Friendship

[ Please click to see the whole comic strip ]

If you're Odie, what will you say this time? I'll probably say, "Don't worry, I know what to do...".

FD3s

No. I'm not talking about Fixed Deposit. Lately my friend Lasapka has been talking FD with me. He reckoned FD matched my image well. Hmm... hopefully my TOTO will tiok big time soon and I will definitely get one... In the meantime, these are some of my favourite FDs...

Honda S3000 vs Reuben Zammit X3

Honda S3000 Concept

X3 by Reuben Zammit ( based on RX-7 )

There was an image running around my mind lately after I saw the news about the speculated Honda S3000 in the web since yesterday. Then it hit me this morning that there was indeed a design by Reuben Zammit which looked quite similar to the new S3000. The X3 was designed based on the Mazda RX-7 FD3s platform.

Could this be the beginning of a new head on fight between Mazda and Honda? This could be interesting...

Gosh... I'm a die hard fan...

Home Improvement

Last Saturday has been quite a busy day for me. I've got my home's living room and dining room refurbished with laminated flooring. *grin* Thanks to Lasapka for the introduction of the special flooring, after much persuasion, My wife and I finally decided to floor it! *laugh* The result was fantastic! We chose Toni Beech. The colour is just nice. *wink*

Now, the walls looked kinda sick... will be painting it before Christmas! *smile*

Product Development Update

It has come to the 3rd weeks of our product development and we're basically experiencing some downtown time in sourcing for the right pneumatics actuators and power packs. My engineering team - eXpedio Solutions, has been in talks with 5 different automation suppliers and finally, we have decided to go for a Korean company namely, Hydro-Tek. We will be working closely with the Hydro-Tek representative to build the special mini power pack control system. Once that's done, we can work on designing and enclosure to conceal cabling, etc. In the meantime, we've gotten all the dimensions for the parts and can continue with the detailed design.

As our active aerodynamics product required light-weight actuators that come with the right strength to withstand the maximum down-force acted upon it, we're probably going to work with a local pneumatic flow engineering company called WOG Controls. Being the main distributor of CKD Corporations Japan, WOG is a well acknowledged solution provider for pneumatics and fluid controls engineering in South East Asian market.

Rest assured, our progress are still within the schedule and we hope to see a fully functional prototype by the end of October.
