At the shop

Yesterday, I went to Sky-Engineering again to get some other things fixed. I have a proper working oil pressure gauge now! It's nice to be able to keep an eye on your oil pressure and such as it's one of the more important things of an engine.

I love this "stance", if you will. Not because it's my car, saw a Soarer on the Risky Devil blog a while ago standing in some garage like this as well. Sexy sexy!

Not your average shop!

It's working!

Got my R33 gauge cluster installed at Sky-Engineering last friday. Finally some proper-working gauges to look at!
I'm going back there this friday to get the oil and boost pressure working properly as well... I'm useless when it comes to electrics.



Put the Commander on the dash with velcro and insulation tape... guess what? It's shit. I'll be "re-fitting" it this week, going to drill the mofo on the dash, that'll do.




Cool song to start the week with:

Daaaaaaaamn!

Came across this duo when I was browsing on Hypem.com the other day. Told my cousin about them and had 3 albums of em 30 minutes later. E-ve-ry song they've put on their albums is very well put together. Ill beats and deep yet down to earth lyrics.

Japanese Auto Festival + old skool beats

So the Wangan Warriors Crew and I went to the Japanese car event a couple of weeks ago. Good fun, the weather was shit in the morning but fortunately it turned out to be a lovely day. There were looooaaaaads of cars, many ricers but a lot of serious set-ups as well. I'll put a couple of pictures on. Want to see the rest? Check the Wangan Warriors forum -> Meetings.

What do you need umbrellas for?


Johan and piss-face

Check!



Now, something completely different:
Spookrijders - Klokkenluiders. A proper Dutch hiphop song which came out in 1999.
I miss that old skool stuff, it's all commercial bollocks nowadays.
Check that beat out!

Far too hot

I'm in danger of breaking sweat at any moment... it's 37 degrees Celcius over here and it's far too hot. Luckily, according to the weather man, heavy shit will be coming down in half an hour. A national "weather alarm" has been put out so we'll see what it gives.

It's been a while since I've put any updates on here. Quite some things have happened. I've been reading books like a madman for a school assignment. Most of the books are really okay though, didn't know reading was that much fun. It's weird even for me to say that.

My SX has had some "maintenance". See, I rather wrecked my fans when I was chasing a Ferrari. I desperately wanted to prove the owner I was faster than he was but unfortunately my fans didn't feel like that. They started rubbing my hoodpins and the fans' frame snapped a few minutes later.
Ordered two, 12", Spal fans the same week and Johnny helped me loads by fitting them. Everytime they switch on it sounds as if I will take off like a 747.

It's one more day untill the Nürmeet 2009. The German SXOClub organises a massive meeting near the Nürburgring every year. This year will be my third and I really can't wait. Need to wash my car, tidy things up inside and then just cruise down there. Every time I get to the Nürburgring this voice goes through my head saying "buy a ticket, take your car for a spin".
I'll just have to be patient though, my brakes are shit and I really have to wait untill I've got my new brakes fitted.

As for now I'll just have to read books for another day and a half.
Ted Nugent's been a champ for keeping me awake:
