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...

Repairs are on going.....

This Fuckin SUCKS... ordered the knuckle/spindle for my car almost 2 weeks ago and the damn thing isn't here yet. This past weekend Aaron and I took the rear member out to start swapping over parts. We got all the driver side arms installed. Also have to figure out what's wrong w/ my two way... it may be done for.... *SIGH*... The KTS toe rod actually held up pretty good... the stock arm bent but didn't beak... the Yanack Camber arm...well no such luck lol... oh and I have the ball bearings from the axel for a souvenir....The decision has been made to sell my 100 MarkII and buy a daily. I'll probably be pulling the suspension and putting it on the 90 and just track that car if I can't get what I want for it. If I get my asking price I will just let it all go. Then I'll buy some sort of VIP daily (probably a 21 Celsior). Here are some pics from the weekend...
Safety? Jackstands? Who needs'em lol...

The Q-maru......

So the 90 cresta is in my possession once again. It's not really my car... more of a team car as me and the other guys on the team put money into it. I'm gonna be daily-ing it for a few weeks while another team mate uses my car (since i crashed his :/)...Any-hoo... its pretty clean for what it is... has a bunch of gay stickers on it that im gonna take off... team sticker goin on soon... gonna... gotta get the maintenance up on it... it has 212000Km on it lol... a mean exhaust leak... and an auto slushbox.... Immediate plans, change fluids, fix exhaust leak, check brakes, fix loose steering... In the near future a 5spd swap will insue as well as a diff install (probably welded since funds are low).... fender roll and flare and better fitting wheels coming soon as well (already have a shed full of 17's... now they'll get some use haha) that all being said I'm still thinking about selling the 100 (markII) and just track the cresta.................... we'll see... on to the pics...


Joe tryin to steal the show :P

Thanks to Joe, Dre, and Chris for the help tonight...

The Hookup.....

Sooo still collecting parts so I can get the Mark II back on the road. She looks so pitiful sitting atthe shop on three wheels :(. My wife called all around for me to try to find a set of rear arms (adjustable/yes stock is stronger, but way less adjustability-is that a word lol). KTS was closed. Crystal didn't have any and neithe did a bunch of other shops we spoke with. That's when I remembered that Yubo had just changed out his arms due to a new sponsor hookin him up... so after more logistics handling from the wifey... I'm the proud owner of a set of second hand kazama arms. They are in really good shape. Pillow balls still moving around, all the boots are still good (the one thing i really like about kazama is the pillow balls are covered. So yea.. that was awesome... Also, my driveshafts/halfshafts/axles, came in today as well as my largus rear sway bar... STILL not rear spindle though (the part i NEED). So w/in the next few post's you'll see the tear down and repair... as well as a reappearance from the missle 90 cresta :)... its my daily until MarkII is on the road.
Yubo strikin' a pose....

The Goods....

Trip to Chiba....

So we went up to Seed Racing to pick Aaron's Chaser up. Car actually has about 5 more kg of torqe and another 30PS or so. That along with the 4.1 final, Aaron says it's a huge difference. Guys at Seed were cool as always. I sold Morita (one of the mechanics who own's a 100 Cresta *sniff*) a set of Car Koubou fenders I had that I never got to use.... All in all a nice trip... sucks we had to work first thing in the morning though :/

Gettin' some gas on the way home...

You can see the beast we drove up in behind the chaser... Nissan Tida... damn thing had 6 cupholder IN THE FRONT lol

Customer's car JZS147 Aristo. All it had was boost up tune.

Aaaaaaand 6pot/4pot brake kit...


Widebody FC3S... I really want one of these... just scared of the engines lol.. they way I drive, I'd be poppin em left and right..
