Renault Megane RenaultSport 250 Track Day In Sepang ( 27th April 2013 )

Wow...  .. It has been a very busy year for me since last year where the work load for both my work and family has been increased tremendously.But anyway i enjoyed it every moment and i'm very sorry for not been active on my posting.

Driving around the Sepang circuit in full course is always what i dream to do and this time i only managed to just sit in this gorgeous Renault Megane 250 sport car  as a passenger ( Taxi Ride ).

Before we managed to head to the open track , there was a long queue at the pit lane about 20 minutes and we ( myself and the instructor ) have a chat about cars , how do i get here ? do i own any sport car now ? when i'm going to get one ? & on....on...It always a interesting topic related to automobiles especially with a professional.

Yup... .. finally we hit the track and he is driving flat out and i was holding firmly with one hand on the top hand holder and another hand on the right hand side on the hip support of the bucket seat.
The driver is pushing this car to the limit without any doubt or what would happen curve head even with the traction button "OFF".
The main reason to turn it off is to avoid under steer , so the car can turn into corners more easily and effectively and is true.

This car is well equipped with stability control where the car central of gravity is low to keep the car attached to the ground even with high speed cornering or sharp turning.The worse thing what would happen is the car will just drift or go side way but it wouldn't roll over unless for any particular reason .( this is only referring on the track )

We have about 3 laps and it was worth it and you definitely going to miss it and wish to come back again with others performance car.
Maybe a Porsche 911 turbo , any BMW M series & ... .. .

Technical Specification :
Engine capacity &
layout                       2 litre turbo ,front position
Horse Power           :  250bhp
Maximun Torque    :  340Nm
Transmission           :  6 speed manual

Mitsubitshi EVO VIII 2005 ( Red Army From The 3 Point Mark ) Autoart 1:43

Whenever there is a new model coming out soon in any car manufacturer from any brand in nowadays especially , the changes will be mostly in sizes , more wider or longer , horse power & torque increased , more refine interior work , more electronic devices / gadgetry ( Gizmo ) and bigger sport rims ....etc.

This 2005 model are in fact the continuation work from the predecessor EVO VII. Because if you take out the door from EVO VII and you could fit into EVO VIII easily , overall everything is almost the same ( at least 95 % ) same goes to EVO XI.

Basically EVO VII till EVO XI is exactly the same body.
The only different is the body kit , sport rims from the exterior and interior wise is also very similar as well.


To me...i  love all the generation of this super icon performance sport car from Japan and it will stick to my mind forever.

Technical Specification
Engine Capacity & Layout   : front ( FR ) 1998CC with turbo
Drive Train                             :  All wheel system

Mitsubitshi EVO VI 1999 ( White angel from 3 point mark ) Autoart 1:43

Mitsubitshi EVO VI was a major break through in term of the new shape design right after the conventional squarish / box form from the predecessor EVO V.
It is a good looking sport saloon car in the early 1999 and it's still look good to me until today.This new model have been improved tremendously in overall perspective.

1.The car body design is higher and more aerodynamic - better
    head room and better view from all direction.   
2.Wider body - better stability especially when comes to high
    speed turning or cornering.
3.Integrated rear spoiler / wing - better air flow and created
    more down force.
4. 17" OZ racing sport rims with wider & low profile tyres for 
   better grips.
   Brembo front & back brakes system and high durability
   suspension system / damper.
5.More horse power ( 280bhp ) and more torque ( 300 Nm )
   with 2.0 litres turbo engine.All wheel drive system.
6.RECARO semi bucket sport seat that will never make you
   feel tired especially long distance trips.

Thanks ,

Kin.

Subaru WRX STI 2011 ( Super Sport Saloon )@Kyosho 1:43

 The hatch back version has comes to the end in 2010 since the production begins in 2008.Now... .. is the return of the saloon version and this one...you will be amazed whenever you look at it and it's getting better and better in every way.

Generally the whole design of both exterior & interior have been redefine into even more sporty rather than luxury.Indeed the Subaru Impreza is a high performance 4 wheel drive sport car which adapted to both asphalt & dirt surface as well as all season weather condition.

This is going to be the most voted sport car of the year from Japan compared to the closest rival the Mitsubitshi EVO X.
This 2 great model are the world greatest rally car since the 90s and even until today.


Thanks ,

Kin.
