In fact not much has been going on with the DC2 as it has rained on the weekends for the 5th consecutive weekends. For safety reason why don't do morning drive when it is wet. So last Saturday I decided to do something about it besides taking it out for fresh air. It was a bit sunny and yet cloudy Saturday morning and I remembered from last year I have had those TM spark plugs that I have not used. So I took the car out first to have the license plate re-made to meet the legal requirement (the orginal was way to small and the letters too tight together). After that I took the DC2 to Pak Lok and borrowed some tools for the spark plugs replacement. The existing ones (some NGK Iradium ones) were very rusty and brown in color, which was a sign of enriched air/fuel ratio.
Anyway the car fired up immediately and sounded a lot more energetic afterwards. What a feeling! The car was powerful, more linear and tractable in engine response, and was louder. It reminded me the time at ZIC race course in 2004.
On Sunday we canceled the morning drive because of the wet roads. Instead Tiki and I took it out the Shek O to have a breakfast. Boy, the car did feel very good! A lot of power and energy. Boy, was I rusty in my driving and the tight cornering? I definitely need more practice.
I need to wait another Sunday for the morning drive!
