Ralliart is Back?

Hi Guys!

Read the news that Ralliart will make a comeback after 11 years! Well that's a good news for me since I am one of Mitsubishi fan. For those who doesn't really know about Ralliart, this is a division under Mitsubishi motor which focus on motorsport. This sub-brand are responsible for preparation of racing vehicle, development of high-performance models and also performance parts for Mitsubishi models.

my favorite model.. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX tuned by Ralliart


From the information, the revival would take sometimes (approx. 2 years) and I really hope Mitsubishi Motor will be able to realize this motorsport dreams. Better late than never guys πŸ’ͺ

Regards.

Ferrari F40 LEGO Speed Champions Series & Tomica

Hi Guys!

Hope everyone is doing great. Today I would like to share with you my Ferrari F40 diecast and LEGO. The Lego was actually bought for my son on his 6th birthday and together we build it piece by piece (with a lot of patience πŸ˜†). It feels so much fun to build it together and share this hobby with my kids. Other than that, since I really love the F40, I also collect F40 diecast which produce by Tomica. The diecast details really impressed me. Pictures below:

Cheap Fix : Starter Relay Kit

Hi!

After I changed from high speed starter to normal starter and relocated my battery from the hood to the trunk, I can feel that it is harder for me to crank the engine especially if I leave the car for more than a week without starting the engine.

At first it doesn't really a matter to me but after a while I think that I need to look for a solution. And one fine day, I came across with a Facebook post on starter relay kit and I think I should give it a try since it is not that expensive anyway and it is plug and play. Some pictures below on the kit:

a very neat wiring

DC 12V 80A relay


After the installation, I can straightaway feel the improvement. The engine now easier to crank. Feels like new maybe? HAHA... by the way I am  really happy that this cheap but worthy mod solve the problem. One word that I can express is "Satisfied"... and add another three words "Money well spent" πŸ˜†

By the way, for those interested, you can send message to the seller link HERE

Thank you guys and see you in the next post!

Tomica & Hot Wheels DMC DeLorean from Back to the Future Trilogy

Hi Guys!

Anyone here a fan of Back to the Future Trilogy? I know you are πŸ˜† and so do I! Still remember growing up watching this awesome Spielberg's movies. Well the story is about Dr Emmet L Brown and Marty McFly who travel back and to the future with their time machine (a upgraded DMC DeLorean) from 1985 → 1955 (Part 1), 1985 → 2015 → 1985 → 1955 (Part 2), and the last part from 1985 → 1885 → 1985. Why they travel to the future? Well for those who haven't watch the movie, you guy should! πŸ˜†

Well since I really love the movies, why not spend some money to collect the iconic machine (1:64 DeLorean diecast) from Tomica and Hot Wheels? 😁


HW SCREEN TIME 1/5 (Time Machine Hover Mode)


You can find this in Back to the Future Part 2 Movie. At that time, Dr Emmett Brown and Marty McFly use the car to travel to the future (2015 πŸ˜…)


DMC DeLorean


Dream Tomica No. 146 DeLorean Part.3 (Released: March 17, 2018)

As always, the Tomica packaging is always the best.....

This model is seen on the third Back to the Future movie. At that time, They travelled to year 1885. 


Hot Wheels and Tomica DeLoren face off... Which is your favorite?


Both have good build material but from my opinion, Tomica is much more details.


Oh sweet.... Hope I can buy the actual car.... haha...

still waiting for flying car in 2021... πŸ˜†

Again the Hot Wheels packaging

and.... Tomica packaging.


the kid in me try to recreate the iconic scene.... hmmm... I should do better πŸ˜‚

Well that's all for today post. Thank you for reading and see you in the next post! 

p/s: stay safe and stay at home during this covid 19 pandemic.

My Blue Shinkansen 2021


Need to repair my carbon fiber hood as the clear coat starts to peel off and faded. Collecting money for this project. hehe....



The heart of my Proton Satria: The 4g93 MIVEC. No major upgrade for the past few years, just replacing wear and tear to make the car running fine.

Current Engine Setup:

  • Mitsubishi 4g92 MIVEC Cylinder head
  • Mitsubishi 4g93 Engine Block upgraded with 82mm high compression piston and race bearing
  • Matspeed 306in/304ex race camshaft with Aerospeed Adjustable camshaft pulley 
  • MIVEC Blacktop ECU with Greddy Emanage piggyback ECU
  • Skunk2 Intake Manifold with Super90 70mm Throttle Body + Mugen Airbox filter setup
  • Cusco 4-2-1 Header with 2.3 inch piping follow original route with S-flow type muffler
  • AVS 255 LPH fuel pump with Works Engineering adjustable fuel pressure regulator
  • NGK R09 Power Cables with NGK BKR6E-11 spark plugs.
  • Greddy 3 layer Aluminum radiator with Samco hoses.

Still keep the same engine setup since the engine rebuilt back in 2014. Just replacing my fuel pump from Walbro to AVS since the Walbro fuel pump gave me problem. Other than that, replacing the spark plugs from NGK Iriway to normal one... due to budget. hehe..... Might change to a better one later πŸ‘Œ

By the way, that's all for now. See you guys in the next post!
