road trip on 13th now pixs for your viewing pleasure
 

yo bros n sistas

organising another day trip up north again.
dis time it's on saturday for those working hard on weekdays.
will be back in town by evening, before last light, for those who dun like night driving.

date : 13th aug saturday
venue : second link petronas
time : 0900, gas up and ready to move off
route : first leg up n/s highway,
turn off at ayer hitam to kluang, jemaluang, mawai, by pass desaru,
kg sungai rengit, kota tinggi and jb.

the above mentioned are points of rendezvous.
it's a loose convoy, you can drive at your own pace and hook up at next rendezvous for re-org before proceding to next point of rendezvous.
in dis way no cars will be lost or left far behind.
all rendezvous positions to the next is a direct track with no misleading turn offs.

i've oriedy recce the routes and make sure the road conditions are suitable even for those with bodykit, because i also have, and those with low profile tyres, because i aslo have. pot holes at high speed is not my volks best friends!

light lunch at kluang, seafood high tea at sungai rengit and optional dinner.
ops can be maintained by our walkies within a of 10nm radius and the entire route is covered by our hp network should there be a break in convoy.

note : driving in malaysia is not as treacherous as most make it out to be,
on the contrary it's enjoyable when carried out with planning and sensible driving.
come and try it, if the trip sucked you can flame me openly but not too
hard ya! :D :D

by z way dis trip is organised for rx8 club drivers.
hope to take some pixs on the costal drive between mawai and sungai ringit.

if dis is your virgin trip and you are too shy to post on e web, you can email me at
arrkula@yahoo.com.sg with any questions.

I'm ok on sunday as well. Charles, can we accomodate this?

it's crazier on my end dude!
i'm out station on all the sundays.
in fact i'm leaving for amsterdam the following day after the road trip.
i'm beri sorrie bro.
i will try to organise a sunday trip as soon as my roster allows........

if im in sg...i will go but i dun think i will be back so soon
HAhAHahA...
anyone wants to join me in aussie for a trip up to gold coast?

Bro, how about this coming Sunday?

Now that's someting I'd love to do in a properly modded RX-8 :) What are you driving down there?

no can do bro, i'm in vancouver on dis sunday :cool: and shanghai the next!
you noe i went thr the roster front to back and back to front, i'm shipped out on all sundays till the end of aug!!!
i didn't realise i'm working my arse off, gee i gotta have a word with the office man!!! :mad:

Well somebody gotta keep the planes in the air.

Can i ask a question? as I have not participated one of these drive-ups before... wat is it like? Isit a leisurely drive or izit a mad rush and a test of the Renesis?! :D

fret not bro it's not a mad rush, always a leisurely drive.
onli time we are required to maintain a tight convoy is in kluang n kota tinggi and even then the speed is, u noe city limit, slow....

the rendezvous positions i've identified plus the time i've allocated between each point will allow everyone to drive at their own pace.
u do not have to worry about keeping up with any cars unless u wan to.

certain straight stretches will allow you to test your Renesis while other stretches with a series of bends and turns test your mods like your set up, member brace, suspension and skills too.
i will show you the exact locations on my map when we meet up on the 13th.

you just have to come and experience it yourself mate....
i can't put justice to it with a few words :cool:

Thanxs for enlightening bro... coz my car still virgin comes 13th Aug... guess I will still be running it in... so dun tink I can push it too hard... new engine, must kiasu and kiasi abit... :D

However, as of now, I can't confirm my attendance... coz really dunno if I can make it, if I can, I'll go! :P

no worries bro just drive at your pace 3000rpm plus at 100km/h
guaranteed a minimum distance of 450km clocked, a step closer to running in your engine. :D

Wah, the whole trip 450KM ah?! very sian to drive 450KM one shot and cannot "loot" leh... :( :( :(

well, 450 for a day trip starting from 0900 is pretty short dude
not forgetting the breaks in between for wanton noddles, kopi, roti prata, teh tarik and seafood feast :D
else you can join us in sept but it's gonna take you a long time to run it in unless you clock more at your spare time. :cool:
i might have a weekday trip with some friends to mount fraser in early aug if you are interested but that's gonna be way more than 450km....

will consider this current road trip 1st.... :P

Hi jet

You know the place well, ru from Kluang? It’s about 140 km to Kluang town. Yes the road is in good condition even from Ayer Hitam to Kluang. Tested my RX8 on this roads before.
I used these roads more the 100 times (in my STI) before, my parent lives there.

Count me in!! Thx………….
