New Year 2023

Happy new year guys! 

Well, since my racecraft carbon fiber hood condition is quite bad, so I decided to install back my stock hood to my satria. Will send the carbon fiber hood for refurbish when I have the budget. By the way, do you have contacts for shop which can provide carbon fiber refurbish service? if yes do share in the comment section.

            look at that CF hood condition 😅

                   same old brand new you?

Been keeping this stock hood in my store for a out 12 years if I remember correctly 😅 So much different in weight if compare to my carbon fiber hood🤣

On the other hand, not much update on the car but I just changed my car aircond compressor and replace the faulty FICD when i sent the car for engine oil change. Now the car feel much better when idling everytime I turn on the air conditioning. What to do, running with aircond is a must in our climate 😝

Mitsubishi Colt 4G92 Mivec 200HP

Hi Guys!

Found this awesome video of Mitsubishi Mirage Cyborg R from the net. Such an awesome build and this kind of modification never fails to amaze me. Apart from clean sporty looks, the engine bay is such candy to the eyes. 

The language in in Thai but no worries you can turn on the cc features for translation (even the translation is not perfect). Hope one day when I have budget, definitely will upgrade my Proton Satria to be as cool as the car.

See you guys in the next post!

Fujiwara Tofu Shop in Malaysia?

Hi Guys!

Hope all of you are doing fine. Last year on December, Me and my family went to Ipoh (Malaysia) for a short vacation to celebrate our baby first year birthday. During the stay, I found a Japanese restaurant with "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" theme from Initial D when I went for sightseeing around the city . Some pictures below:

On the other hand, heard the news that there is also newly launch Fujiwara Tofu Shop themed restaurant open in Selangor, Malaysia. Will definitely pay a visit if I got the chance. Till then, See you in the next post!

Proton Satria Old Advertisements

Hi Guys!

Not much for today post. When I browsing some videos from Youtube during my lunch hour, I came across with Proton Satria old advertisement. It does bring lot of memories to us Malaysian especially those who loves Proton Satria 😁 

Proton Satria

Proton Satria GTi

Still remember watching this advertisement when I was still young at at that time 😆 By the way, are you guys still keeping your old Satria? If yes.. COOL! 😁 I know it is hard to maintain an old car but the passion and the love of the car makes you keep holding on to what you love😃 

Take care and see you in the next post!

Tsuchiya's AE86 Diecast by INNO64

Hi Guys!

Hope you guys are doing well. Today, I would like to share one of my favorite diecast made by INNO64. This diecast is made based on the legendary AE86 driven by the Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya. You can read my old posts about him > HERE < 

I have been following the updates of Tsuchiya-san AE86 and up until now, he is still upgrading his AE86 to be much faster and handle better to compete with the newer sport cars.  Previously the car was using 4AGE motor but currently he is using 7AFE engine block to increase the displacement from 1.6L to 1.8L. Basically most of us call this hybrid motor as 7AGE since it is a mix of 4AGE cylinder head with 7AFE engine block ( just like my engine combination, 4g92 MIVEC cylinder head + 4g93 engine block 😝) By the way back to the topic, below are some pictures of the INNO64 Toyota Sprinter Trueno Ae86 "Drift Car" diecast:

the packaging from INNO is always top notch

superb details as always

Latest Video of his and Orido's AE86:

That's all for today post. You can visit INNO64 Facebook HERE or their website: https://www.inno-models.com. There are lot of cool models produced by them and I will share my other "favorites" diecast from INNO64 in the future post. Till then, have a great day and stay safe!

Proton Satria : The Journey Goes On

Hi guys!

Nothing much on today post. Just want to share my Proton Satria picture after few months this car was hibernating in the house garage during Malaysia's 3rd movement control order (MCO). Below picture was taken when I brought the car to car wash nearby to remove all the stubborn dirt/dust and cat paws print on the windscreen 😂

Not much update to the engine/body. Just the same old "Blue Shinkansen" that some of you guys know few years back (except aging carbon fiber hood and body paint🤣)

So much planning on this car but keeps on delaying it, since more focus put on my beloved family 😁 Will share update on this ride and keep on following my blog 😊

Thank you!

my diecast Honda collections so far.

Currently looking for EP3, DC5 and also CL7 to complete my "favorite Honda" collection. I love the details that Tomica TLVN offer but the price is quite on a high side nowadays (depends on country maybe?). INNO64 built quality is also awesome. Would definitely be one of the best choice for diecast collector who are looking for other brand than Tomica or Hot Wheels.

NISSAN GT-R 50 BY ITALDESIGN

Hi Guys!

Hope you are doing well. In today post, I would like to share my newest addition to my Tomica GTR collections. You can read on my previous post HERE for my GTR diecast collection.

Below are the latest Tomica GTR diecast which has been released for August 2021. As always, Tomica details and quality feel premium... but if the doors can be opened I would say the diecast is perfect 😆

 

Tomica Premium No 23 Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign (Released date: Aug 2021)

Japanese with European stylings

love the rear design... 

shushi with pizza topping, if you know what I mean 😁

Liquid Kinetic Gray + Energetic Sigma Gold

Ok, some of the background here, The GTR50 was designed and developed by Italdesign, a very well known designer and engineering company from Italy that I really love so much since I was a kid. This super rare GTR is based on Nissan GTR Nismo and this mean machine can produce 720 PS from its NISMO-tuned hand-built 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. Italdesign, will only build 50 units of this rare vehicle. So I bet only super rich car collector will buy this since the estimated price tag is €900,000, which is about RM4.4 million in Malaysia 💰

Enough with reading now lets watch video:

Thank you guys and see you in the next post!

Crazy 4g93 (310E) Engine Built By HKS

Hi guys!

I would like to share some of the pictures and information that I found on the net regarding super 4g93 engine built by a well known Japanese tuner which is HKS. As one of the user of 4g93 engine (with MIVEC top set) in a Proton Satria, this kind of engineering really amazed me 😍

The first gen of 310E engine. Look at those intake and header setup 😱

Second gen of 310E engine.... GDI direct injection setup. also use different intake and header setup.

Developed based on Mitsubishi 4g93 cast iron engine. The first version cc was increased from 1834cc to 1994cc producing 180hp with 26kgm of torque. The later version (GDI) with much more refine setup able to produce higher power output which is 208hp with 26.8kgm of torque 👏

The F3 car that was using the 4g93 based engine (310E) won the third round of the 1997 F3 Championship 👍

That's all for today. See you in the next post! 😊
