weee!

When I first bought my car, I had every intention of working on it. Not so much hands on, but making it the fun project car it was meant to be. Unfortunately I had just never gotten around to it. It was always “ill do it next month”. Joel was doing the same thing. We both needed to fix some things about our car but neither of us got around to it. We were both in this love-hate relationship with our cars.

Every time I looked at my car, I was always filled with as much inspiration as I was disappointment. I could see all the things I loved about it, all the things I wanted to spoil her with, then I remembered all the things about her that made me want to kick her. I was a bad owner. I wasn’t treating her right, and in the end all the things about her that made me dislike her were things I needed to fix.

Get the ball rolling right? So I have. With the help of Bryan, Ive been able to start the upgrades and investments into my car. Investments? Yes. Not because it increases its dollar value, but because it makes me like it all over again. Its an investment of my own self interest and self gratification. Ive slowly begun to re-ignite the love affair with my car.

Its amazing what 2 small “upgrades” do to the car. New Suspension and New Exhaust.

RS*R ExMag Exhaust
I have replaced my Greddy Evo with the RS*R ExMag Exhaust. While the Greddy is a popular choice, it was always just an interim choice for me. I needed to get rid of the mexican rice exhaust that plagued my car when i first bought it and the Greddy was a cheap and quick solution. While it was significantly quieter and a better performer, it still left a lot to be desired.

My new exhaust is not only extremely and amazingly quiet, the sound she does emit is very appealing. I can actually hear my engine and my vtec. It also just has a very pleasant hum to it. It looks great on the car as well. It fits perfectly with my GS-R rear bumper. It also has noticeable performance gains. Well worth every penny.

TEIN Super Street Damper
My existing suspension was shot. My shocks and struts were dead and the skunk2 coilovers that were in place just weren’t cutting it. Swapping out my suspension had always been an initial change I had intended on doing but like all else, it just never happened. I have upgraded to the TEIN ss coilovers and they are fucking amazing.

My car handles amazingly well. Even with stock front strut bar. The TEIN SS Coilovers offer me 16 levels of damping force, and ride height adjustable springs. I had intended on getting the EDFC, but I think i will hold off for now.

Bryan has recommended a few strut bar and sway/tie bar kits. That along with new wheels is next. I will be converting to a 5 lug wheel so we’ll see what I get next!

I keep thinking saying “I’m going to post” because something relevant happens that I actually want to blog about, but then I never manage to get it done.

OMG, I have a normal sleeping schedule..
So lets recap. Ive doing a pretty fun contract with Erik’s company, CBA Media. I forget how enjoyable it is to work with someone who you know is exceptional at what they do, and someone who is confident and aware of your own skillset. It’s been a lot of work, but definitely fun. It’s also been a lot of work, on my sleep schedule! I’m all regular now. I wake up at 7am and fall asleep around midnight.

Las Vegas… Superbowl… Zumanity..
Over Superbowl weekend, Joel and I went to Vegas and met up with my family. I didn’t really get to see my Dad though we hung out with my sister Gina, Boomer, Jeff, Reb, Lynn, Kehau, and some other ppl. It was a lot of fun. We all had a really good time, though its quite unfortunate we only got to see them for a day.

We spent the next day being tourist vacationers and avoiding the superbowl completely. We shopped around and bought Joel a really nice sport coat. Ive been telling him for some time now that he should get a few. He has the perfect build for it and it helps to accessorize or define what your wearing. He said he use to define the “level” of dress he had with shoes. I think the job is better done with a Jacket. (or both). Since he got his new glasses, the entire ensemble attire made him look really… refined. haha. NERDY

Afterward we went to NYNY to watch Zumanity. It was really good. The entire sexual atmosphere was intriguing and definitely alluring. The adult humor and comedy is what really defined this show from any other cirque de soleil Ive seen. Besides, how can you argue with bouncing boobies everywhere? While most had the very slim fit body of an acrobat a few were “dancers” and had cute bouncy boobs. As you think it doesn’t get any stranger, there was an amazing acrobat.. MIDGET. While I’m not giving this show any justice with my brief synopsis, it was quite amazing and encourage any of you to see it.

High School Reunion
Fuck, I am old. 2005 marks my High School Graduating Class of 95’s Tenth Year Reunion. I am not really that excited by the prospect of it. I feel pretty indifferent. When i last visited Hawaii, everything was pretty disconnected. All of my friends have moved on, in fact most of my friends didn’t even keep in touch with each other. A lot of them have never changed. What use to seem such a big part of my is slowly starting to feel insignificant.

I use to always refer to my friends from Hawaii as my “good” friends or “best” friends.. now I don’t know what to call them. My sister said that your friends in Hawaii will always be your friends. No matter when you go back they will always be your friends. I guess this is true. If i moved back i could probably just spend time with them and the relationship would have significance. Perhaps it just makes me sad because these people who were important to me, have simply outgrown me.
