I'm keen to track my car to probe where the weak links are...:nod: I'm sure it will be somewhere around the handling area... suspensions, tyres, brakes...

Lets organise a track day at Sepang once your ride is ready shall we? You know the saying goes... "Its better to wear out than to rust out..."

 

[kazama]

Track days are the best man !

I'll be organizing a small get together/cruise/tt for S15 owners somewhere in March. Will keep you informed.

Update :

Its been a while, some more DIY and add ons I've picked up...

Painted the centre panel in metallic silver...

An impulse buy I just cant resist... hand brake knob & deep dish drift steering.

 

[gunner93]

Picked up this magnetic sump nut...

Sticks like a dog on a bitch...

Will take some pics during next oil change and see how much crap this will attract...

Semi-slicks to shave off lap times in Sepang...

Gunner93,

Welcome to the noisy, noisy....tire tread club. I'm certain your NVH is up again!

See, you gain some but you loose some others!

 

[gunner93]

Hi CP, long time no hear form you? Any more new mods to your car?

As for NVH, I have long given up on it. My zorst alone will drown out all stray sounds. I'll just let it be a raw performance car as it was built as.

 

[sillbeers15]

Only installed a new differential unit onto my ride as all the aftermarket reinforced suspension arms and rose joints transmit noise readily into my cabin. The new unit makes very negligible whine at 70 to 90km/h speed on
6th gear now.

I'm certain my old differential gear isn't worn (only 30,000km on it since new) just that the replacement unit now is better

I'll be installing HKS Camp II soon after getting a fresh coat of pearl white + double lacquer coats on my ride (it took 2 months wait time + 2 months paint/prep time to get my car through painting).

wow ... do we really need this type of tires to run in Sepang ah?

 

[gunner93]

Hi Chin,

My present tyres are old and thread depth left about 5% to 10% so what better time to change it than just before HPC. Will get it alligned with proper camber and toe settings and finally filled with nitrogen gas. :thumbs:

you'd want to use this type of tires to fully bring out the best of our beast.
In fact, some of the boys use semi slicks on the road as well. Good stuff man, So much grip.
Just take it easy during the rain and on wet/damp roads and you should be fine.

colin, *yummy!* These are going in the fronts right ..?

 

[gunner93]

Yep thats for the front and it was very good on the dry. Here's my account on attacking the Sepang F1 circuit which a few of us participated yesterday morning...

Update :

Prepping for another track day tomorrow. Fresh synthetics from sponsor selected hard centistrokes 15w50

Tilting my car to drain out another cupful

All the trouble for another cupful of oil

Flush out my old DOT4 while I'm at it

Here's one I'm keen to see. My magnetic sum nut after 3,500km. What did it attract?

Very fine metal particles you can see here half cleaned.

All cleaned up and a comparison with the original nut.

Checking if the magnet still works

Yeah... still stickin' strong... Not bad for S$11

 

[gunner93]

It been awhile, some updates...

ORC twin plate going in...

 

[gunner93]
