Added on August 2, 2011, 1:40 pm15k for 96 satria is abit overpriced. i know she got 4g91 heart but still too expensive for me. if around 10-12k then ok.
ive been browsing for a decent rm10k satrias last month...but come to none...even 4g91 priced slightly over rm10k wit poor cosmetic...4g91 perhaps around rm11-13k...but my frens car is in superb condition...nevertheless...the price is negotiable...so he might selling it cheaper than tat if the prospect buyer came up wif serius offer...
boys and girls... Banshee's final lap in SIC.....up to the kapow
some thoughts after track day....
the 550c brake pads im using are totally NOT suitable for SIC...definitely not for me... when the session started i went out... on the outlap i was actually cruising...wanted to warm up everything nicely (except the brakes coz i already knew they have a tendency to fade pretty fast...so i just did normal braking)... didnt even engage VTEC...reach the back straight then only i started flooring... 1 lap later.. i went into the pits coz the brakes has severely faded after only 3-4 corners...i repeat 3-4 corners....and when i went in...the brakes were smoking like hell already. and i mean REALLY smoking...let the smoke die off and i still decided to go out but had to brake much earlier than id like....and even then, i had to step on the brakes really hard... every time i stopped for a short break at the pits...the brakes would be smoking.. even when my engine blew and i stopped at the end of the start/finish straight, it was also smoking..and as u see in the video... i went all out for only 1 lap before the engine blew and yet the brakes were still smoking...
the pads are decently suitable for daily use....but definitely a huge no for track....they heat up way too fast and start fading way too fast... i cant really say much about the higher temp 800c range...
The pads are paired with APP brake hose and Motul DOT5.1 brake fluids.
ill be looking at other brands after this since i have full intentions of going to the track again.... perhaps EBC or Endless
id still buy these pads for my wife's kenari as its a daily use car and these pads are good and bite really well in that scenario... but for Banshee...ill be looking at something else (after the current ones wear off coz i pokai for the engine re-build hahahhaha)
heres a picture of my rotor after my engine blew... very the blue.....all in all i got roughly about total of 10 laps (not continuous) in SIC
as for the tires.. some of u may know that ive been b!tching about the sidewalls of the T1R being way too soft... and goddammit they are... grip was also pretty bad... i had to turn the steering a whole lot more coz of the massive understeer... the tires also felt like theyre about to be ripped out of the wheels... KU36 is the next target....and mebbe some wider 15" wheels... if only it was easy to find 15x8 +35 wheels here...

so just replace piston? how much is the damage?
because over rev ?
motor sport is not cheap to play...
dunno the cause... i never revved pass 8.5k
damage can be cheap... but i went the expensive route coz i have plans to build up the block in the future so i thought might as well do it now since its open...
piston needs changing...
sleeve needs boring (0.5mm only)
some of the valves need grinding work
also my bearings were scratched, at last service the mech said the bearing makan already coz he saw the blue thingy in the engine oil...so doing that too...
im also getting the engine balanced
