I can see the smoke before entre the turn 1.... 1st I told was why so many dust!!!!

Canken,
whiteM... naaa..... there r more fast cars that day. But I do like to know who is the white EK civic who spin infornt of me??

 

[canken2]

yes canken that's my ride...i saw one grey eg kena tow..is that you?

anyway i'm not that regular.ha! ha!

no,i was driving the SUBARU blue-color, Putra.

if got chance can i hv a ride in yr Civic type R next time :rolleyes:

 

[Turn1]

Good day, lots of red flags and loads of traffic, not to mention how hot and hard on cars it was.
My Cefiro kept melting all my firewall rubbers and was basically on fire every time I pitted. Rear bumper fell off 1st session.
My ECU went into safe mode due faulty knock sensor and ran really rich, about 40% power drop but I still had a good time.
Can't wait to get things sorted and be back for some improved performance and lap times.
All drivers were pretty courteous and moved aside for faster cars, there were a few exceptions.

Hope to see you all there again soon.

[steadymatrock]

Oh no...Next time must at least put a can of fire extinguisher in the glove box. It might reduce the damage.

 

[Turn1]

My Cefiro is the blue one with the RB26 in it.
Had no rear bumper after first session, blowing loads of black smoke and was on fire each time I pitted. Basically a blue car with a smoke screen. I ran 2:46 with traffic and low power. Should be able to get low 40's next visit. Be sure to come and say hello, I won't bite, I'll just overtake!!

Rgds,

[Turn1]

Every car that ever visits the race track at any level should carry a fire extinguisher capable of putting out a fire of this size!
I feel really bad for this bloke, If I had seen this happen I would have stopped and given him my bottle.
Let's hope it looks worse than it is and hope to see him back soon.
Get yourselves down to ACE hardware and grab a fire bottle. Small investment for big insurance.

2:46 with traffic congestion and low power is a good time if u ask me. my best timing was 2.48 running on my boring potenzo re001 and on a clear track.

anyway any more pics?? do post it here!

 

[Turn1]

I have spent the last 3 months preparing for this track day so I was a little disappointed with the result, a faulty knock sensor cut my power, I was running brand new R888 semi's and 800 deg brake pads, so I would be very happy with 2:48 considering the rubber you had. I thought some of the smaller cars were going really quick!!
I also had brand new coil overs, braided brake lines, brand new turbos, injectors, ECU plus, plus, plus....As I said I expected a little more but that is motorsport, so much preparation and it's all over 3 laps in..
I will be back bigger, better, faster, stronger but not next week. I will have to look into dates for next year.
Does anyone know if you can access Sepang through any car clubs that have private bookings?
Need to get back asap.

are you preparing your car for competition?

anyway you can get in touch with Mr Kumar. he's the person incharge of this track day event. im pretty sure he can help you one way or another. his mobile :0193827961 office:0387782240

 

[Turn1]

Thanks for the tip, I'll get in touch with Mr Kumar this week.

I would like to progress towards time attack comps but I have a long way to go, I'm still at teething stage. For now I just like to go as fast as I can around a track. I have a fair bit of track experience from Australia and once in your blood it's hard to get out. Now I'm living in KUL the saga continues. I've only had the Cefiro for 3 months.
Look forward to meeting you next time. Sorry no more photos from the track only car park shots of the car.

Cheers.

hi there,

there are a couple of Singapore-based car clubs that you could join, they run 6-8 trackdays a year at SIC, time-attack competitions and also various autokhana events in Sg. google: traction circle club (TCC) and SGtrackies.

Cheers,
KJ

 

[steadymatrock]

SG trackies u need to be a member to join. The last when i joined them, they had 80 over cars. A bit too much I think. TCC I'm not so sure but IMO both are money making clubs.
