Weather in Los Angeles have been getting warmer luckily. I know, we’re lucky to have anything over 45F blah blah blah not my fault you live in a flyover state. Either way, warmer weather means these weird privacy invading idiots are more out and about. You’ll have random guys ask to take photos of your car so they can feature it to their 100 Instagram followers or the ones asking you some dumb glue licking questions. They usually go in this order:

1) What do you do?

2) How old are you?

3) What do you make?

4) How much did you pay?

5) What do you think about crypto?

My answer usually goes like this.

1) What do you do? None

2) How old are you? Of

3) What do you make? Your

4) How much did you pay? Fucking

5) What do you think about crypto? Business

The weird part is, this only comes when driving the GT3 and absolutely nothing else. I think many tend to forget success is not a formula and you cannot elevate yourself by following a recipe. I’m more than fortunate to be in the position that I’m in and technically working two jobs, no kids and no mortgage is what fuels my car addiction. It also helps that I’m older so I have had more income generated than those that are younger. Those who are closer to me knows that I’m not shy about helping whenever I can but Jesus F. Christ, strangers are weird sometimes. 

Either way, this is the part of the GT3 owner ship that I feel is rarely mentioned but I’m 100% sure, it doesn’t have to be a GT3 to get attention like this. I’m sure those with exotic looking cars like Jaguar F Type will also get similar questions and attention from those that view these cars as a halo of success.

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

Image
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...
