After almost 6 months of recuperation, the FC3S is finally taking its shape. But this time, he is meaner and hungry for more menial action :D
Nevertheless, the FC not really in his 100% form yet. There are still plenty of things need to be added before it can go at its fullest. For the time being, we are took it for a quick stroll over Genting Highlands over a random weekend :p
It was Friday and neither Keisuke nor I visited Genting Highland recently, which means both of us had forgotten the corners and curves there >.< The result? Yes, we were touge-ing very slowly and painfully xD Although I have given my Ragnarok to my brother, buck heck I still need my fullface helmet for some vanity shots :p
What we did after being on top of Genting Highland for just over 30 minutes? Yes, went straight back home :p
This is an attempt to clear some of the backlogs that I have kept for quite some time. First of all, please don’t be surprised by the title. Yes, the FC3S once again hit rock-bottom. This incident happened at 21st March 2010 during our outing at Sungai Tekali touge route.
The culprit of this incident, which obviously not the owner yet again, was Keisuke >.> The story began when Keisuke decided to met Hanz because he was using the FC temporarily. Hanz invited us for a drink in an Arabian restaurant somewhere near the Pavilion. So we chat for a while and invited a few Satria Neo gang over to Sungai Tekali touge, and we are off.
Today somehow I got the chance to blog although being busy with work as usual. I decided to stop by at the nearest Perodua and Naza/Kia car showrooms to take a look at the new car models which are Alza and Forte.
Perodua Alza, I can't call this a MPV?! It is a bit small and can be cramped especially at the back seat. Another moving-coffin in the making >.>
Kia Forte, absolutely beautiful >.< Kia has finally came our with a very competitive car which can fight the overrated and overpriced Toyota Vios and Honda City (shame on you, Proton). I just can't believe how many sophisticated gadgets equipped with the car, but the price is less than those 2 cars >.<
Seriously, I have a thought of selling my Climhazzard already for an exchange to get this car >.>
It was beyond my imagination someone actually willing to take a snapshot of the FC3S during our run on the track day. Plus, it was from someone related with quite-well-known automotive blog. So the result is this:
And the aftermath of the snapshot:
Yes, we are the laughingstock of the whole Malaysia now =p
It was fun, it was exciting, it was heart-throbbing, it was nerve-wrecking, it was adrenaline-pumping, but basically, it was FUCKING AWESOME xD
A furious Civic on the loose
Pit Stop =D
The last word basically sums up all the excitement we had during the open track day at the Sepang F1 Circuit that was held on 18th January 2009. It was a new level of experience (the Final Fantasy’s fanfare should be the background music here =p ) for both Keisuke and me in term of the art of suicidal racing (because that what we always do xD )
350z a.k.a Fairlady
The younger brother, FD3S
The day started when Keisuke called and invited me for the track day. Oh well, I got nothing to do (but actually I need to clean my room though >.>), so might as well tag along =) As we went along, finally we arrived at the entrance. To our surprise, the entrance fee is not like what our mechanic said, RM100 for a car and RM10 for each driver, but it was a staggering RM200 per driver >.< So rich man of the day, Keisuke paid for his hell-ride ticket =p
Altezza belongs to Hau's friend
Imprezza yummy!
Nevertheless, the atmosphere is not really welcoming us. The super hot weather, plus seeing a lot of highly tuned and pimped cars all around us really smashing our motivation piece by piece as the FC3S is just a PIECE OF JUNK compared to others xDDD Anyway, it was first time we are there, so better make the RM200 spent worth >.>
S2000 and Civic Type-R
S14
The first mission, find our mechanic, Hau, failed as he seemed didn’t picking up the phone. Second mission, find a pit garage area so we can put the FC3S, but all garage occupied by other teams >.< Third mission, don’t care anymore, we want to get into the track, but WHERE THE HECK IS THE WAY TO THE PIT LANE? x_x We took the car wandering around until Keisuke thought that at the end of the pit area, there should be a road that we can enter the pit lane. Thank God, his animal instinct sometimes can be useful too =p
Waiting for the green light again
Bimmer also don't want to miss the fun
So the moment of truth, we slowly drive through the pit lane to the exit. Everyone was like looking at us with face expression “WHAT THE FUGLY CAR IS THAT?” xD (due to FC3S is currently having quite plenty of color theme =p ). But upon reaching the end, it turned out that the lights are RED, meaning that there has been an accident and they are cleaning the track right now. No choice but have to wait under the scorching sun while the FC3S’s oil temperature slowly increasing to 100 degree Celsius x_x
Seriously, too many Imprezza
The Godzilla by Nissan
The V-tec won't lose either
Finally, the moment of we have been waiting for, the GREEN LIGHT xD So off we go carve a new history in the circuit =p As a total Uber Noob with the track, we decided to drove slowly in order to learn about the track. But it turned out was a completely bad idea as people overtook us like no tomorrow >.< To add more salt to the wound, everyone were damn fast except us which leads to us having mental breakdown and inferiority complex and want to go back home immediately! xD Plus, thanks to Keisuke was driving not in the normal racing line, we took every corner horribly and received the full treatment of the side-G xD
The yummy arse lol
The Godzilla ain't stop multiplying
