Sepang open track day (27-01-2008)

canIt started off as a lazy Sunday morning after the ordeal the BC_Machine guys went through on Saturday night chatting like there was no tomorrow. There were cigarettes, there were drinks, there was a cool place to relax at and an inexhaustible pool of ideas. From cars to foods to hookers. That made for chatting until 6a.m. and the track day was on Sunday!!! Once everyone went off to noddy-land, who was to call but Andrew Chew (snappy one). He had arrived as promised by 8a.m. sharp.

Everyone was woken up except BCM Hush Puppy whom had to have a TIT massage before he was forced to get up. Everyone showered and watched an episode of Rides whilst gaining some ideas from them American nuts then took leave to have our brunch.

After a hearty meal to fill everyone up for track attack mode, the entire team took leave and went to Zoggee's shop to have pre-track checks and to clean up the machines before the attack!

Once done, a petrol kiosk was in order and to check air pressure for our dear tires, at the same time getting some bottled water for the day's consumption. After which, everyone went to meet up with Zoggee's friends at the Dengkil R&R just before Sepang.



A merry contingent of track junkies were making their way to the Sepang F1 Circuit already so the team also decided that it's time they did the same. Upon arrival, every driver had to dish out RM200 in exchange for a paper wrist band :( *blek*

It seems that the team was there early so everyone got in top spots for their machines at the pits. Tan was with his V6 as usual... Proud as can be... *blek*


And the rest as follows.
The two touge kakis from the North. Tougeking with his pristine TE72 and Snappy with his ori Perd SEi. BCM's 12 and his V6 accompanied by Zoggee's Kookaburra!
These are the last but not least, the track monsters. Lao Heah's Accord and Kang's E2 Perd.

There are a huge number of cars on the track that day and a great deal of them were well prepped. The day ended in every driver in exhaustion and every car in need of a check up. But it was all good and VERY worth it! Try it at least once and have the bragging rights to say, "I've been there before!". It is indeed an experience like no other for the automotive enthusiast in YOU!

Snappy 'lil KP!!!

Andrew (The Snappy One), had recently utilized his TE's crumple zones fully and had been on a car search since. After some KE hunting and him losing interest in the sport of drifting (being the hot blooded touge enthusiast that he is), decided to get a small featherweight to be fully prepped for attacking the touge.

Thanks to BCM Tan (12), he had landed on a pristine condition (almost) KP60 Toyota Starlet. This little bugger has a 2K engine running off it's 720kg (odd) curb weight. The 8-valve OHV 1.0 L (993 cc) 2K was produced from 1969 through 1988. The rough output of this little engine was 45 hp at 5600 RPM and 66 Nm at 4000 RPM, which at that time is rather good considering that the Kelisa EJ-DE (989 cc petrol DOHC 12-valve engine with electronic fuel injection system) produces 54 HP at 5200 RPM and 88.3Nm at 3600 RPM! The beauty of this little engine is that the intake and exhaust are on the same side of the engine head leaving the other side free to accomodate the spark plug and push-rods.



This snappy little car was a beautiful purchase as the body condition and structural integrity was very well kept (for a 27yrs old car). The interior is still in pristine condition, the rear boot absorbers were still holding up, and it came along with 13"x5" alloys and some little extras :P






After BCM Tan (12) helped to complete the grant transfer inspection, Andrew (The Snappy One) came over to drive it a bit and we all had some fun doing a few doughnuts at a sandy patch somewhere in BM. Even the FF cars were joining in the fun with Lao San and Tommy's (sticker man) car.




But alas, the fun was shortlived. The next day, Andrew (The Snappy One) wanted to drive the KP home but to his dismay found that the engine con-rods had knocked themselves silly. So after a couple of worrying days, a number of solutions came up and each were thoroughly thought through and the only feasible one is to complete the pending SC Vios, and initiate the KP project - "Snappy 'lil KP".


With other options posing immensely diluted timelines, and a replacement 5K engine costing RM1500, the "Snappy 'lil KP" project will be initiating sooner than expected.

Acknowledgements to BCM Tan (12) for keeping a keen eye out for this car and doing all the runner duties, BCM Henry (Hush Puppy) for helping to resolve the TE and KP ails plus running around a fair bit.

Finally, congratulations to Andrew (The Snappy One) on acquiring this most recent project car. We'll be looking forward to using it as a billboard! :P

p.s. Curb (kerb) weight is the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables (such as motor oil and coolant), a full tank of fuel, and not loaded with either passengers or cargo.

Touge Night,Balik Pulau !

Last night,the Team BC Machine guys went to Balik Pulau with the V-Sixers guys and some of their friends.
But luck was not with our friend Ah Siow with his th(rusty) yellowFord.He tail gated ah tan in andrew(tcm) silver perdana sei too close and can't anticipate what's infront of Tan's vehicle...there was a slippery spot(se-buuk of cambong fish) at a bend and he lost steering input, skidded and 2 become 1 with the divider(thinks he can do like Initial D"pai shui dou pao fatt"排水道跑法sliding on the drain technique) :p

My advise....Guys,look as far as you can.Look forward.Don't tail too close to the vehicles in front of you while driving.Never ever...Do not tailgate ,no matter wet or dry(or in this case fish on the touge).Come on guys.We are here to have a nice drive.Why race each other on the road(tan's bad). Don't show how good you are,don't show what car you drive(th"rusty" yellow ford),Don't say you are damn keng....and now? who's suffering(the dead fishes).







Please pratice safe driving on the road. Don't let this happen to you.This is due to happen.It's a driver's error(or the fish)???


Luckily,he survived but the fishes did not.(damm the fish stinks and the tyre too)
Comforting friends. Andrew a.k.a Drag King and Fasso.
Andrew got the kiss instead of Siow.

The V-sixers guys.(Fizi,Pak Li,Otai,The Twins,Jonathan,Jay...last but not least Ah Tan)

The 81'Celica Sharul with S13 powerplant. from V-Sixers guys.



Fat Dog had an accident too(behind tan in andrew(tcm) perdana too...damm he is 1 havoc bring-er....Wa Bo Ka Li Pian...Huan Lo Eh Ma...). He lost it.Oversteering did a 180 degree and also hit the divider(tail out...FR ah???F20c???). Damn,When are you guys gonna learn. Be cool.! Don't treat the road as a circuit.


Scratching head after it had happened?? Well,look who's spending money.Be cool bro.





some vids on that disastrous night(2 cars in 1 road)
