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.

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.
