Flip~ Flip~ Away~

After the slight incident (click here) a few weeks ago~ a 95feet long skid mark (ja~ i went and measured it~ XD) had created two flat spot @ the front tyre~ And mango was galloping like a pony since then~ (>_<)

So i finally took mango and went to transfer the front tyre to the rear rim (can't swap it for the rims is 7jj offset +8 in front and 7.5jj +12 rear~) 
Since mango had all his 4 legs off the ground~ i might as well do a little inspections to the suspension and breaking systems~
The front strut did looks like it had took a lot of thrashing from 3 year+ of driving and track events~
The new brake-pad still had a good 50% left~ so, no worries there~
The rear disc looks like it had slight rust residue on it, shown that the caliper clamping power wasn't strong enough. After much research after the incident, i found out that there's a proportionate valve in front of the chassis which limited the brake fluid's flow to the rear caliper. Will had it removed later when send to McGuyver for tunings.
And there's the galloping pony true face. Not showing well on the picture. But it's a 3mm thinner than the rubber around it~ (^o^) actually a bit heart-aching seeing it like that~
