Risk free racing?


 
    Today I decided to cut loose my neo along the GCE (Guthrie Corridor Expressway) to test the 0-100km/h sprint and also top speed. GCE nie relatively highway yg selamat la untuk test kereta coz tak ramai org gune (tol bnyk!)..sunyi..& best. Too bad certain sections had no road lights yet.

    After bkt jelutong tol, pushed the neo for the 0-100 sprint..syukur dpt jugak lah clocked around 7.8-7.9 seconds..I'm happy coz it seems that the replacing bullet installed indeed gives a bit of juice on the higher rpms. after that gently went for top speed.. haih.needed quite a long stretch of road..bt finally dpt jgk max up at 190km/h. tapi nothing to be proud of, since even stock factory neo pun can clock 180km/h max speed no sweat.. Bt i'm okay je with it nevertheless..since top speed has never been really a concern for me.. Takan tiap2 hari nak drive >160km/h kot??hehe.tak sanggup eden mati mude2 lg....... (:

    Tapi whatever reasons.. bringing a real car to its limit is a dangerous business. Unless being done at a track which is a controlled environment. But I wonder, how about if can build a car simulator from ps2 game..n main dr bilik tidur je?? haha.kan best tu.. kalau eksiden, tekan je restart button bnyk2 kali.hehe

    Above picture is the logitech g25 set of racing wheels.. Check dekat lowyat, quite affordable! Less than Rm1k.. Minus the bucket seat lah heheh..tu display je.. N its a matter of hooking it up with the old ps2 and some good old car games like Gran Turismo. Buy me this for my 21st birthday, will ya readers? :p
