Photoshoot

Big thanks to Malcolm for taking these pictures! Check out his MySpace page
And of course my lovely Gail, who did her thing :D I'm a lucky guy.

Right after the shoot I backed my car into a grassy spot that have a 2 ft deep hole hidden inside! After trying for an hour to get the car out I finally called J-Rat to help!

Solid is always better then flasid.

Got a full day in of working on the car and helping my buddy Krayton who took most of the snaps. Pretty good if I must say so. Thats his car in the background :D

Just finished up the test arms for the JZX90/81 chassis. 1x0.120 DOM w/ Forged/Carbon Kevlar lined rod ends! A full set goes for $600 if anyone else wants some!

Also Test fit my old 18x12's but decided I don't want to go that aggressive with this build. I'm trying for a cleaner look:

Don't mind the ride height, just got done working on the car and the suspension had not settled yet and it's very dirty from all the rains lately.

Also decided on aero:

Hawaiian BBQ and Nissan performance!

Making the monthly pickup from my supplier in LA. This trip I met John from JSP Fab. I hope he finds a way to run more Formula D events this year. It seems to be a problem with all the good drivers I know. :( On the way back stopped to get some BBQ at L&L's. Every time I come here I don't want to go back.

Some love for my old car

Not a day goes by that I don't miss her, I keep wondering if moving up to a jzx90 was the right
choice. It's always a scary prospect to have to build a new car, dial it in, and learn to drive it all
over again...

Flusher and Alignment

Gotta get cracking on control arm rnd. Best alignment I could get on stock arms and a ride height i can stand looking at was:

Camber
3.5 Front and Rear

Toe
-1.0 front
-1.73 rear ohmy.gif

Caster was 6.0 and 6.3 (no adjustment there)

Also installed my old wheels:
