Levin Gets a LongAcre In Car Lap Timer

At a recent MME track day on the 21st of July 2009 in SIC, Team Kookaburra Racing brought the race Levin to track to test some car settings, ventilation as well as a new toy, a LongAcre Hot Lap In-Car Timer. Julian Ng and Kenny Hwang took to the track to give it a run. We had some issues with the borrowed test unit of the lap timer and thus decided to purchase a new one which we will see in the new few weeks.

We have to resort to the unofficial timing for the shakedown and clocked low 2:50s with Maxxis semi slick tyres. Good results judging from the fact that the we kept revs to below 6,500rpm as we are still shaking down the test engine.

Some rectification work has been identified and more to come next track day in August!

Levin Shakedown at SIC

The Kookaburra Levin was brought to the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) race track for a race practise session recently to perform shakedown and setup. Together with Kenny Lee of Kegani Autotech who monitored the progress of his hard work, Kenny Hwang and Stephen Kok took turns testing the car round the track. Also present was team management, Jeffrey Ewe who kept a close watch on the car.

The Levin performed well and it will definately be capable of making 2:40s times on track. After the shakedown, some minor work needed to be sorted out but all in all, fantastic car and many thanks to Kegani Autotech for their hardwork.

Launch of Toyota Levin AE101 Race Car

Here it is! Finally, the launch of the new Kookaburra Racing race car - A Toyota Levin AE101. Come packed with a punch and lots of goodies.

It's no wonder why the Levin was picked. In the recent Sepang 1000km race, the car that topped the charts during the race with the faster lap times is Kegani Autotech - Ultra Racing team's Levin with a lap time of 2:41.483 during the race on semi slick tyres. Being 1.6L in Class 2, Kegani's Levin overtook even Class 1 cars of 1.8L like DC2 etc. The Levin is a class above and well balanced and fast car. It even made headlines in previous years races for its performance.

Kookaburra Racing team members have supported Kegani Autotech in the previous races and events. The obvious choice of picking a Toyota Levin as the next race car and has to be tuned by Kegani Autotech. Kegani owner, Kenny Lee, and his crew quickily got together and built a fantastic Team Kookaburra Racing race prepped Levin, complete with cold drawn seamless carbon steel FIA and JAF (Japan Automobile Federation) approved Cusco Safety 21 rollcage, Tein suspension, XYZ 4-pot Big Brake Kit and Ultra Racing anti-roll bars and other goodies too!
