Car setup was great...Surprised that my 0-2mm offset rims can work so well...
But, too trigger-happy...Unconsciously banged into Billy during the top 8 rounds...
Quite stunted haha and that really deducted alot of points...
Oh well, at least Billy got first!!! Not too bad of me who lost to first!! Kakkaaa....
Track layout was pretty easy...Used tires with velcro tape and IMO, uber goooddd...
Will keep these tires and try use elsewhere...If they work well, why not? Haha...
Dunno why some say my car very fast, but I didn't do anything to the tires!! Haha...
Would like to join another SGDrifters compy bah...
I really DUN like the community center's logo and etc on the shirt's sleeve...Maybe can bleachhh it off...

F1 Enduro...
Though I never join, but I am GLAD that they told us to let others join...
Would really hate to drive such a fragile car...
Congrats to:
Team Super subs - Expected them to win...Khng, Zhikai and Tony...No surprise...Lolz...
Team PFW - Kinda expect them to win too, with Ken with them I think...Well done having the best time lap...
Team Almost There - A surprise at first, but kinda expect it as drifters have good sense of control...Just that they need to get used to touring...
Team PFW2 - Not really expecting it...But only 2 laps from 3rd, abit suay bah...
Team KBJ - Seemed to be performing quite well before I left...
Team DNA - From the laps, must be car down...
Not gonna join any endurance from now onwards...Got other priorities to take care of...

Junction 8 neh!!!
22nd August 08, Friday...
- Went to J8 at night to help build track...Have to wait for 933FM people to clear before we can do anything...Supposedly we could get the track by 1030pm...Waited till 12am...
- Went home before the track layout was finalised...
23rd August 08, Saturday...
- Went to school for a 3hr lesson from 9-12pm...Even though there's webcast, but I dun want to miss it...
- Reached J8 around 1215pm cos we were released slightly early from lessons...
- The track was bigger than what we planned on Friday night...
Endurance Team AMS - Alan, Marcus, Shawn
- Installed electronics onto endurance car just 1 hour before it started...We rushed to setup the ESC and center the steering...Luckily we managed to finish in time...
- Didn't modify the car setup since the previous endurance at Bukit Pangjang, but surprisingly it worked well!
- Rained and the carpet was wet around the long straight...But managed to avoid touching water as it would make the car spinout or understeer...
- Was doing on par with Team Velociti (Alan, Zhikai, Tim) till they had a damaged ball diff...They were running front one-way and ball diff which is not as good to drive as our all-round gear diffs...Thats what Zhikai said la...Haha...
- By the time Alan went back home and got the spare gear diffs, they were around 200+ laps behind us...
- About 2hours into the race, our spur gear adaptor broke...When we had 49laps advantage over the Team PFW (Martin, William, Jonathan)...Though I had a fright of my life cos my teammates were busy in the pits, we managed to get the car ready in 6min, which dropped our advantage to 14laps...
- Shawn used the Cyclone center spur hub to secure onto the Sprint 2...Thanks to William for pointing out to us...
- Being quite close to losing, I tried to increase the advantage so that if we have another breakdown, there will be lesser laps to catch...Surprisingly the modification held till the end of the race and we had an advantage of 33laps...
- After the modification, I drove gently cos I dun want to damage the mod...But gradually I pushed so I'll know what is the limit to the mod...
- This endurance is the most relaxed one we ever had, save for the spur gear incident...
24th August 08, Sunday...
- First time I didn't lathe the motor at all...
- Tried Jack the Gripper, a traction compound Joe Hwee helped us to order...I'm quite impressed with it, maybe I can use it on my drift tires? Haha...
- Due to oversight by organisers, I was paired up with Joe Hwee on the grouping...Not too good for this race format...But was quite happy as I got someone to pace...
- Found that a stable setting work better...Didn't perform well for the first 3 rounds as the car is abit oversteering...
- Even though I got 3rd overall, was still quite happy...

Around 11 Aug 08...
- School has finally started...Again comes the stupid module bidding and tutorial balloting...How I wish its like poly when they assign you the modules and tutorials...Argg!!
- Petrol prices has dropped!! Previously the price for SPC 95 was $2.22/litre, now it has dropped to $1.98/litre!! Weeee...
- Heard CRVs are the target of car thieves...Seems like any key can open and start the car even with the immobilizer system...Oh crap...Time to change car to Honda Stream? Probably a RSZ version if possible...Hahahaaa...Or my parents' Odyssey would be nice too, while they get another one...Hehe...
- My newer set of T-drifts aren't as grippy as my older set...Dunno why leh...Uncle Martin says its because I run it on rough ground, but my old one I run rough and smooth ground till the tire gonna pop out...Haizz...Maybe I need to put traction compound onto that icy-slidy new set...
- Will be looking for SWP chrome rims around +7 and +10mm offset if I can fit PVC into them...Then I will use my Odyssey shell for the SGDrifters compy...Somehow didn't want to use my WRX as its abit old, and my SX4, cos doesn't seem nice to drift when I tried it on Sat and Sunday...
As for the Golf, I have a feeling its gonna feel the same as the SX4 so kinda...dun bother...
- Where the hell is my 2.4Ghz Mini-Z coming!!! Basssskett...My Ko Propo ASF module is collecting dust!!
- Wanted to try the HPI 15T Drift Meister motor...Getting it if I join the Junction 8 drift event...But saw from Psychophant's car, the motor eat brush like cake sia...So having 2nd thoughts on whether want to join to practice track...Also was thinking of using it for SGDrifters challenge so I need not wait 2 seconds due to failsafe of the Novak GTB...
- Upgraded my TX exterior look!! Cost me $37 @ Taising, but at least it looks pretty neat...
- Playing Combat Arms Online nowadays...Nick is Nov9G...
- Would be going less and less to BK...Cos no point going when the HPI 23T races are at Capitaland malls...As for drift meets, dunno...But will go to drift meets to play...Won't be setting car like last time...Touring-drift or etc, I dun care anymore...
