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.
B’Day boy, chillin’ out eating some cheese pre-party.
Richie brewed up some special (India Pale Ale) B’Day beer.
The cake table. Jamie and Richie went to town with the party decorations!
Healthy dips and lots of naughty finger food too.
A photo a month.
Jade. We have happy little guests!
Deb and Koby, who’s really into dinosaurs right now.
Andrew, Lachlan & Jayden
Eve and Jaydon, who’s not sure if he likes chocolate coated strawberry’s or not.
Cake cutting time!
Jamie broke 2 mixers making this cake.
And what a surprise inside, the kids loved it!
Mum played a traditional game where she laid out items on the ground, each representing a different path in life. Miles went for the calculator which represents business, despite Richie yelling out for him to grab the cash HAHA.
B’Day boy Miles was pretty chillax all day.
Take away lolly bags!
Nigorizake (cloudy sake) was recommended by our friendly waiter. We tried both versions, this one in particular had a fruity apple flavour.
Sashimi was amazing as usual.
Blood red tuna sushi took me back to Japan. I could have eaten just that all night long.
All sorts of goodness on a plate. We had many more amazing dishes, just too in the zone (eating) to take photos!
Nanami’s Mum treated us to an awesome feast at Masuya last night. She’s a local there, and called beforehand to make sure they’d hit it out of the park (and they sure did!). Definitely my fave place for sashimi and sushi now, no doubt.
Scored on eBay UK, original 70’s Bond Lotus Submarine :) I love it!
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.
Airtasker @ Zen Garage.
Airtasker is a great site which puts you in touch with people willing to do odd jobs at your set budget. We’ve used Airtasker to clear out a massive pile of bricks out the front of our warehouse, and also to clean the warehouse space.
Today they came in to shoot a video testimonial. I never feel any more comfortable no matter how many times I get in front of camera, didn’t help that it’s stupid cold in the garage today!
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?!).
