The Real Spoiler?


We prolly dont have the chance to go for wind tunnel testing because its just too bloody expensive unless you have the research and development budget to see whats causing air turbulances on your car's surface.

Link was given by Peter.

Redza's AEM CAI System

X'mas came early for Redza this year. He has been dreaming for this AEM intake system for months and finally the parcel arrived.

This system will extend your intake until behind your front bumper. From there you can channel the air flow by either cutting your bumper or using the factory spare holes available.

This cold air system comes with the air bypass valve incase you have rain water sucking into the intake. Living in Malaysia you have to take this into consideration.

He'll be fitting the intake soon as some cutting need to be done to perfectly fit the intake.

It's always been a blue X'mas for Redza.






Redza's Flex-A-Lite Radiator Fan

The FAL fan is part of my list if i decided to use a aluminium radiator. Locally you have the Billion fan which you can purchase to fit your factory sized radiator. The FAL fan has better features and they have variety of models available to suit your requirement.

Redza managed to do the fan comparison and it was obvious after the installation he had more space now. I believe Redza's water temp should be lower now which definitely helps engine efficiency.

No doubt you can find used factory fans from other car brands, but it doest weigh and blows like FAL fans.

The Flexite moulded windows are also my favourite.

Dannnggg!!!

Few weeks back i got myself and my brother the latest HondaTuning magazines. Due to the fact that both of us are fans of wireless engine bays, this issue we considered a collecter's item.

Chase with his Honda K-RX on the frontpage, no doubt he is the king of all online build threads and a locked thread in Honda-Tech. Ha ha.

If you like his work and seeking his expertise, do contact him : http://www.chasebaysonline.com/

Good work Chase, and you might need a bigger suitcase like Delsey or Lojel :)

Ive decided to focus on this particular workshop, R4 Motorsport from Shah Alam. They have been in business for few years specialise in Mitsubishi 4G9x and 4G6x engines. Besides Mitsubishi engines, they also have expertise in Honda B-series engines and Nissan SR engines.

They are open 6 days a week from basic car servicing to engine build-up. Regardless of natural aspirated or turbocharged engines, they can assist both setups and any customers' requirements. Their prices are very reasonable. They are located in Shah Alam district not far from the Kesas Highway exit to Shah Alam.

The compete competitively in Sepang Drag Battle for many years with their own turbocharged 2WD Proton Satria. As you can see from the pix, their latest setup and new paint scheme since the last round which im very impressed.

They plan to run better timings next year with all the results they clocked and developments this year.

All the best to R4 Motorsport.
