Kalau bertandang ke kenduri kahwin pun mengharapkan makanan sedap menanti, apatah lagi ke Art Of Speed (AOS) 2019?
Menyedari perkara ini, penganjur AOS 2019 telah menghasilkan sesuatu yang luar biasa bagi pengunjung bertuah yang hadir ke acara tahunan kali ini yang telah pun memasuki edisi ke-8.
Perkenalkan Mizuki, sebuah kereta kustom yang menggabungkan kejuruteraan kereta dan motosikal dalam satu chasis.
Sumber: BikesRepublic
Mizuki merupakan sebuah kereta MINI yang telah mendapat suntikan enjin motosikal jenis Suzuki Hayabusa yang telah dibina khas bagi AOS 2019.
Menariknya, jentera ini akan menjadi hadiah utama kepada pengunjung AOS 2019 yang bertuah.
Bayangkan, anda datang dengan motosikal atau kereta dan berkemungkinan pulang dengan sebuah jentera luar biasa!
Sumber: BikesRepublic
Mizuki – yang dihasilkan khas oleh FNG Works yang sebelum ini turut menyumbang RXZ Twin Boss dan Honda C600 Papa Jahat bagi AOS edisi 2017 dan 2018 – menggunakan enjin Hayabusa 1300cc empat silinder.
Menurut FNG Works, enjin Hayabusa ini – yang dijangka menghasilkan 200hp – akan ditempatkan di bahagian belakang sekaligus menyerlahkan lagi DNA luar biasa yang seakan menjadi tema bagi pembinaan jentera kustom kali ini.
Sumber: BikesRepublic
Bagi memastikan segala kuasa dapat disalurkan, FNG Works telah memasang tayar drag dengan roda bersaiz 13 inci dan sistem brek daripada Honda EG9!
Bagi memastikan kelancaran pemanduan, Mizuki turut dilengkapi dengan penyerap hentakan D2 Motorsport boleh laras.
Penganjur AOS 2019 akan mempamerkan Mizuki dalam keadaan warna sedia ada kerana pengunjung bertuah akan diberi peluang memilih warna idaman mereka sendiri!
Apa tunggu lagi? Jangan lupa ke AOS 2019 di MAEPS, Serdang pada 27 dan 28 Julai ini!
But there is a major difference in the prize this year. AOS has pretty much given away motorcycles up to 2018. This year, the lucky person will walk away with car.
Well, car is over-simplifying it. It’s a specially-built 70’s-style drag car with a superbike engine. The project involves marrying a Suzuki Hayabusa engine to a Mini Cooper body, hence the amalgam of the names Mini Cooper and Suzuki, resulting in Mizuki.
Again, that only sounds simple because the work is exceedingly extensive instead of just plunking an engine into the husk of an old car.
AOS arranged a special field trip for the media to visit FNG Works in Ipoh. FNG Works was contracted to bring the ideas to fruition this year.
Asep Ahmad Iskandar
There, AOS founder Asep Ahmad Iskandar and FNG Work’s chief builder Irwann Cheng explained the work involved.
Irwann Cheng
Asep wanted to contract a build for AOS and his boys found an old Suzuki Hayabusa engine. “When we met the seller to seal the deal, the seller offered us the rusted-out shell of a Mini Cooper. He and his friends have tried to get the project going but never got around to it,” explained Asep.
The items were subsequently brought to FNG Works for fabrication and assembly.
Since then, they have stripped out the car and installed a space frame to carry the engine in space behind the driver. The Suzuki engine is left stock, as with the chain final drive which connects to a Perodua Rusa differential, driving the rear wheels. The wheels are shod with fat, 10-inch wide drag racing tyres.
The stock driver and front passenger seats were swapped out for a pair of custom-made aluminium ones. The beautiful seats were fabricated by Saidi Racing Fabrications.
While it doesn’t look it in the pictures, the car is near completion. Asep and co have spent more than RM 30,000 for the build, thus far. “We hope that the new owner of Mizuki will actucally take it to the dragstrip and run against other dragsters. We always commissioned builds that are driveable, albeit not street legal.”
The project highlights the ingenuity of Malaysian talent in custom builds. FNG Works is well-known in their exploits, having won a number awards for their creations. “Part of AOS’s goal is to bring Malaysian talents to the fore,” said Asep. “Malaysia has plenty of great talents that just needs exposure.”
So, come down to the Art of Speed Malaysia 2019 Powered by PETRONAS on 27th and 28th July, at MAEPS Serdang and stand a chance to bring Mizuki home with you. You may also find more information in Art of Speed Malaysia’s official Facebook page.
