A year later....

It's over a year now since my last post in this blog... regarding my car...huhuhu... it was like nothing, no movement, no improvement what so ever to it...

Since the overheating incident, me & my friend broke off with another friend of ours to form a new entity... a new workshop to cater our existing customers... it's that jealously thing that made us form the new workshop... it's about me & my friend (later as biz partner& chief mechanic) bringing more & more customer... a lot more than the other friend's customers... every time our customer came, he just refuse to let the car go in the workshop or lend us the tools... why the ****** is he doing like that...

So we've made a decision to rent a place from the city council DBKL... a place that was always close to our heart... a place called Industri Kecil Taman Salak Jaya... a place that made our name rise... a place where everyone in automotive biz knew what they r dealing with if they heard the place...

That was a few years back... now it's comeback kid time...

Since we form the workshop with very minimal amount of capital...with what ever cash & fund that we have in our pockets... we manage to survive a full one year operation...

We've made some engine conversions /transplant... from front wheel drive (fwd) natural aspirated (NA) to Turbo charged 4 cylinders, and to V6 engines...and the rear wheel drive (rwd), which is my favourite setup since i was growing up with this type of rwd setup right at the beginning of my child hood days in the 70s... From normal overhauls to performance overhauls, until to the installment of stand alone electronic computer unit (ECU) such as Microtech & Haltech ecu... we've done them all... But this upgrades is still not quite as popular as engine transplant..

We've done some racings at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) in the Sepang Drag Battle (SDB) event, the biggest drag racing event so far in Malaysia... and also the minor events such as the street drag race of MUSC... the scooter community organizer... we've competed in NA & turbo class event in which our customer voluntarily give their car to be tested in the event... we never forced them to do so, only if they want to... So, it's only a participation in the event... not a serious contender... but then a few guys already opened up their eyes to rebuild their engines up to competition standards.. So far, me & my partner concentrated on Mazda & Ford cars...Now that's where the Microtech & Haltech fall into places...hehehehe

Have a look at my racing activities thru these links... I drove them cars in those races bro...hahaha





Why i love automotive & its engineering stuff so much... i also really really don't know why... I guess it's a passion to me since my childhood days.... just like Chris Rea's song "La Patione".. or more like when I was a child, I saw movies consist of beautiful young ladies driving sport car... similar also like Chris Rea's song "Girl In A Sport Car".

When I hear those songs, i felt very-very happy deep inside my heart... it rekindle the memories of my childhood days with my late father i guess... He always said "No no no no" to me...hahahaha.....hmm ahh those good old memories...
