K-Sport GT Pro Coilovers


I've got an offer for this. Supposedly, it's the same thing as the D2 but at cost price which way below any other on the market (published £526.81) and yet I just don't know whether to bit the bullet or not. Spec wise is pretty impressive but ride will not be soothing to my spine as the spring rate circa 7kg fr and 5.3kg rr. Key features of this coilovers:

-Inverted steel shock absorber for durability
-Lower center of gravity and higher chassis rigidity
-Designed to reduce friction for cooler shock oil temperature
-Inverted design like vehicles in WRC and all JGTC cars
-36-way adjustable dampening
-Made from high quality 6061 Aluminum with T6 for increased hardness
-Compression/Rebound adjustable
-Adjustable spring perch for height adjustment
-Adjustable body allowing maximum suspension travel
-Pillow Ball Top Mount w/ adjustable camber (not available for some models)
-Monotube High Pressure Design reduces oil leakage
-Electroplated body for protection from corrosion and rust

Arrrgghhh!

Baking donuts .... sincerely yours -Skyfiro-

Remember about my brief drive on the drift prepped Cefiro few months back? Now, have a look at the car doing donuts driven by the owner himself. How I wish...

ADAC Polo Cup

I let the images do the talking. This ADAC VW Polo Cup running on tuned 2.0 ltr NA VW engine mated with 6 speed manual boxes from VW Lupo GTI. Quite popular entry level racing championship in Germany.







Grooming session - the slow, cheap but definitely special

The last time Pocong receives skin beautifications session was slightly more than a year ago and he’s badly in need one now. The problem with me is that I’m a bit tight on cash now where just a month ago he had a set tyres change and I just moved to a new place and for that, my cranky wife keeps on blabbering for this & that for our new home leaving me for no choice but to DIY. And the day is today.

I first went to under coconut tree shop for normal wash as early as 8.00am and got it done an hour later for merely RM8. Quite pricey where I ended up having to wipe the car again on my own after half cooked job they’ve done and don’t get me started on having to wait for an hour. And I can even further be annoyed with the rims not cleaned properly!

Only about 9.30am, the actual spa session commenced. I started off using PermaGlass Tar Remover to clean visible contaminants especially on lower half of the car before applying PermaGlass Polymer Sealant to do so called polish & wax layer on top (twice). Then TurtleWax Clear Vue for the windows and headlamps; and then Ambersil Dash & Trim for the interior trims and exterior rubber parts.

A solid 4 hours job and the end result won’t match the quality of Carnauba AutoSpa, Autoglym or Meguiars finish, nevertheless I’m pretty content. At least, there’s some layers on top of the paintwork to shield from our monsoon acid rains and dirts for 3 months. And the cost is pretty cheap too :)

On another note, I took the Pocong for a drive using Ulu Yam road a day earlier where this time it was dry. My praise for the RSR went a notch higher with it sticking the tarmac like it doesn’t know how to loose grip. Only I wish the car has more power. 200-210hp on wheel should make it psychopath again. Custom FMIC and Ah Heng’s downpipe might do just that. Got to start saving then!


An hour!

Had to borrow my auntie's porch

Plenty of contaminants just my phone camera don't reflect that

First layer done, now onto second one

I'm pretty content with the job

This is better reflection of that compared to previous one

Still couldn't remove all of the dirts

Ok lah
