Well it seems like nothing much has been happening since
both Trouble and Kate are still an incomplete project.
Currently I am working again, to fill up our coffers… as our
big budget splash on both the cars has made our pockets rather dry :(
Our
chassis specialist is working on Kate
Her
former damaged nose is taken off for a replacement
By
the last model Infini :)
While Kate is stripped down, we
took the opportunity to remove some unnecessary parts ;)
Like
the sound deadening:)
Since Kate will be a track focused
car, we are giving her some extreme parts
Like
some Mazda speed rear arms:)
I
mean a whole rear axle :) This is an original rear axle from mazda speed
complete with bushings for an FC3S track car from Japan, unfortunately the car
had a terrible accident that destroyed its front end but we salvaged what we
can from its rear end ;)
Kate is still a long way from
being complete, but I hope our target for her to be able to compete in at least
one time attack event this year is not too ambitious :)
While we were busy prepping up Kate, the Garage
Champion is also busy being kitted up to aim for that top step :)
Not only everything inside is
stripped, she has a new engine, a new dog box gear box (that cost a BOMB!!!!
O.O) and many more tid bits that only us mere mortals can dream of T.T
As for Trouble at least she is
road worthy now, we have gave her new heart a little touge run but her
suspension settings is still in a mess… as well as her interior :P
Her exterior is also nothing to
shout about, but since we went to all the trouble of making her like brand new…
might as well go the distant ;)
Before :)
After ;) Gave her some new rubbers ;)
By
carefully tracing the old one
Upclose
She
also gets some new taillights
Below is just a short footage of
Trouble on the touge when we were out testing her, the alignment and everything
else was rather bad that she was literally snaking about at high speed but we
just wanted to test her engine and see if there are any anomalies… but
considering the speed we were going with that kind of setting, looking back it
was quite suicidal :P
