Boredom

Found this drawing I did last semester while flipping through my notebook at school today.

Matsuri Mechanics

Fixin' shit on the spot...

Two In the Pink, One In the Stink

Coolest gloves EVER. An order has been placed...

Japan/Drift Matsuri at a Glance

Awesome video filmed by Hann of Insane Drifters

Sega Rally Commercial

This is why the Japanese are so good at drifting. LOTS of practice. With Forza and everything that is stateside nowadays...expect to see some real talent...or alot of kids trying to "drift" their Civics and parents Buicks :)

More Snow Pics

Psyche

Last week we had a few days that temperatures got into the high 60's. I was excited for the warm up but when I walked out of the gym last night it was snowing. What a tease. I also got a picture from a friend on vacation in Hawaii to add to my winter blues. Thanks. Good thing March is just a few days away and spring is right around the corner!

My Hub Isn't the Coolest Hub

I think with a little rattlecanage it will fit right in with the rich kids though. It showed up on my door step today and, in my opinion, had a bunch of unnecessary garbage on it. So I got it naked and decided I'll spray it flat black, or white, or green....maybe pink.

Youth

It's going to be a good year. Hurry up spring!

521 Goodie Goodness

In white. The car belongs to JDM671 on Zilvia. Well done! In my eyes, there's not a thing wrong with rocking XXRs.

Stickers!

I've been collecting some for awhile now...some from parts and some I've purchased. I've been keeping them in a Badtz-Maru bag that one of my brother's friends picked up for me while in Japan. She used to live there and actually knew quite a bit about s-chassis cars which was cool. I'm gonna gather a few more and then sticker bomb my coupes windows. My bros madness has begun....

New Timepiece is a Dimepiece

I need a wheel like my brothers to match it so I can grab gears, clutchkick and countersteer like the fly guy I am...sorta lol

Steering Wheel Showed Up Today

Or yesterday. Or whatever. Big thanks again to Brian in Japan for all his help. Thanks man! I can't wait to mount this up in the S14. Hopefully my quick release and hub show up sooner than later. I gave the steering wheel a little flare with an extra Fatlace sticker Taylor had laying around. I think it's kinda rad in its own way...

Sold Some Meats

These guys were like new but I was done with them. The sidewalls were scrubbed and some green feels better in my pocket. I need to start focusing on a diff and some other little doodads.

Project Unbroke

The hunt for a decent job began about a week ago. Hopefully Number One and I land something soon. Not only do we need more car parts, we've decided that we need to take advantage of living at home right now and start saving money.

Hella Nice Weather

Took advantage of the crazy nice weather we had this weekend. Wrenched a little, went to lunch, laid frame and broke my lip. My resonator is flatspotted lol. Should have a new exhaust setup this spring. Also met a guy that I went to high school with who has a badass ae86. Rawsome.

What a Coincidence

So my bro and I skipped school today. Why? Because we had a paper due. No big fucking deal...whatever. So we go to vatozone to meet up with manny. We show up like a half hour before the store closes because were gonna grab some food and I finished a dope ass wink mirror for him. So were sitting there bullshitting when five minutes before close a guy walks in. I thought nothing of it until I notice who it is. My fucking teacher. What a coinkydink...he proceeded to tell us that he didn't see us in class today. I responded with, "No you did not, our car broke down so that's why were here." Lol. Should be a good semester.




Coinkydink is such a gay word...

Rewind

Haven't blogged in a few days. Updates coming soon. Happy late Valentine's day to all of you guys. Stumbled upon this video while listening to Joey Diamond. Check it out.

Hide Your...What?

Waiting

The Minivan

Shocker is old news

Fixie Riding

Rode my bro's around today and it kicked my ass. I can see myself putting one together for myself soon.

Legaci

Butterface

Forced into picking this up. It's brand new and in the original box, not super rare but definitely cool to have.

I Heart OEM JDM

Fog light switch and Silvia rain guards.

Monkey Boys At It Again

Found these in Manny's photobucket from last fall. We had totally forgotten about them.

Changes

Are happening. And they will continue to happen. For better or worse, there is no stopping them. I have my goals set high, chin up, bro by my side. Every day we're getting just a little closer to where we need to be.

Don't Text and Drive

One of our teachers showed us this in class today. I no longer text and drive. And neither should you.

Going to the Doctor

I'm diabetic, and it's time for a check up. Im going to the same doctor that I've went to since i was first diagnosed at seven. Kind of cool seeing the same people for so long. Hopefully all is well with the diet I'm on and hitting the gym. It's time to get serious again...gotta fit in a bride lol.

Greddy Header

Finally have it in my posession. I still need a dp/test pipe and catback to complete my exhaust setup. I'm still on the fence for which one I want but I have a few in mind. I definitely want a flex section and possibly solid motor mounts since these headers tend to crack at the collector. They're pretty rare for an NA KA though, I've only seen a handful, and the price I paid for it was half of what they usually sell for. Hopefully it will help my car breathe better and unleash a little power until I can go forced induction. I want it to be extra loud and obnoxious lol

HID's

These things came in the mail today. They're Hi/Lo so I'm stoked to see them in my car and how many people get pissed off because they have no cutoff lol. 6000k here we come.

Saturday Mail

My new pedals, chain, and the lockring for my cog are here. Also the wall mount for my guitar showed up. I'm steady counting down the days until I can go riding.

Ban Lifted

Wooo! Shit I didn't know how I was gonna spend my time. Surfing Zilvia as we speak :) haha.

I Got Banned From Zilvia

For doing nothing. Apparently the mods think Taylor and I are one person using multiple usernames. How fun it is to be a twin =)

Dinner With My Broski

Talked me into a gyro at boji. Better than I had anticipated :)

Seats Are Ready To Ship

Took the rear seats out today and finished boxing them up. I had to make my own box for them out of four other boxes since they're so big lol. Its not pretty but it will do the job. There's a kid in Cali supposed to pick em up. Sucked balls working in the snow but it was good for her. Needed to breathe lol. Hopefully next season she'll have a new home in a new garage. Sorry baby.

Forgot If I Posted This Pic

But it's pretty cool so here it is again if I did.

K Sports Are Gone

Sold these guys to a fellow member on Zilvia. They're actually going on jrsink's old vert. Always loved that car. Thing was so rad in it's own way.

Chuki Fogs

My spare set arrived at my door step a few days ago. I'm a happy fellow :) I recently sourced an oem switch as well so hopefully the guy pulls through with it.