Anyway, after a few rounds, we managed to get used to the Sepang track. Finally, we can smoked a few cars and proud of the tiny puny achievement we made xD But still, we simply can’t beat the Imprezza and cars with higher REV limit during the straight line =.= Lastly, the mother of all disaster, the Godzilla, the new Nissan Skyline GTR (a.k.a R35) was simply the GOD of the track day, being unbeatable in every aspect, while taking corners while other cars just standing still =.=
Lets zoom into that sexy arse baby, hahahaha
The 'senior' won't give up without a fight
R34 M-Spec Nur
Well anyway, we continued to enjoy our fun ride in the track. Everyone there came there prepared (spare tyre, mechanics, car jacks, and etc…) compared to us who came only bring the car, wallet, and our gut xD Seriously, next time, we at least need to bring some water!!! Because in the end, both of us were dehydrated x__x
Simply untouchable, overtook everyone like nobody business and smoked them hard *respect*
Nevertheless, it was a fun experience doing it on the real track as the track is much wider than normal road during touge session, meaning more room to correct mistakes. Even Keisuke took the chance to getting used on how the FC3S behave during power-over drift. Oh yeah, basically we are drifting all over the track due to improper car setting. Oh hell, like we care =p Thanks to that, every car got scared to overtake us during cornering because anytime we can go haywire xD
Lastly, for those out there, make sure to take this advice, make sure you use the racing line properly, or… You will suffer the excessive dosage of G in each corner like me in the first round xD
Hmmm… it has been a long time since I updated about Shiro Suisei’s condition and upgrades. Well, now is the time to do it =p
After a few months of recuperating, Shiro Suisei is being assembled with new parts piece by piece. The only drawback from this outcome, the car has a brand new colour theme >.>
Well, we are still in the process of assembling it back together, painting will be done later, no money at the moment <.<
But no matter how powerful and extravagant the car looks... It will never passed a police road block for the time being with this kind of road tax =p *pwned*
Part 1 As usual, the notorious Ryosuke never ceased to amaze us with his sudden godforsaken attic, the sudden plan =p A few days after the nightmare ride to Kuala Kelawang touge, Ryosuke called “Yo cloud, tonight we’ll hit the touge at mantin!!!” and my usual reply “What the *censored*!!!”
This time we used Meteorain as the method of transportation. Due to the horrid nightmare adventure where we were clueless about the exact location of the touge, this time I personally brought my laptop that comes with Google Earth installed >.> Thanks to the Google Earth, the journey went out smoothly without any problem and relying on the good-for-nothing Ryosuke >.>
Look, my Meteorain is equipped with a LCD monitor =D
Nah... it was just my laptop =p Navigating the roads using Google Earth
Anyway, as been mentioned, the journey went smoothly due to the help from Google Earth. We decided to take an alternative road to there using Broga, the road heading to the Nottingham University. I guess it was a bad choice as the road was in a very bad condition x_x Nevertheless, we managed to arrive safely at the touge spot =D
Overview of touge at Mantin using Google Earth
Mantin is located in Negeri Sembilan where beside the Negeri Sembilan and Selangor border. This touge course located at the Matin Industrial centre to be exact. The course actually was quite beautiful as there are a few hairpins corner waiting for any touge enthusiast to tackle it. But… the bad thing here is the animals that tend to sleep in the middle of the road >__< During our journey, a dog was sleeping in the middle of the road. When we passed it, the dog still decided to sleep in the middle of the road x_x Besides that, there are a few traffics there, so need to pay extra attention. The course itself was quite short but very enjoying nevertheless =)
As usual, some memento before leaving =p
PART 2 A few days after, Ryosuke again decided to visit mantin touge, but this time with FC and Metorain as an escort. Turbo Jr decided to join the adventure this time. All of us taking turn in the FC attacking the touge. 2 of us board the FC while another 2 will stay back at Meteorain. This time even more surprise greeted us on the touge. The dog still sleeping in the middle of the road, plus a group of dogs relaxing on the road, and 3 FREAKING COWS sleeping on the road too x___X It was so dangerous! In the end, we touge with a little bit reserved in speed.
Anyway, during Keisuke turn, shit happen. We ran into a police car lol. The police just passed by us and at the same time we tried to contact Ryosuke to warn about the incoming police, but failed because there is no freaking telephone coverage there. After a while, Keisuke and I decided to go back and hoping the police was already gone. Upon reaching the area, the police was still there x_x Keisuke had a brilliant idea “Lets pretend we don’t know them!” xD So we acted we never knew them… upon passing by, Ryosuke blasted out cover by calling us x__X Oh well, both Keisuke and I decided to stop. Then the police car passed by us and went on left us. Phew… trouble gone. Ryosuke drove to us. It was learnt that the police was asking Ryosuke what they are doing there. He answered he was waiting for his friends at the back (us =p ). So they were waiting for us actually. If both Keisuke and I were just totally ignored Ryosuke, they would already end up in the police cell that night xDDD
Sending Turbo Jr back home after the tiring and suspense touge adventure
Whatever, we decided to head back since the police disturbance and I didn’t had the chance to tackle the corners due to the police >_< Oh well, maybe next time then =)
