1st may~ labour day. factory closed, i decide to pay mango a visit. see how he is recovering.
So i hop on the ranger with my wife and we hit the road. 1.5 hours later we were at Uncle Choi's workshop, and instantly i saw mango parking in the front of the workshop.
The first thing i open the hoot and see mango's new heart. Everything was done nice and clean. I just love the work of art perform by Uncle Choi. It's worth it to "hospitalize" mango for almost 2 months. Somemore he even gave me some of his previous KE70-20V's part, the custom make air intake box, his slight "banana" 4-2-1, his BIG mushroom air filter. Thanks a lot Uncle Choi~!
(sorry mite. had to remove the photo of the intake box due to request from Uncle Choi tm thingy).
The dunno what slight "banana" 4-2-1 with thermal wrap~ ^.^ yeah~
Later we meet up with
TougeKing and have a tea, as well as picking up a box of Red-Line gear oil for my friends back in penang. after a while of chit chat, i had to leave to drop by a visits to my puppy's friend. They haven meet each other for a while. So i part with Tougeking and arrange another meeting later to take a ride in his Black Knight to see how to customize a set of rear suspension for him.
At around 6.15PM, we were on our way. Blasting up simpang pulai. Tougeking was driving bit slow (with air-con on, it's a hot day after all) due to the traffic on public holiday and with concern that my puppy cannot take the G-force of touge-ing.

After a short rest and some routine check on the car, we head back down. This time, Tougeking turn off the air-con and open the windows. He drive a bit faster for my puppy is ok with the g-force. (probably due to our few trip up teluk bahang in my Ranger. which has more body-roll)
This time, the rear suspension system show it's weakness. it rolls a lot during sharper corner and shift all the weight to a side where even the black knight was on AD07, the car was going over-steer and under-steer, but with tougeking's skill, he manage to make the car follow the lines he want it to go. overtaking cars while under-steering. Man, he can drive.
When we reach the lower checkpoint, to our surprise, a Avanza drove into the opposite lane where there's divider in the simpang pulai course. We quickly overtake him and warn the car a head about the Avanza coming over in wrong direction. Thankfully, no coming vehicles was driving fast. And the avanza make it back to correct lane safely.
After a hearty dinner in Woolley Food City,
we headed back home. I'll come to ipoh again next weekend to pick Mango up to prepare him for the up coming
Kg. Gajah Open Track Day.
mango and his loyal follower Ranger ^_^
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...
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~!
So out the old 1.6" and in the 2.3" ^.^ let's the operation begin~ finally, the EK9 centre bullet and the HKS muffler i buy over from McGuyver had finally found it's used.
Taking out the old exhaust. it's dunno what mid bullet and 5Zigen-copy muffler, which is extreme noisy in high rev. and yet, it's diameter was just too small the car feels heavy during 6~8K rpm.
5 minutes into the work, with 3 ppl working on mango, come an extra "hand", but this one is not a helping hand :P he just point and use his voice and help. (Mr. 12) 
chean is even-ing the edge of the bullet using only a oxygen torch, yikes~ darn he is good.
After 3 hours of cutting welding, arguing and so so~ it's finally done ^^, see how straight the flow is. perfectly matching the car's under carriage. (if you wan the exhaust to go under the axle, you gotta had a very short stroke absorber- in my case, 4 inches, 2 inch bounce, 2 inch re-bounce)
And guess what, the tire can't grip on the road anymore (in high rev) so the first thing i went back to factory, is install the 4 watanabe RS with RS2 on to mango. ^^ he really look handsome in those new shoes. 
So there we goes, everything going out... including the tiny little pump ^.^
out the old and in the new 
And lastly, in the new breakpad and mango was happy again ^^. 
The dunno what slight "banana" 4-2-1 with thermal wrap~ ^.^ yeah~
