This should be posted last year.

After the loss of my beloved KP officially scraped and sold to besi buruk on the 25th Dec 2012, i bought another KP on the 1st Jan 2013. Straight away send it to tanjung sepat for bodywork and few mods on the engine bay
. the car has been stripped its interior leaving only the chassis and the body. tbc on the next post.

Chop Chop.

Due to critical chassis damage on my KP I decided to scrap the car and take whats the good to be reuse or sell for some cash.
There's noting much to write just enjoy the pictures.

Special Thanks to Pomen Yala Autoworks crew for helping me take all the parts off the car and being such a good friend.

Frustration Level 999999999999999999.

First there's this float leaking problem which forced me to bought a new 1 and i did, it really cost me my money.

Secondly here comes the ultimate frustration, after tearing my car's interior the body was devastating and I dont mind all the rust and holes because it could just be patched with new piece of metal
But here comes the ultimate frustration which is my car as been crumpled at the center between the hand brake leaver and the rear seat no wonder the rear wasnt heavily damage after the collision with the lorry i had some where in march.

I'm mentally broken by this crumple in the mid section of the car, this can be repair but it will not be as good as the original and it would cost me more than my budget.

Pomen Yala Autowork crew advised me to get another KP chasis instead of repairing this one because this body isn't worth saving if budget is the master.

So my KP is to be strip to its chasis and sold the chasis to a scrap metal. :( "Kita kena lepaskan benda yg kita sayang, untuk dapat benda yang lebih kita sayang " - Mat Jey 2012

Float Bocor Part 3.

float bocor kembali selepas di tampal. sekian.

Its feels good to be back behind the wheel.

its been three months since the last time i drive my KP. After patching the fuel float the engine can be start and it works perfectly fine. I drove around my neighbourhood and the car feels very light maybe because the interior was removed. this video taken with my recently-bought Xperia GO. such awesome quality you can watch it in HD but not a fast car.

Fuel Float bocor Part 2

Electronic Solder was used to cover the hole on the float. Trust me Im really good at soldering components on a PCB but this is diffrent, its hard to make the iron sticks to the float. so this isnt my best soldering finish.

again, please be careful while handling tools or installing to your car. Because I accidentally cut my fingers (again) while getting this done. there's my blood on the rocker cover.

fuel float bocor.

interior has been stripped and the car is ready for body work, unfortunately the engine wont start.
and i found out the intake has been flooded with petrol. I've faced this problem before when i swap to DCNF40 for the first time. I remembered that my DCNF float has this tiny hole causes the carb to continuously pouring petrol into the intake without even pressing the throttle.
I use Selly's steel epoxy to cover it and it did work. but that was 2 years back. now the steel epoxy can't stand the corrosive petrol and the steel epoxy layer can be easily peeled off.

maybe i'll try using electronic solder to cover the hole. so it'd be permanent.

Stripping Interior.

Its a perfect day for stripping the interior of my KP before sending it for major body work and restoration

I wasn't hard to strip the interior since the car was old and all the interior part was quite loose and I had to be careful not to break any of them because they're all very brittle due to its age being expose to heat.

unfortunately i only get half of the job done because of the rain and I guess I just continue doing it later on the evening.

Well its my offday from work thought i could spend sometime with my KP but then I tried to crank the engine and nothing happen. I thought the battery was weak but the battery is just fine still there's no crank.

then i heard weird sound from the starter i realized that starter sudah kongg.... ! denngg..

Found its pair !

Went to a half cut in puchong with khai and i LHS tail lamp for my KP ! who would have thought that this tail lamp has been hiding in the middle of a city while i was busy searching for it outside city.

5K.

recently i bought a toyota 5K engine. its similar to 4K engine only it has larger bore thus creating a larger displacement.

5K Spec :
-Bore 80.5mm
-Stroke 73.0mm
-1486cc
4K Spec :
-Bore 75.0mm
-Stroke 73.0mm
-1290cc

The engine was delivered right to my door step by Vee Yew Cheong. thankyou bos.

this sticker came along with the engine and i dont know what it means. if anyone knows please do leave a comment.

Oldtimer Alignment

after bush n tyre replacement, I went to this oldtimer shop for wheel alignment. he did not use any electronics for alignment and the result are superb. this shop located at USJ 1 and many track cars usually come during the weekends getting their car ready for race.

pakai tayar tak smpai 1 tahun dah jadi cmnii.. sume lambat tukar bushing punya hal. nasibbaik la tayar 2nd murah rm35 each.

New Limbs and Bushings :D

after long awaited and enduring hearing the rattling dashboard, interior, and the car itself each time i drive through uneven roads and humps i finally get my hands on new sets of lower arms, tierods, and some other bushings.
it feels like hari raya comes early and it hurts my wallet real bad.
but its for my own comfort of driving and safety so safety comes first ! here's photo of my current undercarrage parts

here's new sets of lowerarm, tierod ends, stabilizer bush, and stuff..

no more rattling dashboard whenever I drive into bumps and holes.

New Shocks :D

first of all its Ramadhan meaning fasting month and i'd like to wish happy fasting to all the muslims who read this. may this Ramadhan be better and prosperous than the previous one. for few years i've been driving around in my KP without front shocks absorbers and all the undercarrage suspension bushing were worn out really bad which cause my car to sound like its gonna break apart each time i take a hit on uneven roads or bumps. i tried searching for KP OEM front shocks around but i ddnt manage to find any. i know they are sold somewhere here in malaysia i just hvnt found it yet. i got tired of searching and i did some research and found out that KP61 and AE82 shocks absorber has the same diameter but abit different in lengths which makes the AE82 shocks much shorter than KP61. here's some photo.
the shorter absorber is the AE82 and the other one is the KP61 shocks

since the AE82 shocks is much shorter so I placed a metal spacer for it to fit nicely inside the KP61 suspension struts. actually the metal spacer suppose to be custom but due to tight budget i bought 3/4 inch galvanized steel pipe joints as and used them as spacers so that AE82 shocks would fit.

so this is what it looks like after fitting AE82 shocks into KP61 struts.

Dimensions of both shocks :
AE82 Shocks
Length 1: 494 mm
Length 2: 336 mm
Diameter : 38mm

KP61 shocks
Length 1: 575 mm
Length 2: 376 mm
Diameter : 38mm
so to those who needed new front shocks for KP61 and fail to find it as i do this is the easiest solution and it only cost me rm160+ :D
