Sacrificing Comfort for Stability.

On my previous post I bought volvo 240GL rear spring to be fitted to my kambing, thanks to abah hensem for suggesting this kind of setup. very practical and cheap. but not so practical for those who wanted a comfort ride.

I went to Mat Jey's House seeking his help, guidance and borrowing his tools hihi.

I arrive at Mat Jey's around 1130 HRS and below is the original ride height before spring conversion, VERY TALL.




Started first by jacking the car, removing wheels , and place it on jackstand.

LOOK KAMBING TERBANG ! HAHA


Then taking off front absober, and spring, lowering rear axle taking out rear spring all that stuff. Renyah gila keje cmnih. Topmount spring depan degil susah nak keluar.
terpaksa menggunakan kekerasan !






KP61 Rear stock Spring VS Volvo 240GL Stock Spring



I cut the volvo spring into half of equal length, so I'll have four springs.
I forgot to take picture of it sorry.

here's the picture of the spring placed at the front side, might give you some idea whats the length of the spring



here's the result of the new spring, lower ride height and quite bumpy for city ride
the car is not at equal height, the rear side is lower than the front side. very funny looking.



I bought two pair of spring rubber to increase the rear heights




finally its done, new ride heights is much more lower than the stock height


Extra ring from the spring is cutted and I use it as to imitate Tsurikawa Hanger. hahaa

Volvo 240 GL Spring

Recently I came across a Post on a forum which is about changing Standard KP61 Spring, A very low costs and practical upgrade from my point of view

I directly contact the person who did the spring conversion, his screen name is Abah Hensem he uses 240GL Volvo Spring and he told me exactly what to do and the pros and cons of this conversion.

The best part is it does not require any modification just plug n play. :D

so I went Chop Shop searching for this spring it was quite difficult.



the actual spring colour was black but I kinda have leftover canspay and I spray the spring (konon2 nmpk macam baru la) unfortunately I ran out of spray in the middle of the process so there it is, uncompleted spray progress. buruk kan ? aku tau. takpayah cakap haha. nanti spring ni duk kt tayar gak, bkn ada org nak tngk pun. :p

and I also sprayed my fuel cover into chrome colour maybe I'll draw domo kun on it later on. hehe



and dont mind the hairdryer, I used it to dry the paint quickly

Cable Plug

Last time I bought new sets of cable plug for my Enjin Mesin Tebu now I finally had the chance to install it. (dah bape bulan baru nak pasang apa da)






I just notice that the old sparkplug cable was hotshot brand. tapi sayang nya plug cable tu dah bocor so kena ganti

Raya Ke 3.

I found something that I've been searching for a longgg time...

A brand new plug cable for my Kambing ! hohoho. (takde la rare mana pun barang ni tapi pape la kan)

and its cheap too ! sape2 rasa nak bleh la bgtau ye. hehe.

A visit to uncle Ramly.

26 aug 2011

I took my kambing to uncle Ramly for the carb to be inspected and tuned according to my engine capacity.

the choke and main jet of the carb was replaced to a smaller ones due to small engine capacity.

sparkplug was replaced too, because my old sparkplug burned badly because of running on very big size of main jet. and it was FREE ! (this is the 2nd time that I changed my sparkplug for free )

sparkplug dah itam macam bontot kuali LOL !



Uncle Ramly doing inspection and tuning.




P/S : lepas tuning2 ni sume kete aku tak laju pun.

Mid Semester Break.

After few months not seeing my kambing and running around searching for parts, I finally had the time to put the parts together on my kambing.


extractor and intake taken out. head masih dara tak pnah porting. kalau buat porting pun cm best ni hehehe.


change in extractor from 4-2-1 to 4-1 hopefully this setting will give most acceleration as it should.




manifold and 4-1 extractor installed



alang2 dah bukak sume2 ni belting pun ganti la, sebab belting lama dah reput.



Here some vids that I've recorded during 1st start after installing those parts, sorry for the bad quality vids shaking here and there. biasa la I'm not even an amature cameraman.





memang kete aku bunyi macam motobot la, ekzos takde pakai extractor semata.
bunyi je lebih, pegi nye tak jugak LOL.



Kedai exhaust visit somewhere in USJ 1 mau kasi sambung exhaust la bising gila bawak kete sakit telinga. Kalau kete laju takpe gak.




Sambung balik la pakai paip lama, takde budget nak tukarpaip hehe. Terima kasih KareemBoso kerana sudi melayan kerenah aku yg merepek.



Sepanjang kete aku kt kdai exhaust ni, ni la kenderaan aku. padahal moto pinjam je. laju weh moto ni !




Paling best nya, tak sampai sehari aku bawak kambing pusing2 subang, dh ada org dtg conteng kete aku. hampeh !

Semak Samun.

nah tngk la engine bay aku yg semak ni

Try golek tngk !

Setakat ni dah 2 kali battery kete aku bergolek jatuh atas belting, so aku pun jd bengang aku pun buat la battery bracket baru.



HAHAHA lepas ni try golek tngk bleh pegi tak bleh pegi ?



2 kali jugak la battery aku pecah dlm engine bay. habis merecik air battery dlm engine bay, belting aku ni tak lama lg putus la ni. cipan tol la.

DIY : New Speaker Board.

Taking measurements here and there, and cut according to original size.





Try skett... pwah ! perfect fit !




Painted speaker board.
