Formula D Garage

21-12-09(Monday), I success take 1 day leave from my work and decided to bring my Blue Hippo for body check. Because I want to be the 1st car serviced at Formula D, I leave my bed at 9am and just grab a piece of bread as my breakfast then straight away head to Formula D.

After I arrived there, both 2 main spirit of FD(Adil and Ah Meng)is not around, and the worker told me both of them will arrived within 1 hour, thus I go into their customer lounge to watch Batman while waiting them whereas my brother stay outside take pictures... The movie just finish not long ago, Adil arrived and come in ask me whats I gonna do to my car. I told him I just bought this car 2 months ago, so I need suggestion from him.

This is my first time service my car at Formula D- a huge power house garage.


Here is some shot of my ride while waiting Adil arrive.



This Evo8 just done her engine overhaul at Formula D.





There are many drift car done by FD, this is one of them...



An "old lady" is placed outside, will it be the next demo car?.....


Some shot of the garage.



This Silvia is belong to one of the worker there.



I have been told that Adil own many cars, this Supra is one of the list.



This Silvia also belong to Adil, but now is used by Rudy(drifter) to participate the drift tournament.



Where her front and rear bumper goes?




Straight away, Adil call up few workers to prepared and 1st thing to do is to test my car performance by run the dyno test before choose which grade of oil is suitable to use. When I see the result, I feel a bit upset because the power is totally different from what the car dealer told me, my car is only 330whp(I have been told by car dealer said is 450whp) -_- He suggest me to re-tune the HKS Fcon V-pro and said can easily make my car reach 400+whp, but I not gonna do that. The reason I declined is because I haven't fully handle this car now, I worry it will be worst for me to handle if my car have higher HP. Maybe after I can fully get in used with current HP, then only plan for higher upgrade.

Adil's CBA-35, look at the multi-mixed color he used, wow~








Picture of Dyno test....








My Blue Hippo's front and rear diffuser is removed before the test begin...



Since my car show 40000km travel distance, thus he suggest me to change the engine oil, gearbox and LSD oil. Within this operation period(Ah Meng arrived), I was hanging around with my brother Joe and take as much as their car pictures until my car was done. Due to this garage is located just beside the main road and some part of the road is under excavation for piping work, it cause my car covered full with dust(heartache to see this), thus after paid the bill, I faster head back home to bath my Blue hippo and just call it a day.
  
After know my car performance, Adil suggest me to do a medium service(engine, gearbox, LSD oil change) and few type of oil is suitable to use.



  
Few couple of pictures when my ride is under operation.
