MARDI Private Session.

It happened last week actually but I was still kinda not in da mood to post shits. Right now kinda have a lil mood so its time to do bulk post again! So them, Mike, Cheryl, Hafiz, his friend and Uncle Yap were having a private session at MARDI. And me? As usual, being a busy body dude, I went there too. Just wanna go 'lepak' and NO drifting. That was the early intention. Yeah, you can rent MARDI track for private use at RM100 per day.

Cheryl, drifter girl in the making.

Uncle Yap ready to go back coz got some work to do. Hafiz wandering around.

Newly acquired KE70. Hafiz's car is put up for a proper use, sideways. Not like others, posers. Kekeke. No offense there. Not all, but some. My sifu already told me, its normal to have some posers among all. Its just me who cant accept it yet. Yeah, was having PMS recently. So kinda anything not related also got blamed.

See them just throwing away the tires just like that. Dayumm..

Update Progress = AE86 Fuel Tank into a KE70.

Okay so here's some progress today after Din drop by and swap me with his analog float:

The top one is digital float. And the bottom one is analog float.

Another shot between both of em. Note that the blue cover is digital type.

And here's comparison between the original KE70 float on the left and AE86 analog float on the right.

Head cover comparison.

And here's some basic color guide for the socket. The bottom one is white/black color, right side is red/yellow, and the left one is blue/yellow. And now, my fuel gauge is working. Everything settled.

And close encounter.. Almost. Almost. Luckily didn't hit Dad's car.

AE86 Fuel Tank into a KE70.

Holiday month! That's it. Finished my 1st semester and its time to do a lot of things as planned. Okay, so I had been holding up some stuffs that I wanna fit it into Rolla, and now its time to do it. First of all, is the AE86 fuel tank. Got it with a friend's help at a very affordable price.

There's few stuffs that is up for sale, like these but check on the Junkyard later aite?

And others like battery box, cut off switch, fuel gauge meter, and etc. The priority is the fuel tank coz I cant stand the fuel fume and heavy consumption anymore.

Photo & Event: Putrajaya Drift Run.

Decided to go for a drift fun before I went back to JB. And this time? I didn't bring any camera coz I wanna be free from camera. Or else I'll need to focus on two things which is drifting and snapping photos. Lucky me, Naufal and Kimi which is DSLR kaki are also in town. So why not?

Oh, and a few of my close friends (Which happened to be all chicks) come to give a support too! Thanks a lot guys! I appreciate it.

So we went around 12pm on the track. Freaking hot day too.

DIY : New Front Pannel.

My second busy day as today I am excited to do some work on Rolla. I dont have any experience on doing it myself but I give it a shot today. Started early in the morning. First thing that I did was spraying this new panel with undercoat. Few layers should do.

Then moving on to the next step was removing the whole face of Rolla.

Learned from my few experience when doing work; always make sure the work area clean and organize so that you wont miss anything when the assembling process.

Experienced : Stripping a Toyota KE70.

Here's some photos during the stripping process. Some asked why the owner wanna scrap the car, and here's the reasons.

*His in-law didnt like the car to be parked on the lot coz it had been there for a long time.
*The body condition is pretty bad. Gonna need at least thousand to restore the chassis.

So how do I met the owner? Initially I just accompany this dude, Wheng Chung (WC)to see this car coz he's getting one soon. The price was RM2000. So I was pretty fishy with the cheap price tag. And we check out the car. Since it is in bad shape, the owner wanna scrap it by next week if nobody's buying the car. So I offered myself to help selling his parts.

So Raya without your parents really sucks. You don't have any activity, there's nobody to tell you what to do, and there's nobody gonna bring me and my brother out. Huargh. Too bored and I went to local hardware shop and bought some stuffs.


Mini project began!

I have these two set of DX face lift. One is original Japan and the other one is a brand new from Taiwan. Gotta admit that the Taiwan one cant even imitate it properly.

Hari Raya AidilAdha 2010.

So this year, I didn't went back to my aunt's house at Rompin coz I need to accompany my second brother. He's having his SPM this Monday so grounded for awhile. Night before our Aidiladha, a friend of mine who just bought a DX Blackbelt came to my house and we went out for a drink. Just having a Corolla conversation most of the time. Here's a shot of the cars.

 

DX and DX Blackbelt.

Some New Toys..

Three papers down and three more to go before I finished my first semester in the second year of my learning course. Fuh! Unfortunately I'm gonna fail one of the paper due to super-duper-complicated Differential Equations. Somehow my brain really cant understand all those weird equations and derivatives and bla bla bla. Nevertheless, I rather take a short course to make sure my pointer stays more than 3.4.

