Once Upon a Time..

Was browsing the Youtube for 20v noise, and looks like someone rescued some of the Tougeking's videos. I know he had a bad reputation with some of them, but hell yeah, he's one dedicated petrol head. From the blog, to the videos.

Unfortunately, back when I knew him, I barely know about cars especially the 4A-GE. Only know I finally knew he's running with 20v. I forgot whether it is a Blacktop or Silvertop. Huargh, I wish I asked him what was his car's spec.

Thanks to him, I got a chance to enter a track day, and it is because of his blog I finally become a blogger. After reading his blog for awhile, I finally decide to buy myself an old school. All started because of his blog.

Y'all can check his Sepang Track Day video here. And lucky me, I got to sit in his car on a touge course on Cameron. Also there's a video here.

Oh. here's his car though. I wonder what happened to him and the car?

Sideways.


On the other hand, I guess my car is following his car, from the engine till the exterior, even the rims. LOL. I'll do the black hood too soon.

Photography : Ipoh Trip!

Here's some of the cars that I managed to snap during my Ipoh trip. And I think all of em' will be featured in the My Rides magazine soon. But, the final decision is up to the editor, whether they want it or not. Nevertheless, here's a sneak preview of the cars.

Feature : Tougeking Track Day, 12.4.09

Was looking at Tougeking's blog and just to share a few stuffs that attract my attention:

A supercharged 4k engine!

And, S on the track. Kinda rare to see a female driving on track.

And the vids of her driving:


Just wanna to make Mok interested again in racing thingy. And all stuffs were shamelessly copied from Tougeking's blog.

Few things updated!

Lets see some updates that had happened in this few days.

Lets start with the Bumble Bee problems. The troubles mostly was becoz of my lack funds. So kinda sad with the car, and make me almost wanna kick the door till bent. And so on. No money, no repair can be done, JPJ thingy; more money need to spent to make it a proper looking to please the inspector on duty. Ok, so the car had passed the Puspakom test, therefore less one problem. Others was like... Replacing important parts, but Im short on cash. Greeeaaat~ Nevertheless, there is always someone that you can rely on, and of coz its my parents. Thanks mom and dad :D

And.. Cancelling rim deal with Jeya, coz wanna pay for the replacement stuff, then Dad came along to help it, so the rims deal is on back. Jeya and TK also help me with few 'stuffs'. And for someone to understand other people problems ( I complaint to TK pulak! Hahaha.), that is what I called a true friends! And also not forgetting Mok and Jaguh!!! :)

Emm.. Cant wait to take my new rims! Argh, cant resist Jeya's offer somehow; 13' 7j -30! What model? Typical oldschool rims! :P Babywolfz @ Josh will send it to me by next week. Sweet~

So, that's all for 808 trouble. The car is with me less than 1week, yet I had spent extra RM2000+ for replacement parts, repair, inspection, insurance, roadtax, bla bla bla. Really gimme a headache!

Today's pic:

Bee meets Jaguh's KEtam. We need a green car, so that it can become 'Traffic Light!'
Damn, Jaguh's KEtam looks and feel much better than mine except his KEtam had been smoked by Bee in 3rd gear :P

Getz had been replaced with most of itsOEM parts back. Im sorry Getz T_T

And Mok also is upgrading! Her Mawi had been slammed and kissed a lot of bitumen lately. And what now? Front diffuser! So now, its 4fingers from the ground! Damn~~~ So now, before we are going anywhere, we have to decide which route should we take, which one we should avoid, which car is more suitable! LOL! Sendiri cari pasal!

That's all for now. Wanna sleep. It was a hard day for me.

Attention -> TK only.. Hahaha.

Im surprised coz my pics suddenly many people want. Coz most of my pics is crappy and mostly I captured is just for kenangan. So, MOST of the pics was my car, your car, and other's car that I knewed(ex: Josh@Babywolfz) OR attractive car(R34, EG, etc) only. I thought nobody is interested with the pics, so that's why I only post a few pics on the internet.

So, these are the risk if you want my pics:
*Some are blurry pics. Need to photoshop a bit.
*Same car's pics. Yours and mine almost 40-50%.
*At the same spot only, coz I cant afford yet to buy a long lense.

