Tire Shine.......

So I never use tire shine... shit just sprays all over the body of the car (even if u wipe it off before u drive off...and if it rains , u can forget just wiping the car down)... hate that...buddy of mine gave me some stuff (don't remember the name, will share later), supposed to be pretty bad ass... so I figured I'd try it out....man I forgot how much of a difference it makes lol... looks so much better than havin' "ashey" tires lol

Two tone baby.....

Led Tails... so jealous... my car in the background....

MISSION BLOOOOWWWWWW....

We are all used to hearing this from D1 comps haha... ususally Daigo Saito's beast.... well Troy unfortunately had this happen to him at his first shake down at Fuji Drit Park. Was only on his SECOND lap of the FIRST heat and the mission went on him.... Second gear I believe... sucks... i feel for him... but I suppose the mission was the weakest link.... low mileage diff, new clutch, low mileage engine, new tune w/ around 500 ps (previously stock), and the 200000+ kilometer r154 haha... Car is down now and mission is being rebuilt... pics below

Roger our local 1J/2J/r154 guru puttin in work.....

Hopefully the car will be back on the road in a week or so... still need to order parts from toyota....

Nada........

Nothing much going on lately.... a few guys are going to fuji later on this week. I can't go because I have to work... sucks... my car's not ready anyway... doesn't make it suck any less lol... Also gotta get my wife's chaser ready for shakken and possibly get her front bumper fixed and my front bumper and all my fenders fixed before the base car show (don't think the body work is gonna happen... but we'll see)....

I SPY............

A blue carbon weld tilt up (reverse) hood. Picture is of CHIPS Watanabe's shop. Aaron left it over there like 10 years ago when he got the car painted the first time and changed to the BN Sports hood.

Antweezy Bippu.......

This S14 originally belonged to Jerm's wife... another catch right haha... Anthony bought the car and just took it to a new level. Amazing what lowering a car some more and adding spacers can do haha.... but seriously, he's put a lot of work into it.... gonna hate to see it go (as he may be getting rid of it soon).

Loaner wheels from dre....

Dre mounted the new tires on the wheels but i still haven't put em on yet... too lazy... sick as dog right now too :(.... also bought the wrong size tires.... we'll see how that works out.....

Skyline....

So, I've always wanted a pics w/ the Yokohama skyline in the background. Problem is I can barely get my car into some of the ideal locations. On my way to daikoku I decided to stop and try this out.. You can see the ferris wheel lightshow in the background... sorry the pics kinda suck lol...

Good Times......

The guys from Atsugi/Yokota/Team Shake It/Team Axis came out and hung out w/ SS in Yokohama. Fun was had I almost lost my bumper... Good times...

Troy's new toys.....

So haven't done a post about troy's chaser yet. I've posted pics of him putting in work at drift park but never a post on specs and what not... so here she is...
Classic toyota green w/ Work XD9's in wmb in front and Ray's Connasuirs (dunno how to spell'em) in the rear...
And here's what I'm making all the fuss about. Just picked it up from Toru our friendly local 1JZ Guru (formerly a tuner/builder/mechanic @ WELD), who installed a Exedy Twin metal clutch, Greddy t67-25g kit w/ 8cm exhaust housing (shit spools almost like stock), 530 cc injectors, Blitz oil cooler, and HKS EVC 5. Car feels so ridiculous. Can't wait to see it sideways....

Never did post pics of his cockpit.... so here they are.... Bride Brix II

Nardi 330 Deep Corn, HKS EVC 5, Power FC commander, Spin Turn knob... you know, the essentials....

What a waste.....

So it seems everyone I drive with for the most part is getting a boost of HP this summer. Sucks to be the one (yea I know u feel me too jeremy haha) one not getting a tune or new turbo or whateves.... but then I go and see this. Actually noticed it when I picked my car up from the shop. So, Chips Watanabe/Grenade/Great Company all used to/still do, get their customers cars painted at Sakura (the paint shop me and aaron's car got painted at- the shop in the pics). Chips also shared the shop w/ Sakura for a year or so. When Watanabe (Chips owner) was working at Sakura's shop, he pulled a vvt-i motor from a car. If you look closely it has a blitz k380v/450v turbine on it. What sucks so bad is that was 3.5 + year ago. I never payed any attention cuz at the time i didn't even drive a toyota.... That engine has been sitting in the same spot every since....what a waste...

Take II Continued......

More pics of prep work. Top of the car is painted. Two/Tone will have a new line. She's getting there.