Sideways with Steelies.

Aah, anyway, Rolla had been running with a broken fuel regulator (Must be the diaphragm worn out due to high pressure)  for a few weeks already and the consumption is really bad. This time; from KL to JB cost me RM70 fuel and then right afterward the Skudai Toll, the tank was empty. Hahaha. Ask a friend of mine to send some fuel and I'm back in campus. Anyway, the following weeks also were bad coz I spent RM50 to RM70 on petrol only and travel less than 200km.

And, I decided to order some parts to replace the regulator plus a few more items that I had been 'KIV'-ing for a long time. There's more I'm gonna order after this. Just waiting for it to become necessary first.

Recap : Rolla Spotted!

Found this on a friend's Facebook posting. Shot at MARDI around 2009 I think. Was just goofing around when I spotted something that ticked me to think it's Rolla with its previous owner. Went through with the video and yes, it is confirmed. The quiet engine sound, the super loud axle and the turbine whining, who else if it is not Rolla!



Check out 3.21 and 4.20.


2009!

Video : GT Radial Drift Putrajaya.

Full video footage of me during the event. By Zamil Syaheer. Thank you sooo freaking much for the effort bro.

GT Radial Drift Putrajaya.

So, I woke up early at 6am coz too excited and also nervous for my very first drift competition. Packed up my usual stuffs for drift event, such as my helmet, few drinking bottle, water spray, my trusty blue towel, then all my tires and rims. Went to petrol station, fill Rolla with RM50 petrol and increasing the tire pressure. Front is 35bar, and 40 for all the rear set. Straight to track then.


Arrived around 7.45am and I thought Im gonna be the only person there, but there's already few of them waiting earlier than me. Even the management arrived around 8.30am.

 

Competition Preparation.

So, after been 'jacked' by a few friends of mine, I finally decided to join a novice drift competition tomorrow at Putrajaya. Gonna be there at 7am to test the car before deciding to join or not. If didn't get the feel, then I'll just snap photos for tomorrow's event. For tomorrow and the future, Rolla will be equipped back with its 2nd pump and surge tank. Cant stand the fuel surge anymore. So I went back to the workshop that did the engine conversion to get my stuff back and fit it in back there.

 Arrived early yaw!

Photography : 50mm & Rolla.

 Started to love butt shot now!

Back to KL.

Finally. After going through up and down this semester, 29.10.2010 marked the last day in our semester. And my last paper was Hydraulic at 9am today. Struggle the whole Thursday just to make sure I can answer it. Even sacrificing my sleep for it. And straight to class and exam.


Anyway, glad its over already. Yes, I screwed up a few subjects this semester thanks to the problem that had been bugging me since July. And yeah, I'm recovering from it. More post means I'm getting better day by day. Okay so I didn't sleep last night, and after the test, I decided I want to get home before evening. Earlier wanna get a bus to KL, but instinct told me I better ride Rolla so that my study leave/holiday will not be so boring. So, packed everything and I'm ready to go!
 

12.45pm. 300km trip.

Random : Take Five.

From KL to JB and now its time to go back home. Did some observation on the way back home. I'll post it tonight. Snapped at R&R Ayer Keroh. Its been awhile since I used my 50D. Tomorrow gonna do some upgrading on the fuel system, and MAYBE on Sunday, I am joining a drift competition at Putrajaya if everything goes well.

Like it? Hate it? I know the car is tall. I'll slam it back if anyone want to do a photo shoot.

Saturday..

My problem in JB is that I don't have a proper Internet connection in my college. Yes, I have Maxis 3G Internet for my iPhone but that is for mobile surfing and really not suitable for blogging. For blogging, I need a lot of time and a proper Internet or else I will not have the mood to type some shits. And yes, WiMax, you sucks. It didn't have any signal in my room, and I had been trying to terminate the service. And yes, WiMax didnt have a lot of centers here in JB. The nearest one is located near Tebrau which is quite far from Skudai. So, only when I went to the library I will have the connection I need.

Some hyper-speed at the library! Mind you this is the ground line speed. Not WiFi.

So the problem is; I'll write a lot of stuffs and with different title and in one go. So for now, I'll do bulk post till I have the proper line.

Accessory Shop Visit.

I'd been busy with Rolla since she arrived in JB with me. Kinda excited every day coz there's still a long to-do list with Rolla. So here's another session.



Finally its time for Rolla to have some proper audio. The old speaker is still running good, but every time I turned on the radio, the exhaust note is actually louder than the speaker's sound. So, time to swap to a new speaker. Just some cheapo China speaker and a new tweeter.
