Safety first.

This broke while coming out of the sweeper at ESN. Thanks to NSP for letting me borrow a wheel off their show car. And to Chad for letting me use his extra Momo wheel until I can get a new one.
Note to self: Stop buying cheap shit!

UnF-ck The Gulf

BP’s oil spill has really f–ked up the gulf. Birds, fish, dolphins & sea turtles are f–ked. Whole communities are f–ked. Together we can hold big oil accountable. Together we can unf–k the Gulf.

Cody Wellons’ S13 For Sale in Atlanta

Cody is looking to sell or trade his S13 hatch and move on to a new project. I’d really like to trade for a 1J/2J swapped SC300 with a manual transmission, although I may be interested in other RWD cars as well (350Z, GS300, etc).

Test fit of Centerlines

Posted 13 Apr 2009 in The Machine

I picked up a set of Centerline wheels from Andy, who gave me a great deal!! Thank you Andy. Well, I was finally able to pick them up last weekend when I went to Atlanta for the Fast & Furious 4 premier (more on that later). I’d also like to tip my hat to Keiren at GTE for the tires! That guy has supported the Atlanta scene from day one and he continues to do so to this day.

So, here they are. 15×8 with a 0 offset. Must better stance than the “Baby Supra” wheels even with the 7mm spacers I was running with them.

As you can see above, the vinyl wrap I did a while back is starting to show some wear. I think its time to rip it off and paint the car up right; even if that means a cheapo MAACO job.

These are the only lug nuts I had which work well with the Baby Supra wheels, but not the Centerlines. Thankfully, Andy has the set of lugs he was using on his 86, so I don’t have to go buy any.

They’re only 15s but look massive!

I don’t consider this “flush” but its getting there.

These are all the stickers I had lying in the rear hatch that got soaked from the recent rain. Hopefully I can salvage a few.

I told you the hood was faded and look like shit.
