Summer Cleaning~

After driving with the current settings for a year and so~ i start to feel that mango wasn't responding to the throttler as he used to be before the body restoration..... perhaps i had to get some 'upgrades' for mango had putting on quite some weight ^^ (now fully carpeted and an extra 60kg of steels from the body strengthening + rusted panel replacement)

So as usual, i send mango to McGuyver's hand to get it clean up and do some minor adjustment~(it was actually a week before lol~) and he just send me the pic yesterday~ 

 We removed the original SVT head and take a look at the piston~

 And to what we had been guessing...... thick layer of carbons had build up on it~

 and another look at the head as well, it looks ok as my oil change was very frequent~ around every 3000~3500KM on semi 10W40 oil~

 So the cleaning started, start by brushing off the carbon from the piston~

 Then comes the minor 'upgrades'~ BT head with polished port~ and CLEAN up nicely with alkaline base cleaning fluid~

 My HKS plug also received a nice bath~ hohoho~

 And after all was cleaned~ in the new gasket, which is not that expensive for something that would last this much pressure and it's ORIGINAL from toyota~ ^^

And the clean and polish-ed BT head~ It did give me a bit more torque @ lower rpm, 2.5k~ 5k with better respond @ 4-5 gear range~

And the best part is~ It save on fuel compare to before the cleaning~ (^.^)~ yeah~!!!!!! more $$$ to pay for other parts~ lol~

lol~ what's going round and round???

About the pic i show you before in my last post~ which i said there's something to it~

This is it~ enjoy ^^

KGC - Retro Race 2 05-06-2011

5.45A.M.~ hohoho~ can't remember when's last time i wake up this early in the morning ^^. And leave the house @ 6.45am. Then meet up with fujiwara 83 @ Changkat Jering around 7.45~ and we were on our way to Kg Gajah. It was nice to drive this early morning, enjoying the cold breeze of the country side winding road~  

And finally arrived at KGC just little after 9~ we were driving pretty slow, just to enjoy the drive. 

 My bro was driving my Ford Ranger this time, bringing the tyres and tool box ^^can't afford to run A048 on road and some more afraid it's gonna rain, for A048 is bloody slippery in wet (>_<)

 Some cars already arrived much earlier than us~ hoho~ but again.... where's the real RETRO???

 Ah Han and the girls was busy 'checking' us in~ hohohoho~ 

Every contestant was feasible to become a member of PMSC (perak motor sport club- if i wasn't mistaken~ )

 It was soon start filling ups with cars around 10am

I only took the C (1600cc) group~ btw, i was just went there to stretch my muscle, getting old ya know~ lol And mango hasn't let loose it's breath for a long time already.  

 This car i like~ A KE26 with 86's heart and axle~ 

 Love the rims~ really old school~ DEEP dish STEEL wheels~ deng.

Btw, this is some real retro, too bad it wasn't going down the track at all...... (most of them didn't) 

A sneak peek into the hood and what you know~ the spare was in the front~!

Bt mid day, though the morning blazing sun had start cooking my skin, the sky seems to think another way, it's seem to be a bit moody. 

I still haven figure out what happened to the car, smoke just keep poofing out from no-where. 

Jeya and his lovely GF, keep your question~ i didn't know much of a details~ XD 

Only Hachiruku Coupe on the day~  

 Nicely keep KE and properly tune as well, i manage to have a few fun laps with him~ good driver.

Only breed of the days. 

Only FF car in Group C. Bloody fast machine~  

Will fill you in with something cute with this pic later on next post, stay tune~ XD 

So...... this was the thins they used to write the number on my car...... ic ic 

 The view of the track.... partly though. wish i got a fish-eye lens to capture a wider view~ (>_<)

anything particular with this??? 

Girls of the days, busy putting stickers on our cars. Really a hard work for them under such hot weather~  Thanks Girls~ ^^ 

 Some of  the miss haps of the day, and also some of the reasons i decided not to take part in the Race later afternoon.

 Love the rims, thought not really clear in the pic, but deng shinny in real time~! 

Rotary power-ed 808 

 Around 4.30pm, and last peek of the track then we leave and hit our way home~ didn't really manage to took many pics for my hand was busy with the steering~ lol, and a bit light headed from a busy day+lack of sleep a night before. All i can think that time is my air-coinditioned room and my cosy bed~

not that clear in the pic, but i tell you, his face was deng RED~ lol, we all were~ hahahaha~  

For 4 years i had been visiting KGC and run the Terong-Bruas-Titi Gantung-Kg Gajah route and never i knew there's actually a chinese stall selling proper chinese food in Bruas (>_<)~ wth~!!! 

Finally, reaching Changkat jering tol means only an hours drive away from home~ Sweet cosy bed awaits me..... lol~ 

Tired n sleepy......

Just post one pic first, will do with the rest tomorrow.

all ready to be on the way~ 

..... for now~ ^^ good night~

KGC~! I'M Back~!!!!!!!

It's had been 482 days since my last post~ and 545 days since my last track day (>_<)~ really miss all the track actions~ burning rubbers~ fume of toasted clutch and brakes~

For i was ensuring i get myself a nice and cozy family first~ ^^ With my wife and my new born daughter staying cosily in the house~ I got myself a GREEN LIGHT from me wife~ XD~ yeah~!

So i dug up my OLD Advan Neova A048, and i do means very old indeed. It's a 05 tyre... (shh... dun tell JPJ) and had them transfer to a new set of rims - from 14" 6jj to 14" 6.5jj, which is much proper for a 195/65 tyre.

Just hope these baby still had some soul in it~ ^^ hohoho~ KCG, here i come XD~
