December Car Update and Thoughts

 I was looking at my previous post and realized how unorganized things can be when it’s not constantly updated. Sure I can go back and organize it but once it’s published, that’s it for me. 

November and December has been a long month for work and cars. It’s my busy season so day to day feels long but the months have gone by relatively quickly. In November, I sold both the R32 and S14. S14 went to my friend John (IG: @yooitzjohn) since he’s looking to have another drift car. Knowing him, he’s like me, it’ll be gone in a few months. 

The R32 was a harder one to sell. Not so much because of how clean it is but mainly because it was a car I really wanted for 4-5 years. I think if the R33 didn’t come along, I wouldn’t have a reason to sell the 32. On the other hand, I’m glad the 32 went to my friend Sako. I know he’s been wanting one for so long so I think this is the perfect car for him. 

With the money from the R32 and S14, I used that to purchase a 991.1 GT3. I never really planned on getting one so soon but I think 2020 has taught us more than anything to just enjoy what you can while you can. 


I think my thing with GT3 started when I worked at Rennspec. Before working there, I knew the GT3 existed but I only really knew about the turbo model. I never really gave the GT3 much thought but working there, Simon had a black 997.1 GT3. To me, that was the perfect car at the time and was hoping to get one within 10 years. Things happened, 10 years passed and I didn’t really set the car out as my goal but here it is, all the pieces connected and I purchased one. I’ve had the car for a few weeks now and I think my perception of the car changes for the better the longer I own it. Since the car came with some mods like Emotion Engineering Stage 3, Advan GT, GMG center delete and GMG roll bar, the logical thing to do would be to buy some BBS. Shitty thing is, BBS E89 won’t be here until May. Until then, I’m going to Aki to adjust the ride height and install some Tarett parts that I ordered.

Summer Thoughts and Updates

I've been lacking it this summer to be honest. I feel like so much has happened so far from setting up the warehouse to going to Europe for workcation but this summer still feels incomplete and I have an idea why. Lately, I've been really playing with my cars as a form of outlet regardless if it's stressful or not. Whether if it was bad or good, it was always somewhat relaxing but I'm starting to see this mentality change. Earlier this month, I picked up my R33 from ABS Autobody and had a few mods I've been trying to install. First thing I had get done was install Ohlins, Ikeya arms and SPL arms. Shortly after that, I put on the CE28 from my old R32 and yeah, everything decided to fail. First thing that went was the fuel pump control module then the bursted line and lastly, the alternator. I threw on a Link ecu from Matt to do the lazy way of checking all the vitals and realized that after we checked the fuel pump, we threw it back in and probably cracked the line s...

S2000 Summer Pt1

Man, it's been a good minute since I've updated this shit but I finally have time to sit down for a few and take my mind of things to reflect back. Lately, life has been pretty hectic with work, travel and setting up the warehouse. Where I have down time, I usually use that time to arrange things for my cars or go run personal errands.  I had to go back to my previous post to look at what I had written since the car has gone through a slight transformation since then. Most importantly, the Regamasters and Renegade CF wing stands are finally on so the car, from the outside, looks about how I imagined it to look. Since this was mainly to be used as a track car, I added a splitter up front and Arvou tow hook to help. These were the few other exterior bits that were added but they're more for function than make the car look more aesthetically pleasing.  As for the suspension, Ikeya arms were added up front to help with camber and clearing the front fenders. I also switched out ...

S2000, 15 years later

Image
 I've spent the past 2 months slowly piecing the s2000 together. The car finally came back from the paint shop and Formula S. It's been fun putting this together and hunting for all the little parts but I'm still not done with this car yet. Every part has a purpose and a reason on why it's included. After bringing the car back and really looking at it, the car brings back so much memories from late 00s and early 2010s. It doesn't really stand out as a car that was built recently other than the Advan TC4 that are on it. Other than that, the S2 has been fun to drive and feels way quicker in the turn than anything I've had in the last few years. I have some road trips and track days coming up soon and hopefully will have more to post then! 2006 Sebring Silver S2000 Shine ASM style front bumper Shine ASM style rear bumper Shine ASM style hood Downforce Sidestep Mugen Hardtop EVS Mirrors Voltex Type 2 Arvou Tow Hook Advan TC4 Black Chrome 18x9.5 +45 Falken Azenis RT6...
