- 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...

Just noticed...
Just noticed Ian's siggy...
"Why are Yokomo parts so expensive...Guess quality comes with a price..."
My version...
"Why are Yokomo parts so expensive...To see something break nicely comes with a price..."

BBQ'ed @ CHIJ...
Just realise the Racial Harmony Day event was organised by the GRC and not by CHIJ...CHIJ only sponsored the event...Zzz...
So pretty much can see little kids running around and parents...No xiao mei mei...Kakaka...
Will reconsider the judging rules to become more friendly and better...Maybe next time at front wheels over the marked area...
Also the judging stand should have a shelter...BBQ'ed up there!!
Lucky there's only 1 unhappy sentiments by 1 person, kid...
If he thinks that I'm biased towards a certain group of drifters...Let him think that way bah...I cannot stop him thinking that way huh...
He could have voiced out, but why he didn't? Beats me...
If I'm biased, then nobody in the certain group of drifters will even fall into the wildcard category...
In fact thinking back, I was more strict in my judging with people whom I think have the skill, hence I demand more from them...
One part of my judging which I never state clearly is...If you had an accident very near the judging apex, in which I minus'ed 1 point...Then I would not minus point for the judging apex if you didn't make it to my expectation...
* Changing to the best equipment in the world would not gurantee a sure-win...
* Dun like the judging, be a judge yourself!! I didn't go to the trouble of planning etc just to get shot at...
* Dun like me, ban me from your drift meet...Like I care about it...I can always go elsewhere even if it cost me more...Drifting is not the only place I can use my car...
Skali, he also complain SGDrifters' judging...
***A fence is like friendship...A nail is like arguements...Once a nail is punched into the fence...Even if you take out the nail and repair the fence...The hole will still be there forever...

13th July 2008, Sunday...
Nice day nice weather, abit hot but no rain thankfully...
Car was good on Saturday, crap on Sunday...Had oversteer on left turns during my practice runs...Realised that the handout tires were not glued properly...Sad, but lucky that I realise it before the actual heats...
Car became understeer even after sanding the tires and reset the car...Didn't change the settings as I thought it was the tires, and it would become normal after awhile...I was dead wrong...But got TQ 1st for qualifying...
In the 1st main, I was still understeering and thanks to Joehwee for giving me a little slap, I flew and dropped down to at 6th or 7th place...Managed to chase back to 3rd position by 3:30 minutes...But I couldn't catch the top 2 as my car was simply understeering too much...
Back to the pits and changed the front camber from -1deg to -2deg after noticing the slight uneven wear on the front tires...
2nd final main..I had slight oversteer, making the whole car abit twitchy but still driveable...Wasn't able to get consistent laps, but managed to pull or maintain distance from the rest...
Thanks to few guys like Lorenzo, Eric for letting me pass when I came around lapping them...
Also thanks to Joseph for helping me to tune my motor on Saturday...
2nd Overall ranking on the Series 1...
I was tied in points with Marcus for best overall 3 races...But he had 5/5 race attendance while I had 3/5 race attendance due to exams...
Oh well, I dun really care about ranking...Just having fun with friends would be sufficient!

5th July, post compy; feedbacks' feedback...
Saying that I dun deserve to be a champion is alittle harsh...Well, I admit...I probably be 3rd bah...
Friends that are not friends, yet friends...
Someone created an account on Rctech just to comment on that match between Winson and me...Oh well, I kinda guessed who will do it...
'Palia', I dunno what this meant, but I guess its about biased judging or something near that...
Me using a Tamiya 416 vs Winson using a Cyclone...And this is a Tamiya event...Personally I dun believe Marah will be biased based on product, as he's not really a staff of Tamiya...Nothing gained from being biased to me...
Its not like "Because 416 is winning, so it proofs to be a way better car for drifting and touring!!"...
I seriously dun believe Tamiya can sell more 416, retailing at $720, just because someone has won afew compy with it...
To me, I kinda feel like someone shooting seeds at me from sour grapes...

5th July, post compy...
I dun like 0 or +2mm offset rims...Never was and never will...
Had understeer problems thru out the whole event...Performed pretty well on the straights, but was understeering inside...
Never had that problem with my +6 +9mm rims before...Wrong decision to put the new Super Driftech tires onto the 0mm rims...Although I never used them...Probably gonna sell the spare as I have 3 sets now...1 for tarmac, 1 for carpet, 1 spare...
Personally I didn't drive cleanly and was quite nervous...Didn't had the car in proper control and somehow nudged alot of people...
There was a loser pool again, where those who lost got a chance to come back...Probably due to lack of participants, so they need people to make up the top 16...
I find difficulty in facing some opponents...Won't mention names here...Haha...Just hope to be better next round...Gotta find a good setup with 0 or +2mm offsets...
This time I used my dust-collecting WRX...A big bang at the rear thats all...Haha...No damage, but I think its gonna go back to the shelves again...
$20 for a set of drift tires, a trophy and experience that cannot be bought...Well, an extra $13.80 for indoor parking vs $11 for outdoor HOT parking...$2.80, somehow ok la...

4th July 2008
- Checked out Leisure Park at Kallang...Track isn't up yet at 5pm...Hope the layout would be simple...
- Kinda lost when my 23T touring car isn't as fast as it should be...Maybe I should use another style of Step charging? Haha...Motor lathe le, still slow as hell...
- Gonna try 0 deg castor on my 416...Hope it will perform as well as I planned...
- Gonna get the KO Propo 2.4Ghz Mini-Z ASF module and modify to Futaba use...Probably need to spend $150 to get the module and the receiver board for my Z...Then I can sell off the AM module and the old receiver board for $80 or so...
- Next week HPI 23T race...Hope to be in podium...
- There's 7-11...So drinks and snacks are settled...
- I dun see any fastfood...So probably have to go to the drive-thru before arriving...
- Open-air carpark G or indoor? Hmm...I think open-air better...Cheaper by $6, but hotter by 10deg celcius...
- Hope I get a parking slot next to the entrance...Then no need to walk so far...
