World of change

Yes, its been while...

I am no longer tuning cars for Sam. Finally... hahaha... I know many people including workshops have been waiting for this day for a long time. It is difficult to some extent to sum up a long story into a short narrative text and to keep things simple, you no longer have to depend on Sam being the only soul in this hellish road raged world, to attend to your needs if you require my services.

For a while now, in fact, for the last 6 months for the matter, Sam have been tuning car himself and in fact, I wouldnt even know you or had seen your car before if you have had your car been tuned by me during this period. Beside those who knows me personally, and have specifically requested for my services, I'm guessing, and hope that you understand that in the world of business, people does change and in business sense, it may be more viable to do away with additional expenses and earn that extra few cents if possible.

With all due respect, this business sense thing is crap to me. I still wanna retain that transparency and honesty I have carried with me all these years and will continue to provide that level of credibity.

In the market, as some you already know, exists workshops with exquisite skillset and attitude. Being able to speak freely, BMS, BKS are experts on subarus and their after sales services is beyond doubt. Man exhaust have been around for ages and being the first workshop to install a turbo kit for a NA car, this fact itself speaks volume. GTR technology are professionally known to build that fastest rotary engines and apex seals and the know-hows of maintaining or modifying a rotary engine, they are second to none. GTR is also a no-frills workshop who does customization to the customer's budget. I mean, if you're real tight on a budget and just wanna get thing up and running on a low-cost itenary, they would be your Value-Air of today.

As you already know, there exists also a community of tuners enough to populate an entire pulau ubin and have kids enough to run a community center, and it is also worth noting that tuner themselves also have their preferred workshop to perform a preferred task. Like for example, BKS rebuilds a WRX engine in 4 days, and installs a new 2.5L engine in 1 day. Man exhaust builds custom turbo kits in 2 days. Yes, it is that fast. And appointment basis only. It is also re-assuring that you get the attention you need once your car is there and have an assured delivery.

I saying that in the realm of car modifications, there are a plenty of options and it is thus important that someone, with a non-bias and non-business oriented approach explains to you whats important and where to do the stuff. It is also important that that someone exercise his clout to get the best possible deal on your behalf and not have any strings attached to the package.

No worries, I'll now hang out at Ah boy's shop at #05-13/14. I'll erect my own signage asap. Thats gonna be a ego thing for me of course, and fark the private parties thingy, let have it in my own workshop. Yes, my very own one.... :)

This article is meant to remember Ah boy's encouragement and his efforts to pull me out to take a damn good look around. His constant reminder that I have to continue tuning cars with that unwavering honesty, non-business approach to people. I remember those who wonder why I tune cars for sam while there is a world of opportuniny out there. I can now freely tune a car that is reliable and place cap on car to keep them running healthy and happy.

People hate it when I cap a car's horsepower. hahaha... it is like sex, you wanna bang it hard and fast, but, you wanna also slow down sometimes... you know, pre-ejeculation aint gonna make her smile alot. kakakaka.... if you kept on banging for an hour, you get blisters. Soap aint gonna help bro. Soap only makes it smoother but, those blisters are still gonna appear.

Stay tuned... I have a half-cut TS coming along the way. HV racing does the setup for a cool 4000 RM !! Yeah, damn cheap. The car has been running for 2 years now, and owner have saved enough molla now for a professional tune up session. Price wise, cheap cheap bang bang, I'll leave enough for him for a couple of woohaa, thats for sure...

meanwhile,keep smiling and drive safe.

ps: JX, thanks for asking me to update my blog for the 10th time now... cheers!!

Vin the CB

Yes, cb busy doing all sort of freaking rubbish shit, no time to blog.

Hope you guys are still wanking and keeping the flame alive! Where the fark is JiaXiong??? I miss your GF la, long time never see her liaoz... I remember a japanese styled hairdo, a silky complexion and eyes that melts my heart away. Her image I play again in my mental projector, the moments in time replay and I see it again, that feeling of youth and energy, I see it again.

I told Ah neh, going 800 bhp is no easy route, those who walk this path usually takes a hell lots of working the parts and a long journey to build up those horses. Well finally, after 2 long grueling weeks of work, the car is finally ready.

We have in the bay, pistons, con-rods, ARP head studs, sleeves, valves, and super high lift cams and many many more. Turbo for this project is again, Sumo.

The results on this ride? Fabulous. Well, for starters, Ah neh, is already clocking 550 bhp on his previous setup and god knows why he want more now. For someone who already experienced 70kg of torque and 550 bhp to say this new ride rocks! OMG! My advise to him, find his new targets as Lambo, ferraris or Skylines and make subaru proud brudder! hahaha

Forget about the usual Boxer exhaust from the subaru engines. These puny fries are pretty tamed sounding compared to a subaru running on high-lift cams. hahaha. Vin asked me why the idling sounded like this. hahahah.... newby syndrom.

Gear 1 on this ride, shows a cool 1.5 bars as early as 4000 rpm, with boost of 2 bars (for starters) at 6000 rpm. Car shoots forward like Apollo 13 and that seat of the pants feeling are seriously suitable for WRX owner who lost that first time feeling of "G" forces. 90KG of Torque propeling 1.6 tonnes forward, gear 2 sing to to the same tune. Gear in, floorrrr.... Car propels like a rocket with 2 bars and defi complaining out-of range! hahaha... yes, for those who have never seen this before. It farks up the reading big time hahaha...
Gear 3. Yes, again. With a wrx long 3, this car pulls as hard as gear 1. So hard, you see the rpm swips together with the speedo. If granma panties smashes the windscreen, please leave it there.
Gear 4. Keep your eyes focused. With speed in excess of 160, 90 kg of torque, boosting this much on a Sumo turbo. Skyline are as fast as a wrx to my picanto.

I enjoyed screwing this ride so much, I'm gonna ask Vin to come back for some 'fine-tuning' hahaha... Geylang needs some waking up with powervalves and boxer on cams.

Verdict:
Nothing come close, literally.

Sam is the only farker complaining of back aches around, hahaha... Vin, I'll help you Anwal him later for taking so long to build this 800. hahaha


drive safe and stay funky
