She's Smokin' Hawt?Not so...

My car's progress has been slow and it still needs a few more fixes till it's ready to go sideways. Worn out hoses, worn out engine parts and not to mention also the standard clutch she still uses needs to be replaced. Also, she's missing a wing or a spoiler for her looks to be complete. Agree?

Last week when I was at Speed Effect Autoworks. Tomiya suddenly appeared and then suddenly he dissapeared, the next thing I know is he is back with a plastic bag in his hands. He handed me this plastic bag and I was like huh what's this? After that, I heard him saying Happy Birthday. I looked into the bag and holy cow it was a set of blingin Razo Formula Spec pedals. Too early for a birthday present don't you think? (my birthday's on the 13th of Febraury) Anyhow, I truly appreciate this present. Thx Tommy boy!!!

After installing it via D.I.Y, went out for a test to see how the new pedals felt. It felt very direct, sensitive and now I can feel that she is somehow communicating with me more. Good stuff!

Scratches?No doubt after some serious driving.

Currently her kicks are some old school R32 GTR rims with some sticky Hankook Ventus R-S2's.

With her little plush onion head doll guardian perhaps? Well actually its a JDM Drift Fashion statement to hang a little toy rite at the back of the car.

Beware!Don't come near!!!!

Her Uras branded lips are kinda cracked probably due to my ignorance to the bumps and humps of Boleh Land. Gonna fix it up after CNY.

Ouch!

Ouch x2!!

Before I end the post I would like to wish my buddy Maz S-Ichigo a very Happy 23rd Birthday that fell on last Friday 5th of February. Hope you had a great time in Mist Club that I wasn't able to go.

New Banner

Now my blog looks complete with a new banner with a touch of magic by my fellow creative friend Mr. Zacque (Hypercool). My blog needed something unique and Zacque had the perfect solution. I present you my new banner!


In case you are wondering why the banner is projecting out a gloomy and moody feeling, it is because it is unique and it potraits an emotion, a sense of mystery, evokes a sense of passion. Red is the colour of passion.

A billion thanks to Mr.Zacque!

p.s. Love those fonts!!

Makeover

Recently I've been tempted to have a change in whatever i am doing. So I decided this blog needed a new colour scheme as well as a fresh new look. As you can see it is now hearthing a White background with Red lines due to the fact my car is Red. Why the White background you ask? 1st things 1st, it's a very refreshing and vibrant colour compared to the old black background. 2ndly i've been noticing other blogs that I follow like http://theclippingpoint.blogspot.com/ , http://er34.blogspot.com/ , and also http://driftneyland.blogspot.com/ somehow all has the White background.

Well now I'm proud to say that I have joined the bandwagon of white blog background perhaps?? haha

After this new minor blog facelift, I will be updating more oftenly on my RPS13 180SX so stay tuned!

Problems after another

Ms. 180SX has been a very naughty gal for the past few weeks. Been going to see the Doctor everyweek. After 1 sickness is cured. Another one pops up. Headache!!!

A Very Fun, Exciting and Challenging Day.

Today was a great day. Supposed to wake up early in the morning for a jog in Bukit Kiara but was too tired to wake up. Woke up at about 10am then went with Calvin to Sunway Pyramid for some arcade and food. Initial plan was to ride the rollercoasters in Sunway Lagoon but we decided not to as there were loads of people. After that we went to Tbunt Cyber Cafe for some L4D.

We didn't know what to do or where to go after that so suddenly the idea of going up to Genting Highlands struck my mind. So Calvin also said anything. So we started our journey up to the mountains. Unfortunately there was a downpour and I can feel my car's tail wants to go out on the highway whenever i hit a puddle of water due to maybe the rear tyres are quite worn and has very very little thread left. I had to concentrate uber hard. It was quite scary to be honest. I felt understeer and oversteer while negotiating the twisty turns going uphill in a downpour. The car felt really really nervous in the wet due to maybe my Drift setting + Bald Tyres. Sigh i think i probably need to swap the rear tyres for some fresh ones soon.

At the top I parked my car and went for some fun. Ended up going into this Ripley's Believe Or Not thingy. It was quite educational. Had dinner there and decided to call it a day and head back down at about 10. It was real foggy and cold though the road was dry it was still a scary experience. More oversteers, understeers and brake locks were experienced. It was so dark till i can't see the speed humps. I locked my brakes because I saw a speed hump very late but the car flew over the humps and oversteered a little bit but the magic of countersteer saved the day.

It's my first time driving up and down genting. I'm not happy with my car now especially during a downpour. It's simply too nervous. At the same time I had a really fun, adrenaline pumping, exciting and challenging day. Tackling the corners of Mount Genting in the rain is sure tough. Much tougher than I could ever imagine. But having turbo power really makes going up to Genting much more easier. I could even climb the hill literally at 3rd gear at the steep sections.

I'm really grateful we came back in one piece probably because we sat on the World's Luckiest Chair made of Horseshoes in Ripley's thingy hahaha.....I will go there again another time to tackle the corners.

Thx Calvin for accompanying me up Genting although I kinda gave you a minor heart attack...hahahaha...
