Forever Simone

Went and got my ass kicked at crossfit this morning, came home to finally wash my car after a few weeks of rain and the car looking like shit. Jeez I need to wax this thing bad, the wax that was on here before looks like it's completely gone. So I'll most likely give it a carnuba rub down on Saturday.  Finally decided to assemble my A/N hoses today, have some -8's for my hybrid valve cover that I've had in storage for a while since I had the fittings welded on by Luis Gonzalez. It wasn't too hard to get the hose together, didn't realize that I didn't order another 90 degree -8 drainback. So if I have some cash to spare I'll probably do that, still can't use the valve cover. I'm missing the large PVC grommet on the intake side of the valve cover. It was damaged taking it out.  I can't wait to take out that redtop cover, lol the red on it is all fucked up because I had to spray it down with brake cleaner, it was sitting in a backyard f...

When I wired up my engine harness for my car a few years ago I wanted to try a wire tuck for myself. Sure I could've bought some shelf made harness from someone and remained ignorant about my own car. Or I could dive head first into the wiring of the car and get a better understanding of what does what. During that period I've had problems with the major 3 - tps (ground wire in shielded wire was contacting signal exposed signal wire.) - knock sensor ( http://vimeo.com/5195325 ) - maf sensor ( http://vimeo.com/4795047 ) I've learned the various symptoms of not having these three items work and enjoyed the benefits of figuring it out and getting them to work again. When working on my clutch the other day I noticed that my maf wiring was resting on my downpipe. To better illustrate why this is bad, see below. to give you an idea, you wouldn't want a wire that helps run your car sitting on hot red metal. Now it may be a slight exaggeration because I don't ...

Headed over to Jordan Innovations today to test fit the LXZ's and figure out tires, and most of all pay for the wheels lol. Jeff was kind enough to take us out to lunch over at Quickly  I got the  Mongolian beef, Jeff and Jack ordered 2 heaps of orange chicken and the special chow mein. I ate a few forkfuls of that rice, felt bad wasting it. And they made the intern pay LOL ice cold. John (JB) is a cool kid! He helped me out when I was at the shop doing my clutch swap.  DAT MSG!!!  The biggest fear I had was the fronts were going to be too agressive to clear the Willwood front brake. The good news is the 18x10 -3 has just a few mm of clearance. and spins freely, no hub-centric adapters were necessary as they slid right on in the front and rear no problem.  checking brake clearance right where that ridge is on the back of the lip is where the clearance gets super tight. gonna lower it to find out where we're at with poke(pork) ...

A lucky individual has a set of Kranze LXZ 18 X 10 / 18 X 11 Silver Polish heading their way! :) Posted on  https://www.facebook.com/pages/WEDS-Wheels/186014748080015

Courtesy of my buddy Jacks cell phone, my new wheels have arrived. And they come with a sweet black t-shirt. Because we all know we need more black t shirts in hot ass California lol. Probably won't put them on the car until the end of November or even December.

It takes people for fucking ever to post pictures from event's apparently there is some secret art to loading a picture in photoshop and playing with the levels to compensate for the lack of skill with their camera's. Load it up, auto tone, auto contrast, save. Listen to me and you probably won't have a job in photography anymore. My buddy whom I've not formally met Robert Chan over at  http://strictlybidness.net/  hooked it up with this photo stock from the event. Super legit photos as always Robert!  This was a joke of a show, but what car show isn't a joke these days I'm not talking in a sense of venue or the staff or anything like that. But we basically were in a shit corner of the venue in sardine can formation, I think Yog's himself said sardine car show. I personally don't give a shit I just didn't want to park my car outside in the lot hence why I paid for a spot in the show.  I was sleepy as shit, and was bumming around...

In 2009 when I took it upon myself to relocate my engine bay fusebox to the passenger side airbag area of my car. My electrical experience was in building pc's, I'm not the guy who knows how a circuit works, how a relay functions, or how many ohmz, volts, or amps is traveling through a wire and what size wire is needed to accomodate that flow of energy. 2009 relocation of fusebox and panel, relays located on the underside. And I suspect many of you are in the same boat. Obviously there was a better way to approach this but again now I have more knowledge of electrical after troubleshooting all of the mishaps, but because I have a good friend who started his own business doing this stuff for a living and he has an electrical engineering background doing wire harnesses for helicopters in the military. I leave changes and suggestions up to him. I eventually started to have some issues such ass my battery wasn't charging (battery relocated to the trunk of the ca...
