Well, Back on topic.


While I was in SD over the summer, someone knocked the cable off the battery maintainer and my CF Braille Died. So I decided I'd get a better, hopefully more reliable battery (Optima Grp. 51) that's not quite as pimp, but has a 3 year warranty, vs. the less than 1 year I got outta the Braille.

So I figured I had to get some engine bay bling to compensate for the loss of the CF battery. So I got so Prova Clutch and Brake Res. covers, and a matching Prova Rad. cap for when I toss in the PWR radiator. I also got an MRT Brake MC Brace which should firm up the pedal feel.

I also got some new Tires! Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star specs (225/40/18), and got a new alignment, with a little more negative camber in the front.
it's been too damn hot to go driving and break in the tires, so I'm not gonna gonna track it this month, but I'll be out there at PIR on the Track in Oct!


I'll post up some cool shots I got soon.....

 

my braile has been rocking since 04 or 05

no problems *knocks on wood*


if you leave it sitting you have to charge it

 

Battery don't last long in AZ, when the ambient air temp get above 110*, it doesn't drop below 100* for days some times, and freeway temps can be +125*F, it just cooks them. I got a little over a year out of it.

Gonna have a spread in the Nov. issue of Modified, make sure to check it out!

Moving to So. Cal next year, already found a house.



It's the whole corner lot & the white buildings. It's badass.

 

Hooray! My Baby girl is One today!



If i'm not mistaken, the Nov. Issue should be out today, so make sure to pick up a copy!

 

Hey John. Just got my copy of Modified. Congratulations dude!

 

Wow, congrats on everything. The house looks awesome from the aerial pic. And SoCal will be at least a little bit cooler, so that should extend battery life. I'll be sure to check out the Modified Mag.

 

Another great track day! It's late, and I'll post more info about it later, but here's a few pictures I found. I was giving a couple buddies ride-alongs.
Got bumped up to DE3, Now I can enter the NASA Time Attacks!

 

UHHHHHHHHHHH WTF dude when is the bbq welcome to so cal meet ?!??!?!?? hahhahha

congrats on the TA and ill check the mag out can you sighn it?

 

I'll probably have a BBQ/ B-day party either at my new crib or the huge park around the corner and do the after party at my place. The park is big and has great parking and facilities, I'll definitely keep everyone posted.
And I have no problem signing it for you, I think that's really cool!

I'm going to get a few copies right now, I heard they hit the newsstands already.


Thanks! Yeah, I grew up in Hawaii so I prefer the weather in SoCal WAAAAAAAAAY more. It's 76*F in San Diego right now, and it's still over 100*F in AZ.

Here's a few more teaser shots.









I'll post the rest soon, I gotta go get my copy!
