Photoshopped : Rolla's New Look.

The original photo was shot by Ariff at MAEPS a month ago.

And since I already swapped my Oni for the Riverside, and the engine swap is still not done, and some free time, I decided to play with the Photoshop. The photo donor for the editing are:


Some Forza Motorsport image. Gotta love the Equip 01.

Here's the one I bought. Gonna pick it up tomorrow at Pagoh, Johor. The spec is 14' x 7j with +0 offset.


And the rear rim that I swapped the other day. I thought it was an Advan A3A, but later found out it is a Riverside. Nevertheless the spec is 14' x 8j with +0 offset. In this photo is the original A3A.

And some trimming here and there, this is the results. Not bad eh?

Home Sweet Home.

I am back. Back in KL. Gosh, I miss my room, my speaker, my parents of coz, and I miss KL especially the traffic jam. Gegegegege. So basically I got MC from doctor. Why? Currently suffering a backbone problem. I had been assuming that's the problem until I checked with Doc. Found out that my ligament between my left leg and my back had torn apart..

Thanks to skateboarding and picking up heavy stuffs. So now? I guess no more skateboarding and Doc told me to have a looooooong good rest. No sports, no heavy lifting, and no extreme activity. It is torturing me but I guess I need to bear with it until it is healed again.

In!

Looks like everything had taken their places. Bay had been repainted to black color and the engine had been sitting in its original position and cleaned. Rack and pinion arriving soon. So, just need a new piping set. From extractor till the muffler. My friend said it will be using a 2' piping instead of the original turbo piping which is 2.4'. And I'll be using Din's twin tip exhaust!

On The Floor..

Got an email today from my friend, telling me whats the update on Corolla.

Looks like both engine is on the floor already. Silverturbo had been 'scavenge' to 'complete' its younger brother, the Blacktrumpet. They took back my new alternator, and the timing belt. Also, the gearbox had been fitted into the Blacktrumpet.

 

Plan B : Blacktop.

Was about to get a good deal of 16 valve that came with new timing belt and clutch plate when someone else bought it first. Huargh. Already asked my friend to source another 16valve but most of em came with an expensive price tag. So, we initiated the second plan, which is the 20valve Blacktop.

Rolla on jack-stand again.. This time to swap the engine and also the steering rack.

Its On...

For the second time, I'm doing a 'long distance' conversion. The first one was a total failure. Pay a lot and not so good work. So lets hope this time it wont happen again. Yeah just hoping. Again...

Okay, so Corolla's turn is today. Been queuing for a few days before the workshop can finally focus on her. So, total project should be less than RM5000. That will include a 16v engine, wiring and ECU of course, new extractor maybe, T50 gearbox, an LSD (Not sure whether its 4.1 or 4.3 nor 1.5way or 2way), rack and pinion steering rack, and etc....


Waiting..

Sweet Sixteen.

After talking to my parents earlier, I'd decided to sell it as it is. I mean no transfer name, or as a track car, or spare part. While my dad told me to scrap it for good. Then I will use the money to buy a scooter so that I can travel much more cheaply in UTM campus. Naza GTR looks fucking nice, or maybe a Yamaha FZ.

Replacement Heart?

Today would be the day that I'll be going to Skudai. Will be convoying with my parents around 11am and Im still not sleeping. Great.. Gathering all the old write up and post it bulk is kinda suck but sorry, I am kinda busy lately. Almost everyday went to Wangsa Maju.Wkwkwkwkwk.

Previous Session II....

This was suppose to be my final run at MARDI and my final drift with Rolla, until the buyer decided to cancel. Zzzzz. Finding a buyer is already hard, and when I got one, then found out that the car got some problems. So fucking great.

So Ariff and some friends came for the so called final run. And all the photo credits goes to Ariff.

We were there at 6pm.


Da Stig! ROFLMAO.

Testing the Small Video Cam.

Shots were taken during the previous session. Mounted on the rollcage. Still need some alteration before can make a good recording. Meanwhile, enjoy the onboard video!

Previous Session...

Some oldddd post that should be posted a month ago. Ahaks!

Okay, so finally I decided to gave a few of my friends to drove Rolla for some sideways. While it was a pain in the ass looking at Rolla while they trashed it around, I guess sharing is caring. And also some chance for me to snap Rolla's photos!

And we rent the whole track that day for a private session which mean only us in the track.

Here's Ariff trying hard.