Good sides:
*If you want to make a report, my pictures maybe enough to tell how happening the day was.
*Mostly, panning pictures is your car.
*You can help promote my name as a photographer that charged a reasonable price. lol.
*Maybe next time, you can bring me go to event as a photographer cum participant. lol also~

So, if I want to charge, I can charge more. but Im asking for Rm100 only. You can pay as much as you want after looking at the pictures. Depends on your satisfaction. I count it as a first time service coz my intention that day was to have fun on track and taking pics for fun also. Sorry to say, I dont know how to send these stuff except by CD. COD is prefferable but since we both stay in a different state, the best I can think is by post. lol.

There is a risk when Im doing this. Last time, it was for drift event. I had been payed RM100 for a FEW events, and after they are already exposed and famous, they didnt bother to call me anymore which is quite a loss to me. Sigh. I should have been charged them more back then. Coz all the time, in my mind, 'kawan la..tak kan nak charge extra..' In the end, all I can say to myself is 'Habis madu, sepah dibuang'.

Im stupid? Yes, I always been.

Oh, soon I'll buying a longer lense soon, then I will be charging more. Extra fees for my extra equipment. Hahaha. Right now feel guiltylah to charge extra coz Im using a kit lens only :) After this, Im thinking of charging Rm0.50 per photos. Raw and unedited. Like this, for sure Im going to snap more than 500++ pics. HAHAHAHA. lol. Jokin only.

Some original pics. No editing except resizing.

Your friend. Hehehe.

Josh.

Look like a standard Wira to me.

2trophies and 1 dent mark. Ok la tuu..

I hate Kelisa now. Huh!

Just a few pictures for TougeKing. His car? Damn chun handling. My first time riding inside a 4AGE car. Seriously. Hahaha. All the time, I was riding inside a car with SR20DET and RB20DET only. lol. Sweet moment? No doubt. KE70? Respect! Power power. Hahaha. Faster lah Jaguh! Convert your KE70's engine!

If you ( TougeKing) wanna a copy, dont ask me to email it coz I dont know how to attach them. Sorry, Im not an IT person. Hahaha. But I can send you a CD copy of the event's pics by post I guess. Dont know if can reach safely or not.



Some pics:


S's KE70. (S is TougeKing partner. Girlfriend? Wife? I also dont know.). Oh, dont be fooled by the KE70's appearance! Standard look + standard interior doesnt mean the car is standard!


TougeKing at his best trying to open the bolts.
(Why the picture blur? Damn it. Supposely it's sharp. Click on the pic for sharper image.)



And finally, TougeKing gived up on his rear bolts. Hehehe. Sorry, Im not a helping person at that time. Kekeke.


One of the nicest pic I managed to capture. (Of course, in my opinion lah)


The fastest KE70 on the track.

Wah, later S will smack you 'kaw-kaw.' No doubt. LOL.


Flags up! The race had finished. Talking bout a rare moment on the finishing line.


He bolot all the trophies available. Can belanja me makan besar like this.

Just reached KL few hours ago. Im tired. Im sleepy already. But, I do have fun on the track today! Yes I am! Despite losing the mini race. Today I came here just to have fun on the track and learning how Getz behave under certain pressure. I would like to say thanks to Tougeking for the ride in his CRAAZZZZY-spec KE70 and his gf's ( S = Stephanie right?) drift-spec KE70 (Her car looks standard. Inside out! Seriously!). And thanks also for the guide! It really helps.

At first, I dont have any confidence at all coz all the other cars looks very powerful. I guess Im the only standard kilang spec over there. Nahh.. here's some pics!

TougeKing giving me some racing line guide and a professional guide.

Team 'Pisang'. Dont care. I just wanna have some fun!

Cooling down Getz after being pushed hard.

The slowest, the only auto car, the only Korean car, the only really-standard car, and the list goes on....

I already in the last place even before the race started! TougeKing should put me in front. Barulah fair!!!! lol. Talking bout a sluggish tranny and slow car here. Ish Ish.
My excuse for getting last place :


Before going back to KL. Deflate back the tyres pressure back to normal. TougeKing advised me to put 40psi for front and 35psi for rear for track purpose.
