Heart cavity repainted...

Well, i've just came back from visiting the Old Lady in the hospital yesterday... She just had her engine bay repainted :-) a certain golden shade... sadly, it's the same colour as all the other cars at our house X-p



















And the fist-sized hole were patched up for free ^^


And the rest of the junk were stashed in the car for storage purposes X-p a major interior work gotta be done after this... :-p



And cloud has dreams that comes in two wheels... X-p



Well, even i'm losing sleep over something like this... X-p'

Circus updates^^

It seems Hanz Neo has taken its flight to orbit... its been written off as total lost and will never see the lights of day again, neither will we see its head lights in our rear view mirror as well :P

He had a few great options as his choices, and attempts as much as we did we could never sway him to see the light :P

Hanz being a complete nerdy petrol head as all of us, he decided to ditch the Alfa!!! o.O

He claims the Alfa didnt catch his heart, soul and passion... but a Neo does... o.O

Neo CPS to be exact... and its already under the knife for that extra kick.

It seems now that he have become one of our great rivals, it seems the stage is set for a great battle ahead.

Hanz never had the luxury to kick my pride in the dirt with his old Neo like he did to Kei, but now he's preparing just for that... even his talks sounds a little cocky now xD

But as the case is, now he has chosen a Neo CPS as his base car... and in his own words :

"Yeah.the chasis has been improve..I'm gettin a new neo.with a fiery heart too.n 10 k worth of mods already standing by.n yes I will still use a good ol campro!!!"

"Plus some of the good stuf from the old neo will be thrown in too"

"The neo cps has a revised chassis width n length to overcome..ehem the old problem"

"N I will still put more bars than pudu jail in it N make it faster than its predecessor"

"I'll be ready for ya"

Interesting how things will turn out, I'm really looking forward as how he will mod his new Soul Mate^^

As for the Old Lady, she's still in the operating room.... we just found a big gaping heart stopping fist size hole right under the drivers side underbody...

Guess 20 odd years has not been nice to her =.=

Will need to patch that up before going any further north.

As for the rest of her body stiching, it seems the doctor have a pair of steady hands^^

She now have more stiches on her than Frankenstein... all in the pursuit of youth... I mean chasis rigidity:P

Hopefully she'll regain her fiery young body she posesssed long ago that captured the hearts of million, and back to winning ways.

The mods we're doing on her is getting quite serious, she's turning into a street legal track car... and she is becoming more and more a carbon copy of our friendly mechanic Hau's Track oriented FC :P

These mods will certainly burn a huge hole in my wallet, and I still need to save up some more for some serious black wall... RE-01 is what I'm waking up to in the morning, but unless me being financially ready to take the plunge... I'll have to make way for more options >.<

From our timeline we're seing the Battle Gears being ready in probably one or two month time, hopefully when both our Gears are ready to the starting line, under the moonlight, Tekali will once again be abuse to the sound of horsepower!!!^^

Until then, what have we addrenaline addict RedSuns junkie have been up to... well we've gone to some outdoor adventures that is almost as dangerous as our twilight escapades... I think :p

Beating our self half dead climbing down under a bridge and have a dip so close to the dam that the water level can change in a matter of minutes...

Beating our self half dead by going Parkour without any real training :P

Cloud went to study the mysteries of Physics >.<

 And we went to some touge session with really crappy cars (Kembara, Kia Spectra, etc) that I almost slept in the car >.<

And also a hearty congratulations to our best friend Pimal for his wedding^^

May you be among those lucky ones to enjoy the blissful marriage life until death do their part ;)

 

And as I mentioned before, 'tis being a season of aplenty... we found another beautiful, original R34 GTR V-spec which have just had a visit with the friendly roadside kerbs... >.<

From what I heard... the initial quote to patch up this rare beauty would be around 30k... since it had a direct hit to the chasis main frame o.O

The whole engine and transmission is now aback by a few inches... the 6-speed GETRAG transmission is confirmed to be dead... just hope the RB26 DETT is still intact.... if not one of those babies could cost a whopping 15k!!! o.O

I just hope this beauty won't be scrape... its such a pity :(

Operation Revival

Well I guess the Old Lady in hospital is old news by now.

But just to fill in some gaps, here are some pics of what happened to the Flying Circus.

Keisuke became over-excited with the new-found grip the Old Lady has with those new Roll-Cage, and without noticing it he has jumped over the limit.... he hit the Tekali mountain side, thank God no one was badly hurt as the Old Lady hit the mountain side with such Teutonic impact.

The Old Lady went out quite rather spectacular, Keisuke overspeeds into a corner... the car started drifting, and next thing he knows is that he ran out of tarmac xD
The car was drifting sideways over the ditch, the backend hit the mountain, making the front end in turn kissing the mountain and pushed back the car back over the ditch facing the wrong way xD

Her chasis was so bend that she literally became like a Boomerang xD

The impact was so strong that it took off both side of the rear side skirts o.O

And a crack on the right side of the car o.O

Miraculously the plate number and both the spot light survived the crash undamaged xD
And tear off completely the rear bumper....

There goes our FEED muffler xD

And made a hole at our spare tyre place :P

The doors can't shut and they had to use the best human technology ever invented... the Gaffo tape xD

But now the Old Lady is recuperating at our trusted mechanic's garage :P

We have just finished pulling her chasis straight, even better than before.... we had to cut a front section of the nose and replace it with a half-cut that fortunately just arrived from Japan^^
That front section was twisted in so many ways that it is non-salvageable, but other than that the Old Lady is doing just fine.

Since I will be needing to get a new body kit for her, and with an offer I cannot resist from our trusted mech friend^^... we installed a wide body kit for the Old Lady too, now she looks so fat that her old image looks rather tame, and those old tires have to go out.... 16" is no longer big enough for the tire well, I guess I have to go either 17" or 18" after this o.O
And also the width tire most likely I'll go for is 245, I hope even that can fill the void of those tire well :P

 Just for comparison... the images of the Old Lady before and after her cosmetic surgery xD

The Old Lady showing signs of her Flying Circus DNA :P

But the Old Lady is still a works in progress, we'll be taking off those wide body kit for awhile after this and send her to do some spot welding before we re-install the roll-cage, and this time we'll need to cushioned the roll-cage to avoid the injuries Keisuke and one of our other Neo friends (uhh... dont know his name >.<) suffered during their last incursion ^^ Oddly enough, it seems these past few months has been a season of aplenty..... accidents :P The Old Lady, Hanz total lost Neo, his brother got into one, Zid got into one... and even our mech friend got into one also >.<...
His FC front section was totally wreck, he crashed it while doing some drift session... spun out and the guy at the back hit him head on o.O

 Hau's extreme track car FC in the hospital with the Old Lady :P

So I think, I'm the only lucky one to have gotten through this 'aplenty' season unscathed... or maybe that has got to do with the fact that I was not even in Malaysia when all of these happened xD
