When can we see A LANTIS compete in a True & Legal Race?
Hi all..
I would like to raise the Lantis members spirit alive... if not much, a little bit pun OK laaaaaahhh..
Since many of us are sooooooo crazy about this car model, why there are still no Lantises compete in any minor or major races in Malaysia... at least sprintrace at kampung-kampung ones (Legal race ya..).
If u guys noticed, those Familias or Protege or Interplays or some called "Lantis Sedan" (by Malaysian importers last time around) are competing in TRUE races.. not some suka-suka sprint test...and they are damn good & powerful, beating them other than Mazda models like hell man.They made me proud as a Mazda owner!
I've got a friend who's a performance workshop owner & his friends in USJ that races three 323 cars according to race standards. Beginning with stock 210hp up to 450++hp...but no Lantis 323F around. Why? Is it because of higher pricing of Lantis parts compare to Familia. My friends competed their Familias with those Wiralution, Sagalution, Wajalution, Perdanalution, VTECkek, Skylines & Garisanlangit.... (er toyota very little participations...dunno why). Those guys really have nerves & guts to challenge the "lution" cars... Ironically, the workshop owner drives a Caldina ZT & a City...
I think many of u guys out there don't feel that they have enuf power of their BAs, V6s or even their B8-180/210s, maybe coz they r still very-very stock engines. Nothing to be fancy about i guess... Some have tested 160hp & some have the powerful 210hp engine.. Many of us have never tested a 250hp car, but some are very lucky to drive a 300hp car...But still these horsepower figures are weak when wanting to compete in a real drag race battle. At least we must start somewhere in the hp configuration standard.. Which hp powerzone do u want to start for your Lantis? Did u guys ever noticed that Lantis has the most advantages in the CoD (coefficiant drag) department... some say aerodynamics..
If choosing NA or Normal Aspirated or Non-force induction (chargers & turbines) setup, the cost would be much lower than using the forces engines. Really? Not really.. it depends on how much u wanna gain the hp... the more u want the more the RM lah.. SO if u wanna drag race, forget about NA & go for forcey engines. But NA is still needed to challenge the VTECkeks & MIVECkeks...isn't it? But NA can't win races with the turbos lah..unless u put a V6 3.0L or V8 5.0L or F1 spec engine in your Lantis engine bay, then ok lah!! Not really..there are ways..
So i would like to see those undisputed self-proclaimed powercraze young guns (aged below 35) out there to do something about it. It's about time that the Lantis community get serious & doing the ultimate fun in car enthusiasm for once awhile.. not just racing each other only...if not it will be pity just being a spectator.... everytime... and be a 'kaki kutuks' favourite car to kutuk & looked down...Don't let older guys (aged above 35) go in first to race..hahaha
But beware... racing cars is very-very dangerous to all of us...in terms of our pocket lah... actually it's very-very fun & very-very satisfaction guaranteed if doing it at a proper safety environment... better than Sex... Just remember to race Legally ya..& do practice a lot.
I hope this article would be a spirit burning to everyone that has passion & fonding love of racing, coz the ultimate car enthusiast group activity is actually there on the track. Not just pusing2 makan angin 2-3 rounds at the track, but compete in a REAL race. I hope that my posting won't be misunderstood & offending others... if u guys don't like it, so i'm sorry if i'm wasting time..
TQ adios..
PS: I'm preparing one...

TQ yoep Joe for raising up this topic..
Maybe Lantis / 323f 200hp,300hp,400hp or even "500hp" are hiding somewhere we don't know.
I am showing you all my Mazda Familia BH 98 horsepower (this is NOT Lantis Sedan)...YES 98 horsepower only but got BALLS competing/contending in Sepang Drag Battle Rund 2...

If moderator don't like me..I'm ready to be BANNED from 323f..
PS<--Before judging me view this http://www.cardomain.com/ride/803785
Eh..I heard your car was the only 1.6 standard Mazda engine... very-very standard that even the dragrace official laughed till their stomach crammed... But noooo...that never stopped you from proving that even a standard pekak car can also enter that wonderful race...
The best thing is u were beaten by a full modified Honda CRX 2.4L 350++hp with dogbox sequential shift gear (full racing gear)... I heard that b4 u reached the starting grid, u purposely spin the tire & wobbled yr car so the CRX driver thought yr car was powerful!!!! Marvelous idea!!
Well Faizi, guest wat.. becoz of u i'm gonna enter Round 3 Sepang Drag Battle on 18-19 June 2009 with my not finished prepared car, a standard dek Lantis 2.0L V6 24 valver which many thought a powerful engine (which is not...as i experienced it for more than 8 years). And to make it more interesting I'll race it with my "super-duper" automatic gearbox which is very-very standard...
Hopefully i fit in the digicam & posted it to youtube & showed to the world how does it feel racing in a dragrace with a very-very standard car...
C ya there Faizi

Hmm.. my car still cant enter the dragbattle... too many things to settle & repair b4 itis ready to race... but coming soon..
If all's well, i should seek for more lantischesan to come over & try proper & legally endorsed racing at least once in yr lifetime..
PS: Better to participate rather than commenting as a spectator... ye dak?

ish...will race someday when i'm finish my car loan...i get some some sponsor from magnum or toto....will try today draw...if win...next month start preparing my car....
Yes bro Electronjr... u only have to pay less than RM200 to compete in a race... whether it is a SIC race event or the RL event (Racing Lambak) like the road legal dragrace events that is organised by private group nationwide. For the SIC event, u gotta have a competition licence issued by relevant authority. I recommended AAM license coz they r the representative for FIA in Malaysia. We can enter any race that is related to FIA.. MAM is a govt back authority, but not recognized by FIA. So for MAM licence holder, u only can compete in their backed race only. If there is an international race here (e.g. Merdeka Race/Super Series) or for yr future international racing enhancement, u guys still have to get the AAM licence..
Just enter your standard stock specs car for a start... then built yr experience & car upgrades steadily. If u owned a 1.6cc Lantis, then lots of things gotta upgrade but still worthty investment...
I could assist u if u want...
