Green Monster gets Slammed!

I've been testing Mark's green monster (ori Satria 1.6) recently and sadly, it's always been in the rain or in the wet. Luck was on our side this Sunday evening and I finally had a dry run in the Green Monster.

She's a zippy little bugger around the Batu Feringghi and Vale of Tempe route, nippy handling and very obedient to fast direction changes even though running on 14" Miche-licins :P I loved the mid turn adjustability and it's ability to really tuck into the corner while portraying a slight hint of oversteer!
However Mark, being the greedy little bugger that he is, took upon himself to change to a new set of wheels by Monday afternoon. The Green Monster is now slammed on 17"s and well shod with Nankang's NSII performer all round, he's almost ready for this Sunday's track excursion.
Check back for brakes and suspension tuning.

The Hairy One - Refurbished

Soon's car had recently just got out of the workshop due to the prior mishap at "the twisties". He has since encouraged and motivated himself to get back on the proverbial horse to attempt faster lap times and has been making lots of corrections since.

As such, he'd found that if there's one thing he needs, it's more and sustained grip from the tires. The previous set of 15" Duro tires were just wearing thin and wearing him out reining them in all the time. In preparation for the track days and touge sessions to come, he'd changed to a beaut set of OZ Superleggera replicas, and upsized to 17". The size increment will help prohibit some of the effects when he gets on boost.

It's an intriguing yet gratifying feeling to watch a turbo'd front wheel drive take on the twisties of Penang, which the local authorities built without any thought of putting in straights. All Soon needs now is a decent set of tires and he'll be ready to blast off!
