Engine - Out. Cage - In? Part II.

Okeh.. So here's today's update!

Around 5pm, went to Dworks in Sri Kembangan to pick up my half-cage. Took it and went straight to Jeembo's Garage in Kajang. As usual, they did it pretty fast. Engine is done. Only wiring left.

Tested the roll cage. Earlier, Dworks mentioned about the cage; originally it was fitted in a Corolla KE35, then modified to fit Corolla KE70. So, test time!

Fit like a glove?


Head room clearance. Superbly ngam also.

And another view. The plan is to bolt it on. Not weld it. So that I can remove it anytime for daily usage. Dont want too much issue with JPJ.

Drift e-brake button for easier hand braking method.

And the engine. Not going to paint it orange. Wanna keep its original identity.

And if anyone noticed, actually Rolla is somehow following Tougeking's ex-KE 70 exterior actually. And even the 20valve almost the same and the half cage too. Oh well, where is he now eh? He's a good teacher. Even his driving on Cameron scared me to death. Got a chance to had a ride last year. Hohoho.


Anyway, Im going to Melaka tomorrow. Three days of holiday. So goodnite world!

Engine - Out. Cage - In?

After my final paper, rushed to JMG to checked what's the updates with Rolla. Arrived, still saw them working on my engine. Damn, they did it pretty fast. Didn't have a chance to see the internal and the process. Was greeted with Rolla when I arrived.

Hey hey. "How are you doing man?"

 Checked the bay. Somehow no rust. A bit crack at the suspension tower and caster holder. And that's all. The rest still in good condition. And about the crack, will spot weld it.


And the engine on a stand. Pretty much done. All cleaned and sealed! Hopefully no more leaking after this. And the internals? Pretty much stock said Jeembo.



 Dunno what to describe. Since everything had been replaced. Some close up.


I was hoping to see some surprise but unfortunately no. Stock and no aftermarkets. Kekeke.



And after that, me myself went to a few half-cut shops around Cheras area. What is wrong with me eh? Wandering alone. Hm hm. Ok, so my final destination of the day was Dworks in Sri Kembangan. Actually just wanna window shopping, and asked them this joke question coz I was expecting 'No' as an answer. Asked them whether they have half-cage for KE70 or not, and they told me they have it!


Then again, asked them the price and I wanna see the item. Price quoted and I checked it. And its SOLD! Paid a sum of deposit, and will take it tomorrow. Also bought a handbrake button for drifting.





So? My '3 years at UTM' gift for myself? A roll-cage!
