Z things

what a pain in the dick

Oh, the taste of uncertainty.

I bought the god damned thing like almost 2 weeks ago but the reality of it didn't hit me until I put it in my drive way. There's so much work to be done to this thing, especially the way I want it, that it's a bit overwhelming. I'm not the kid I used to be when I spent an entire summer rummaging through the s12 and getting shit done.

So the other day, Yuta and I borrowed my uncle's truck, rented a uhaul trailer and spent forever driving up there and back to get the shell. Driving a gigantic truck with a trailer is a little scary man, but we managed.













As far as the shell goes, I may have jumped the gun on this one. I was really stoked on how clean the shell was but man, after taking a closer look (I should have probably done this earlier, hahaha) it's gonna be so much work. I don't think the previous owner really knew what he was doing, quite at all, and his taste in color didn't exactly ring any bells either.

He seems to have lost a ton of shit, or so he claims, interior is all gone, didn't even know where the bag of bolts were to give me, failed to include info on the fucked up driver side fender until I got there, painted the engine bay shrek green (didn't mask anything off) AND spray painted the panda scheme on a perfectly OEM white chassis without masking carefully to boot. He didn't even finish the god damn job.

And what the hell was my excuse for buying all this bull shit? That it's a "clean chassis." Jesus man, what was I thinking?
















Yuta: initial midnight


I want to build a more street friendly car so that's going to include full interior and new carpet. Hopefully I can get the heater and some tunes working too. I plan on swapping over the s13 suspension and KA and whatever bits I can, HOWEVER, instead of taking the bits I want from the s12 and swapping over, Yuta thinks it might be a better idea to try to sell the s12 as a full car without the wheels since it runs. If I can get 5-6k for the car then I'd sell, but if around 3k then I'd just take what I need and part out as planned. Thoughts? Advice?

!!!!!Also, please hit me up if you have or know anyone with corolla parts such as interior and yada yada yada!!!!!

JCCS 2010

Man, it was so incredibly tiring. For simplicity sake...Friday night, I watched Bio-dome(1996) with Matt9000 and got 2 hours of sleep before we left for socal. Just hung out and shot the shit with a bunch of cool kids on Saturday, ended the night drinking a sidewalk slammer (40oz, drink half the beer, pour your choice of 4loko in and mix, finish 4 loko) and spent a few hours in a hot tub only to sleep for 1 hour before going to JCCS on Sunday.

Then, spent all day in the sun and got a GNARLY neck and farmers tan. Slightly sun burned, but I had a really cool time meeting and hanging out with everyone! Went for some crazy Orange Juice with Antonio afterward, korean BBQ, and then drove all the way back home on an hour of sleep and 5 hr energy. 3 hours of sleep the whole weekend and got home at 6am on Monday.

Oh, youth.

More pictures whenever

Just another fire building thread

Hung out at Yuta's today and just before I was about to leave, we decided to make use of that fireplace he has. SUP. YOU MISSED OUT BY ONE DAY HUNG AND ALAN!















classy


And right as the fire started going crazy, what we had thought to be just paint turned out to be INCREDIBLY FLAMMABLE CARB CLEANER, scary.


man, this is a pretty homo post hahaha

And now we're back in norcal

YUP, we went to go pick up a set of varrstoen wheels and aero for yuta's sc. Also picked up 2 other sets of varrstoens, a pair of real te37's for bryon's fc and a pair of fn's for scott's sc. Fun trip but doing all this in a single day wasn't the bee's knees. THANKS HUNG! for letting us crash at your place

Main two tracks of the trip were Miley Cyrus's PARTY IN THE USA and The Outfield - your love.

Anyone recognize my shirt?

fatboy garage let us use this plastic rope thing to tie the wheels to the roof, super saved us in the end
