Kg. Gajah open track day - 18 May 08


4.30AM - get up after lying on the bed for two hours or so. (i fix mango's radiator until 2AM) prepare and heading to my factory to pick up mango. he was left there to cool down and wait for radiator cap from McGuyver. We install the new plug and start heading for Bukik Merah Gunung Semenggol R&R to meet up with chean's group, wei 12, Lao 3, and other fellers from Penang.


After a short briefing on our convoy and dividing into two group, one high-speed convoy and one casual convoy. Which i will be leading the casual convoy.


It's a very fine day to drive on the old trunk road. too bad i was too busy talking into 3 talkie thus my hand wasn't free to take photos.


We took a short break at the petrol station somewhere near Titi Gantung. Man, it's hard to keep all 30 cars together as there's too much "alien" traffic keep budging in.

mango and his loyal follower Ranger ^_^

6.45 am departure, 8.30 am arrival (should be able to arrive earlier due to some slow drivers.) And soon, we were all brief on the safety regulation on the track and then announce the group each driver was assigned (i was in group 1, together with some awesome driver - Daniel, Raj, Patrick soso stresss :S) and Gentleman ! START YOUR ENGINE!
warming up mango's new heart for his first try in Kg gajah track ^.^ all the thing in mango's heart was singing happily. eager to try out it's new found power. But unluckily once i get into the track, only to found out the track was full of sand and debris. and mango's brake still didn't work properly. so i went off the track. 
which a few moment later, during the drift session, TK ran out the track and hit the tyre wall and stuck. time for Ranger to get into action ^.^ 
Ranger done the job without any difficulty. hehe~ *peanut la~
and one thing i keep objecting to TK, this guy tie the poor CJ7 on his car's back. which i doubt might fall off during running in the track and cause some mayhems...

After few groups running on the track, plus Uncle Choi, who had installed mango's new heart arrive around 10am, ask his guy to adjust my brake so it will respond better. So i took mango in for a few laps, together with my brother. And now mango is able to put his feet down and slam the tarmac. with 30~40% of braking power in hand, i had to take early breaking point and keep safe distance from other driver (sorry guys, who ever was behind me.)

*video coming soon when i received it from my brother.

Four generation of toyotas gather together - McGuyver's AE101, Bro's AE92, Panda's AE82 and my TE72.(We call ourself Team AE-20V) wanna know the reason behind it?
See for yourself, 4 generation of cars share the same heart, 4AGE-20V from toyota's - the legendary high Rev engine. 
*p/s Scav, isn't that your car which was been tow-ed???
And by the time we close the event, this was how the track look like after rampaging by the Drifters. yaiks~!
