Fresh Steering

When it comes to my car, i generally avoid replacing any parts as long as i can. With good reason.
Today was a complete fuckaround.

Recently my steering rack has gotten to the point of being so worn out that it gets stuck as i turn, so today i decided to replace the rack, the rack ends, and the tie rod ends.

Despite it taking forever and using pretty much all of the cash in my wallet, the result feels great. The car is so nimble now, it feels as though it has just been given power steering!

Midday Mechanics

Yesterday we all got together to help Jase pull apart his 4agze. The motor has been having a few problems lately so we pulled the head off to get it cleaned up and the valve stem seals replaced.

Being fashionably late, i got there just in time to see most of the motor apart already. However we needed my 10mm double hex socket to get the head bolts out, so the head couldn't come off untill i turned up with that.

Anyway, once i turned up i got some quick shots of the work in progress.

I'm sure those extractors were state of the art in like 1985...

Daily Skid

This is a very poor photo (sorry Jase) of my silvia, but i just thought it would be cool to show what photos i have of me sliding my daily S13 at archy the other day.

I still cannot get over how easy these things are to slide. I love my corolla and don't wish to ever sell it, but far out just building an s13 would make things damn easy.



Random Archy Track Day

Well yesterday afternoon was very interesting.
With very little going on in my afternoon, after a quick chat with Jase on facebook (another mate of mine with a type x 180sx) i decided to head up with him to archerfield to watch some drifting.

Here's some shots from the arvo

Buckna brought this tidy little dato in to carry the tires for his rb25 s14 monstor, i'm quite a fan.



I <3 outrun too, I also <3 my 50mm f/1.8!























This was the first time i saw Paul Dean's new livery on his S13, it looks fantastic!


Here's me in the passanger seat of Buckna's black monstor S14.
This man can steer, i was very impressed with his driving and the car's power!
Thanks to Jase for the picture!


I also happened to get my s13 on the track for three laps. Its just silly how easily these things drift. Will have some pics from Jase soon hopefully.

Oh also, A special mention to the old guy at Archy that was trying to kick me out, as i was leaving, for taking off my shoes in the pits just before getting in my car...

Touge Heroes Dvd Meet

A couple of nights back myself and a few select car owners met up in order to be a part of the production of the Touge Heroes Dvd.

The usual variety at any given track is anything from standard with a set of wheels to full blown competition cars. It was great, in this case, to see only see cars that have been purpose built and appropriately styled.



 The participation involved all of the cars being filmed while leaving the carpark, and then after proceeding to the nearest highway onramp, filmed again as we entered the highway.

A notable mention to Ben in his purple R32 and its pure sexuality, me being the one behind him as we merged onto the highway. I will drive with that man any day lol.
