So this year was a little different for me since moving to socal. Me and my gf celebrated halloween with the 626 drift peeps at teddy's house this year...drinking, dancing, puking...who can't ask for a better night.

I'm soooooo sorry Teddy, but I really had too..

Snaps> Spirit Rei USA (SEMA 2010)

Here are a few teaser pics of note-worthy cars from SEMA 2010. I was suprised and very pleased to see Spirit Rei cars in the US this year! However the Spirit Rei cars had taken a US adaptation with a v8 powerplant in one of the cars...









Kinda sad to see a V8 in the JDM built S13 Coupe

Snaps > A weekend @ XDC Phoenix,AZ with Teddy from Team Mulsanne

People: How is it possible you don't get hassled by the cops or pulled over??
Me: AZ plates niggaaaaa!

lolol

So I had to go back to Phoenix about 2 weekends ago to do my emissions test(smog). What a better way to spend a weekend doing emissions and watching XDC Phoenix. And to top things off, my buddy Teddy from Team Mulsanne came along for the ride too!

Being back in Phoenix, was surreal for me. With less traffic, cops, and a general sense of surbia..me and a couple of the boys rolled out to watch XDC Phoenix, and had a late night street drift session for old times sake after the event. It was good to be back. It was also awesome, to be able to share the bromance TF shares with our good friend Teddy. here are some snaps of the quick weekend trip...

Teddy loves Wilbur!

Some amazing HDR shots by Teddy






Emission people can't figure out why the car is so low and the wheels are poking out too much..


Smoggin...

Snaps> Raymond's Build..Updated

Hey Guys here's a couple of updates on my build so far...I'm almost there, and hopefully my car will up and running pretty soon..see you guys on the streets.

-Raymond

I ended up getting my valve cover shaved. It turned out pretty nice(imo)! Then I took it over to Glendale powder coating to get coated with some candy purp! My cell phone makes it look a lil Blue : (.




While my valve cover was at powder coating I took sometime to get a couple more things checked off the list... Installed PBM HMIC, and also had John and Matt at Future Fabrication out here in AZ(they do amazing work) weld on my Tial BOV flange and -10 fitting for my IC piping. They will also be doing my tubs intake, and catch can here in the near future








Im trying to do all of this on a budget so I ran out of money and was not able to do the twinscroll setup that I wanted. So I went with the next bext thing. A tomei expreme mani, tomei elbow, and modded 2871 w/ .64ar. Still waiting for the elbow to get here once it does im going to strap everything on and the car will be off to Future Fab!! Then the motor will be pulled and engine bay will get sprayed








A lil stretch for you peeps!




Doing a test fit of my SSRs and BN kit...lookin good!


stay posted for more updates in the near future...

Snaps> Bad Axles, Hangin w/ Vince and Sliding @ Willow

Had an awesome weekend last week! Vince and Ryan came to socal to visit and party! Twas an eventful weekend, however the mood was kinda dampened by mishaps and stuff breaking...however it panned out fine in the end, thanks to a select few people's help and support!

Vince and Ryan rollin hard!


Vince like a G, makin his breezy work on my car! lololol


New shoes


Watch out for Harrison's New upcoming site www.ilovehighend.com


So while vince and me were test fitting my new shoes, we noticed alot of bearing grease all over the rear subframe..after further inspection we discovered that I had ripped my CV boot completely off and the bearings were pretty much exposed and ready to fall out...I probably messed it up drifting at the All star car battle event in AZ in Aug..and i'm lucky the dam axle didn't fall out from the drive back from AZ to socal..jeez!





and off course in the process of removing the wheels i find out i stripped out a couple of my kics lugs...but thank god for Denise and DK who came by to help and support with my last minute fix of a spare axle sourced out last minute by Charlie, I was able to get the car up and running to do a test&tune sesh at Willow the following morning!

my official willow membership...sweet! (yea, yea, yea..i'm old, shut up!)


holdin it down at balcony






So being a chill sesh at Balcony that morning, I decided to bust out the camera and snap a couple shots friends that rode up together..
