AT LAST!!! ♪fanfare music plays♫

i finished the damm car, i've been daily in it even if it looks like crap since it's my only car... but the interior was all incomplete missing panels and what not, wires, ecu, fuse boxes all on the floor... it was a disaster... i installed everything these past few days... can't wait to fix the brakes and get coils for it!

hopefully now the blog will start getting more common updates...

new brakes fail... FML

so i stated i might be getting new 30mm brakes in my last post, to explain why i said NEW 30mm...

a long time ago i purchased from a local dbag sold me some "30mm" alum front brakes from a z32, "circuit sports" 30mm cross drilled/slotted and conversion lines, all new hardware... now i painted the brakes and everything but i never really took a good look at measuring them, just checking if they were aluminum or iron and that's about it...

about a month ago my front passenger side caliper is locking up making a loud clunk noise, since i new i had those around here lying around i went to get some autozone pads (till i get better rotors and rebuild the calipers, so i would then get some hawk HPS or axxis ultimate pads)sooooooooooooo the day came to install and after some trouble and not being able to get the rotor to spin, even took the rotors to get checked if the drilling was mad correctly for the 4x114.3 (im still not 5 lug till i get coils and a decent set of wheels)... i noticed the calipers were 26mm, i think the dbag measured them and since they space to 30mm he thought they were 30mm... my stupidity for trusting morons from PR and not checking... theeeen i notice that the lines and calipers are missing the damm fitting to connect the lines to the calipers... had to go back to stock for the moment...

now, im selling the 26mm calipers to get the 30mm and already ordered the earl's fitting from summit... let's see when i get to fix the brakes now... this was a bigggggg FML

on the other hand got most of the interior done, just need to plug in the + and ground wires for the gauges and boost controller, fixed the turbo timer which wasn't working for who knows what reason...

pics will be up when im finished...

let's wish for a better year than '09

this year has been really tough on me, hope 2010 turns out a bit more positive... college is over for now, applied for a new college this past week, hopefully they will accept me... so i might be able to make more time for the car and for the blog and what not

haven't really done much recently, just hide wiring and save up for brakes... might be getting a z32 30mm conversion soon i almost have everything... the car at least interior wise is taking shape at last hopefully done in the next week...

added another sticker to the collection

dorkidori! great quality, it's the first thing i bought from they're line but i will order a few more stuff soon, happy with the quality and the designs...



just PERFECT, gray and everything just like my personal one, wish it had twin fence pipes like i plan on running when i finally get the downpipe/testpipe; And the kouki lights in the future...

at laaaaaastt got the mats i always dreamed about

the car might look like crap now but well that's what college does with your money... but at least ive been getting parts i've been searching around for years like the fence pipe exhaust that goes on soon and these badass things

thanks dmax!


if you're looking for a good set of mats i recommend these over any other in the american market right now, they fit perfect (trust me they look awesome with the carpet installed...)

another hood mod...

got tired of removing the hood to work on some engine stuff... always wanted a honda style hood, found out how to do it, here's the result
