C.R.E.A.M Meet

So I went out to the cream meet in Vallejo tonight and I must say it was pretty dope. saw a lot of cool cars. Saw a legit JDM right hand drive all original EK3. It was a VTI model, witch is like the economy model. The guy was telling me that on the highway the 4th cylinder turns off so he gets ridiculously good gas mileage. That was pretty cool. There were a large variety of cars. and the parking lot actually got pretty packed. As I was leaving I saw a very familiar car parked next to mine. It was my old Miata, and it looked pretty good. That was kind of triply but it was pretty cool lol. If you're anywhere near Vallejo you should check it out. Hit up TheCreamLife.com For more info

Finally A Welded Diff

So if you've been reading then you know that I tried to get a welded diff but then ended up failing because I got the wrong diff bla bla bla.

So I came down to So-Cal and I knew that I could get it done here. I asked around and actually got sent the direction of a friend of mine. My friend Kristian works at SP Engineering, builds motors, and is all around a very knowledgeable and great guy. He told me that he had a shop with a few friends, and that he actually had an s14 diff that had been welded. Last night I brought my car over to his shop and he, and his friends hooked me up.

 










That's Kristina in the Snap-on jacket and his buddies working on my car.  So now may car is pretty much ready for motorsport action. I plan on hitting up some autocross in Santa Rosa ans Some drift events pretty soon.

David Is Back!

So my friend David (Martinez) is back from Japan! I'm so glad he actually missed the earthquake by a day! He is so lucky. Anyways, I went to go visit him and to go see how his cars are doing. he told me that he plans on bringing his Ej1 out to Eibach! Hopefully I'll b able to make it to Eibach this years along with most of the crew. He also showed me a lot of parts he ordered for his E30. He ordered a few bracing pieces and a few things to tidy up his car. After recently making some upgrades to my car i asked David to drive my car and give me an impression/ pointers. We took my s14 to a local canyon road and David took it through the paces. I got some good feedback from him and its strange but whenever he drives my cars and takes them to the limit, or close to the limit, I end up driving my car faster. After that we ended up just chillin and going out to eat. Good Times with a good friend.

All Business Life.

So I've been hanging out with the crew and we've all been doing a lot of work on our cars. Stephen Finally figured out why his check engine light was on it was a manifold gasket that needed to be swapped out for the correct one. and I finally put on those inner/outer tie rods on my car and got an alignment.

So I love drifting. Last week when i got paid I decided it was about time to put a welded diff in my car. So i picked up Alan's spare diff for about $40. Me and Garrett took it apart and got it welded witch cost $20 then we put it all back together. Upon jacking up my car and putting it on jack stands we ran into some problems. The Diff I purchased from Alan and got welded was an s13 diff and I obviously drive an s14. there were some minor differences that I could have worked around, but I'd rather run the differential carrier that is specific to my car. *sigh* Soon though! My dif will be welded and I will start hitting up some drift events. and you will hear about it first.

On a side note we made some rad new stickers:

Yeah pretty rad stuff!
