and warmed up the engine properly everytime, smoke seems to be gone after several more starts.

if shoot vapor out ?
That is due to cold climate?

Suddenly Happy New Year 2017 thread popped out.

But now, I think the right thing to say is, Happy Mid Year 2017 since now is almost exactly the middle of the year already. :biggrin:

Hope everything is well with everyone so far. For me, things have gone well since start of the year until recently where things got a bit hard.
