went for TCC's 15 Apr trackday at Sepang.

the ZII Star Specs took quite a bit of damage, burnt nearly half of the front tyres by the end of the day. managed to clock 2.45 on the set-up. no other vehicle/maintenance issues, very reliable.

oil temperature stayed at a very comfortable 90 - 100 degrees celcius thanks to the oil cooler installed.

aligned and rotate wheels back to daily driving after trackday.


Mileage: ~153,000 km

so when i started up the car a few days ago the steering wheel started to creek loudly.

turns out, the bottom assembly hose of the power steering gave way (previously I've fixed the top almost immediately after taking over the car in end 2014).

had to leave the car at the workshop overnight as they didn't have the part.

got this fixed for ~S$450.

at the same time, i bought new oil temperature and oil pressure sensors for the defi as the previous sensors started to send the needles on the gauges bouncing all over the place. the oil pressure sensor was about S$150 while the oil temperature sensor was about S$100. got them shipped from RHDJapan and installed for a couple of 10s at SKM.
