Fuel is burning in the air~

I thought this was going to be a boring day since business was a bit to the slow side these days~ But who knows, surprise came knocking at the door, not one but two~ ^^

First is my old track junckie friend, Lao San came and get a fix on his old Nexus suspension which i made for him. It's literally old cause he's been running on it for 3+ years now. And still going strong with few services since the installation.  

Always clean and shinny vios~ 

 Showing off the bright teeth~ lol~ 

 Lao san's old Nexus, Competition Spec absorbers.

And the second surprise was Ivan came with his white GTR-ER34 ( GTS) to set up his Tein suspension. Too bad he's not letting me post her pic (>_<). And from his mouth, i found  out that they were planing a trip to sepang around September. So i think there will be more to come later. Maybe~

A living proof of what the condition of the bored-ness has cave in on us. My bro get a hair-do by using our 10 bar compress-ed air-gun~ XD never need to go to saloon anymore~ lol~ 

A little miss-haps~ (>_<) nothing big~ :P

I was having a bit of fun last friday~ and i accidentally created this~ XD~ a LONG 11~ and the mark is still on the floor till today~ despite of the rain last night~ haha~   

If you were wondering what happened that day~ It was just a small 150m sprint i was playing with my worker's 4G93 wira~ :P which he said to had added some horsie to it and had won a mivec-4g93 a week earlier~ 

Though i wasn't really in the wind to drag with him for he's in a high mood~ but he's been bragging it for the whole week and when my friend fuji came on friday, he went on and bugg-ed him. So i finally took up the challenge~  (had to show him some colors :P)~

As the first round went, i was leading by moderate distance - for my worker had a bad launch~ into second round we goes~ 

In first~ i was a car length ahead. As i almost finish revving into my second gear, and i was about to lift to used both engine breaking and brakes (for the road wasn't that long :P) my throttler stuck-ed and the engine still revving at full steam. I had to cut the engine and slam on the brake hard and guess what~? (>_<) DENG rear brakes wasn't responding as it should be! Kick the brake again as i didn't had vacuums assist... the engine was cut-ed remember? 

And walla~ left brake lock-up earlier than right and the car start swaying to the right, and looking as mango closing in to the curb~ only thought in my mind was "oh no, my ONI~!!!" 

and with a small 'pop' sound mango stopped as the tyre hit slightly on the curb. Good heaven it just scratch a little on the rim's edge without bigger harm done~ phew......

Now mango will be going back to Mcguver's place for a brake re-tuning to correct it's front-rear bias~ 

till then~ happy driving to all~ ^^ and be-careful when 'fooling' around~ hahaha~  

LSD for T-18??? can fix KE70 S axle???~

Just starting to throw out rubbish and in the first few boxes of ancient artifact, i dug this out from no-where~ XD~ 

  Was amazed by if a few year back. It is belong yo McGuyver where he pass it to me years ago when he cannot figured out what it is. 

 Ya, i know~ :P we were bored back then XD~ After much research, i found out that this bugger belongs to a T-18 axle with 6" rings and same 20 spine as KE70's ~

 And i took it apart to check were it's a one way~ 1.5 way or a 2 way~ and...... definitely a 2 way~  ^^

 All the clutches was still in good conditions~

 And the pinions as well~

20 spine~ will try to see if it would fit's McGuyver's TE72's(KE70 liftback) original axle~

What's your color???

You can said we were too bored or just too mischief ~ XD~ Were working on something idiotic this afternoon. (just some small tricks my bro were doing to 'repay' McGuyver for painting his car's brake caliper awfully ugly~ ^^

enjoy the pic~ hahaha~ 

 BTW, we only used cheap spray can color~ :P dun wan to spend too much for the little fun~ 

 And the final layer was on~ XD

 Looks like candy floss~ nice~ yum yum~

 lotus???

He will be so shocked when he come and collect his absorbers~ XD wakakaka~ 

I'll be back~~ Next week ^^

Went McGuyver's place yesterday~ Good to see his TE72 on it's foot again~ but he tell me he had some miss-haps a night before~ XD~ fuel wasn't coming in well while he was doing some 'illegal' donuts @ Batu Kawan area~ lol~ Might be a faulty AC-pump. that's why it's parking @ the roadside. hahahha~

 But he did some polishing to the car~ and darn, look how straight the body line is, sure mango will be really envy on that~ But darn, my old 13" Enkei looks good on his TE~ anyway, mango wasn't able to wear those anymore since the brake upgrades~ 

 Just took some shot at an alley where i buy my lunch today~ the sky was a bit moody but the light was perfect on mango's matt body~ how i wish i can drive mango under the moody soft light in New zealand or scotland~ mango's matt black would be astoundingly beautiful~ ^^

 And another shot from the side~ i'm getting pretty stuck with the ONI these days. Make mango looks 10  years younger~ lol~

Btw, mango's axle is start making fairly lots of noise. I think it's time to get the final drive's crown gear checked. Will do it after i came back from KL next week~ till then~

Cheerio~

Something is brewing under our nose~ hmmmmm~

Went spot-check friend's workshop at Jalan P.Ramlee last week when he went on for honeymoon in Hattyai~ XD~ and guess what i found~ hahahahaha~ 

THIS~!!!!!!

Guess there's someone secretly brewing something monstrosity under our noses without us knowing anything hohoho~ Let's keep our mouth shut until he unveil the monster heart in his TE72 later~ lol~

till then...... cheerio~

Progress~ progress~

Going to McGuyver's place this morning~ and saw his car were on stands all 4 corners~ he had taken out all the brakes and links for servicing~

 And he slightly painted the rear axle (he is very picky on how the car looks

 And set everything in for a new sets of absorbers for the front~

 What else i would let him runs on? APM? Mando? NO~!!!! Surely it had to be a pure TKA breed~ lol~ Genuine Touge spec Special.Absorers.Modification absorbers from TKA~ XD~ (sorry for some self-AD here~ :P)

 Well... as we were planing to use the slotted rotor which was taken out from my AE86's knuckle~ but seems like it won't fit on KE70's knuckle so idea abandoned~

 We revert back to use the original KE70's brakes~ since McGuyver will still runs his 4K under the hood for a while, we think it should be able to deliver enough breaking power with a servo and pad upgrades~ And off we go to Penang island to pick up some 'nice' parts for his car~ ^^

 All and all~ it's time to fill up the tummy for it's pass lunch time~ And~ we drove to the only Burger King in Penang~ about the location...... sorry i can't tell the places's name. Just let you know it's close to M-Power's shop and in between the sea and Jelutong highway~

 Love their burgers but there's only one outlet in the island~ non off-shore around north malaysia~ (>_<)

 McGuyver~ giving the 'what you wan?' stare~~~~ XD~

 With a full stomach we set to the designated location we were heading~  My old friend Yus's place~ @Lorong KG Rawa near Volvo service centre~

 And pick this bugger up(i had bought it actually)~ a AE86 T285 axle with a faulty LSD~ will try to open up later to check for the problem~ (though my true intension was to took the ring gear set to use for my Mango (^^) )

And after a few hours of chit-chat and going around a few friend's shops (also chit-chatting) and taking a hefty dinner @ Char Ling Park~ and we head for home ~  a tired but enjoy-able day....

*p.s. actually feeling a bit bad to had my bro handling the factory for a whole day (>_<) ~~~
