Ascari Race Resort
I recently came across an article in a motoring magazine which caught my attention...it is something that all men will have wet dreams about....it's about the rich and the famous...its a place where we burn the remaining 40 years or so of petroleum reserves we have left on planet Earth...its ASCARI RACE RESORT!!!.....
Alright...lemme tell you abit about this magnificent piece of property...this Dutch guy...Klaas Zwart...a multi billionaire...he was sick of paying the rent to pump his hyper cars on tracks around the world...and one day...he decided its enough of all this...and so...while he was lazing around...taking a ride in his helicopter, he saw this piece of empty land somewhere remote in Spain, Ronda. Bought dat piece of land...scribbled the track layout he wanted on a piece of paper.. wrote a cheque of 70million euros...this is wat you get:



There is even a skipan there...for you to test how much lateral g-forces it can take before your balls fly out ....

This track was initially built for private use only...but heck...wats racing without anyone around you...so ...he is kind enough to open up his track for 500 other rich ppl....at a cost of ..zheng zheng zheng....
Membership fees (30 years) : 125,000.00 Euros
Annual Maintenance fees : 8,500.00 Euros Track Usage Allowance : 100 days/year/member
With this money....you get these:

A helipad for those of you who can't be bothered driving your Maserati Quattroporte/Porche Cayenne to the track....and if you do...there's a heated garage with its own climate control...high pressure pumps to power the tools...and loads more...there's even an underground carpark for you to keep all the cars that you have brought there to drive around...this is madness..
And if you think that's not enough...check this out....there's a swimming pool there..a bar...a restaurant to fill your stomach with exquisite food by highly paid chefs ....there';s even a 6-star hotel with 32 suites coming up ... damn this is kewl!!!..

If you calculate....to rent Sepang Circuit for a day....will cost you around RM 100,000.00...multiply that by 100 days...its RM 10,000,000.00...which comes to 2,127,659.00 Euros...and that's just for 1 year....for da whole of 30 years...assuming you live long enough racing everyday and STILL....live for that 30 years, you pay....466,000 Euros...(RM 2.19 million)...so...you are paying dat whole sum of 30 years...for a year of usage in Sepang (100days)....don't you think its a bargain!!!....so people...if you have spare change..go and join...Quanzilities encourages you for a money saving bargain!!!...

update update....
This is da last dat i can talk about my kereta...NO MONEY LIAO!!>>BROKE!!!!....hahaa....ok ok ....i finally got the mountings of my 4-point harness correct...initially the shoulder strap wuz bolted at the seat mounting..it wasn't properly mounted and the previous mounting will cause injury to the shoulder blade if sth bad happens....i had to mount it there because i couldn't think of a beter place...finally....after fiddling around the interior...i found this label on my seats.....ISOFIX (it's a standardised mountings for all childseats)...



There's no place left for da passenger behing my seat...hahah...but those mountings are easily removable...so..no worries...this is more like da WRC car mounting style....damn superb....now there's nomore flex from da belt caused by da tunnel of my bucket seats....


Some exterior shots of her as requested my Mr. Teh



These ISOFIXes are acatually for baby seats to mount securely on da back seats...but .... do i look like i have a baby to mount at da back of my car?....since its there....i shall put it to good use...muahaha...i went to Bunnings to get 2 safety hooks....those that you use when doing rock climbing to hook yourselves.....alrite...this wuz how it looked like:
There's no place left for da passenger behing my seat...hahah...but those mountings are easily removable...so..no worries...this is more like da WRC car mounting style....damn superb....now there's nomore flex from da belt caused by da tunnel of my bucket seats....
ok...now the pedals....didn't post about these pedals coz i couldn't find a way to get the clutch pedal mounted properly onto the pedal itself...finally managed to get it stuck there for good....hahha....its custom made by my friend from Penang....full carbon fibre....its just purely for looks...no function at all...hahaha...now it looks like PAGANI ZONDA!!...haha....
That's about all that i have to talk about ma babeh...shall update once her shoes are here and installed....still looking around for tyres....confused over whats suitable....heheheh....aight...

Trying Hard to Squeeze da last horse out from da block
Here Comes perfomance stuff....1stly....this wuz installed...HKS Type 1 turbo timer....ok this is not a turbo model...coz da freaking insurance policy in Australia says dat...drivers under da age of 25 are all barbaric drivers...they CLAIM dat we!!!...do not know how to drive/control cars of that sort of performance WHICH IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!!...fine....ok ok ...da reason i installed this device is because it times perfomrance time... (0-100km/h...0-400m...has a voltage meter....RPM meter and shift light...lap timer...and of course...TURBO TIMER...which shuts your engine down after you have pulled da keys out of da HOLE...i like dat function)...aight....had huge problems installing this thing...da timer and voltmeter could be hooked up easily ...but da annoying part is hooking up the RPM and Speed sensor to the ECU...it was a pain in the ass looking for the ECU PinOUts for this model...because SUBARU decided to switch back to a 2.0 litre engine with a totally differeng ECU...after 2months of searching...the mechanic gave up as well...we tested every single pin on the ECU to detect da signal and finally found then...VOILA...its back to life...BTW...this timer wuz taken from my beloved wira back in Malaysia....
Another View of the HKS timer at nite...
The picture on the right....look at the sidewall of the engine bay...there are 2 wires...one is blue and one is black(thick black wire)...they are both by PIVOT Japan...the blue cable is for low end torque and the latter is for high end torque...they are both connected to the negative terminal of the battery at one end...and at the other end...is as shown in the picture below:
I have recorded a decrease in my 0-100 time by 0.2seconds...which is alot for 2cables...expecting a greater improvement once i get the stock spark plugs replaced with Iridium spark plugs...A piece of ADVICE....from wat i've experienced...Platinum plugs are no better than iridium ones although they cost more...but more doesn't mean better...IT INCREASEs YOUR FUEL CONSUMPTION!!!.....so...if you are thinking of changing your plugs to Platinum...DONT!!....use iridium!!...haha...
ok ok ...thats it for now...need to continue my thesis .....shall update soon...

Jessica's makeover
On your left is a 4point harness by Sabelt...its mounted directly on da seat mounting on da rear bracket..initially i thought da supplied bolts will fit nicely but F***....they didn't ....had to hunt around for da right thread pattern and length because da original bolts were too short as well...aight...not its fitted and working perfectly fine..READY FOR TRACK DAY....
Then Goes in a MOMO King Gear knob.yeah...dat round piece of alluminium which will heat up when there's sun shining on it causing the operator inconvenience to operate his machine ...I don't care....i love it and it feels orgasmic in my palm...anyways...it matched da 4-point harness...and its BLUE!!!...my REAL BABY loves blue...(B!!!...don't say i neglect you and pay all attention to her...coz!!!....she's dressed to your liking)....hmmm....then...a few days later...my car passed da period (i'm sorry i can't post da mileage...TOP SECRET) i gave it to run-in and also to make sure its 100% not ROSAK....one fine day after picking up my baby from school...we went to dat yellow shop!!!...YES!!!....bloop bloop bloop bloop finally....been waitin for this moment a long long time...haha....
See my car floating in da air??.... :P
This is a 2.5inch straight-thru muffler...erm...i'm not sure if it's road legal..but da shop guy told me as long as i don't go drifint around in the CBD or start using my handbrakes at 2000km/h....i should be fine...so there it goes...bzzzz...bzzzz..spark spark...2 hours later...
OH MAN!!....sccchhweeetttt....bloop bloop bloop
