Queens of the Stone Age is not pussy shit rock. In fact, I bet they could rock your socks off and then some. If you listened, you would know.

A Song for the Deaf

Go With the Flow
No One Knows
3\'s and 7\'s
Little Sister
Burn the Witch
You Think I Ain\'t Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire

WORSHIP, NOW!

I haven’t had much time to post anything on here lately (besides the Fake Shit post) but here’s a little bit on what I’ve been up to.

About two weeks ago Clifford, Richard, Steven and I went to the Hella Flush show at Go Kart Racer in Burlingame. Peep this:

Richard said that lip was so clean he could eat off it. Then he actually almost licked it.

Met up with Emily. Hi Emily!

Mark Arcenal’s s14 with a new white paintjob

New e92 m3. Not sure if I dig this one.

This is Cal’s (Speed Element) s14. Check out the Skyline wheels, that’s the original white paint.
Sickass bike.

Supermade s13. I’m in love with this car.

Oh baby!

My future wife’s car. So if you’re single…

Speed Element Evo X

The Hella Flush show probably could’ve been called the Evo Show and no one would question it.

Scratch the GS from earlier, this is my future wife’s car. Anyone that’s ever talked to me about a daily, or what car they’d get for their wife knows I’m absolutely in love with the GS300. Again, if you’re single…

I WANT ONE

A really great show with a good turnout. If you missed this one, there’s another one in October.

This summer I’ve been super busy with my car. Since getting those RUCA’s I’ve also gotten this in:



Nagisa Auto Super Low rails. Of course, since in Japan the left rail is the passenger rail, this wasn’t designed to accommodate my trunk/gas door lever so I had to cut off part of the bracket. Not a good job I know, I’ll do a cleaner job when I have the time.

I also finally got some of the parts I ordered from SPL. These came in yesterday:

Rear toe rods. Does that black finish look dirty to you? Well it’s not paint, it’s actually a black cadmium plating that prevents corrosion. The bend in the rod was included in the design in order to clear the subframe in lowered cars. I think these might be the only ones designed like this on the market.

New and old, side by side.

In it’s new home.
Today I got these babies in

Traction rods, with the same cadmium plating.

The beauty of perfect fitment.

Also, if you’ve been up (or down :D) Hwy 9 on stock s13 brakes, you probably know the brake fade can get kinda scary. So, Steven and I both picked up a pair of these from SPL to see if they’d help.

Brake cooling deflectors, don’t make fun of me for the blue. I wanted Black but they didn’t have anymore. It’s okay though, you can’t see it.

They bolt right up to the SPL tension rods which were designed to hold the deflectors. (They come separately though)

I also rolled my fenders so now I can go even lower!!! Hahaha just kidding…not anytime soon anyway… Thanks Cal, if you ever somehow come across this, for hooking it up.

That’s all folks!

Oh, btw if anyone wants to watch Autocross, we’re going to one in Marina on the 10th. Ask me or Richard or Steven or Clifford about it if you’re interested in tagging along, to participate or just to watch.

Is it just me or does everyone feel more and more oppressed by the government lately?

What’s next?

For many many years, I’ve been opposed to buying knockoff parts for cars. If you know me, then you’ll also know I am deadly passionate about what I put on my car, as well as what my friends put on their cars. So it’s no surprise that if someone comes up to me asking if they should get a knockoff part, rather than a real quality part with tons of R&D backing it, I get pretty upset. Unfortunately, this usually comes out in the form of, “Hell no, that thing’s a piece of shit why would you even consider getting that?” While perusing some blogs today after work, I came upon this post by Ben Schaffer on The Real JDM: http://www.bespokeventures.com/blog/?p=1002

If you love cars, please please PLEASE read this article. It puts into words what I never could. I know there are a lot of you out there who share my beliefs, but even so please read the article. For those of you who never took me seriously and never believed me, and went out and bought knockoffs despite my advice, then went around telling people you were so into cars and so JDM and shit, ULTRA please read this article and see how you’re helping to destroy the industry and culture of something you claim to love so much.

Thanks.

My C’s short shifter came in today:

DOUBLE COMRADE POWER

Just kidding, I don’t have a middle name.  But if I did, it would be Splurge.  Or Spike.  Haha anyway if you read my last post you would know that in the past month or so I’ve ordered RUCA’s, tie rods and rear toe rods for my car.  Well what you don’t know is last week I ordered a new clutch to fix this annoying ass clutch chatter problem my car’s had since I got it 2 years ago, and a new C’s short shifter.  Remember a long time ago I got that quick release for my steering wheel?  Same company.

Today marks the beginning of my clutch installation.  We’ve already broken the head off a shitty, rusty, oldass exhaust bolt.  Check back for updates on our progress.

Since it’s summer now, I’m trying to get a lot of stuff done on my car before I take it to Irvine in September. Started off ordering some SPL RUCA’s and tie rods (actually only the ends are SPL, the tie rods are actually Tein z33 tie rods). Earlier this week I decided to get some rear toe rods too since my rabbit Bunbun died RIP Bunbun. Unfortunately SPL ran out of their tie rods and toe rods, so I’m waiting for them to finish their next batch. The RUCA’s however arrived in a timely manner, so now I have some nice shiny new RUCA’s in my car. Sometime within the next few weeks I’m gonna finish it all up with some traction rods and hit up the alignment shop. I’m also expecting a new clutch in about a week, so I should be pretty busy for the next month or so, with school and work and my car.

Looks like an S14 RUCA huh?

s13 partner in crime

Shabooya!

The tubing they used on the RUCA’s is fucking fatass shit, they only clear my coilovers by like a millimeter.

According to Justin, cops and strippers have similar tastes when it comes to footwear:
