on stage

I took part in judging the car show at the Hellaflush x Canibeat show at the Queen Mary last Saturday. It was a ton of fun hanging with my crew and friends all day. The quality of cars on display were top notch. Mark of Fatlace asks me when I attend these events to be apart of the judging, and I’m always happy to be apart of that. The announcing went real good when I was on stage. In Hawaii it seemed the word didn’t get out very good that the awards were being given out and only one or two of the people that won showed up. People in Long Beach were amped and it made for a great day! I’ll have some car show pics up when I can.



WFC meet

The WFC meet was a huge success! I was happy to see tons of my crew that I only get to see a few times a year. This will be one of those days I will not forget. I was surprised at the interest people showed in my E30 project car. Several people throughout the day came up to say how clean it was. The point of the build is for myself, but it was nice to get some recognition on how things are going for it so far! I posted my pics from the event on Fatlace already so check it out.

jhooks the friendly neighborhood mechanic

My friend Tatsuya moved here from Japan in January. This is his daily driver car he bought in the states. I was talking to him the other day about the car, and we both figured it was time for a little tuning up. The car sputters off the line at times so we thought maybe the spark plugs needed to be changed. We did that along with a basic fluid change and freshened up the paint on the stock wheels. The car is running like new again!
