Work were a bit slow lately due to my ex-worker all open up a 'stall' behind their house and start drilling shock absorbers and start changing absorber oil.
So i have plenty of time thinking up odd mods to the suspension settings XD~ this is one of them~

Last month, i was introduced a sales person from Brisk by a friend. He had show me some of their products and i'm deeply interested in one of it. The Brisk Racing Premium Silver Plug which they work out the design with Lamborghini. So I ask the sales person to give me a discounted sample set to try out on my Bro's Toyota SE Blacktop 4AGE-20V.
It arrive shortly and we had installed the spark plug and let it run for a few weeks and it's almost a month now. Which we had felt a slight increase of torque at lower to mid RPM range. But not much increase in higher RPM range.
Yet, this is not the main point which i had ordered the sparks plug. 4AGE-20V was an old engine engineered about 20 years ago. And it's primitive ignition system with the 12.0+- compression makes it unsuitable to run on any gas lower than Ron 97. Which is bloody expensive by now.
As the Silver sparks plug had a lower internal resistance and a higher heat dissipation characteristic. We were able to run the engine @ a lower ignition timing and significantly reduces the knocking conditions when we run on Ron95 fuel.
So far so good, and bro was happy with the fact that he now running on ~ 19cent/km compare to 28/km one months ago.
Yesterday i was invited my my KYB shock absorbers supplier to attend their road show in Prangin Mall, Penang. So i went there with my wife and daughter.
The event is actually at the Atrium A of Prangin Mall. Just beside the Phone Retailer booth. You will saw it as soon as you walk into the centre court area. It's lit-up in Bright RED KYB logo color~
There's 3 mini games where you can participate in and if you got the fastest time there's small secret gift.
Booth showing off the internal structure of the absorbers and how it works.
Just drop by if you were happening to be around the area. There's no loses learning extra new knowledge about our cars.
After spending 7 weeks in the hand of an Old uncle somewhere in BM, who were said the only man can fix my rims @ it's conditions without heating it up too much until the metal lose it's strength. From this -
to this~ And now all i need is to wait for McGuyver to overhaul mango's engine so it can perform @ it's normal power band. And also fix the sluggish 4th gear which love to disengage itself during decceration. KGC december i'm coming~ ^_^~
I have been resting for almost 12 weeks now~ with my wife doing most of the driving. I really miss sitting in mango's Sparco deng lot~!
And i was so grounded, i start looking back some of mango's old videos and can't notice how much mango had grown over the years.
this was shoot not long after i got mango and broke it's 4K engine. And with freshly installed silver top and KM36 welded axle. It's hard to keep the compounding of mango's understeering all over the place. And initiating a sideway movement also not easy. Even with only 13" wheels installed.
And this is with mango running's stock SVT on Mines ECU with AE86 TRD zenki 2 way 80% lock LSD. It easily initiated drift with minimal effort and the front is holding it's traction even on dry pavement and 15" wheel at the back with fresh rubbers.
Man i miss flooring mango's throttler and i know he sure miss it as much as i am~ (T_T) ~ i still had another 12 weeks of recovering period a head.
But i think mango will be happy in a few months time for he's going to get his engine rebuild for it's piston ring had give way during my last SIC (Sepang International Circuit) open track day.
As i'm still recovering from my back injuries. How would i miss out my friend's garage grand opening?. Good thing i had my own co-driver~ My wife who had follow-ed me around in my Ford ranger tail-gating mango. So i had she drive us to Threshold Garage in Falim, for their grand opening ceremony.
And right away i was shown with what you can do if you own a garage~ XD
and the entertainment for every half an hour.
Justin first run in TG's mean A31 monster~
It's actually a quite good locations to set up a garage, lot's of space, parking and it has a great view as well.
Dun ever attempt this at home! only passenger can drink.
Sorry for the blanks this few weeks. I had been lying on my bed most of the times for a back injury which i got it from work 2 weeks back. I'm now on medication and frustratingly there's no efficient cure yet for slip disc. (>_<) i had to restrain from doing heavy work (which i did for a living day to day~ Ar~!!!!!!!!) for the next 2 months.
But i will try to updates on my R&D which only need my brain and my pen to do the job.
And i'll be working on twin caliper bracket next week.
