Long Time, No Update

Apologize for the lack of updates. Here are a few quick shots to bring everyone up to speed.
New Subframe and Bushings


The new top feed fuel rail and 680cc injectors.




Finally.
The Trans Crossmember requires a MKIII Rubber Mount. So, that is on order.

Need more $, and a few other parts. Then I'll be focusing on suspension arms/aero for my financial expenditures.

More updates to come!

Utah's Season Opener

Saga Outerwear does Snowbird Opening Day from Saga outerwear on Vimeo.

Here's a short edit from opening day at Snowbird the guys at Saga Outerwear put together.

Probably the single greatest time of the year for me besides that first drift event in the Spring. A string of early snow fronts has hit Utah in the past weeks pushing opening day up to November 13th. Most resorts have close to a 30" base prime for the first turns of the season.
Brighton opening November 11th, followed by Solitude on the 12th, and Snowbird the 13th.

Park City is set to open next weekend on November 20th.

Excite.

The Time has Come...Winter Build

Setrab Oil Cooler.    
2JZ AEM EMS, Jumper Harness, Apex'i Big Power Intercooler 28x9x4.75, 3" ARC EndTanks
AERO !! Finally. Version Select Type II
Ahhh. 2 years later, I get aero. Shoot
SR is Out, Dang that thing is Clean.
Lots of Cleaning. Energy Suspension Steering Rack Bushings...
Time to Party. 1JZ, R154, S-Chassis Mount Kit
I was pretty damn excited to find that AEM EMS. I'm a pretty big nerd when it comes to tuning, so no more screwing around. I will be ordering SS -6AN Lines to transfer all the fuel lines to the driver side frame rail. I will be using an inline filter and a 2nd Walbro 255 in the engine bay feeding the rail. Since, I'm back at school progress will be slow from here until around Thanksgiving. Things will really start to come together during Christmas break.

Oh, and I'll be doing a bunch of routine maintenance to the engine:
- Timing Belt
- A/C Delete Belt
- Water Pump
- R154, Output Seal
- Front and Rear Main Seals
- Belt Tensioner
- Idler Pulley
- Cam Seals
Next parts on the list to order:
- ACT Extreme 6 Puck Clutch, 3200lb. Pressure Plate
- AN Lines for the Fuel System
- 57-1 or 60-1 T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo

Saying GoodBye to a Companion

Monday afternoon, my long time loyal Old English Mastiff companion passed away. April was 11 years old and was the best garage buddy anyone could ask for.

Tongue never seemed to fit in her mouth when she slept xD
April on the Left. Sarge on Right.
Miss you April <3.

Videos for the Day.


One of my favorites. Pretty huge German car fan, even more so GT3 Racing. Incredible.

Last two videos are of a drift car in Japan testing one of the very first modified steering knuckle.
