Getting busy

For whoever reads this blog, you probably know that I'm into photography a little bit as well. You can view my pictures on my Flickr;

Friends, Fun, Nurburgring

I was just looking back on some pictures I took before when I came across this one.
Chilling in our holiday home with the Wangan Warriors crew just 2 minutes from The Ring. Nice memories.

Time flies

New stance

family

thanks guys

Still alive

I have been too busy lately to update this, luckily I had enough time to go through other people's blogs though.
Quite some updates; bought a new camera (Canon 500D), been to England for a week (conference on language teaching).
S13 is hovering on stands; GT-R brakes are on, wide fenders are nearly on, wheels are on, custom exhaust by Kay is on (it's so sexy) only the bumpers need some work and painting but I will leave that for Willy, haha.
I'll put up a picture of the exhaust as I won't be uploading any pictures of the project. I'll only put "before and after" pictures online.

My car would still be bone stock if it wasn't for my mates to help me, thanks guys.

Ooh la la!

My love for FC's is growing bigger and bigger

Maintenance

I'm changing my blog's "appearance" at the moment so bare with me when it doesn't look organised or looks really chaotic, I'll manage... I hope.

Wangan Warriors on Speedhunters!

We did it! We made it on to Speedhunters!
They organised a "guest blog" month where every reader could submit their blogs or stories, we decided to do it as well... with success!

Thank you, Speedhunters, for letting us have our 15 minutes of fame!

Check out the story on Speedhunters!

hella hella hella hella hella hella hella nice

ichi, ni... saaaaaaaan!

I'm digging this for some reason...

Pimpin' the volvo

I know for certain that it's possible in the US, UK and in Germany to create your own license plates, and if you're not interested a combination of letters and numbers will be put together for you. The latter sometimes gives quite some cool combinations.
As I was driving back from Germany where I always get my petrol; it's cheaper, higher octane and I live a couple of minutes from the German border, I got annoyed by the old Volvo driver in front of me because he was driving reallllly slow... Then I noticed his license plate, he can't possibly have requested the combination:



S13 is asleep, ssshhhhhh

Burn!

Sexy ass

I've never seen a rear bumper like mine on a car untill I came across a picture of one on the Dutch sx-forum.

I reckon it looks really good. To the owner; Nice work!

Same car, same bodykit, different angle, sexy

Lazy people can be annoying

I picked up the bodykit the other day. Turned out not to be the promised Uras-like kit and I found it when I got home. The people at the shop were rather weird and strange and I didn't feel like spending a second more than necessary. Only thing I can think of is that the seller was too lazy to take pictures of his own kit, instead he browsed for some pictures on the internet that looked pretty much alike...

Anyway, it's a V-Speed kit by Extreme Dimensions, I have no idea which "jdm-tyte!" bodykit it ought to represent, all I know is that I like it. Fell in love with it when I saw Willy driving behind me in his S13, he's got a V-Speed bumper as well.

All-in-all it's not such a bad thing that I didn't buy a Uras-kit as I like this one just as much.

This is how the front bumper looks like on Willy's S13:

(lower it, Wil!)

Santa was early

Its been quite some time since my last entry and a lot things happened, short sum up;
- New windscreen
- "New" roof (a million thanks go out to Willy who fixed my roof so properly)
- New wheels came in
- Wangan Warriors meeting in Nijmegen was a huge success
- New bodykit

First things first
The Wangan Warriors meeting in Nijmegen was a huge success, over 65, 70 cars showed up. I haven't taken any pictures (which I regret) but have a look at the Wangan Warriors homepage and get an idea of how we rocked the place!

Next, I've got my new windscreen in and Willy has made my roof look good again. He thinks it still needs some work but I'm more than happy with how it is right now, thanks so much mate!

New Wheels!

They were delivered seperately as they couldn't fit 2 in a box which apparently is the standard procedure. Condition? Immaculate! Some of my friends didn't believe me when I said they were second hand and I was, and still am, pretty amazed by how good they look!

Thank you RB Motorsports, if you are ever to read this.

They are 4 lug!

Had them around for a week when John came over to check them out. He made me take the hub caps off when we discovered they were 4 lug, hahah! It didn't say so on the website where I bought them so I didn't even bother to have a look. We put them on right away and this is how it looks:

I'm so glad I bought them, they look really good and I can't wait to have them on. They stick out a good 8 centimetres, 8.5 to be precise. Will definitely be needing wiiiiide fenders and that made me think about the looks. A stock rear bumper with 50mm widefenders and 12J wheels sticking out of the side doesn't look good at all, luckily I came across an ad on the dutch sx forum. A guy was selling his Uras immitation body kit (front, side, rear) for a bargain. Will be picking that up on wednesday.

The kit (only got a front bumper pic)

That's it for now, check back later for any updates.

Peace!

Wangan Warriors will take over the world!

Wangan Warriors organised another meeting that is due at the end of the month!
It is going to be big, we will be expecting around 40 to 50 Japanese cars and a good ambiance. Feel like joining? Go to the Wangan Warriors website and add yourself to the list!

Check back later for pictures and updates, hope to see you there!

Life's good

Kay sold his blue touge monster the other day and bought something completely different. It's stylish, classy, quick for its class and above all, veeeeery luxurious.

I present you, Kay's Lexus GS300. New car, new project











I spoiled myself as well. I've been looking for a nice set of wheels for my S13 for ages. I came across these a month ago and it was love at first sight. Decided to buy them last Saturday:
