Days are always an adventure. Especially when you LEAST expect it. What appeared to be just another regular day, turned out to be one with a tinge of sweat, mixed with slight feeling of stupidity and embarrassment. Heh. In desperate times like this, it’s comforting to have extra hands to assist! Thanks SJ + Jase! [...]

Bad Karma
I was going to write about my recent trip to Danga Bay, Johor for the Street ShootOut 1.5 Competition. And also the attempted break-in of my Satria R3 on Saturday morning. The past couple of days has been a mish-mash of frustration, helplessness, disheartenment, adrenalin, laughter, disappointment and anger. Feel free to throw in more [...]
Kinky Harness Anyone?
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 [...]
