So recently, team D24 upgraded themselves from rental kart to another type of rental kart, I mean from 80cc to 100cc karts. It's not really a big leap considering ONLY 20cc difference but that's actually 25% increment of engine displacement on basically a same chassis & same weight. That is something I tell you.
That's not my point really. My point is that I've been using either helmet from the kart operator and other times I would bring my own Spongebob which is an open face.... as if you can't tell from the picture.
There's nothing wrong when you look at it. The problem comes when you floor the throttle while going down the main straight of City Kart Shah Alam going at approx 70-80kph. At this speed, there's like a small turbulence going on behind the helmet visor. At long duration, the wind effect really dries up my eye & later it makes me cry ....literally. I would find myself wiping tear drops like I've just pulled out a perfect drift.
So I told myself, I need to buy a full face for future session. And later I asked myself, why buy when I've already got my rally helmet?! And this is where this blog entry would start LOL
Materials that you need:
1) SOL off road helmet
2) Visor of choice; mine is HYBRID-37X FACE SHIELD CLEAR IRIDIUM RECOMMENDED PRICE RM60 ....direct copy from packaging, pretty long name
3) 40 cents ... LOL
Step 1: Screw them screw
Ok, now you should use 20 cents to unscrew that screw. What about the balance of 20 cents you asked? Use it on the other side :P
Step 2; Lift 'em up
Simply lift up the dirt shade like so
Step 3: Release the release
You'll need to push the release downward & lift up the dirt shade at the same time.
Step 4: Be gentle
Once both sides are off the latch, just pull out the dirt shade from the pivot gently
Step 5: Do it backward
Repeat the steps above in reverse & opposite ....ok, I know you're lazy to read them backward ....but so am I LOL
Once both sides are on the latch, just push in the visor into the pivot gently
You don't need to push the release downward & lift up the dirt shade at the same time.
Simply push down the visor like so
Keep your 40 cents
Camwhore
I'll give feedback to you guys later on how this visor should help me concentrate on attacking the course again. Nah, I'm just kidding, with this cool look, I'm not bothered about that anymore. BTW, on the left is OBK's helmet with Paddle Pop finish.
Thanks SOL for the awesome looking visors (and helmets)!
