MW 911

These body styles are growing on me, I like old cars...PORSCHE x MAZDA.

My Magnus Moment

I watched this mans mini-doc on a website last night while chillin in my lab, quite possibly one of the most awesome videos I've seen in quite some time. Magnus Walker, you are badass and have definitely added "bonus" fuel (pun intended) to my burning Mazda RX7 passion. I respect you as a Porsche purist and am pleased to know you smash the streets of DTLA/Los Angeles ANYTIME your heart desires.

Below is the bio on his blog (found here), I'll post "the" video some other time:

"My love affair with PORSCHE began as a 10 year old kid, and a trip to the 1977 LONDON motor show.

That is where I laid my eyes upon a 77-930 Martini TURBO!
As a kid growing up in SHEFFIELD-ENGLAND Porches were not a common sight. Sure I had the TURBO poster on my wall, lusted after one, and even wrote a letter to the Porsche factory!

Hey... They even wrote back!
Saying words to the affect "give us a call back when you are older".

Fast forward a few years, and in 1986 at the age of 19 I moved to
America and started a new life in LOS ANGELES..

At the age of 25 in 1992 I acquired my first 911,
now almost 20 years later and over 40 -911 cars later I am living my PORSCHE dream.

I have done some club racing and instructing with the POC throughout the past 10 years.
Over the past few years I have been expanding my 64-73 early car collection and have been building quite a few "sports purpose" R -ST inspired streetable track type cars.

My builds are starting to gain world wide attention,
and a few unique touches such as my grafted R turn signals, louvered deck lids, drilled door handles and attention to detail to name a few are becoming my "signature marks".

This blog is a slight peak into my daily life

THANKS FOR FOR FOLLOWING ALONG!!

CHEERS,

Magnus"

You my boy Rico

This reminds me of me and my boy Ricardo from back in our Torrance days as roommates. He was always guiding me and my lack of technical mechanic skills. This also happens to be one of my favorite Anime books/show called "Wangan Midnight"

Does this look like an FC? Think the illustrator had a miata moment and forgot to add the additional lenses.

Couple Years Back...

Saw this recently, brought me back to when I lived in Torrance. Such a cool vibe out there with a dope automotive scene. A lot of aftermarket parts spots there too. This pic was when I really settled in with the overall look of the FC, this second time around will be the phase 2. Can't wait to share it with y'all. Peep my game face in this pic, haha! Circa 2009

Streetwear...

I thought I'd lay back a little on the FC3S posts and reflect a bit on what I do as a daily grind. I'll say that in my years since leaving High School, I've maintained a consistent drive to earn a living. Never settling and always wanting more in life. With this being my approach, I'll  humbly say that I've had my fair share of shitty jobs along w/brainless co-workers who I feel should not exist. To my orginal point, I want to take the time and say that I am grateful for my position and where I am in life. I've been blessed with the opportunity to work within Streetwear fashion for an amazing tradeshow business. Again, super thankful for the chance to not only do something different, but be part of a culture which is creative, inventive, independent minded and always on the cutting edge. Thank you Lord (and the mystical forces which exist) for allowing me the chance to earn a living comfortably and fund my never ending Mazda passion.

The Hunt for GT35R...

For those not in the know, GT35R is the turbo needed for my motor. Its size and boost characteristics are exactly what will take my engine to the next level. Seriously, I'm trying smash on dudes very soon. Been browsing internet forums and networking amongst my Rotary community, I'm in full Turbo Hunter mode. I'll keep ya'll posted on my progress. #blessed

Up-dizzate...

What a month October has been, slight financial freedom, stress from trying to put this FC back together, and money mngmt anxiety. Got some new parts again, just need to install them. Story of my life.

This was cool, fuel rail upgrade kit (for FCs only) from Rising
