Going home from work

Kinda boring but I wanted to test my new camera mount on the way home from work.

The boys are finally back

My peoples in AZ have buttoned up the second versions of all the cars and are putting together more videos. Raymonds LXZ's are just setting my ass on fire like John Denver. Exciting times, maybe I can get some video from the NW up in them shits.
*Cough* *Ressa* *Cough* Looking at you!

Night Terrors (Team Top Flight, AZ) 2011 from Team TopFlight on Vimeo.

ProAM, USA.

I have been a slut about posting. I have taken on a new position at work so it has been my personal life basically does not happen.

Back on topic. This guy Mike Burns is probably my favorite pro am driver in the U.S. his style of driving is aggressive and not in the way every one says, he actually drives hard like Forest Wang and such. His cars style screams Japan and I am a big fat Japan teamburst fan boy so I love it.

I was at the street spot in AZ when he bought this pinkish car, he picked it up off the guy with quite a few goodies on it already so he had a head start on the next seasons build I believe is what I heard. But the first turn he broke the drive train. I guess the guy he bought it from built it with nice stuff but never drove it hard, it was mainly a "Show" car. Anyways, cops came and it was funny in a sick way cause the cops didnt arrest anyone but they made him push his car off the warehouse property while driving slowly behind him while he pushed. Nice guys.

This is a video about his last season, which I think he won his pro license, if so I predict he blows up the scene like Walker did. If he can make it to all the events.

I know this guy.

Simply internet bragging that I know the human that squeaked this hot one out.

The photoG, I do not. But I would like to use and abuse him as Danny did. His name is Sid Titus I believe the flickr page says.

Classic

I had never seen an exterior shot of this lovely incar "Ueo Style" video.




This is the original incar video.



I did find this at Tekno's blog.

Another RC car drift video

The corolla in the beginning is what my goal is for my car pretty much, but thats not why I post this. I don't have much knowledge when it comes to this stuff but I have never seen the drivers head that turns and points in the direction that you drift... The interiors are just nuts. I can dig that.

In car following Burst in i5 traffic

This traffic is like downtown Seattle at pretty much any time during the week. Possibly my hero's. I have never seen incar footage of Meihan when they hot lap with 300 cars. This made me happy.

PGP 5/10/11

This was the North West ASB,I took some photos and pretty much struggled the whole time. Out of about 700 photos I came out with only a handful of halfway decent looking pictures, and even those im not happy with.

It was super sunny and it was my first time shooting in full manual mode and I got my ass handed to me. I dont really edit anything. Just turn the brightness down and I might play with the contrast on some. This is pretty much what I got out of the whole event, pretty shitttaaayy.

I did get some video, so I will upload that as well. RAW clips only ;x





This BMW has some of the best entry's.






Maybe my favorite picture just because im a big fat japan fan boy.

Fine tuning

I think I have my ride height figured out. I would like to go lower all around but until I get smaller tires in the back I need to stay at this. The front does not rub anymore also which is lovely

Ninja

Someone snapped these pics of the 86. So I am filling space and showing them.

Not Normal

I don't usually post stuff like this, but I am obviously a reverse banana and this little Asian battle is pure rape. Especially if you are a gaming nerd like myself.

To the left

This little gathering was a couple months ago and I just found this picture floating around on the net. I think its the best one of my cressida so far.

Regrets

I picked up some flares. I really liked how the corolla was looking with the 10j's up front. But after actually going out and seeing how it drives. It is just not possible.

I am not a huge fan of flares but these were 100 bucks and if I wanted to go overs I would have to cut the guards anyways.

Basically I mocked them up, thought they looked decent. Fully installed them and absolutely hate it. I pretty much think it looks retarded. If I put them on the front my 14x9s are so sunk it just looks horrible. Soooo I either get custom lca's and spacers or another pair of wheels and lca's. But for a bit at least I am going to be hating the looks of this thing..

Pictures. I also put on some side skirts.



More cutting.







I think the term I am looking for is I had it all...



So dumb.

Garage Autohero and new tires

I recently visited autohero. Ray is the only person I have come across that will mount my tires, so in a way he saves me every 2 months.

Someone messaged me and wanted to know how we mounted the 185/60 on the 10j's so I took this little video.



Then I snapped some pictures around the shop this shop has gotten pretty popular on the net so I thought this was kinda cool, even though 30 other people have done it. I made them black and white for no reason really. Just thought they looked cooler. All of these were taken with my 18-55 kit lens so they are pretty rugged.

When you arrive, it is just a Garage door with a small sticker on it. But their is always a collection of something cool outside.

Stepping inside you are bound to find Ray under something. This week was especially busy because of Formula D being in town.

Stepping inside you see this supra that has been in his garage forever. It has the best 2001 Nopi/Hot Import Nights feel to it. At least to me it does. I wouldn't build it that way but it looks the part. Respek. Also this young buck Danny is having a ton of motor work done to his s14. I usually run into him when I stop in, cool dude for sure. We will trade stickers and make some sort of treaty one day.





This SR'd corolla has been in his shop for years as well. I want the overs that are on it, yes I do.





Ray somewhat recently moved into this spot. It has more room than his last place which was one garage bay over...

This is the added area.





This is a shot of the front brakes on the supra. They look like baby crushers... Something that some might think is cool is the car I am looking threw is a pretty poplar car.



It is actually this guys car.



Which turned to this.



So now it is painted with different overs and some new styles.




Finish it out with this cool thing.

Top Flight and away.

It has been known in very rare cases America builds a car that actually is on the level of a Japanese style car. Usually we come close but we will just lack on fine touches.

My friend Raymond decided to put him name on that list. Fresh out of paint. He is sporting a nice s14 SR mildly built and all the right goodies. I am sure the internet will blow up once he actually post's pictures.





That's him creepin like a caterpillar in the back.

I have been dead

Lack of updates is poo poo. I have not been able to make it to any events or work on any of the cars. But that gets to change for the next little while. I will have a couple updates soon.

I love this.

Not Car related. Seattle

Was walking around Seattle with the inlaws while they were in town. I took some photos and thought some people might think some of the stuff around Seattle looks cool. Most people that visit this blog are from out of the country so here ya go.














The tripod came in handy for this little number. My brother inlaw and his lady on the left, my lady and I in the middle and my inlaws on the right at this really cool park outside of the city.

Dosn't matter if you are black or white.

Couple shots from old PGP events. Gave them the old black and white treatment. I thought they looked cool.
