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.
Picture of his Beautiful Black Knight on the check point.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.
(check out the video in tougeking's blog
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.

Wow! Didn't know Mango is ready to be picked up next week! It will be awesome!!!
Oops, sorry that i forget to tell you. Actually mango is still waiting for the 'paper' for engine swap. But i will take it back to set up the exhaust first for the up coming Kg. Gajah open track. But will send him back to Uncle Choi after the event, that day.
The army of 20 valve are rising!!!
