mango check-ed in~

The first time i saw my naked mango in the morning light, he seems so miserable. I feel so sorry for letting him staying under the hot sun for so long - exposing his front chassis in the hot sun and rain T-T~ 
Finally i had time to pick him up and send him to 'hospital' to fix his wear-ed and torn body. 
hooking up to the tow truck (with a 'ke-po' indian child who we dunno who's watching dangerously close)
tie-ing up mango's axle to the support beam, so mango won't accidently fall off the support beam.
checking the steering lock and tie on the 'evo-style' side tow plate ^.^ 
on the way ... 
after 2 hours of slow drive (i ask my uncle to drive slowly, make me heart-ache listening to mango's cried going over hump and bad road surface on just two wheels...)
We drop mango off at Ah-lai - Lai Kian Spray Painting : Ah lai - +60164025519

The boss Ah Lai was a really good dude. (compare to his brother :P - just plain rude) he slowly discuss with me on what's suppose to be done to mango, as i wanted mango to be able to survive harsh track day condition. He give me some idea of places to strengthen and places needed rebuild and so. 
At least i had found someone who was willing to take mango in to work on the complex and time consuming re-work. 
Will update  soon after i finish building mango's fiber mudguard. ^.^ till then~ 

cheers~

Mango going into hospital again T_T...

after a harsh effort driving mango back to resort (where stop to refill water 3 times for the 2km drive, and alternately kill the engine and glide it for the engine keep squeezing the water out from the radiator) i finally get mango back to the resort. And the next day, after the engine was icy cool, i remove the water valve which had been jammed and hopefully mango will roar again in happiness... but with no prevail.. the water still rushing out, which means i had a leaked head gasket. so i call up my uncle and he send a tow truck to fetch mango to his partner's workshop.

which later only found out it wasn't a "tow" truck at all~! it's a car carrier!

mango is getting a truck ride~ ^_^~!
really feel lucky for my mango, he dun have to go through the pain of dragging on it's two wheel only.


don't mango look good on the car carrier ^.^ he really looks like a track car~
and the carrier's driver was very nice, very gentle on tying up mango so he won't get all over the place on the back of the truck. and the price to pay for the trip was very resonable.

so as for next time, who ever love his car much had a stalled car around ipoh or Kg Gajah, feel free to call his number ^_^
