Michael Koval from Xtreme Motorsports dropped in today with some new Ralliart floormats for me. Check him out, he’s smiling, his Toyota BB is too :)
I was smiling as well. They’re genuine (I hate fake shit) and despite not being the exact model for my car the front mats were a good fit and freshen up the interior a lot (dark is good!).
At Spinning Wheel this morning.
Yes back to work, car is sitting nice and low and it just feels amazing to drive now.
Loving the EVO, so much so that the massive new dent on the front drivers side guard really upsets me, happened the other night when a drunken lady marched right into my car and fell over the bonnet. Won’t be an easy fix as it’s an aluminium panel… :(
New Hankook Ventus R-s3 tyres.
Tein Mono Flex coilovers.
Genuine OEM Vortex Generator.
400km/tank, phew! Not as bad as I thought!
I’ve been down with food poisoning for the past few days, spent most of it sleeping and feeling sorry for myself. This afternoon Zi let me know my suspension was in, itching to get out of the house I endured 1st gear traffic for 1.5hrs to get to Smithfield to have my coilovers installed.
Zi surprised me with a genuine vortex generator which the previous owner never got fitted, sweet! Also nice to know the car was upgraded at the factory with the ‘performance pack’ which included Bilstein shocks and forged BBS rims. All great news, music to my ears. Traffic sucked on the way home too… but hey… WELL WORTH IT!
More on this update on my JDMST Build Thread.
Finally got off my bum and got these T’s printed. Initially I was using Redbubble, a print on demand service. Whilst they print on American Apparel T’s the print itself was crap (digital printing). Screen Printing > Digital Printing any day. Find them (and a lot more new goodies) in the Zen online shop: http://zengarage.com.au/shop
Washed her this morning before work. Initiation has been done, we now know each other on an intimate level :) More pics here.
Needs a wash, badly.
Back in power.
I’ve just started my EVO IX Build Thread on JDMST. I’ve spent over an hour going through the history of the car, it’s all so so good. Very happy I’ve got a clean base to mod (if that’s what I’m going to do?!).

Au revoir DC2R.
Car has gone to a good home. Was really starting to like it. you know… looking over your shoulder to take a glance at it once parked… but in reality it’s just too slow for a daily driver. I miss the urgency of the Golf GTI, it’s ability to dart in and out of traffic gaps on the way to and from work. New car is with me as of today, build thread coming soon.
Thing of beauty.
Laying frame.
Mad Max!
Mind = blown. Loved this Harley. I’d so ride this to work every day.
Rods.
Sergio working his ass off.
Our little stall.
Our goodies.
We spent a good part of today getting our Zen Garage stand ready @ Motorex (in The Dome Sydney Olympic Park). We’ve been allocated a massive spot that fits 6 cars, so so awesome. Some of the rides I saw today were insane. Should be an awesome show tomorrow! :)

I always pass these guys whenever I hit the M4 but I’ve never stopped to have a look. I always gawk too as there’s always some cars of interest there.
Caldinas. Rare. I find them interesting.
I’ve been tempted to buy a TME again. This silver one was about as clean as they get. 40,000km’s with log books to prove it.
All sorts of goodies in this room. Wheels (spot the BBS’ off an 8 MR), seats, all for sale.
Sleeping in another secured space, this 35.
Loved this sign, had a very Japanese feel to it.
If you’re going to bring cars in from Japan, you might as well stuff them with parts too right?! So many yummy little goodies.
Sergio and I dropped in to visit Joe at Xtreme Motorsports last night. As expected, he had some impressive cars for sale and my hunch that he was a top bloke (after meeting him briefly at Showcased a few weeks ago) was spot on. What a champ, massive heart. We were there to talk community and ALL STARS. More news as it comes! In the meantime, visit: http://xtrememotorsports.com.au
Images and videos from Showcased are still making their way online… awesome! I particularly like this image of my car taken by Sam from streetfans.net
