The road to perdition...

Even though our progress has been very slow at best, but it seems our "Mech" Hau wants nothing short of perfect...

He has impeccably re-treaded all the screw holes in the chassis and will be replacing them with new screws, he has cleaned and re-sprayed the entire front axle that you can see from the pic above makes it look like brand spanking new o.O
All the main bushings has been changed to new Super Pro Racing Bushings as well :P

The rear axle will also receive the same treatment as the front, except that we're waiting for the arrival of a new 2 way Cusco LSD to make the rear end complete^^

But the main goliath of our journey back to the lion's den is the completion of Kate's engine^^

This heart of the beast has new anodized pulleys and belts as well as....

Our new Techtronic Turbo.... all that we need for her new heart now is the missing intercooler and oil cooler that we left back at Tekali a few months back :P

She's also lacking the anti-roll bars... the stock anti-roll bars are just too thin and unfortunately Kate's previous anti-roll bar has been damaged and bent from our last adventure :(
Buying new sets cost a whopper so we're still on a look out for some bargained price item :P

It seems Trouble may not be complete by the time my days off is up, but we're just making sure that everything is done right the first time around... although we had all kind of planned event participation with her it seems we won't be meeting the deadline after all :P

Anyhow, these are just small updates of our small progress on getting back to the touge trail with some sideshow in our life ;)

Keisuke has become the icon of Sasuke Malaysia with his return of Ultraman bin Seven parody :P

Countdown to infinity....

It seems the preparation for Trouble is moving slower than expected...

While we were hoping to prep her for the coming Time Attack event this coming weekend, it seems with her current schedule that seems to be an impossibility now...

She has just gone through one of the most extreme chassis treatment we've done so far... even far more extreme with what Kate had in the past...

We sent her to where they make Formula D chassis... with competition grade stitch welding...

With her chassis finally done, we will be putting her through an extreme make over that would make even Kate seem like mild.... but Kate is leaving her legacy with Trouble... her 300hp heart will make through the surgery table with a few change in configuration... mainly the turbo....

We're changing her turbo to a smaller Turbonetic turbo... hopefully with the smaller turbine we can eliminate that slight turbo lag in those tight twisty section where Kate had in the past.... with our power cap at 300hp we hope this turbo won't have any issue in power delivery ^^

Suspension is still the original HKS adjustable and the brakes are also stock issue... the previous brake set from Kate seems too extreme for street use... we would need extremely grippy tires to cope with her excessive stopping power and since there is no brake electronic aids with these babies makes them kinda tricky to handle under braking >.<

So hopefully with the stock rotors we can make some slight changes in the braking department... mainly just to improve the braking feel... since the stopping power proves to be too much for street use, we'll just leave Kate with her brake shoes :P

 Kate is still under the wood work...

Hopefully we can finish with Trouble in the coming week or so and start working on Kate, we're planning of putting Kate through the same chassis treatment Trouble gone through... but our wallet will decide on that :P

Trouble's future driver ^^
