So out of boredom last night I went out and shot Samir's newest chariot.
His "dream car" so to speak , A 1988 Nissan Maxima SE.

We found it up in our local touge roads parked in someone's yard. Note was left, Money was handed over, end of story.


So here it is, completely unedited and untouched.















































We <3 Rectangles.

Summertime.

Yea yea yeaaa.

Few Jagerbombs, few beers later I'm feeling nice

So here's to a good blog entry, Im just going to type what ever comes to mind, not correcting or editing anything


Recently, Ive found the best thing to ever happen to me.
My gf. Shes 100% awesome, no frills.
Down to earth, talks about a lucky sob. I hit the lottery, literally a needle in a haystack.

SOMEONE BUY THIS BARGE !.


Yea.. FML with all these fucking projects.

Im trying to sell all the excess parts ill never use.
Z33 transmission is on the top of that list

I want to move to LA still in the future, I dont know exactly when that is going to be though.
Heading back there next month to see TORC and take in all the sights and sounds :D
Cant wait to see beautiful PCH and visit the beach.

Im enjoying work, I cant complain, good people, good atmosphere what more do I want?

I have a giant list of tools that I want, Keyword, WANT not NEED.

I need to get the fuck out of NY asap. This place is killing me slowly
Oh well. FUCK IT, I cant leave yet

Randomness of my mind always shows when im drinking

I need to start cutting back on my drinking... : shrugs :

I need to loose weight asap, I feel like the michelin man.

There are few things that " grind my gears ", one of them are people without common sense and another FYI is I hate people who cannot spell.

my friend might make me best man for his wedding, Idk if im up to the par of taking on the responsibility, he has like 3 brothers LOL.

Part of me kinda wants thai food right now,
Massaman curry with jasmine rice & maybe just for randomness a Kani salad.

Heres a picture thats been having me gawking for the past few days.

Which leads to the ultimate question.

JUBIRIDE vs URAS

I waaaanted to build a Jubirde coupe since I was 15, BUT not the Uras is much more appealing since im not going with flares, just straight rolled fenders and mick jagger lips.

hmm and on that note, im going to sleep on this.


Stay Classy NYC. Stay classy..

Here's to falcon punching mother nature.

Such a cruel bitch.

I swear to god if she was a physical being, I would have already done this by now and then elbowed her in the head. Atleast my girlfriend finds it funny that I hate this weather with a passion & thinks it's not L.A. for a reason.

It is February 5th, and there's approx 4 feet of snow still in my yard.
I cannot see my Sc400, as it is completely iced in, the Corolla is surrounded by a 3foot section of snow, and the Cressida... It is going to be a mission to get to where it is to attempt pulling the harness out so I can simplify it.

With all this fucking snow, the garage is currently occupied by snow removal equipment and the motor for my truck.

So far it is a 5cyl 3VZE. The #6 Piston/rod setup is patiently waiting to go in.
To add insult to injury, The Celica took a shit on me today,

I haven't driven the car in a week since I didn't feel like paying a snow plow to make a path for me to and from work.
So...the roads have finally cleared up enough for me to get the car out and drive it around and run my errands.
Driving it home last night, the alternator locks up & the voltage regulator seems to be fried as the car comes to a slow halt on the Grand Central Parkway.


The death toll for project Daily awesome...
1. Neg. Lead for the battery that melted.
1. Battery, as it seems its on its way out.
1. Alternator.
1. Agitated owner, who is tired of this weather.

Well, Tomorrow is another day & I should be able to get an reman unit locally.
Maybe if i'm lucky enough I can install the fog lamps that have been sitting on the backseat for a little while now.

I must say.. even though many beg to differ, I do like the way the Celica looks even though it is not currently running lol.
I put on my Yakima roof rack & threw on some 30mm spacers I had laying around the garage on the stock steelies. The Starsharks are on my snowmobile corolla currently.



I adore it.























So yea, if I have not relayed enough about how much I hate this weather... let me fill you in a little on why I am so ticked off.

I work outside 8 hours a day, doesn't matter weather conditions
The MX63 project is on hold cause of this shit storm
The 4runner motor is on hold cause of this also
The JZX73 is on hold till it clears up
I haven't been able to start my Corolla up in a 6 weeks,
the Sc4 has not been driven since mid December
& The Celica's alternator took a shit since it got flooded with snow & rain from driving through this mess.

ugh... California cannot come sooner.
And on a side note...































Spring awaits sheer awesomeness :D...

Updates ... Upgrades..

Well, since my truck is still down due to SK Speed taking forever with the machining of the parts for my motor, the Celica is still my daily driver.

Project Daily Awesome.

If I haven't introduced you to the car, here it is.

1984 Celica GT
Gold with a brown interior.
60K miles.

Runs decent, its has a misfire & the heat sucks balls.

So far the Celica has been good to me
It has a new water pump. ( 3 month long fiasco due to my complete retardation)
85 Cressida Technics radio & Pioneer Rear speakers


And today it gets a lighting upgrade.

Since this car was built in the 80s the lighting sucks, by that I really mean its atrocious.
In certain conditions, you cant see shit at night & my poor night vision doesnt help anything either.

I had some H4 bulbs made by Philips. They're the Motovision models , if you couldn't guess...
They're for motorcycles, with a pretty unique beam pattern.
I had these in the Corolla before I upgraded to HIDS & I loved them











By accident I found some H4 housings on craigslist a week ago
Fluted dlass lens, some guy brought them back from japan a while ago and had been sitting on them.

$25 managed to put them into my hands.

Next up for lighting will be some Fog lamps.
Not for the fog in NY , but more to look cool :D lol

Im installing them as we speak & cannot wait for tonight to test these out.
