Rolla's Final Prep.

Tomorrow will be sending Rolla to paint shop which mean I'm not gonna be driving Rolla for a few weeks. Huhu. There goes my toy for a few weeks. So, most of the items that I had ordered had arrived and with Ipin currently. Everything on the exterior will be brand new, and some of the stuffs that I took from Kay today are:

GL tail lamp. So now I have both DX and GL tail lamp.


Spanking new front and rear chrome bumper.


Plate number light for rear chrome bumper.


Cant wait for the final results of the paint job soon. And today I skip my afternoon class to get an insurance. Went to Uni Asia around 2pm, and took this number.


798! And guess the current number at that time? 690! And FOUR freakin' hours later, it was my turn and it took only 15 minutes to get the insurance! Wah, I waited for four hours just to settle 15 minutes procedure. Damn. Luckily, there is NO hassle at all and Rolla is insured for a year. Yay! And finally, Mr. JPJ can change the grant owner's name now.

And I went to PlayHouse Garage (PHG) the other day. Was thinking of making a vented hood but unfortunately, my engine bay is quite messy and too cramped, so I cant make it. Huhu. Monster Starlet in the making. One of the PHG's masterpiece.


Im getting interested with this color.


And a late birthday gift from my brothers. Taraa, a full face helmet! And it's white too!


And the awesome part is that I can remove half of the helmet. Sort of Transformers wannabe. Haha. And inside, there's a retractable visor too. More like shades design to me. Cool eh.


And some leftover photos from the drift practice the other day.

Lijet's MOVE-ing fridge. Awesome offset and hippari style.

The practise ground. I wish the tar is a bit smoother then it would be a perfect practise ground. Hehehe.

The crowds was pretty big. Most of the time, it was Din and me playing around. Kekeke. Din was having engine's trouble too this time.

Burnt spark plug is it? Hope the engine will get better soon!

Sunday Practise Again.

On 1.1.10, I went to Brother's Balakong to tint up my windows. Huah, finally some privacy. Cost me RM180 for all windows except the front screen. Cheap one only.

Getting the measurement.
Image

Almost done. I asked him to remove all stickers too.
Image

Brothers was having a clearance sale, so bought this cute perfume. 3 for RM10.
Image

This is 30% tinted, but I think it is a bit darker lah. Hmm.
Image

And on last Sunday, I went to Shah Alam again for another practise session. This time, Lijet came too. Lijet is a professional photographer and he's well known in KL. Y'all can see his S14 in the upcoming Evolusi KL Drift 2. So, here's some onboard video with him. The handphone holder did a great job. Good investment I think. How's my drifting going? ^^

New Year Donut..



Kekeke. My drift sucks. Happy New Year.

Final day in 2009.

Well, today after my class, I went back to my home. Around 11am. Too early to rest. So I went down and was doing some spring cleaning for Rolla's interior. And also fixing up the harness. Less messy this time. Rear seat is too dirty. Will find a better one once everything is done.


My N3 Fast front lip arrived yesterday. For those who are interested with this lip, the price is RM 200. Item is from Retro Bodykits.

I also took the opportunity to clean up the engine bay. Didn't dare to remove some of the wires and what not, so just surface cleaning. Would love to hide all those wires if possible.
Also, I went to post office to renew my insurance. And as expected, they didn't want to renew mine coz their quota is full. So went to other insurance agent, also full. Try the other two, also full. What the fuck is wrong with these companies? I want to pay them for my insurance also don't want. So, will try again on Saturday since tomorrow is New Year.

Bought this hand phone holder to record my onboard drifting. Would love to try this stuff on my next drift run. Hope this time this stuff will not detached under high speed cornering just like my old holder. Cost me a hand phone coz it fell on the track and consider it total lost. Hahaha.

My new handphone is cheap and multi function. Love it. It's Nokia 5800 Express Music. And the video recording is quite good.

Tyre Shop Visit.

Pussy offset (+39) rims with extra wide fender. Hahaha.


So, finally got a time to fit in the 1inch spacer.


And also swapping my rear rim with the Advan Oni. Offset is around +15.


How's the stance? Im thinking of retaining the wide fender.

Rolla's Sponsorship : Retro Bodykits.

First of all, I would like to say thanks to Mr. Jeyaraj of Retro Bodykits, Ipoh for giving me a sponsorship for my Rolla. So what did I get for a kick start?

A front lip/spoiler. This spoiler's code is N3 Fast. RM200.


N3 Arch. And in my case, the rim is 15', so the arch is design to suit 15'. Got a few sizes to match up your rim size. RM240.


So, that's all for a start. More stuffs from Retro Bodykits are:

N3 Cool. RM200.
Image

Starlet Rear Spoiler. RM180.

Here's some sample if you are take the N3 Cool, Rear Spoiler, N3 Arch. And the special price for this package is RM620 negotiable.
Image

Interested? Call Mr. Jeyaraj at 016 5418798, or email me at ammar_izbtho [at] yahoo dot com.

Location is based in Ipoh, Perak Malaysia. But posting can be arranged and world wide shipment too I think. Thanks! Will post more stuffs once I received the pictures and price.

Rolla's 1st Sideways..

Was suppose to relax at home today. Haven't got a day to rest this few weeks. Huargh. So, Din Longchamp called me today and asked me to join him for some sideways fun at Shah Alam. Not interested to join till he said he got some 15' tyres for me. Huargh. 4 pieces of em some more. Thanks man!

So, we waited at the Batu Tiga petrol station and the last person to arrive is Mr. Tanabe with his AE86 Tofuu! The same car that I had a chance to sit few days ago.
Image

And again, Din bought a set of Longchamp again! This time more offset and hippari style. Looks uber cool!
Image

We arrived at the local drift spot. People called it Extreme Park of Shah Alam I think.. Local group called the Budget Drifter usually came to practice here. They were super friendly too.

Image

And thanks to the Mr. Tanabe for giving me a chance to drift with his Tofuu AE86. Totally different handling feeling and raw power from the 4AGE. Love it!
Image

And officially, Rolla had been drifted. The power is there, but I need more improvement when handling the car. Still didn't familiar with the characteristic of Rolla. But I think Din's Rolla's handling is much better when I tested it at MAEPS the other day.
Image

One of the member of Budget Drifter told me that the Advan Oni is up for sale. I don't have any intention of buying it, but after the owner told me the price (Good one lah..), and they even try to fit it in. Looks good with the fender, so.. after thinking for awhile, I took the rims along with one inch spacer too.
Image

So, here's the spacer. Japan made and 1 inch thick. Thinking of putting it on front rims so that I get more angle and wider stance.
Image

Oh, here's some lame video of mine when testing the track. My lil brother recorded it. Sounds like he's having fun inside. Ignore the laughing and what not. Hehehe.

Here's the link.
