Fall Update

Lately, I've been pretty consumed with work that I've been trying to find ways to not do anything. Only problem is, if you own a car that can be modified, you can never sit still. There's always some shit you gotta do and something is always broken so if it's not work, it's cars. I don't regret it though, it's been a passion and something I truly enjoy. I've also been watching youtube videos of cars and came across this guy's review on the 981 GT4. The review didn't stand out as anything significant but he said something that really reverberated with how I feel about cars. I could never really pin point my exact feeling until I heard his simple explanation for changing cars. "I value the experience of the next car more than the experience I have with the current." It's such a simple thought that I'm not sure why I couldn't have came up with that myself. Thinking more about it, the GT3 was the ultimate experience that I had so far in terms of car ownership but you know what they say, grass is always greener on the other side. I don't think that if I kept the car, I wouldn't really appreciate the GT3 since all my money was tied into buying the car outright. Lately, I've been getting the itch to get another one but I don't think it's the right time yet.

Anyways, the R33 sideskirts, lip, rear splats have been installed and I'm pretty satisfied with the look of the car minus the wheels. Since all the engine parts are still on back order, I'll probably change out the Recaro RSGK to something like the Recaro Pole Position Artista to match the 90s look better. Also, with the issues lately, I just need my Plazmaman manifold so I can put in the Motec M150, C1212, Wiring Specialty harness and wire in small things.

Last but not least, I picked up the new Supra. I've been holding off buying it for the past year but I really wished I got the car sooner. I'll save my feelings for that car on another post.

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...
