Juz A story to share with u guys...

Yesterday

Dated : 31.10.2006
Place : Sungai Siput Perak


Its raining hard yesterday...
So i stayback at my office for a while...
I wait until the rain slows down...
I wait till 7pm...

I start up my engine...
Let it warmup for 5 minutes..
Meanwhile I change my shoes to selipar jepun..
Rev-rev a bit juz to hear the "shurrpp shuurrp" sound...

Then get out from the parking lot...
Saw the tar still wet...
So..hehehe :)
I start to go "round n round" until get some dizzy...

:P
After few minutes enjoying the "round n round"...
Then I talk to myself...
"I should start doin something else"...
So..

I start playing with counter steer for so many times...
After Few unsuccesfull attemp...
I finally made it...
HEY!! I've not been doin this "stunt" for almost 2 month already...

My skill r getting clumsy...
My car r getting heavier..
My heart pumping like hell..
I lost some bravery...

After 15 minutes of excitement...
I start heading home...
Drove slowly n steadyly...
Until pinggiran pekan sg siput..

I do notice there is a bumpy road upfront...
But....
I cannot avoid it...
So...

I juz drove through it...
I cant imagine the bumping will be so hard...
My speed at only 80kmh...
Me n My car bounce for more than 5 times...

Its ok...Im fine..
I drove steadily to my home...
for about 35km away n 45min trip...
Upon arrival...

I get out of my car....
I check the front tyre...
Hmmm..why my car so damn low??...
I raba2 my absorber...

WHAT THE??!!!!.....
The spring goin out from its tapak!!!
I feel so angry...
I leave the car alone...

I was so mad till I mogok dinner!!....
I was so sad I cannot look at my car again...
I was so stress out that he end up like that...
I was so ..arrrrgghh...


<_< <_< <_< -_- -_- -_-



moral of the story is....

NEVER USE A STIFF SPRING WITH A STOCK ABSORBER!!!

...i learn it hardway... <_<

it's not the absorber... it's your spring.. it's too short. you cut your spring too much.

always make sure your spring length is LONGER than your absorber's travel length. imagine this happen at your rear spring.. therus your spring fall out on the road.

Also.. if you bounce 5 times for the spring to settle, your abs going to die soon.
