My first Aero

While at Justins shop, I mentioned that I was putting together a drift FC and needed some cool Aero, particularly a front bumper and side skirts. Luck would have it that Justin was offering some for sale and would hook it up for me. The skirts will need some re-fiberglassing as well as primer. These will also have to be repainted white to match my paint. Also purchased was a turbo timer harness. So, in ending, a good price was offered and here's what I picked up :)

JTP's vert drift FC

Stopped by Justin Pawlaks shop to kick it and help with his rotary engine install. It was dope seeing his FC come together and hope that one day I can come back and maybe work on my car here. Pic time:

TEIN super drift coilover install : )

So, today was a busy day as usual. Got up this morning and headed over to Jaimes...AGAIN!!! Lol. I immediately get started on my FC and removing my TEIN flex type coilovers for delivery to my boy Brandon. His shop is called Integrated Performance and it's where I'll be going for a lot of my drifting parts. Well, here are the pics from todays install, check it out.







This is Brandons FC set up for time attack which donated the drift suspension to me.

All doneski....low low, just how I like it.

Be cool Ricardo....

I'm laying in my room @ 5am to the sounds of my roommate Ricardo gathering his final things for the move back home to Arizona.It's sad and I really hate goodbyes, he's like a brother who's moving on in life now. I'll try and keep it together and do my thing. I guess I'm used to it, coming from a split family is nothing new, it's just unsettling when you know it's gonna happen again. Anyhow, ricardo if your reading this...be easy mayng and good luck with your endeavours, it was fun while it lasted having you here.

This was my song back in 91....bomb music

Chillin with JTP

This past memorial day weekend, I had some free time so I decided to chill with my boy Jaime. We ended up heading to JTP's (Justin Pawlak) garage in Gardena CA. A little back history: I initially met Justin in 2006 shortly after he arrived in Los Angeles while running a shop in East LA called "BOSO". He was hella cool and even helped me with my 3rd FC which was non turbo and needed suspension installed. He wasnt sponsored at the time, but had the dopest setup FC in his classic green colour scheme. I knew then that he was someone I could learn from and one day follow. His craftsmanship, sense of style with FC's and how they should be assembled was inspiring.

On Monday, we hung out, checked out his latest projects and laughed it up a bit. I was told of mountain runs back home in detroit where he flew backwards 15 feet off a road, his basketball 3 point contest victory win against his high school's top point guard, how he blew 5 motors in one month over a faulty manifold during a season. Of all the things we discussed, most memorable was the advice he gave. He explained that as a driver coming up, he was told to keep it "Smooth". He referenced smooth style within skateboarding and how the same aspects apply to drifting. Keepin it smooth Justin, is my aim, and thanks to you, I remain focused on being an awesome driver.

U worry bout the wrong things...

Would love to use this song for some of my upcoming drifting footage....gets me in the mood for some good driving.
