Improving The Handling of The Car

Hi guys.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Btw, After i did a lot of reviews on chassis strengthening and how to improve car handling, i made up my mind to do something to my ride. So, I chose front strut bar and rear strut bar from Ultra racing. Pictures below.

picture above shows the 3 points front strut bar. I choose 3 points because it will give better strength to the chassis and neutralize the shock impact transfer to the chassis.

On the other hand, the above picture shows the rear strut bar. I also insisted to go for 3 points design for the rear bacause of its advantages and reviews from some of my other friends who use this bar.

Beware, make sure the one you bought is original. Dont be cheated :) You can check the originality from the serial number on the sway bars.

After hard driving, i can definitely say that this bars are worth the money. My car handling feels much better and it feels so different. It is not just 'placebo effect' :) Thumbs up for ULtra Racing.

NRG Quick Tilt

Greetings to all!

Nowadays, we can hear or read a lot from the newspapers , websites etc about car theft. Just like last time, my brother's car nearly get stolen at his workplace. Other than that 3 of my friend's car ; mostly souped-up Proton Satria GTi and Proton Putra, had been stolen away by the thief and 2 days ago, once again, one of my friend lost his beloved souped-up Proton Wira c99. Hmm... I think it is time for me to invest some of my money for safety.

Yesterday, I went to a performance parts store which nearby my area to look for steering quick release. At that time i was just looking for NRG quick release like what most of my friend use but then the store owner showed me the new type of quick release system which called 'Quick Tilt' and it is design and produce by NRG. Pictures below.

how it looks like..

kakoie!

safety and easy access

According to NRG, This 'Quick Tilt System' allows driver to easily get in and out of the car. This works especially well for cars equipped with racing seats since it can be a pain to get in and out from under the steering wheel. This system allows the steering wheel to tilt up in 1 motion. It also comes with a lock to secure the car when the steering wheel is up. Unlike the quick release system, you don't have to find a place to store your steering wheel, nor is there a need to take it with you.

My 'Race Machine'

Hi guys!

As promised! In this post i would like to share with you my other ' race machine ' =p. Picture below.

My Mini 4WD

Actually i already kept this machine aka mini 4WD in my store room for about 7-8 years. I can still remember anime that aired during our childhood which is Dash Yankuro. Still remember? During that time i was one of the kid who really addicted to the anime and really wanted to become the 'next mini 4WD racer'. LOL.

I can still remember last time. What i want to achieve is to have the fastest engine from others. I can say that I've spent a lot during that time but i don't regret that =) What the most important this is i can learn about engine , handling , DIY and whatsoever.

Nowadays, I can see that this mini 4WD is very different in design. Not like last time. The body is wider and the design is a bit peculiar. Haha. Maybe, that's just me. After doing some research on it and consult one of my brother's friend , which is very pioneer with this mini 4WD machine said that today's race is not just about horsepower. It's all about handling. What's the point of having a fast machine but in the middle, the machine jump off from the circuit.

By the way, according to my brother's friend, my machine can classified as 'super car' in today's race since the power generated from the motor is high and from the design of the body. But he also said that if i want to compete in today's race, i have to buy a new shell since today's rules & regulation don't approve this kind of shell. Don't know why. Hmmm. Maybe i'll try to consult other mini 4WD racers to confirm this matter.

regards.

Improve Handling

Holla.

If you think that car is made of metal and not subject to flex, you are totally wrong. Actually as you twist the car during touges and track etc , it will flex and this is not good! So in today's post, i wanna share with you another example to improve car handling.

Other than good tires, rims, suspension and also your skill =p we can also fit "Strut Braces" to the car to improve handling. Example of strut braces :

1. Front and rear strut bar
2. Rear anti roll bar
3. Side bar
4. Front lower arm bar
5. Room bar
6. Fender bar

As for me, i already equipped my car with front and also rear strut bar. It help during hard corner and keep me in balance during spirited driving. In the future i might as well upgrade my car handling by fitting all of this bar to the car chassis! haha!

my front strut bar. sorry i don't have pix of my rear strut bar =(

There a lot of brand to choose from such as Cusco,Tien,UltraRacing etc. Choose whatever suit you and your budget.

regards.
