Happy weather



Yesterday was a great day, weeks of heavy rain finally cease.. i got back home by 5.00pm early from the office to grab my bicycle and off i go wondering through various places distance away from home. Down the stairs, up the hills, through the garden, sped through the side walks, along the coastal beaches and into remote places far away from the city.....far...far ...go further....go...my heart tells me...alone in a big big world..... I pedal freely, my heart guide my steering and navigate to places where beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. They sky is pure blue mixed with thick lines of golden streams of cloud mixed with pale pink and fantasy color of the sunset. The wind was soft and breeze as it pounced all over my body as i cycle faster along the trails. People from various age and races join together going outdoor to play kites. As i look up in the sky crowds of kite flew gently and harmony with the wind. Its was very high so freely. Family and friend get together to watch outside their shops. Everyone was happy...Its was very beautiful sight. I was happy to enjoy the view as i sped across the houses and sidewalk below green trees. Being out there spawn nostalgic feeling...feel very young... felt like i was 9 years old back standing in the middle of the field along with my friend watching the sunset sky pointing upwards to the brightest star. That feeling was lost for more than 10 year..now its back.. HHmmmmmm.... its wonderful feeling out their with my bike... freely..i can go where ever i want...my heart will guide there...sometimes i can feel someone special watching for me from above....as always..

..when i listen


I like to listen to peoples story, story about their life, their difficulty, story about something that you rarely heard, a personal story, a tale to share from his heart to a person he or she trusted. Listening with all my heart...something it makes me think that i'm very luck or vice versa. I can't see much from their looks...but whats inside them really matters. Other people don't care much, maybe they are too young to understand, maybe they can't even experience how difficult a person went through or maybe its not worth profit or bother much since its not much entertaining. For me listen their other side of their world bring me deep appreciation and experience that cannot be decribe on just one word, their story create imaginary world in my mind....... Better to know what happening around me rather than being under the rock. I like to wonder around places... places that no one could go because they refuse too...for me its a special plce for me to discover new things....appreciate my life.

Supercar need super wheels - AERO CF8.




Well this is not finalized wheel for XAVAGE. This is genetically identical to previous models that i built first for X3-SIXTY (AERO-F6-XL wheel model) except some changes on the rims radious thickness to accomodate bolts billet on the parameter of the rims to reduce stress load theorectically and increase the amount of flange from 6 to 8 flanges. Still under review if this is still suitable design to match XAVAGE sharped edged design. I like the flange flat edges buldge out because it looks mroe concept like rather being outdated design to modern day standard. XAVAGE cannot use crappy wheels because the first impression when people see the car is firstly contract on wheels. That's why people would *bling their car first on wheel.
At final lifespan of XAVAGE definately the GTR version of this concept car will uses turbine flange type wheel like the one used by NEMIXIS XGT (HELIOS NM22/24).

Home sweet home.


Will never miss this place everytime i get back home from work. This is a must stop place else you won't see any supercar on the internet. I keep my workstation neat and tidy. Clean and uncluttered work place bring peace and feeling spacious. Ahhh... being on that table feels like heavens on earth. A place for inspiration, imagination and birth of ideas

Monday brain syndrome.


As usual every body have these "monday brain syndrome" every time we get back to the office on every monday first day of the week in the office. Still have that wooozy comfy feeling of Sunday sleepy and relaxing thingy. Then when you wake next day its like sudden shock being getting up that lazy bum and hit the cold shower cuz you need to get back to corporate world....not Haiwaii paradise......awwww...working day already. You wish weekends should have 3 days break. May the earth spin slowly......
Just like any other day my job is squishing my brain pulling out ideas to come out with software solution, too bad ideas don't just pop-up out of the blue. Its seems ideas doesn't spark out that easily. Sometimes it take week and months to come out with software solution. On the other hand another section of my brain manage to cough out abundant of ideas for new car design in a wrong time..hhhhuuuuhhhhuuuuu. come on brain..think think think...

The true REVENTON killer.



