Ya Would If Ya Could

As I'd promised, further updates are in order after the month long slow down in my blogging. Without further ado, I'll kick off our list of activities that you know ya would if ya could!

Leng got us a sweet deal to celebrate in a VIP room at a friend's joint. The place was huge with awesome facilities. Everyone was hyped up for the celebration... But who's that in the background?
Being the ever dedicated mech and workaholic, Fer was using the free internet access to search out some tech specs whilst we partied outside.

Kai Xing was having a ball on stage along with our dancer for the night...

Mr. Daniel "the horny" Civic!Cake cutting is always warranted no matter the location, and being the dedicated people us Northern Touge kakis are, we even included our sponsors list in this pic.

Leng was our silvertongue for the night... This dude could belt it out all night and still keep his voice! Kudos buddy!

During the CNY holidays, Soon had already opened shop to kit an Innova as his initial customer depsite the festivities.

Beautiful job done... Note the red crackers still on the ground as part of the Chinese festive tradition.

A spoiler was later added to complete the look.

Soon was still doing final checks on fit and finish as we were closing up. Diligence ultimate!

On the fourth day a bunch of us decided to have an auspicious touge + makan2 trip in the afternoon. As usual, we met up at Relau Shell, whom graciously allowed us to park and pose for some pics.

We then pushed off for the first stop at the peak of Jln Tun Sardon where we met up with an old friend from Balik Pulau (Blue KE70) and to get some refreshments and "jeruk" (pickled fruits).

We then traversed Balik Pulau and on to Teluk Bahang, through all the beautiful scenery and ending up at the Tropical Fruit Farm for some ice kacang and rojak. Plus, the scene there was awesome and the atmosphere serene.

After a refreshingly relaxed pit stop, the gang continued downward to the Teluk Bahang dam for a photo op.

It was a bright and sunny day out so I thought WTH, why not take a silhouette pic with all the beaut water and scenery surrounding us.

We ended the trip with Daniel (Civic), Soon (Wira GSR), Ewejin (Satria GSR), and Kenny (Wira 4G91) going for a cooling dip in the beach just down the road. Leng (KE70) and Pin (Wira 4G91) traversing back through the Balik Pulau way, and Fer, Joven (Wira GSR), and myself going for a light dinner before leaving for home.

An awesome end to an awesome Chinese New Year. I'm now back in the office... So happy working all! Cheers!

Inaugural TT & T session

Northern Touge had our first Teh Tarik and Touge session on the 1st of January 2010~!!! We all met up at Goodall cafe opposite for some good fare.
I arrived albeit a little tardy and they'd all makan'd liao...

Everyone was having a good time chatting over drinks and burning time.

As the touge session grew closer, more kakis joined in and we had both tables filled up with another group already at the meeting point.

We pushed off and had a nice cruise around to check things out and eventually headed up the touge for some thrills and spills. I had such a good time I'd forgot to even take pics of the cars!

A good start to a new year I'd say.

Cheers all!

The Saga of Pin

I'd recently met up with a godbrother of mine, Ah Pin, whose been delving in his work life so much so that he's missing from the scene for quite some time. And this chance meeting was at Chuan Gee Tires where Bro Fer is on duty. Pin drove his Weber-ised Saga here if only to instigate my emotions for the carb! (Dang you!!! I love these noisy and impossible mechanicals)


Ah Pin's pristine condition 1st gen. Proton Saga. (Lookit the lens glare from the headlights... I swear it's not edited!)

What lurks beneath...
The twin terrors within the belly of the beast.

Look at those beutifully mounted suckers! And those are original Weber trumpets (velocity stacks) mind you!

And bolted, steadily, on Hot Bits sand-casted aluminum intake manifolds designed specifically for the 4G15 Twin Weber application.

Casted and assembled in Bologna, Italy. Weber authentic niii!!!

It's fantastic to see your ride and reminisce of the days of old when all of us were running around with Webers and straight flow pipes... The induction roar and exhaust note still reverberates in my ears!

Oh, I probably forgot to mention that bro Chris (Fer Fer) is a superb Weber tuner and one of the last masters of the art left in Penang. Psst... He installed and TUNED my previous set in 45mins (hardware and brackets all present liao la).

Great to have met you again bro, and thanks for the photo op ;)
