PTLemon, that was a good explanation and useful infos too. Thanks

Anyway, I always believed that forum or any online interactive web based message boards are for information and experience sharing. We are of no position to condemn or citicise anybody in regards to their character, profession, families, car, etc.

I do not care whether it is blade_runner, road_runner, road_run_over, blade_shaver, etc, if he/she comes to disturb the peace and harmony in the forum, the moderators/members should take some actions.

Well, I am a professional in the aftermarket car performance market, likewise for my company and some of the people in this forum. We are here to share our experience and knowledge, bring new insights and new techniques for setting up our cars for our passion, etc. No man nor woman here is omni-potential, as a professional I am, I also have to learn, so let's share, isn't that the spirit of motorsport ?

For Mr Blade_Runner, be nice a bit will ya ? If you want to know more abt D1, no worries, or all you need to do is ask, I believe all the nice people here will share with you tons of valuable information.

I couldnt agree more about what views on forum and interactive online messages PTL and the majority share. It has really taken sharing info and opinions into the next level... BUT i didn't come into this thread to put on a little nice mask and be a little nice although profanity is a no-no. Naturally to condemn and to critisize shows the lack of character one has and so is giving bogus info to the public...

My point is that if the title states "D1 car..." heaps of people will instantly recognize it as a car prepared and participating in the current series of the super popular D1 Championship in Japan. That is the only point i am making and i think that the thread starter is at fault here. Had it been phrased "D1 look alike car from Singapore" i think the hype would not have been so great and response would not have been so overwhelming either. Sure enuff many forummers will attest to claiming that they KNOW its not an actual D1 car, but thats only a minority of the 20k odd forummers that log on here to gather and to share info and views

I do not care or worry whether if you are pt lemon, pt limau, pt apple or pt durian OR sync optima, sync swimming, sync trampolining or sync optical... to give out incorrect info on an event and making a whole bunch of people gather at PD to catch a glimpse of a D1 car to their dismay turned out to be a little not nice trip

For PT Lemon - thanks for sharing your great wealth of experience on motorsports and hope you are able to really seek further on your quest for motorsport knowledge in and arounf this part of the world

 

[.S K A G E E.]

I guess its senseless to talk sense to you


anyway..do I really' don't care or worry' if you're from the marketing department or sales department or parts department..but maybe TC should be informed

Hi Mr Blade_Runner,

Thank you for your comments of which I noted.

If that is your opinion, I accept it . Then tell me how you define D1 car ? If I let go 1 roll cage for the S15, strip the interior, get the from Japan real D1 sponsored decals, the OK sticker and can that be considered a D1 car...? kekekeke :P

basically, any car can be D1 car, D1 car is street legal car with 6 point roll cage and that's it, I am sure if you have a drift car with all the safety things as stated by the D1 rules, you can have a D1 Spec car too.... well... there is no big hype abt it. It is just a marketing thingy from Japan. However not any car can be super taikyu car wor...coz track car under super taikyu regulation is a santioned race and is more strict that D1....Okies.... if you do not like the word D1 on it...can...we change to Blitz Drift Car ? okies abt that ?

Well.... be frenz lah.... I cannot do anything much in regards to your wasted trip to PD, sorry to hear that !

The purpose of the Drift getaway of Sync Optima is to get drifters off the streets and into the proper track for having fun with this sport. I am convinced what they did is noble and so we gave them our best support. Having more and more drifters doing up their cars, having nice stickers on it, etc, makes the sports more fun and more spectacular to watch mah....no offences yah ?

 

[nottyeddy]

if it was becoz of the title.. can ask them to change from D1 car to D1 spec car.. of coz the yet to make it to D1.. but it was prepared according to the regulation.. so it's D1 ready.. just waiting for the doraiba...

 

[.S K A G E E.]

I guess if he were to read beyond the title he wouldn't be as clueless...:(

Perhaps you are rite...hmmm....

No worries.......

 

[ManR34]

And so sorry that you were the only one dissapointed at Blitz Singapore's S15 because everyone else wasn't.
They were infact amazed and shocked by it. Nicely and professionally done car.

And if you wanted to see D1 Japan cars here in Malaysia, fork out the cash and it can be done.
Or better yet go to Japan and check out their events next year.

well it had tiny s15 stock brake calibers!
i guess upgrading brakes is expensive! :D
wat am i saying? every farking tuning part is! DOH!
