Poles 3, me ZERO

So I went to Sakura today to take pics of Troy's Chaser... here are the pics. Got a peak under the hood and the crank was not touched. The clutch fan however got raped. Along w/ it the serpentine belt doesn't look so good either.... among other things (exterior - hood/grille/headlights/core support/radiator/intercooler/oilcooler etc).... On a good note there seems to be no frame damage. None of the body lines are tweaked, frong windshield didn't break. Pictures are in the insurance companies hands... Wish us luck.....

Hits just keep coming.....

So yesterday was SHIT... So I drove Troy's chaser to work because my tires were showing wire/patches of rubber missing. On my way home from work to do track prep and load the markII up for the event at Fuji today, I had ANOTHER DAMN Accident... Right past an intersection two cars collided in front of me. I swerved to miss the car still in my lane (blocking both lanes actually), and hit a damn pole...FML... So now I get to call Troy and tell him I had an accident in his car that he JUST left in my care...and that he just spent a nice chunk of money on.... FML...

No injuries on my part though, Japanese and military police ruled in my favor. Accident was 100 percent at fault of the 82 year old japanese guy who hit the other car in front of me. No tickets issued. Took the chaser to Sakura. They're gonna look at it and see if it's worth salvaging.

Pics later..

This F'n SUCKS...

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.

Take II......

The Chaser is back in the body shop. This time they're doing it right this time(well mostly- couldn't get them to cut as much as aaron wanted out of the rear fender... but its more clearnce than he had).... door skins reattached, fenders repaired, aero pics soon