Yup a shadowy figure of upcoming road brat that will going to smoke REVENTON off the road and hit VEYRON hard in the face. XAVAGE inherit some genetic design from NEMIXIS and X3-SIXTY but with more radical approach. Interm of body design XAVAGE built to reduce wind resistance/wind drag by "cutting" or "breaking" the first head-on wind and the dissipate the wind current via steep sharp surface angular on the body panels to create downforce when it travel from windshield section all the way to the back. Which explain why XAVAGE have sharp dynamic edge body contour from the front section and dynamic angular body sweep all the way to the back to create on body natural spoiler for down force effect. Huge rear section create wind vaccum behind the car to allow air intake from the front of the car force to the back, on its way it will help cool the engine, power turbine generator through air hydraulic force and force thw cool air into the disc brake ventilation system for caliper cooling. To sum up the details short, XAVAGE is like a huge knife cutting easily though the wind without resistance. Unlike any super car design in the world every body surface of XAVAGE are carve with purpose, very corner of its body is functional.

Just like the stealth air figther the F-22, the body is very sharp and angular to deflect enemy radar and at the same time allow the wind to break and slide gently.

Yes, this car is truely is the stealth fighter of the road.

Batman on the roof.

Hmmmm..yeah looks cool video clip from TEP NC production. Really turn my original yellow X3-SIXTY car into something more cooler on the roof..superheroes ya!. Felt like in Batman the movie scene with Ultraman feeling in it. The car now felt like ultraman thingy, btw thanks NEP TC. Thumbs up! I give 10/10 for the video quality production and good job on the paint jobs.

First successful genetic

Here another video made by Track Mania fan feature the first prototype trademark of that carry foward SupermotoXL Design genetic to future car. The video feature CYBORX which i designed in the early year 2005 the same year NEMIXIS was born. It the most pioneered symbolic version of XGT series and from there the car evolve into GT spec car like NEMIXIS and X3-SIXTY. Fans however favour this car..i don't know why mabe its the paint job or something..hhmmmmm....

The video that start it all..Virtual world famous car.

This is the first video that from Track Mania community that made NEMIXIS the most famous car in the internet. The video shoot made by FloTM, car conversion by Starbuck and the original car design and model by me (SupermotoXL). Track-Mania made this car a big fame and spread its wing to various game genre and created huge fans all around the globe, thanks to people from Track-Mania.

Youtube: Most wanted speed killa!

Thanks to a guy named McLaren_3Dcm from Nfs community for putting my NEMIXIS model into Need For Speed Most Wanted scene through conversion/porting work. Yup, its the most fastest car on the internet...hee..heee..

Youtube: Taman Tunku ride

Here some youtube video clip of our last week ride behind Taman Tunku Miri district somewhere along the single track, easy and fun ride. Thanks to Pier Liang for taking video cam on PSP on his helmet.

Miri Wet Land adventure!



