2K Mark

konata-copyFinally reached it. Thanks. Mostly due to my HIN coverage and traffic from the Chronicles, but nonetheless Whoo hoo!


RaceLegal Car Show

Yay car stuff. Actually, it was probably the most boring car I have ever been too. The drive there was equal to the time spent there. 30 minutes. Sigh. Maybe I wasn’t in the mood, but I actually felt that my time could have been spent better at home watching anime. <<<<< Sad, but true. Anyways, got some pics. Enjoy.

img_1955img_1954There was a ok amount of people showing. But a really small show nonetheless.

img_1951And people wonder why I hate taking pictures of domestics.

img_1945img_1944img_1942Looky who it is again.

img_1941This is only shot I was actually happy with.

img_1936img_1934You know me and 5th gen Civics.img_1933 img_1931img_1930img_1929

No idea why the extra lights were necessary. I don’t think its comestics cuz..well look at it.img_1920img_1921img_1918img_1919


Update 032709

Nothing happened all week. So I pretty much just chilled out at home watching anime. People who know, know I speed through entire series of anime nonstop. I just finished the entire series of Clannad and Clannad: The After Story. At first, I thought it was really girl, but since there was so much hype about it, I forced my self to watch it. Soon after, meaning a couple hours laters, I got so immersed into the story, I just kept going. It was so incredibly intense. This would be one of the few thing in life that would tear a person up (meaning make you really sad). I watch quite a bit of moving series and this one tops them all. For some reason, I feel the anime storylines are better than anything else out there. I mean anything; movies, television, books. Anime is so incredibly unique and awesome. It is pure brilliance.

clannad-girls

And Racelegal car show tomorrow, so hopefully I get some cool stuff up.


Update 032409

Got a couple of meets coming up within the coming weeks. I just got a new grill for my Vee.

Update 032309

Been sick these couple of days. Nonstop sleeping and no eating for 3 days or so. I’m good now. I would have some pictures up, since I went to a meet tonight and there was a decent turn out. Problem is….I forgot my F@#%ING camera. D:< W/e. Hopefully, I’ll get something up soon. I’m still bugged about it since Team Hybrid and a bunch of other guys showed up. :/


Update 031809

Hey guys

I know you have been checking back here quite a bit. Assuming, you guys are coming for The Chronicles, I don’t update everyday. Usually every week since I don’t go shooting everyday and I have school. But sometimes I’ll have a random post in the middle of the week. I’ll get some stuff up this weekend and next week since its spring break. Right now I have a  huge headache, so I need to crash early since I have midterms tomorrow. Ugh. In the meantime, enjoy this Optimus Prime from HIN.

Shopow

I met up with Shopow today for a photo shoot in CMR. We got a good amount of cars to shoot so it was pretty fun.img_1790img_1751

A pair of JDM ITR Recaros.

Cars and Coffee 031509

Hey this is just a short post on Cars and Coffee in San Diego at Balboa Park Automotive Museum. Headed down there at 7AM after a night of HIN. I was so sore, I didn’t really want to go, but it was fun. Not enough imports though probably because of HIN the night before.

img_1720img_1721

img_1723Mostly, there was just domestics, but there was one interesting car. One that was very unique.

img_1741

This one was all metal and painted over with a clear coat. Very interesting effect.img_1742img_1744

Barely fits a pack of cigerettes. So low. All stock suspension.

img_1740This shot is not blurry. The focus is on the dice mind you.

img_1724One AP in the entire lot.

img_1729Plus two NSXs and that’s all the Honda/Acuras.

img_1725There were a bunch of Zs.

img_1732Decent amount of people showed up.

img_1733Nothing says power like a war machine behind you.

img_1734Only thing more ridiculous than this DOHC ZETEC domestic front…img_1736is the rear. With Altezza tail lights.

img_1737img_1739Team Shopow having a four way….lmao. (not my words)

img_1746They were having a raffle for a detail kit, so I was bored. Look at them. ^^


Hot Import Nights Coverage: Part Five

img_1684

Ooo. AP w/ Spoon Hardtopimg_1687

EGs will always be special to me. Grew up with one.img_1689img_1712

We left pretty early. At about 7PM since there wasn’t much to see anymore beside twenty booths trying to power each other with 20 different songs.img_1698

Omg! The Chronicles! (Joey, check out, this guy is struting your sticker) If you guys haven’t heard about The Chronicles, its a blog dedicated to specifically Hondas. Joey Lee, my cousin, and he’s writing for Honda tuning. Check it out http://stickydiljoe.com/

img_1715When we got to the cars, there was a bunch of crap cover our windshields.

img_1716What would one do with all this junk?

img_1718You plaster it all over your buddy’s STI. Lmao.


Hot Import Nights Coverage: Part Four

img_1550img_1553

Here’s that Civic again. I really liked it.

img_1559I really wanted to get a good shot of this, but the model kept getting in the way.

img_1565img_1568Ok now this section is the drift section. They didn’t go for very long. Maybe 10 minutes at most.

