Spring is in the air.

Yeh, been a while since the last update.
Thought i'd post something to keep this thing alive. Havent been doing much lately, except for the usual routine. Booked my vacation, going to Luxembourg with Noud and Tom for a week. Going to be same thing as last year, trying to drive as much as possible.

Also, other news. The Wangan Warriors site is coming together. Go check it out; http://www.wanganwarriors.com/ . Also, check out the forums.
Rob is doing a great job on the site :), still isnt finished yet, but its looking good already.

As it was really nice weather, i washed my car today. After that went for a drive, did some filming. I got some pretty ok shots, which im editing at this moment. Will post that when its finished.

Ciao, Bye, Sayonara!

Oh Snap!

Its time for a little update :). Ive been wanting to get a 4pt. harness for quite some time now.
Since im not realy big or anything, i get thrown around the car a lot, mostly during hard cornering. Those days are over, oh yeah!

I drove to FullCarTuning last saturday, picked up a QSP 4pt. harness, and a D2 Quickrelease for my Nardi Deepcorn. Went straight to work afterwards, installed both in the car, and then drove home.

Man, what an improvement. I really cant move out of my seat anymore :). The steeringwheel is also a bit closer now, and even though i can barely reach the indicator, i wouldnt want to have it any other way.

So on sunday i went for a little cruise. After i got home i set about fixing the following problem:

My horn button. While it didnt quite fit inside the GDL hub, it definately didnt fit in the D2 quickrelease. So, i had to customize it a bit. And it works now, yay!

Thats it for now :). Peace!

New Video

Yay, i made another video :).
So last week, Noud, Tom and I went out to shoot some footage/pics of their cars. After a lot of fiddling to get the editing program to work properly, i finally set about editing the footage.


Anyways, it was a fun night. And afterwards, my rightarm was kind of sore, cause i was hanging out of the window for a long time :P. After we'd spent about an hour right next to the prison wall, and where just about to leave, the cops showed up. All suited up in bulletproof vests, they asked us kindly to leave. So we did :P.

Anyways, as i didnt have a whole lot of footage to edit, the film is rather short. Thats all because i forgot to recharge both (!) camera batteries, and only had about 40 minutes of battery life left.
Better luck next time.

On another note, Wangan Warriors is growing :). Noud and I decided it was time to finally do something with it, so we got a few new members. A website is in the works, and its all looking nice :). Hopefully more on that soon.

Bought a new keyboard today, cause i messed my old one up with a glass of coke.
Gotto take the new one back to the shop tho, cause the O is semi-fucked, and the N doesnt feel right either. Bollocks :(

Thats it for today, gonna mess around some more in Vegas, so my next vid will be even better.

Peace!

Street Spirit!

So here are the pics from last weekend.
First, the photoshoot on saturdayeve.Pics from the meet on sunday:

SXOC had a nice turn-up :). Always good to see some sx's :D.

R32 GTR, still one of my favourite cars around.

Sick RS13 on 15" Work Meisters :)

Freshly imported EK9. See, stock can be nice :).

On the way back home.

Thats it for now! Peace!

OMG, Problems?

So, last week, my car started acting up. Final stretch home, while going over the speedbumps, my CEL light came on, and the car started running a bit weird :(. Turned the car off, started it again, and it ran normal without any CEL. Weird stuff. So yeh, that was friday.

On saturday Noud and Rens arrived. Went and did a little photoshoot in the evening. Car held up pretty good, missing a few beats tho :(. No lights coming on, so that was better.

Went to a meet on sunday with Noud and Rens. Was pretty cool, sun was shining, and a lot of cool cars there :). Im getting the pics sent to me as i type this, so might update later today with some pics :). While driving to the meet, the CEL light came on again, damnit. Dont know what it is, but it dissapears as soon as i turn the car off, and on again.

On the way back home, i didnt have any problems. We did get a speedingticket tho -_-. Just arrived, a whopping 20 euros! I know, im a criminal, and should be ashamed of myself.

Last week was pretty normal, nothing special happened. Yesterday at work, this guy with an Autobianchi A112 abarth came in to have his wheels balanced. Pretty cool car to see. The guy (somwhere between his 50's and 60's) pulled away with a burnout :).

Also, i need to get myself a new phone. A phone that can take some proper pictures, cause this piece of crap is worthless :(.

Anyways, i will post some pics of the meet, and photoshoot as soon as i got em all.

Flashback!

Man, time goes by so fricking fast.
Its been like 2 years since i last drove my 200sx. I miss that car.

Fun to drive, but a whole lot of trouble to keep it like that. I decided to get rid of it, cause it kept on breaking down on me :(. Turbogaskets where blown to shreds, replaced them (a days work!), and a week later, my turbo blew -_-. Sourced a new turbo, also replaced the headgasket, because i had an oilleak. Removed the cilinderhead, and i found a big crack in the block :(. Tried to save it by filling it up with some putty, but it didnt help. Drove it for a few km's after that, starting smoking again, it was done :(. Sold it to the breakers.

Maybe in the future, there will be place for another rearwheel driven japanese beast.

For now its all economic understeer, baby!

(still able to pwn some sx's in the twisty bits tho ^^)

Pictures, finally.

Finally, ive got pictures of the Bomex wing :). Last weekend, me and Noud went out to shoot some pics, but in the rush i forgot to put them on my usb stick. So i switched sticks with Noud.

Fridaynight, he and his cousin Tommie arrived at my place. Woke up at 11, went to my work, and put Tommie's civic a few inches closer to the ground. Dont have any pics of that, all i can tell is that it looks nice :). He chose to buy the same set i have (Koni 1130).
.
Anyways, im loving the wing, looks good i reckon, even though my paintjob isnt
perfect -_-. On to the pics!
Now im just waiting for some better weather, so i can get my sideskirts off, and
paint them.
Pic of my headliner, needs to be redone, sucky glue -_-.

Cruisin in the civic :).


Tommie rockin' the Wangan Warriors sticker :).

So, whats next? In 2 weeks there is a big meeting about 30 minutes from here. If Nouds car is fixed, we are gonna check that out.

Thats it for now, peace!
