Kuala Kelawang With Northern Friends

On Friday, we recieved one sms from Steven of Team Hillraiders telling us that they will hold a gathering with touge enthusiast coming down from North part of Malaysia somewhere near Genting Sempah touge. And he said that Touge King of Cameron will be there as well. At first we thought that there will be some touge shodown that night and we was just wanted to come and watch. But it turned out to be that they have some ‘unfinished business’ here to take care off on a few things.. And yes, they’ve did it well..!

On saturday night, we all gathered at Steven Corners Cafe in Pandan Indah. There was just Burn and Azuri of KANSEI that managed to meet up with all the buddies from north. Other members was outstation currently. Kura is in Bali, Indonesia, Mat Gen is in Kelantan – busy preparing for his wedding soon, Admiral was in Alor Setar…

Burn who is still not fully recovered from his previous motorbike accident, came with a bandage hand and ride in Azuri’s car on that night as a co-pilot. At first, Steven of Team Hillraiders asked us to lead their way to Kuala Kelawang touge, but due to some problems with Azuri’s car he refused to lead and just wanted to follow everyone from behind with a cruising speed.

The road conditions was wet and slippery as it was after rain. Once they all reached the base point at Kuala Kelawang touge, all of the participated drivers started to blast off and roaming into the dark night and hilly road of Kuala Kelawang. There was lots of cars.. From Perodua Kenari, Turbocharged Wira, Toyota Vios, Perdana V6, Satria Neo, Toyota KE70, Proton Waja, a Hilux.. Yes, you read it right.. Hilux! And it is damn fast around those twisties plus a few other cars including Azuri’s ‘more-to-a-problematic’ Satria.. LOL.

After the run started, it just by then Azuri realized that his headlight cannot put on high beams. It’ll go blank if high beams is switched on but it’ll normally operated if the head lights is put to normal. Once they all finished the uphill session, Azuri managed to tweaked the wiring of his car and get it back working narmally once again.

Then was the downhill part – Heading all the way to Jelebu. And once we’ve reached the finished line, we all stop for drinks at jelebu side and ended up the night there. Not wanted to go all the way through the touge again, Azuri and Burn decided to drive up all the way to Seremban before exiting to PLUS Expressway. They reach home at 4.30 am.

We had a blast! Thanks for coming here guys… You guys are awesome..!

KANSEI Interview: Hovhannes Karagozian

Here’s our second interview session after the first interview focusing on local touge hero. This time we featured a driver hail all the way from ‘The Land of Uncle Sam’… United States Of America. He’s not only a natural born touge driver, but he is a very skillful rally driver who drive a Volkwagen Jetta and a Subaru Impreza WRX. This interview has been done long ago but only now have its opportunities to appeared in KANSEI weblog as we waited for way too long to receive a pictures of him but.. Nahh.. After we’ve think for a while, we’ve decided to let just put his videos in here…

This person is known as Johnny K among his friends and you may find tons of his videos in YouTube under the user name ‘Recce80′. His videos not only limited to driving but he’s a great fan of football as well.. Err, should we called it ’soccer’..? (He’s into freestyle football anyway).. We get to know Johnny through the internet since August 2007 as we was exchanging touges video of us and him. He was formerly a driver for US Rally Team but has now gone  solo with Europe as his next playground target.

Now, let’s see what he’s gonna tell us about him… Ohh, by the way, he don’t know who the fuck is Jessica Biel..? Dang..! Enjoy Reading!

The track now stand side by side with legendary tracks such as The Tsukuba Circuit, Suzuka Circuit, Ebisu, Montegi, Irwindale and a few other well known names.. Off course it is not in reality, but hey.. It’s on this game simulation we’re talking about now. Thanks to people at Oversteer Forum of Australia and specially for Mr DMz for making our homecourse available for an online game known as rFactor with the name of ‘Kansai Touge‘. Off course it didn’t really reflect or the images and 3Ds animation near to the real touge courses of Kuala Kelawang and it has been modified a bit but hence the name, it’s Kuala Kelawang for pete sake…!

There’s a tons of selection for cars that available for users to choose from as well as the tracks for circuit racing, rally and touge. Like we’ve mentioned before, there are even Tsukuba Circuit include in it. But each of the tracks, circuits and touge courses has first to be downloaded to your computer before you can enjoy it.

First of all before you can enjoy the game, you should spend some time to download the game engine as provided by ISI at http://www.rfactor.net/ and download the mod at Oversteer drift mod and you’re ready to go. There’s a plenty of courses, circuit and tracks to be downloaded as well depends on where you want to practice and race.

Hell yeah.. We did say RACE! They even held a weekend battle on numerous circuits, tracks and courses and you are free to participate and battles with people from each parts of this very Planet Earth! And no worries about hitting the guardrail, jumping off the cliff and any kind of crash you had ever imagine as your real car is still parked in your home garage… And oh, they even have a flight simulation in it. When else you can fly with your car? Only inside game.. Now, go wank this stuff..!

KANSEI Video: Bukit Tinggi Downhill Battle

Ahh.. It’s snowy here again in wordpress… Meaning that we’re going to our third year as a team.. Damn, how time flies…

Recently, while we was cleaning up our hard disk space on our computer, we’ve saw this old video of Burn battling on downhill attack with Mizal a.k.a Kultuih in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang. This was an old video recorded somewhere in April 2008 but we just couldn’t find enough time to upload it to YouTube. Finally here it is making its way to a greater audience…

This video was recorded long ago before the Berjaya Hills Group managements decided to put a speed bump in Bukit Tinggi to prevent speeding vehicles. Yes.. That’s suck for us touge lovers. This touge was as well one of the finest road conditions touge’s in Malaysia since it is a private property roads and it has road-side lampose to light up your way up and down at night, meaning it is not as dark as Kuala Kelawang and any other touges… But in other way, it does suck for us since we barely see the upcoming vehicles head light and it made our camera result looks fugly..

Anyway, enjoy the vids…