Hot Import Nights Coverage: Part Three

Awesome Interior Seats w/ my favorite shift knob.img_1528img_1529img_1535

That’s how the pros do it. Painters tape. Oh yeah. (lol)img_1538

Saw these two APs all the way in the corner.img_1539

I have never been a fan of the Spoon hardtop but this one doesn’t look too bad.img_1544img_1545That’s all I have uploaded so far. I should have another half to upload tomorrow, then some more editing and uploading. I should have new updates all week.


Hot Import Nights Coverage: Part Two

I’m trying to keep each post short because it takes forever to load the images. Crappy server on the site sucks.

img_1476

EG w/ a K.

img_1482And a bottle of NOS.

Hot Import Nights Coverage: Part One

Hey guys, it going to take some time to get all the photos up, but I’ll get around to finishing it all up within the weekend. Its getting late and I have to get up for Cars and Coffee in the morning.
img_1401

We met up with some guys from SDRev in the morning at North County Fair. This is Jon B.’s STI up there.

img_1404

Only four cars showed up.

img_1420

We were stuck on the ramp to the 78 from the 15 for half an hour because some idiot decide to crash into the barrels on the divider.

img_1427img_1430When we finally got there, it was 2:30 or so and we just sat around watching the drifting of amateurs. At about 3:30, we headed over to the line which stretched quite a while.

img_1433

When we got in, first thing I saw was KITT. Yes, go knight rider!

img_1438

Ooo pretty.

img_1442 Are one of these really necessary? I mean who will ever race this?

img_1445-copyLambo doors. So over done, even Lambos don’t have them.

img_1451img_1454img_1455

Wow. Really? Really?!

img_1460Great…even more of them.

img_1461Classic.

img_1463img_1465img_1466Look at the size of that!

img_1470Pretty Red.

Update 031409

Hey guys

I’m heading up to HIN(Hot Import Nights) tomorrow so there will be some good pics. In the meantime, I started watching the WCG Ultimate Gamer show. Its actually not too bad. You can watch on Hulu.com.

Oooo Pretty Civic.

img_1397

Going to head down to Joe’s Pizza tonight so more pictures.


Lack of anything cool

Sorry about nothing. This weekend is full of bail outs. Everyone just cancelled…or just didn’t show up. I don’t appreciate stand ups. I think that is such a douche thing to pull. Well, I’m not sure if I’m going to Joe’s Pizza tonight. I want to, but no one is going with me so I don’t know how that will work out. Anyways, here’s something to entertain you with.

img_0972Yes this is my 97 Honda CRV. Yes, I know its nerdy. Its still cool in my opinion.

9091556717471beb8119b51a1f660b071224006206_fullSee I’m not the only loser. Gz.


No more Front Plates

Petition. Apparently, there is a petition going around requesting the state of California remove the law that requires all cars to have a front license plate. I never really cared about front plates, but its nice to have the option.

img_1000SMILE!


Watchmen 030609

watchmen-posterYAY! Watchmen tomorrow. I actually wasn’t that excited about this movie until the trailer came out. It looked rather bland and over done with the comicbook movie syndrome, but I liked the comic and apparently this movie looks pretty good. Hopefully it will be. I’m going to go watch sometime tomorrow in Mira Mesa. Just to let you guys know, Bestbuy is having a special promotion for Watchmen. If you buy any Xbox Live product, you get two free tickets to Watchmen. I recommend buy some points since its the cheapest thing.

And remember. Check back these couple of days. Good stuff.


Hot Import Nights (HIN)

5-300x250_1
There’s the imfamous event with all the music, cars, and girls up in Los Angeles we hear about. This year I’m thinking about heading up there to check out. Most likely I will. Shelling out my cash when I have so little left. lol. Anyways, apparently they had a big conflict with Dodger Stadium saying “No to hip-hop.” Wtf. That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Its LA, there’s always hip hop.  Whatever, I have never been so I don’t really care. I prefer Anaheim since its closer to me. The event is its entirety isn’t really my style of car tuning anyways, too many neons, ridiculous sound systems, and chrome everything. I was once like that, everybody’s had their ricer phase.

This will hopefully be fun and I’ll get some good shots in. I’m hoping there won’t be too much of a crowd so I can’t shoot. Fattys bumping around. This should something to see like some Hondas. ^^d


Flashback

untitled-1A while back, I used to look on deviantart all the time. I haven’t looked on there for a while since most of the work on there kind of sucks, but w/e. Anyways, there’s a guy on there called “dangeruss“. Regardless of the corny name, he has some seriously hardcore automotive artwork. The stuff above looks almost realistic, but its really vector.


Update 030109

Sorry guys about lack of new posts. Really busy these couple days, but I promise that this coming weekend will definitely be some to see. I have a 95 Civic Coupe with a K-series, a 300zx, and I’m thinking about heading down to the Joe’s Pizza meet on Sunday. So there will be some good stuff to look at.
