It moves!

Drove the car today. A LOT!! I put about 100 miles on it today. Everything works great, but there are still a few issues.

1. Need to re-roll the fenders, RE01Rs are being eaten alive right now
2. Exhaust leak between the header and midpipe
3. Alignment needed, hardcore
4. Needs new steering rack!

Other than that, this night has been awesome. Hung out with the roomates and other friends at China town, hit up all the spots with my friend Alicia, then did like 2 hours of solo driving, then had a photoshoot with AJ, then came home at 4:00AM. Finally nice to get some energy out there. Although I discovered that I had forgot EVERYTHING about drifting heh, even though I couldn't clutch kick or use e-brake, I discovered that all my steering responses were waay slow. So hopefully I can improve now.

So this concludes my amazing night, thanks to everyone who enjoyed it with me :-) Although the solo-action had to be the best.

Nothing better than driving with the top-down, blasting music, dodging potholes, looking up at the city skyline from right below. Perfection.

Tsukuba Hyper Meeting 2008

I am sure a lot of you follow the auto-otaku blog, but I was so stunned by this video that I had to share it. ALL of the cars are sick, and it features tuner cars going head to head between the new Evo and Sti. Pretty cool stuff

quick update

It moves, but I still need to adjust the clutch some more, I dont think the car is fully going into gear. Other than that, it revs up REALLY fast now, I really like the effects of the flywheel

Up next: some rowdy exhaust system, new wheels, fix the top, new e-brake cables, and possibly a radiator if I feel it necessary. So who knows, at this point, I just wanna drive the car and drift it, dont care too much about the details hah.

IT did feel good to drive again, forgot how much of an escape driving is to me. Can't wait to drive it more! Anyways, peace.