Yesterday was a special day for me, was unexpected it turnout to be interesting ride of the month. Sunday morning was a bit drippy morning after raining throughout dark morning but ended before 6.00am. Usually i don't plan to ride during wet season because it would took me more than 1 hour to clean and maintain the bike after muddy dirt and muddy ride. Somehow there was strange feeling everytime when i look out into the windows staring into the sky with mixture or dark cloudy background with bring white cloud and blue sky noon at 12pm. A little drizzle rain, i called my friends and they said they are planing to ride somewhere near Bakam district which is very very distance from bad city weather. So i took my luck join them hoping i could escape from gloomy rainny city weather. I load my bike into my Sunday joyride car which i use to carry my trusty and dirty bike and drove kilometers away from home via coastal beaches using MIRI-BINTULU road. Its was a very clam and gentle weather as i move towards the outskirt of the city and into the remote country side where everthing is blue and green.
Upon arrival everyone in large number of biker already gather around unload their bikes and apparel. We're near the beach at our usual parking spot where you can see beatiful sight and scene around the beaches. The seaside is very bright litted light golden silk cloth waving on the surface and the wind really pounced on my body feel very refreshed and cleansed. By 3.30pm we start our ride through the villages and deep into the woods. It was dry surrounding at first entry but as we go deeper into the bushy and dense crowded jungle everthing getting very wet and muddy, We have to navigate and balanced our bike through slippery terriains, wet mud holes, narrow tree gaps, falling tree trunks, upp and down the hills with very high speed turns and corners. The best part is we have chances to clean our bike by going through very heavily flooded jungle with deep murky water which probably due to heavy rain and flood nearby some river. The water almost reached our knee level but we pedal as much torque as we can to avoid being stuck and spread the water into break it to minimal flood level. Through out our ride we encounter wet - dry - wet - dry -wet -dry - wet - dry situation. Our trail space become much narrower and narrower the further we break into the jungle. To to large number of people we need to stop due to heavy traffic...hahaha. Some of our rider really old people but they really have extreme endurance and power like a teenager thanks to their daily workout on their bikes, so far no one of them have problems with broken stamina and injury. We stumble lots of difficult obstacles especially with deep river grooves where long channel of river was crossing our path. We have to cooperate by helping each other to pass through the river. We have to help carry other people bike to another side of the river banks and up to stiff cliff. I can see there lots of positive team work and heavy task to help people around us....at the end everyone manage to get through the difficult challenges. Our rides sure comes with crashes, human splat into the water, same tumble into the dirt while other loose balance and fell into the clif,..barely.. for us that's is fun and exciting and no one argue about it else its wouldn't be called adventure ride. Thanksfully we didn't think about dangers like wild animal, reptiles and danger that lurks around us.
After hours being in deep forest we finally spotted an open air land just above the hill, we climbed up by passing through the river, climb up the dusty crusty hills and on our way towards the logging hils. Its all up and down, zig zagging and full speed to the highest peak on the land. On top of the dry dusty land we take a break and enjoy the beautiful sight around us. Its was the best moments being up there high above the sea level looking below carpet of trees, distance seas and experience fresh breeze of wind drying our soaky wet bodies which dry us in an instant. I took lots of beatiful photo on my PSP cam. A mixture of golden sunset rays and sunny blue sky, white clouds and orange yellow trails provide contrast and harmonic view on my camera lenses. Everyone was tired, i can feel my tummy become more and more slimmer as fat burned out excessively, i can see my six pax now..hee heee... So we continue our journey again with convoy of mountain biker exiting the logging trails and heads towards nearby tarmac road road which leads toward the beaches where we parked our car. Its was quite far distance and we need to pedal fast to reach the destination before dark. Due to fact some of the riders are roadies these guys sprint so fast few of us have to break away like F1 car. I have to push my power and leg muscle to the max to give a hard chase and draft at least on of the top 5 rider behind so i can draft behind another rider with less wind head-on resistance, everyone travel very fast with at least 1cm gap between each rider tyre colse enough to catch low wind resistance....we called it DRAFTING.
From exiting point at "Sungai Rait" tarmac trunk road to Bakam finishing point it tooks only around between 10-15 min to reach there at screaming speed.....by the time we reach there everyone hearts and muscle felt like it wanted to explode...hahaha., Thankfully we all serve with chilled cold and gassy isotonic drinks full with sugar to relieve our body ache. At the parking spot the sun already behind the sea glowing dim orange ready to give way to glittering stars. We hangout for a while and chat about the rides. As for me this is totally cool adventure ride, totally and emotionally keep me alert and excited. At least i dont have boring life, everyday life is always full of adventure. I loving it!

EXAGE in Need For Speed: Most Wanted

Thanks to McLaren_3Dcm from NFS site (http://www.nfscars.net/forum/showpost.php?p=443546&postcount=136) for helping to put my new car model into Need For Speed: Most Wanted game. The rendering quality in that game simply superb and looks beautiful giving spark and edge to the car when compare against aging 4x4 evo2 game render. Among all the converter around the net he is one of the most perfect converter for the job to convert my models into perfect form with no error or changes to the original design that i expected it to come out from another game platform. Unlike other converter he manage to maintain proper looks, appearance, spec, setup, meshes, texture and even the model name remains intact, everthing 100% accurate conversion work. Thumbs up to my bro McLaren_3Dcm. I'm looking forward for him to help me to port my new design in to NFSMW game which i'll be releasing it shortly around this month.

Back to drift mode.



Ok, so looks like i'm back again into touring cars. At first i was thinking permanently swanted to stick to mini off-roader the mini truck. Then after long thoughts weighting between keeping either mini monster truck and 1/18 NRX-18 i decided to shift all the parts back to its original place on touring cars that is the old 4wd NRX-18. Its was a 3 hours setup to move the electronic parts from truck to touring car. Castle Creation: SIDEWINDER MICRO ESC, 4200KV brushless motor, HL AM receiver box, TOWER PRO 9G micro servo, gears and connector swapped place. Thankfully i got my old battery back plus its comes with 2x 1000mah 6V battery with 400mah charger from old forumer buddy under barter trade method with some of my R/C stuff. Was a good deal. Now with CIVIC TYPE-R chassis the urge to get out and bash rival player spark the flame. Time to drift.
What happened to my mini monster ? Welll, only time will decided. Surely it will resurrected in few days with more powerful configuration and spec.
