Merry Christmas?

This weekend was pretty productive as I was able to 

install my new downpipe, oil cooler adapter, and radiator.

  Also, I fitted my power steering and oil catch can. 

Lastly, I got my chassis harness back in.  

I think I might have even done it all correctly.  

My engine harness comes in on Tuesday and I'm trying to get

 off of work on Wednesday to install it.  

I'm just waiting on my intake manifold to IC piping reducer and my new fan setup.  

This may lead to a very Merry Christmas.

Shopping is also a man's best friend.

So you know how girls like to go shopping when they get upset? Then they impulsively buy a shit ton of things they don't need? Well, I pre-planned my impulse buys. That may not make sense now, but it's about to.

Yeah, so basically I have a list of things I need in order to complete the drift car, and these were a few items on the list. (=

Nifty little gadget that will allow me to keep a good eye on my coolant temps as well as my oil pressure...

RB to s13 chassis downpipe/test pipe combo.

Exactly that. Kind of a home made piece, but I like it. It will allow me to sell both my downpipe as well as my test pipe from my chassis now, which will make this item almost FREE.

Waiting to hear back from Wiring Specialties about some stuff and some things (=

What you see is what you get.

This is pretty much how it's going to look.

Just need my radiator and wiring harness now!

P.S. Tommy Cho, if you don't hook me up with some toys soon, that vinyl is coming off!

Just kidding, love you Tommy!

new homes

Not as long or as difficult as you would think.

Help from a few homies.

Depending how long it takes to get my new harness,

is how long it will be until this thing is going.

cool stuff for me

So I got my goodies in today (most of them anyway)

Let's have a peek.

I'm pretty eager to get going, but I won't have a REAL day to work on it til MAYBE Wednesday, or at the latest Sunday. Oh well, gotta make money!

Under the knife... again...

So I've never really taken my time with anything when it comes to my car, I just want it up and running and drivable. This time, it's going to be different. I'm going to take my time and do it right.

The car is pretty well prepped for the engine now, just a few minor things to hit on.

I also FINALLY got that solid steering bushing installed. Talk about a slacker.

a few more pics...

Clean enough to eat off.

Thanks to

Raw Brokerage and Ross Tuffbond

for all the support!

Closer and closer...

Should be here next week.

Minor Details.

So as I have previously stated, I don't have any experience in editing photos or anything, but if you had to choose, which would you? I haven't cleared anything with Raw Brokerage yet, but these are just my ideas... vinyl will be done in CHROME, unless someone else suggests something that is more appealing.

Let me know what you think!

Also, engine should be here soon and if all goes smooth-ish, I should have a running drift car in less than 1 month!

ABOUT TIME.

Spinning more than tires...

Since the last post, I have spun yet another rod bearing on yet another SR... I recently picked up an S15 bottom end which I'm going to do a full rebuild on to include (most likely) Cosworth bearings. Other than that OEM rebuild most likely. I'm on a T25 now, and to be honest, I love the response. I don't need all the power of a bigger turbo... well not for a while at least... for now, I will leave you this this sweet sweet memory...

Lacking Excitement?

So is my blogspot.

Sorry to anyone who actually checks up on this thing.

Quick recap of recent events:

So here's some shots from the guys at National Speed...

I guess blown up cars pull big crowds?

It started as a beautiful day...

Then I got an itch...

This is what happens when it runs right...

This is what happens when it doesn't...

Moral of the story?

100% > 75%

100% > 110%

Give it your all, and not one bit more!

Dyno Day's Big Winner

I took another trip down to National Speed Inc last weekend and ended up "competing" in their Dyno Day, needless to say, I won.

Who ever said it's the size that matters?

Also, bought some drift spares...

If anyone remembers the Z33 from my previous stop at NSI, here it is again.

Oh yeah, and look at this craziness!
