Race! Nick vs White suzuki swift

Race! Nick vs White suzuki swift turbo

We already know whats in Nick's car and this evening, we have one of the fastest white suzuki swift turbo pitting against Nick's suzuki swift sport turbo at the start line. Whitey has done up quite a bit on his car that you can safely call it a swift sport if it make you feel better. Inside whitey, we have already suspected a swift sport engine, we know for sure it has cosmetic head gaskets to lower the compression ratio to 9.5:1 in comparison to Nick's 11:1 compression ratio, the difference in compression ratio is massive. With a lowered compression of 9.5, boosting 1.3 bars is not an issue. So, you have Nick boost 0.7 bars this evening, while whitey, well, lets just say he boosted 0.8 bars :)

Whitey has a suzuki swift sport gear box, with a modifed final drive which means the car with the additional bhp now pulls longer and harder than before. Reaching top speed on this ride is not a problem. Turbo, it will be a TD04 on whitey and vf8 on Nick's ride. Both runs with similarly sized intercooler except that the way the piping runs around the car is different, the setup on both cars is also significantly different. Sam has his uncanny way of twisting and turning the pipings and his signature argon welding marks can be easily recognised by connosieurs island wide.

History on whitey tells us that he used to be a common sight in drag races and it is only lately that he seemed to have mellowed down a little, but watching him race, the years of racing experience made his car stood out, making nick's first run look like a dog.

Both cars starts off as normal and upon crossing the imaginary starting line, both cars will sprint for the remaining 15 lamp post. Rolling start. Run 1 starts off with nick looking farking newbie. hahaha... Whitey's seasoned drag race experience sends his swift sport sprinting forward with Gusto! Dunno what the fark nick was doing, then out of no where, Nick woke up from slumber, he floors the accelerator. That moment, the entire race strip was filled with Nick's powervalve exploding ear deafening exhaust into the serene nightscape. I stood up unto the road's railing inching forward.

Before the race, I bet on Nick to win. Sam on the other hand, betted on Whitey. His bet on whitey sends butterfly in my stomach, deep down, I hoped for Nick, my bet usually tied to reasons that is not related to hardware, which made me bet on the car I tuned mostly. For sam, it is about winning. Winning the farking bet. His bet is usually tied to hardware, turbo and usually never about emotions, winning the bet is paramount mostly.

Nick clears gear 2 closing the gap from 2 car length to half car length behind whitey. Nick engages gear 3 and clearly lacking the speed in gear shifts, whitey inches forward to extend the distance with Nick trailing now by 1 car length, Nick forces the car to sprint harder, this time, closing in to the original half car length, a little more, he will be side by side with whitey, 2 lamp post remains, nick fails to close in and lost race 1.

"chee bye" I shouted. Sam laughing away, wide smiles and very happy with his predicament. "lam par la..." Knn, really CB feeling lor. Although I know nobody expected Nick to win this race, as a matter of fact, even whitey is here to tear Nick. Everyone expected this to be a simple bench marking session for nick, with whitey's scrutinizing Nick's turbo kit, and commenting negatively on the way nick's car has been setup, everyone was here to see whitey's car perform. Nobody expected a side-by-side, half car length lost. But, for being so attached to Nick's ride, I felt like fark.

Nick and whitey stopped by the road side 50 m in front of us, alighted to talk cock. hahaha... race 2 commences shortly.

Both cars rolling to starting line. This time, CB nick sprints together with whitey. Nick shot in front by 1 car length. Excellent start. This CB nick is a fast learner I admitted! But before I mouthed the words, Nick hits 7000 rpm rev cut. Powervalve announces nick mistake without a tinge of embarrasement. CB! Gear 3 engages after 4 counts of rev cut blast, whitey closes in on nick pulverized his head start advantage to half car length behind Nick. Nick wacks the car hard and turbo spools very very hard to overcome the lost momentum of his 1050kg ride and maintained the half car length advantage with the rpms sweeping past 6500 rpm and with the stress and andrenaline of seeing himself in front, the engagement of gear 4 is Pro! Zero lost in momentum. One fluid motion. Gear 4. Nick floors the accelerator and guns past the finishing line. I punched wildly in the air as Nick's powervalve blasted by! "CB! WIN!!" I was thrusting my dick on the railing celebrating the win!

"Wow! damn fast lor" sam said. "I farking dun care lor! hahaha..." I said laughing.

Race 3. Nick's gaining massive experience and he looks born for andrenaline. My heart was pounding hard with thought on engine longevity as these 2 farker seems to be testing and pushing their engines to the farking limit. Then we heard Nick's exhaust letting off some strange bubbling sound! " Fark! " Sam said. "what? similan chieow?" I asked. "Nick's engine gone liaoz"... "Fark!" I said.

Rolling to the start line... and GO! Nick's gear shift on 2 still needs some serious tutorial by xiao jian. Nick is oblivious to the condition of his engine and guns like he races for a living. Again, Nick crosses the finishing line first. This time, the mix feelings of hardware failure and joy of winning inter-twines itself. Nick senses our mixed feeling.... sam asked, "hey! did you hear the engine bubbling sound?"

Nick, " When?"
sam " when you drove past us just now on the opposite side"
nick " ooorrr....thats because I hit rev-cut... forgot to change gear..."

***slap head***

now all of us beaming with joy and andrenaline, laughing and making all sorts of cb and knn things... then when whitey drove up, the feeling was smoothered.... well, out of respect and sportmanship... No, its just trying not to be a CB asshole.... hahaha

Whitey's seasoned racing experiences is evident as he alighted with composed countenance. No expression. Lighted his malboro, and congratulated Nick. Hand shakes and off we go for kopi.

Kopi shop talk is kopi shop talk, full of crap and rubbish... Mostly I can see that whitey is a popular figure in this community and well respected among them.

From someone who did so much, knows so much and seen so much, someone who once scrutinized nick's setup, to say this. I admit. Very Man! He even recommended nick a few tip on modifications to enhance his ride further. That too received approving nods from sam and me... a better final drive for Nick. 1.5 way LSD. kekeke....

Anyway. this evening, a time of celebration, we know, out there, there is another higher mountain, but like whitey said, sometimes, making the car too fast and be a pain to drive without endangering lives. He said to make it faster would be insane... which indirectly mean nick's has reached a mental bhp cut?.... thats tomorrow I guess... tonight. We celebrate.

Congrates to Nick! That made our day.
