time flies, in a blink of any eye, everything is so different, visited several bicycle shops... wow.... everything change, from rapid fire shifters + triggers to double rapid fire shifters.... components from LX changed names to SLX... so on and so for... well some say there's a need to keep up with time, true to an extent, as time goes by technology changes, mostly for the better, however, sometimes, its more then just pure hardware and technology, emotions perhaps. i didnt feel comfortable with the change of shifters, fumbling with a bicycle, something that i was using for more then a decade... i still found the older version more comfy to ride with. likewise, with einstein, it felt like an arcade game, the shifters felt good, the sound of the gearbox was great, even with the stock backfire, it sounds really good... but i really do miss the old fashion gear shift, clutch shift clutch and throttle... the sound of the bov fluttering, the bushings rubbing the lever, ... just old fashion. Yes, today's cars and bikes are better, in terms of geometry, handling, technology, everything, its just the reminiscence of the "old technology" and old times, bring me back to who i really am, what i really like doing, and realize, there was never competition, it was just all about me, and yes, it rocks.... People usually ask, if you could turn back time, would you regret or choose a different life? the answer is no. its better to have experienced then not to at all. i have enjoyed every bike, every car i owned to the fullest, i wished for more, but not much can be done, times change, things phase out, things wear out, only memories remain, for a while that is, it will go as age catches up. All that's needed to be done is to continue, looking forward, making the best out of everything, every situation and every ride ~

ignore this post. ramblings of a confused guy.

2months later......

with the front of the car being heavier and engine mounted in front of the wheels, it seems like the wear of tyres is worse on the front then the back... openning the rear camber more then the front might help the car to push its butt into the corner.... or maybe stiffening the rear suspension alone? mabye bcuz of the inbalance power output with all 4 wheels, 60F40R, if the heldax? controller really works, then its a definite good buy... 150clicks is when there is a starting slight difference in the car's handling(stability) compared to the previous ride.... power lost after 145clicks. previous ride had much more stability comparing stock shocks, it boils down to the rear spoiler and the 50-50 power output balance. 60f40r might just be to pull or push the front mounted engine. tweaking it's power might have an effect on its chassis as the chassis might not be able to withstand the power upgrade and lose power there, also the gear box....re balancing the car... lighten muffler would make the back lighter, BBK makes the already front even heavier, rear camber might do the trick in corner for balancing, but i do have a feeling that only a stiffer rear spring would be a good option, but stiffer rear only to balance 60f40r, but without efficient grip from the tyres it might give the back out, corner at 170clicks(estimate) already threw off the rear with a little braking, there's too much weight in the front, adding weight in the back will slightly balance the weight distribution, but definitely slow down the already slow car. Gear6 3200 rpm has a reactive point, but the pull is still too slow. guess i am just used to the high end power, and am not used to the low end torque feel yet.

going down 99, the gear shifts are the issue, more or less, i know which gear and what exact power band i need inside the course, but the clutch doesnt grip enough, the clutch lag happens to be a double lag when shifting gear, you wait for 1 "time" then 2nd "time" then the clutch goes in, which spoils the exiting speed. the entry speed is ok, but the exit speed was delayed due to the clutch being too slow to engage and power doesnt come immediately due to the clutch not the power band issue. basically, the rear downforce is much needed, adding a spoiler would be great but also makes the car slower.

lightening the front rims only will affect the power output as well, so thats a no no, there has to be something to lighten in the front of the car to balance it up.

the gear ratios are rather small, so the pick up till 140 is pretty sufficient , very city driving car, but not a top end car compared to the previous ride. gear 3 and 4 seems to be the most efficient for mid speed cornners, 140-180?

the radio truly sucks, even running in the speakers, playing an opera cd in the radio in front of a singer would make the singer commit suicide.

back to the tyres, gripper front tyres>? or maintain all high grip tyres, even so, the rear likes to lift and shift/slide........remap + spoiler to maintain the current balance?

i realize that i still miss my manual tranny gbox.... wow... its a real hassle driving to wrk with the auto cuz of the jams and the quick need to brake all day long... now it does seem weird as auto trannies would be the best for jam....
i totally am so into getting a new wrx.... i so miss that manual transmission.... raw power..... well, tts me... look at it now, no matter how tiong it gets, its an auto... worse still, one that's so "smart" that it auto adjust the air con even on manual, the gears just won't listen.... there's no clutch, so my left leg's always looking for a clutch and found it... = the brake.... ah shit... i want a manual sti.... and i remember what i say when i was much younger, my 24th year old goal.

