Peter and I went to hit up City Beach to do some rock climbing. We pretty much gave up after an hour, our body felt heavy today.

I found out that Peter crashed at his last session on the spot and hit a sign. Went back to get the sign, it’s like ummm a collection… remember the time I hit a sign also? Minus Whale do a few laps right?

Adding to the collection, sooner or later we will be able to make our own city.

I hate having to think what should be the title for my blog. Hell, just throw random gibberish.

Remember Modified Toys? They’ve move again but for the last few years they’ve been laying low and finally making a comeback. They are now located in San Francisco and I wish the best for the guys. Charlie have done too many things for me when I started drifting back in the days so make sure to check them out.

They had a BBQ for friends, it feels like the old days when we used to BBQ every sunday. We were missing a few head from back in the days but it sure feels good seeing old faces.

It was the perfect timing since I broke my exhaust, I needed someone to weld my shit.  Here’s Beeznut holding the exhaust like a fruit.

February 2nd 2003. The fun days.

You know when you save so much photos in your hard drive, thinking it’ll be there forever? Then all of a sudden it craps out! I need to find someway to get the old pictures from that computer but knowing me, I suck at computer. I know Barry Geek Squad can do it but he’s too lazy so for now lets find some old fotos from Daniels (Dkwan) flickr account.

Here is me and someone, I have no idea who that is behind me. I think we were parked and some blur motion was added. HAHAH But that doesn’t mean we don’t drift up in the hills. I miss that my old white hatch.

Almost crashed! Rocking steelies with some real Recaro seats. Recaro was the shit back in the days and I still think they are. I think I got blinded by JDM and everything has to be Bride seats, Bride interior everything to be cool nowadays.

Opps someone did crashed. I forgot who this is but maybe my mind will refresh in a few hours.

SR5 4AC Carbs.

Fuck the tow truck, bang it out, drift it and go home!

I went to pick up my Ruckus at Blacktrax yesterday and I saw Aki working on the CRX. He was telling me that they’re getting ready for another 24 hours of Lemons racing that’s coming up at Altamont Raceway. Last year they got 3rd place out of a 100 cars. Here are some pics of their beast.

Alyza is all grown up. Last time I check she was just a baby, now she’s in 2nd grade.

My Ruckus got nothing on this bitch. 50MPH peewee bike. Shit could fly too, it’ll smoke Ruckus’s all day!

I went to attend my cousin’s funeral last week. Shit was weird seeing him inside the casket. Dude just turn 21 and died the day after going to work… Sad Day.

Aki (blacktrax performance) has been working on his 300ZX LS1 for hours of hours after work trying to get it running right. I got some sticker for the car getting it ready for Vegas Nightshift.

It finally started and was ready to go!

Then we notice some water leak. After working on it for a few more hours until 4AM, it was no dice.

Let me just say thanks to Aki, Nat, and Jei from Blacktrax for there tremendous help, Aki lend me his BRAND NEW TURBO DIESEL TRUCK to tow for Vegas. The thing only had 10K miles! I have no idea what I have done for these guys but they’ve been really helpful every time I / we need something. Need Dyno? Done! Need the shop to swap a motor? Done! Need a trailer? DONE! These guys have given me tons of hand! It’s hard to cup cake for a shop but the guys at BP does great jobs on swaps. They have a waiting list for about 2-3 months just so people can bring their cars to get some work done! They already have a few magazine cover. If that doesn’t speak for itself, I don’t know what does. (you all going to hate us but once again, they did us a favor. We just pushed in Barry’s SC400 to get a motor swap last night and i hope you’re not on the waiting list)

Since Aki’s monster LS1 couldn’t make it we load in Party Peter’s G Ride!

While waiting for Peter… I miss my sign. Remember this sign that we hit and stole?

After taking an hour nap, we finally hit the road, 10 HOUR DRIVE HERE WE COME! We met up with Jay Pizo, but fucker took longer than my girl getting ready. Probably cup caking so we didn’t get to leave until 10AM. Here he is debuting his new ride! The color is meh, I think it’s too dark but props to Jay for going outside the box and not building another ‘typical’ drift car.

Peter and Jay was doing an alignment on the car the night before for about 6-7 hours. I think they were doing more than aligning shit, if you know what I mean. I guess they were tired and curb a rim. LOL

Theres only two things that Barry does when we travel, Sleeping and Cup Caking.

After driving for hours of hours on the lonely fucking desert, we needed to take a pissed but there was no stop at all. I love being a man, take pissed anywhere unless another man pushes you to the pokey pokey bushes…

Bored of driving for hours of hours.
