Finally~ i got mango some fresh rubbers~

For the last few years, I only manage to get mango some second hand rubbers for mango to run on. As my old Yokohama A048 was already 7 years old and my turning G(force) had exceed the harden-ed rubber's limits. For i think it's time i should get mango some fresh rubbers to burns on. And Fortunately i received a un-beat-able offer from my friends who is BIG in tyre business in my region.

Prop shaft taken out, fix, install back~ in a jiffy~

All and all, the next morning when i took the prop shaft down and only remember that i'm running a T50 from a 2T engine. Which means it had the same small coupling as a KE does~ ouch~!

 A slight comparison to the 'shoe' size~

 Out with the broken, and in the new. I was amazed how easy it was. Just take out the pin which lock the cap in, then gently (not really needed for it's broken, isn't it?)  remove the coupling cap from both side and you can take the + section out already. 

 Same way you would install it back, slot in the + section of the coupling then slide the cap in from both side. BE EXTRA CAREFUL  here for the bearing in the cap might fall off if you dun take cautious. 

 And a tiny-winy happening in the coupling cap until you can fit in the new clips. It's done~ 

And lastly, RIP my worn, torn, broken coupling~ 

Mango sleep out, without it's shoes~

Mango had to spend a night in front of the factory for his prop shaft was sitting on the ground after an unsuccessful attempt to do a power u-turn. The front coupling snapped (>_<) 

So i had to took out all 4 wheels and ECU and lock them up in the office. Who knows anyone will come to try to make some easy bucks, especially during these harsh times.

KGC 26-02-2012 BC-M Track day ~ Part 3

Car park properly planned~ and organized

All parked and let their cars rest from a long journey drive.

And the drives also having a tea break at the newly added cafeteria. 

Here's the guys.

KGC 26-02-2012 BC-M Track day ~ Part 2

The signature bird you would see a lot of time in KGC or pasir salak area.

 A few snapshot around the circuit before all the drivers arrive~ 

 Now we had cones at each corners to 'assist' the driver to follow the racing line.

 Good thing the track is starting to dried up nicely. Or most (i would say it's not a good trend) cars was running either toyo 888 or equal semi-slick tyres.

 The big corner infront of the grand stand.

First car coming in is our bro Suhaimi. with his notorious Mivec-wira.  

 and the queue follows~ 

 nice evo~ 

 one eye monster~

 with family~

 Car's queuing up to be inspected and putting in it's proper classes. 

 Checking the engine to ensure it's safe and in good condition to run on track.

Double check to ensure everything is tie down and no leakage.
