A Glimpse of Reality

done at last

2011-03-28T13:55:00.001-07:00

Well the paint job and anything associated with it is done for the time being. Future plans are new wheels, tint, rebuild+ turbo the sohc, and then off to the track again.

updates

2011-03-07T13:45:00.000-08:00

After 3 months of being in the paint shop, here are the current results, it still needs some work.

Great way to start the summer

2010-06-10T21:26:00.000-07:00

Well today i had my last final, along with this my brand new kouki tail lights arrive. Enjoy =)

Brick, Bricks, Bricks

2010-06-07T03:44:00.000-07:00

Well i trade my dual projectors for some brick headlights. Lots of fun with the low viability at night lol. I'm going to need to fix some wiring, unfortunately i dont have a soldering gun or pen so i'll need to buy one this week. Bad news, my drive shaft has a bad u-joint and the steel wool in my exhaust is making an annoying ass rattle. To top everything off i have finals this week. Pictures coming soon.

Getting tired of the same old same old

2010-05-20T15:58:00.001-07:00

Well im starting to get tired of how my car looks. The mb battles have played their role on my car for long enough and im in the market for some new wheels now. Now the wheels specs are all up in the air because i have not decided whether i'll go wide body now of after a track mishap.

first track day

2010-05-01T17:52:00.000-07:00

Well today i went to May mayhem courtesy of 626 drift. I had alot of fun out there and im sure i'll get the hang of it in a few more events. Unfortunately one of my axles was leaking before the event. During the event i had some issues with my engine, but its gone now so i can only assume its because i was pushing the car too hard. Well while checking things out i noticed that my axles had throw grease all over the subframe. Well here are some pics of the event. Hopefully i can find my camera so i can get more pics.

Just got my helmet and a nismo 2 way with j30 axles installed!!!

2010-04-17T20:30:00.001-07:00

Well its as the title states. Here are pics, Thanks to Jordan Innovations for doing the lsd installation.

Done for the moment

2010-03-27T13:46:00.000-07:00

Well I had the sway bars installed along with the rest of the part shop max arms and new rack and pinion. The car feels very responsive but i am missing a lsd. I'll be getting that, seats, and a helmet in the next weeks. i've decided on going with the helmet above along with some replica bride reclinable bucket seats. Not because i want to fake the funk, but because the stock seats are killing me and i would prefer to get both seats replaced instead of only buying 1 bride brix seat and leaving the other one shit. I will be getting a 1.5 or 2 way lsd.

Well there are no updates so far, im still waiting on West Covina Nissan to get their tie rods in stock. It's been over a month and the least i can say is that im disappointed. Once they finally get here i'll install my part shop max tension rods.

Cup holder for the win

2010-02-02T10:35:00.000-08:00

A while go i got a cup holder, i can finally have a drink in my car. its not that great but its a fuzzy cup holder.

Alignment and PSM install!!!

2010-02-01T11:52:00.000-08:00

Well i finally got around to installing my partshop max ruca, toe arm, and traction rod. Along with this i got my alignment at city tire, unfortunately my ride height isn't exactly even. I'm still planning on getting the Partshop Max steering angle kit, but not until i head to the track first.

got my fender rolled and some new parts arrived

2010-01-19T16:43:00.000-08:00

Well my pbm parts arrived yesterday.... oh joy now i can finally get a proper alignment. Along with this my fenders were rolled and i don't rub as much, unfortunately i still need to relocate my harness.

Heres some pictures, enjoy.

I need my fenders pulled!!!

2010-01-17T17:15:00.000-08:00

thats basically how my car looks with the back lifted up about 1/2 inches higher than what im actually going to have it. Hopefully i can get my fenders rolled so i can be set.

Finally finished my 5 lug swap.

2010-01-16T23:25:00.000-08:00

So i just finished installing my stance gr+ pros and 5 lug hubs. It was hard at first but once i got some rest i was able to see the problems. All i need now is to find someone to roll my fenders so i can get this thing rolling.

First day of my Winter quarter

2010-01-04T19:46:00.000-08:00

Well today was the first day of winter and all i can think of is how bad trying to add is. The only good thing was the brand new Falken Ziex 912 that i got for my mb battles 17x9.5 + 15

Here they are!!!!

ENJOY!!!

New Years

2009-12-31T23:43:00.000-08:00

Well new years is just hours away. I cant wait to spend another year with the love of my life. Shes just a great gal.

New glass and trim

2009-12-29T00:18:00.000-08:00

Well i picked up a deal, I bought 2 white doors with glass and trim that was in good shape.I installed these 2 days ago and i feel like there's at least some progress.
As she sits now------------------
<----- This is what my end goal is with the exception of the front bumper, i might settle with keeping the current front bumper and getting a lip for it instead. ^

After finishing the exterior i'll slowly upgrade the interior for comfort while planing a engine swap. My current choices are to rebuild and supercharge my ka, to get a black top sr20, or to get a rb20/25. I have the option of supercharging just because i love the sound and the idea of a n/a daily/track car.

To begin

2009-12-08T21:23:00.001-08:00

Well theres nothing much to say right now. Tomorrow is my last final, and im glad to finish this quarter. It has been hell and im ready to relax and work on my car along with spending time with my girlfriend.

Well this is how my car( audrey) sits now. She has a sil80 front and looks stock which i like. I have alot of suspension parts waiting i just need some wheels, tension rods, and traction rods before i put everything together.
