Yokohama S Drives

Image
So I've been needing to replace my tires, I really didn't want to put new tires on the volks and would've rather put them on LXZ's but I need to build my subframe before doing that, and I also need to pick up my rebuilt turbo.  Tons of shit always comes up and I don't have the money to do what I want when I want. I was trying to stretch the Hankook RS3's out until the end of feb, but once the tread blocks got low the tires just seemed to waste away. The tires didn't handle bad in dry hot weather at this point, but that night it rained last week I ended up getting about 80 percent home without hydroplaning surprisingly, and then sure enough I hit one of those groves on the freeway that pulls you to the left or right and pretty much held a powerslide for about 300 feet.  this is where tread should be. The Yokohama S drives have a pretty crazy tread pattern, they also have a 300treadwear rating as opposed to the 140 the RS3s had. My search for...

Am I doin it right?

Picked up a set of expensive lug nuts and locks, doesn't look like they'll protrude too much out of the lug seats so I'm cool. Wish they had more color options but such is life, gotta protect your investment. Great pricing yet again thanks to Jack @ Jordaninnovations . I have all of my wheels shoved behind my television in my livingroom at the moment LOLZ, girlfriend is not happy about it. I need a bigger apartment. 

Stopped by my favorite place.

http://www.jordaninnovations.com/ Check out their new website, pretty neat shit. Actually impressed Jeff did this all himself. The social media integration as well is pretty impressive. I stopped by to help them test fit some "D-MAX" hood for s14's since they're non existent anymore. They have other makes and models as well!  JB and Jeff fucking with my hood pins, hopefully my lid doesn't come up and smash my window and cause my death.. Californiagasm. I fapped to the top rack of AD048's until I realized they were 17's Going to make another trip out tomorrow to drop some cheddar with the fellas and hopefully take care of a few other things. 

It's 2012, Happy New Year

I've spent so much money on my car in 2011, that really the only plans I have in 2012 for my car are as follows. - build secondary s14 subframe with all SPL equipment. - mount my kranze lxz's to the car. - replace leaking t25 turbocharger (by actually picking up my rebuilt t25 from mario at grperformance) - rebuild spare sr20det motorset and keep it on standby until my daily motorset finally goes - get the a/c and heat working with the digital climate control - give death to the smj plug with a full harness replacement with raychem sleeving and bulk head connectors. - spark plugs, 2012 amsoil oil change, fuel filter replacement. - Paint and install my 6666 customs trunk wing, and garage-s hood (for looks) - repaint and repair all aero and make some pretty trick mud guards for the car so the paint doesn't chip like that again. - clear bra repainted aero. - maybe get all new or 97/98 hvac equipment under the dash - and a HUGE maybe is to replace my cracked dashbo...
