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.

New Project : Cylinder Head

Hi guys.

My hands are itchy to mod again my engine. So today i asked my mechanic to find me another 4g93 cylinder head to do 'Port & Polish'. Last time my current cylinder head is already ported and polished to Stage 1 Port & Polish. But this time, i decided to go for maximum port & polish cylinder head job which most people call it Stage 3 Port & Polish. Other than just porting and polishing the intake and exhaust holes, in this stage, we will also touch some of the other part such as valve seat etc.

But anyway I hope that it is not too late to wish all of my moslem friends Happy Eid ul-Fitr.



Regards & Salam Eid ul-Fitr.

Iphone .. more than just a phone!

Who said Iphone is a rock? haha. I'm quite shock when i discovered an application that can be used in Iphone to estimate the engine horsepower. Amazing! The application is called "Dynolicious". Ths application uses the Iphone's built in accelerometer to measure:

• 0-100km/h acceleration
• Quarter mile elapsed time
• Lateral G's
• Braking G's
• Wheel horsepower ( estimated )
• Engine horsepower ( estimated )

FYI, The application has been track-tested at major dragstrip against regulation timing equipment and has demonstrated accuracy comparable to standalone performance meters which cost hundred of dollars =p

Price : $12.99 ( RM 46 +/-)

Requirements : Compatible with Iphone and Ipod Touch ( OS 2.2 or later )

p/s: btw , u still need the Iphone to use this app =p
