Trying to catch up....

For the people that do look for updates we appreciate the love. Sorry for the lack there of [updates]. Had a pretty busy/fun/eventful weekend. Finally got the Cresta back on the road and it felt good to be behind the wheel. Ride height and wheel setup are not finished but I just wanted to get it out on the road for a shake down. Also trying to break in the clutch. Cruised around Yokohama with Brian from Panda Pirates, Jeremy, and Dre from SS. Aaron was supposed to come out but had just got off a plane returning to japan shortly before. Sunday I took the car back down to start working on suspension. It will be OOC until next weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the clutch break-in before I leave for vacation to Chicago next Saturday. Lastly, Monday my buddy Goat (fear the beard) took me up to ST. Garage to register for JZ meeting. It's been a goal of mine to participate in one of these. Jeremy and I will be driving in intermediate class @ Fuji Drift Park for the annual meet on Sept. 18th. Watch for that update :) That's about it... heres a few pics from the weekend.

Long day...

Well I was able to get the parts car (Mark II) 98% dismantled today. Also got the clutch master cylinder installed on the Cresta. Was hoping to have the Engine re-installed but theres a little bit of maintenance I want to do on it first so I decided to just hold off. Also would be much easier to install the clutch line (from master to slave) w/ the engine out of the car (a part I don't even have yet). Long day. Didn't get as much as I wanted accomplished but made good progress. The amount of goodies on this car is awesome. Even came w/ a tourer v bible. Here's a few pics my buddy Z took check him out @ Route16 Z ... thanks bro
