My first love - cars

Cars have always been a passion for me but I've never had the chance nor the time to explore it fully till the last few years in China when I finally settled down. My current rides are a 2006 Audi A6L and a 2007 Nissan Livina Geniss.

The Audi A6L is a long wheelbase version of the C6 A6 designed for China and produced in the joint venture factory in Changchun, China. I have the 4.2l version which is fully optioned as I feel it is the only engine in the line-up that actually does justice and has enough power to run a very heavy car. The car currently has 95,000 km on the odometer and so far I've made the following modifications to the car:

• Evans NPG+ coolant
  
• EBC Red Stuff ceramic brake pads
• lLumar tints on the windows
• Aluminium custom pedals set
• Custom-made two-piece slotted rotors for front and rear in OEM sizing
• Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tyres in OEM sizing (245/45R17)
  

Future modifications include H&R anti-sway bars, 19 inch forged rims and tyres, upgraded DVD system and Sat Nav, and maybe a sports exhaust.


The Nissan Livina Geniss is a small 7 seater that was developed in China. It serves as a great runabout in city driving. I didn't care too much for the handling of the car when I bought it and most of my modifications were to enhance ride comfort and handling. With 32,000 km driven, the following modifications have been made:

• Monroe shocks and Espelir springs for front and rear, resulting in a drop of about 1 inch
• Michelin Energy XM1+ tyres
• Strut brace
• Lower tie bars
• Soundproofing
• Vifa speakers
• V-cool window tints
• Evans NPG+ coolant