last nite, was on some errands, pretty long drive, was cruising @ 70++ km, was trying to keep awake so went into manual mode, it din felt good, i miss that car that had squeaky wipers, always needing to be rev higher to keep in the power band, the feeling's just not right. the new ride's great in its own way, but a different thing altogether, i became one of those idiots whom i always complain about driving a performance auto ride. Yes alot of super cars are auto, thats because the rich don bother with the little technical details of a race application etc, and a supercar is out of my league for now. But still, it aint gonna give you the same feel as a ripped up manual car. Last nite drive reminded me of how i was running in my 1st ride. slowly , changing gears to maintain a rev movement.... this morning, i suddenly remembered, i had took a photo of the company who bought saber1 , and i realize, hey, even though someone might have fiddle about the car and treat it like a junk, if lady luck shines on me, i might able to undo my regrets, and go after the goal i was aiming for since day one.

Mood-less

2010-08-09T19:05:00.000-07:00

Its tuesday, start of the week, and am pretty moody about everything, blues i guess. Am missing my old imperfect ride but perfect ride. collected my new ride last weekend, perfectly good ride only in S mode, the D (dumb mode) was bad, tyres were fitted on by the manufacturer to get the timing, which happens to be less grippy tyres that cannot hold the horses down. well, am not used to the car and found the "clutch" with my left leg which led to a good bang on the chin and throat while parking. lets hope adapting passes quickly. There seems to be so many things to do.... and no mood to carry on typing. logging off.

An old song just came up on my ipod, wow, an old favourite.

Hey do you remember? futari deatta
Time goes by kisetsu to onaji niyoi sa
Marude kimi wa hikari no you ni
You're my jewel boku ni hohoemi kaketeta
Fuzaketari toki ni wa kenka mo shita
Ai ga nani ka mo wakaranai de
Yes do you remember? yatto kizuita
Jewel in my heart kimi ni mukau kono kimochi
Donna fuu ni mitsumeta nara tsutaerareru darou
Sono egao o ikutsu mo shiritakute
Mayoi nagara musubi nagara toki o koete dreams come true
Itsu no hi ni mo kimi wa towa no kagayaki
Wow wow
No I can't forget you kakegaenonai
Dear my jewel tomodachi ya kazoku mitai
Samui asa yoseau shiroi iki ga
Tsutaeru omoi shinjiteite
So I can't forget you fushigi na kurai
Jewel in love itoshisa ga afurete kuru
Dore kurai no toki ga futari tsutsumi komu darou
Kazoekirenu dekigoto o hakon de
Yasashii haru mabushii natsu sabishii aki fuyu mo
Yakusoku suru kimi no sobade nemurou
Wow wow hu hu
Donna fuu ni mitsumeta nara tsutaerareru darou
Sono egao o ikutsu mo shiritakute
Mayoi nagara musubi nagara toki o koete dreams come true
Itsu no hi ni mo kimi wa towa no kagayaki
Forever jewel in my heart

My birth year is jinx, and the birth year was a part of the contribution to the new ride, frm the model to it's paper wrk to a mis communication n many other unspoken problems politically. Jinx frm the start, let's hope it doesn't get even more jinx with me ending this pathetic body of mine with the new crappy ride... Well crappy drivers deserve crappy rides.

4years, 8 months, and counting.

It happened so quickly, too quickly and its all ending...

***1 week ago***
i stripped her bare, back to where it all begin, took a week to re-understand, re-built trust, re-built confidence.

***Present Moment***

Flanking, 45 degrees, WOT, it was back to basics, windows down, techno party remix on, though it never felt the same, it felt good. Alas, the clock is ticking, time is moving slowly, we were once one, and now to be torn apart, but we made it, achieved it, shared the moments. Thanks for saving my life, Thanks for all the fun, Thanks for all the adrenaline, Thanks for blowing a hole in my wallet, Thanks for all the company, Thanks for all the great times, Thanks for all the experiences, Thanks for everything, Thank you so much. i only have myself to blame for not be capable enough to hold on to you. All that i could squeeze out was a few things to remember you by. Sayonara and Honto Ni Gomenasai.
