Watch this space!

How porno is this space?!?!?! Blank canvas. Creative freedom. I’ve got a new project on the boil that involves converting this massive empty warehouse space into a retail store + office space (on mezzanine).

It’s all hush hush for now, but I’m excited. The stars are aligning!

Golf MKV GTI Update


Spotted outside: Budi’s Autotechnik Tuning Honda Odyssey. I’m sure the drop is coming.


Spotted inside: This S2K gets more trackcore every time I see it.


Broken drivers side front CROSS coilover – end link tab had snapped clean!


New KW Clubsport coilovers vs old and broken CROSS coilovers.


I love camber :)


New SB brake rotors to replace cracked and noisy Brembo rotors.


All installed, need more camber and new tyres (Monday) and wheel alignment after that.


Race Fuel at Indy’s. I then dropped into IS Motor Racing to say G’day to Indy and a mate Dave.


Dave’s EG Civic (Paul’s old car). Old school Mugen rims and fresh Porsche GT3 Red paint.


Dave wanted Indy to install a set of DC2R pedals for him. Indy said fuck you, do it yourself. DIY! LOL so Dave got busy and I project managed (haha).


My driveway is pretty smooth and low, even so I scrape the front lip every time, not to mention one wheel goes up in the air like a dog cocking it’s leg to pee!


Car. is. always. dirty…


I also replaced the rear Green Stuff brake pads with Ferodos. Check them out, crazy crumble… never again!

VWGolf.net.au Schnitzel Night


David’s R32.


Big guy, big heart.


Stiff Pipe!


Howie’s Porker.


Anoop’s MKVI GTI.


My MKV GTI.


Oven Baked Organic Schnitzel, the (slightly) healthier option!

The tradition of meeting up on the 1st Wednesday night of every month with the Sydney VWGolf.net.au guys continues, tonight we ate at The Bavarian at EQ. Small turnout as the 1st of the month caught us all off guard, always good company though, small crew, or big!

Gear


I’ve worn my blue Adidas sneakers into the ground and I’ve been looking for some new blue sneaker to replace them. When I saw these in Melbourne I jumped on them.


Attn: Fixie riders. I flipped the NJS logo upside down, it now reads SIN. You can buy this T-Shirt design at RedBubble (I’ve set the mark-up to 0% so it’s 100% not-for-profit).


“Power Oversteer” – A design inspired by Dean Poole of Alt Group who I saw present at Semi a few weeks ago. Click here for purchasing information.


Simple JDMST logotype design. Click here for purchasing information.

Qantas rebrand


Qantas pulled a sneaky. I had no idea they refined the kangaroo again (I like the older one better, and this original design best).

Melbourne Trip – Day 2 – JDMST EOMM


Thanks to Kyne (a very generous guy who we hadn’t met before) Christina and I managed to get a lift to the JDMST meet out at Doncaster. Turns out it’s the biggest Melbourne JDMST meet I’ve attended so far.


Melbourne guys have a great sense of humor which came through in all the decals I spotted on various cars.


Micra on fat meshies.


I see this decal all the time on Lancers in Sydney. I met Irving, the guy who owns this car (nice guy!), it turns out he also runs the Victorian chapter of Club CJ


Carey kindly offered us a lift back to the city for drinks and a bite to eat at the Little Creatures brewery (always great). He’s just launched his Tumblr site, it’s awesome so be sure to check it out: http://onepointeight.tumblr.com


The bill, very cute.


On the way back to the hotel Christina got busy on this water fountain (out the front of the Westin) with some Autumn leaves.

You can view many more pics here.
