Got some presents in the mail today. Amphenol Milspec connectors and Haltech PS1000 with RacePak Logger Dash. The dash is pretty sick it has GPS Lap tracking and has sensor inputs for pretty much anything you could think of. Best part is it works on a can bus single wire for all the information from the ecu so it will clean up the interior wiring a lot. The milspec connectors are pretty nice too got all my crimp tools and everything lined up stoked to get to work.

Finally got some time to get down on the 510. This whole weekend I am handling shit and getting it back up and running properly. S13 front suspension and brakes and custom front coilovers today.

Thanks to Speedtrialsusa for letting me come out and shake my car down. Always a hassle getting all the bugs worked out. Shakedown went good no major problems just some little stuff we fixed through the day.

Put headlights and built a bumper support for the car today. I was a little bummed about the way the car looked before it just wasnt complete. But with the headlights it completes the body lines and im stoked.

Sorry its been so long since my last post. I have been crazy busy with the shop and the 510. But this weekend I finally brought the car down to the shop and fitted the aero and new coilovers so its kinda presentable again. Thanks to Bruce for the help today! Pics. Boom.

Went by Dai’s Driving School this Sunday to hang out. It was a great event! There was a huge turnout and there were a lot of friends there hanging out. I also had a little surprise from Bruce Kress when I showed up. He drove great and improved a lot! Learned a lot more about drifting and technique. Finally out of 2nd and into 3rd and entering about 20 mph faster then he was used too.

Pics of the surprise. <3

And a random snap to show the sickness of Bruce’s car

Friday I spent a lot of time working on the 510 after work. Im tired of not being able to drive it so I am hoping to have it running this week. Replaced the brake line that I am pretty sure a goat chewed through, fabricated an e-brake bracket, and killed a bad ass black widow. I went to adjust the e-brake because it wasnt working, started pulling on the cable to see how much slack I needed to take out and before I knew it I was holding one end of the cable in my hand. Wondering WTF just happened I looked at the right side drum brake and the bracket was missing to connect the brack cable to the drum. Being a pretty simple bracket and not knowing where I would find a new one I just made a new bracket from scratch. Then I put on the new brake line and bled the brakes and clutch so now the car has working brakes, ebrake, and clutch. As I was working on the ebrake bracket I noticed something climbing down on the lift and sure enough it was a pretty decent sized black widow. I dont like spiders and it kinda freaked me out after that so I was a little sketch finishing up the car. But here are some pics. The carb is sitting next to me on the coffee table waiting on a rebuild kit, all the jets were clogged and it was in bad need of a rebuild. As soon as the kit is in it should be running!

Went to a local gallery Saturday night down the street from work and it was pretty cool. The exhibit had free beer and sake for opening night which made it a big plus! The art was cool some different stuff and some really good stuff. There were artist there doing life sketches and paintings. I was pretty stoked on it and will probably go back for opening night of the next exhibit. The gallery is called Gallery Nucleus its on Main St. in Alhambra, CA. Here are some snaps I got before my battery died. Then we went for ramen afterwards. Beer and Ramen it was a good night!

Worked on this a little bit last week thought I would post it up. Quick fab work on the oil cooler brackets gave me a chance to practice my tig skills too so it was good. Came out pretty good, there is no room behind the bumper so fitment had to be perfect. With the wheels at full lock there is about an 1/8″ of clearance.

This was a busy weekend but I got a lot done. Started with picking up a uhaul trailer and getting the s13 from Orange County. Once I was back I cleaned out the garage the car is living in now and put the 510 in the trailer. Sunday morning was another early morning got up and took the 510 down to work so I can hopefully get the rest of it sorted out and driving this week. Then took the uhaul trailer back and headed to sd to pick up a magical box. Spent the day with Nate Naterson and it was amazing as always <3.
