…I am not a morning person With that said; when I do wake up it is very hard for me to go back to bed. So I decided I can watch tv while browsing IG, 9gag, and reddit or go somewhere I haven’t been in years. After a quick oil and tire check; it was only a few minutes up the 210 fwy as I do not live to far from the mountain. Like a swimming pool; those who do not have one, want one. Those who…

Rolled Out Only To Clean

This car does not see much time out of the garage in recent year. On average only a couple hundred miles a year; even while on lockdown and working from home full time for almost a year. I thought i would have alot more time to enjoy the car; sadly i see it mostly only as i do laundry next to the garage. I have just been fiddling and buying things for it so i have something to do these days.

Mirrors after being sanded and sprayed with matte clear coat My MRacing mirrors had alot of miles on them, and the rock chips as well as the hard California sun caused the clearcoat to fade, crack, and peel. I purchased sandpaper and went to work. Going over the carbon with 800 grit and then 1500 grit. I give the mirrors two coats of Matte clear; then went over them with 2000 grit to smooth them…

I didn’t really plan on visiting ASM earlier this year but me and the girlfriend was in the area for the Cup Noodle Museum, so I decided we should swing by just to check it out. The last time I visited ASM was way back in October of 2017, so it’s definitely been a minute. You guys can check out the post from my 2017 visit HEREif you’re interested! I’m not gonna get into too much details in this…

Loosen up the rear

It was time for a front splitter to loosen up the rear of the car, and balance out the big wing. A buddy of mine Oscar took on the headache of getting a 4″ protrusion from the bumper equally; with two inches of overhang on each side. Oscar had to use some of his other templates to get all the dimensions correct as the ASM IS-11 bumper changes from its center to its ends.

After the splitter has…

Attack Maximum Challenge 2018: Autobacs ASM S2000

The myth, the legend, the icon, whatever you want to call it, the Autobacs ASM Yokohama S2000 is undoubtedly the holy grail of S2000s and it was a pleasure to see it competing at Tsukuba once again. I’ve personally seen the car a couple of times at ASM HQ out in Yokohama, but seeing it on the track and competing on such a high level is a definite treat. This year, they had one mission at Tsukuba;…

So i decided to keep the CE28’s, and run 255’s up front. I had an opportunity to purchase a set of ZE40’s from a local S2K owner. but i knew that i would have some trouble selling the CE’s in red, and i did not want to have a set of wheels just sitting in the garage waiting for a buyer. Realizing i like CE’s way more than ZE’s; I concluded it was the color that i was just trying to move away…
