Sooooooo... thinkin bout bitin' Brian's style and gettin a scooter.. haha... this DIO is pretty F'n sick... and so is this Ruckus (thanks to Ron for the pic)...

Today on YAJ.....

I know its been dead around here for a while and we apologize. Got some interesting pics and vids... gonna try to start 'a day in the life' type of series... we'll see how that works out... shit like how we barely get in and out of our parking spot... or the hill we have to take our bumpers off to get down when leaving everyday... you know... stupid shit like that... anyways... on to today's yaj car... this is for aaron...car was a former VIP magazine cover car... so serious... i love it... UCF30 Celsior... BBS, Brembo BBK, Aftermarket Air... pics speak for themselves... they want 5 million yen (a bit steep but it just may cost that to duplicate it)... car has like NO mileage on it (REALLY LOW)...

Black Friday Vid...

Thanks go Driftholics for the shoutouts... even though our cars were in the paddock most of the video lol... LA and I made a few appearances...

Driftholics Black Friday Event Part 2....

Thanks to the camera crew. Sarah and Dan took a lot of pics and video. Didn't really get any good video thanks to Dan's A.D.D.... Jeremy's car was down half the day so there are pretty much no action pics of his car. We did get some drifting in together but not much...
Nice Rack.... Camera rack ;)
Track conditions started off shitty... but it dried up later in the day...





Jeremy and Chad taking Jerm's engine bay apart to pull the turbine...
There's your problem!!

Driftholics Black Friday Event at Fuji Drift Park....

What A DAY.... all three cars were broken as some part of the day... Jeremy's MarkII blew his trubine on his first session... on Aaron's second session he shredded his wiring harness... and on my second to last session I broke a tie rod end... done yet??? no.. after Jeremy gets the car back together w/ the new (used) turbine, me and him finally get a little bit of tandem in... then guess what... HIS tie rod end breaks lol... opposite side of mine... luckily jeremy had brought a set of tie rods and ends so we just pull the kazama ends off and replaced them w/ stock ones (we'll be using stockers from now on... kazama can suck my balls).... aaron had plenty of wire and shrink wrap on hand and extended and rerouted his harness and then he too was able to get back out there... thanks to everyone that made the day fun/successfull... thanks to Chad our crew chief/head mechanic... was a crazy day... will get the action pics up soon.... hopefully some vids as well... Thanks to Burt for the photo's.... More to come....

KTS Heiwajima....

So Aaron and I went to KTS last Tuesday to get the cars aligned, ride height adjusted, and some new parts installed. Aaron got damn near every arm and brace KTS had to offer. He lowered his car about two inches and I had the rear of my car raised about the same amount (don't ask).... KTS is a awesome shop though. They align to your specs or if you don't know what you need they ask what you plan to do and they go from there. Shop has a full range of parts and accessories... Alignment and ride height adjustment on my car was only $160... can't beat that.
Heiwajima... its on the edge of kawasaki and tokyo haneda...

On the Road Again....

So with the help of some teammates and friends my car is back on the road again.... Took WAAAAAYYYYYY longer than I expected, but its ready in time for our track day on Black Friday (all except for the alighment, which will be done this week). Have the aero situation KINDA sorted out... Was going to try to salvage all the Traum aero but some of it didnt make it off the tow truck and was thrown away. So I have 3/4 of a rear bumper and about the same o a sidestep.... SOOOO the sides steps from my dearly departed 100 Cresta are on the car now... the fit ok but I'm gonna make some brackets so that they flare properly... The rear lip from the Cresta on the other hand does not fit.... SO I put Jeremy's Missle rear bumper on ... flows pretty well w/ the front bumper and once the sidesteps are done it'll look great I think.... Also plan to put the sidemarkers back in the new set of sidesteps sometime this week... not high on the list of to do's though... still need to get some tires mounted.... gonna be a long short week... here are a few pics... more to come... Too bad al these wheels are gone, Mae's are sold and will be shipped in a few days... Viennas are going to a member of Driftholics another local crew.... Probably gonna borrow the AME's that used to be on Aaron's car until I can find another set of wheels... have my eyes on some Eurolines... we'll see....

UCF11/21 Celsior Love.....

REALLY serious about this... the money from the sale of the markII will go directly into one of these... I'd totally prefer a 20/21 but I don't mind the 10/11 model either... Found a 21 on YAJ already done (first car pictured), Locksmice Dukes, air sus controller, aero, muffler, 4 grand :( FML....

More MAE and AVS pics.....

So buyers asked for pics and I sent them in emails to a few people but they fell off the face of the earth. I haven't been on the forums lately so I apologize to the people that have been waiting for correspondance on there...

AVS look way worse than they are... missing around the lip of the rim is from mounting rims...





MAE's... man I don't want to sell em... but need monies...
