Thanks to blue_hippo of the K2oC (Kenari & Kelisa Owners Club), I have a spanking new 4-point TRS seatbelt racing harness to keep my butt firmly in place during those fast 2G sweeping corners. Have been looking for a harness for some time, and was actually about to commit to a 2nd-hand Sabelt. Then this [...]

A Typical Petrolhead Saturday
What do 3 petrolhead friends do on a Saturday? Why, we drive, we drink lots of teh tarik, we mod our cars, we dyno and we go home of course! Canken’s Putra STi Prozac, in his Satria R3 #0006 (the first buyer of the SR3, by the way) and Canken, in his monster Promote-kitted Putra [...]
Black Stallions Invade SIC
The morning started off early as 4 Satria R3s (No.6, 7, 8 and 9) assembled at Dengkil Rest Area with Faisal (R3 Marketing) and Amin (R3 Media Manager) in their Proton Perdana Pace Car. It was quite a sight to see a small convoy of ‘Incognito Black’ hot hatches led by a fiery red Perdana [...]
Rubber Burning With Lotus Club / Track Day Tips
A total of 10 Satria R3s will be joining 20 Lotus cars for a special track day at Sepang International Circuit tomorrow morning. For most of us, except car no.6, who popped the cherry last weekend with the K-cars at the Japan K4 Grand Prix, this would be THE inaugural track day. And for the [...]
Mine’s Bigger Than Yours, bruv!
We had a mini gathering of sorts – the four Satria R3 owners at Revolution, a workshop located off Old Klang Road, on Saturday morning. I met Luke, owner of car No. 0013 at Jalan Gasing before we had breakfast near the workshop. Luke pointed out another inconsistency with the Satria R3s. Noticing that the [...]
Crash On Being Aligned, and Ultimately Straight
I had an eventful weekend, more so on Saturday. The day started early with breakfast before zipping down to Revolution – the workshop which I frequent, for service and mostly mods. I had to wait for a bit for Sam, the alignment pro, who was out for lunch. The alignment settings gone berserko! As you [...]
Life at 2000 clicks
“Tweet tweet, tweet tweet”, goes the stock alarm of the black stallion some of us know as the Satria R3. Then the Captor. I open the unfamiliar door and wiggle my way into those snuggly red-black Recaro SR4 semi-bucket seats. Adjusting it slightly for optimum reach and leg positioning, I grip excitedly on the MOMO [...]
Satria R3 – 850kms and counting
It’s been exactly a week and 850kms have passed. I have 150kms before the much-anticipated 1,000kms mark. I can’t wait for the first service to get all the metal gunk out from the engine block with a fresh supply of engine oil. Fuel consumption seemed to have improved a tad since the first refuelling. Numbers [...]

Addicted to Drive
My apologies for the silence. Been too busy driving. Would love to have said “too busy driving fast”, but that would be lying. Not that I’m not tempted. Since getting my car precisely 3 days ago, I’ve done 400kms. I’m attempting to run-in the car as quickly as I can. Getting a little impatient running [...]
