Cars been down since Saturday

Image
Thursday right before driving up to Wekfest, I take my car up the street to my favorite burger joint Pharos  and when I went to leave I tried to turn my car on and I got "click" and power died. And instantly I got power again but my clock reset and turbo timer died, almost like I removed the negative cable.  Driving up to northern california I got some arching in the car but I couldn't find anywhere on the car where a wire was rubbing, crossing, grounding, I've secured the shit out of all of my wiring in the cabin and have it zip tied down. It's super tight in there. I was going to head over to California Speedway on Saturday and visit my parents in Fontana and as soon as I took my car out of it's parking space it just died.  Disappointed and having no desire to deal with it I just pushed the car back into it's parking spot and played Marvel vs Capcom 3 on Xbox the rest of the day. Add me if you want to get down Gamertag : o137o Turns out 1 of 2 proble...

Writing out mod list for my car.

gosh, I have done a lot of shit to this car.

I think it's time to clear the air on Fatlace

What is Beef? What is my Beef? most importantly Where's the beef? A lot of people that know me personally know that I dislike Fatlace, illest, Hella Flush, and all of that nonsense associated with it. Not necessarily for their company, their products, or anything personal with their staff. So Wayne to make this clear You don't have a beef with Mark You don't have beef with his staff You don't hate their clothes Then you're probably wondering, what's the problem? How can you dislike/hate Fatlace without dislike or hating anything in relation to Fatlace.  I guess to be honest I don't really have a problem with "Fatlace" in itself, to be more to the point I dislike the bandwagon and the people in the automotive scene who just throw shit on their car to belong to a crowd. Back in the day I was all about car crews, street racing, and doing dumb shit. Now I'm older, grumpy, and still building cars. Some people have an internet personalit...

Wekfest 3

I didn't take a lot of pictures, I drove up friday and it was a little rough on the s14. Started to get some arcing on my charge wire. Guess I should probably get that sorted out, after a few pit stops to inspect the wiring it seems an area where I cannot see the main power wire was rubbing against an exposed part of the chassis. Luckily I didn't blow any fuses as I still haven't gotten a set of spares after putting my actual spares in the junction box. I'll have to make a new one, it's just that simple. I stayed in Pleasanton, CA at the Larkspur Landing it was like 89 bucks a night 2 beds 2 rooms, an office, a fridge, pretty damned legit for 89 bucks a night. Plus my car was parked right outside of my hotel room so I wasn't too worried about anyone coming to snatch it, but seriously I didn't see any other imports in this town. So thanks Weksos James for the advice on this neat little spot. I love the fact that it had a smash room, so funny hahaha...

9*K Racing Photoshoot

I will post a link to the official official when that all goes up, got some shots in by Motormavens and OMGDRIFT today. One of the models Kendra Jordan was really nice, she modeled on my car first in this like flowy dress that kinda shows mad side boob and inner boob. I love those dresses lets you see pretty much everything. But this blogs about my car not about being a pervert. Sure enough the wind picked up and we got a nice fully... She told me she modeled for playboy before so I figure hey it's a titty no big deal. Oh classical art training how you have desensitized my inner pervert. But all jokes aside she was cool peoples. This guy was cool, forgot his name. climbed on all this shit to take a piss, and in front of a cop. Then motormavens dude rives to shoot location, zero's in on his cock on accident. HAHA The second model was all about her B.I, B.I she was nice but no small talk at all *can I lean on your car* when she was done pretty much punked Fishbein and wa...

2011 maintenance for that drive up to Sacramento.

To be quite honest, I don't even think I'm going to wax my car for wekfest. I ain't trying to win no trophy and my shits going to get all dirty when driving up there anyway. But there were a few things that were bothering me about my car that needed attending. The low pressure fuel return line had seen better days, plus I had some jimmy rig adapter thing going on with a busted ass old hose that I've just been lagging to replace. And it's been a while since I changed my oil. It's been about 5440+ miles of street driving since I changed it last. My car doesn't burn oil but I did put about 7500+ miles on that high mileage fram filter. Surprisingly the magnet on the drain plug had no shavings so thumbs up to you mobil1 10-30 for holding it down. Even though you make my car sound like a run down KA *jerk off motion* Told double J over at Jordan Innovations that I needed to do an oil change and he suggested I do amsoil so I'm going to give it a go. ...
