Lots of random things happening here and there lately so some of these posts are not in order (cuz my memory is just that damn bad). So just sit back and enjoy the shitty pics.
First off, I got this awhile ago but I dont believe I made a post about it. Its a delrin knob that I bought. I gotta say, driving it both in the cold and in the warm, it feels great. In the cold, its not REALLY anti-cold resistant but meh, better than a freezing Razo knob or the OEM one.
So I had this weird short happening with my car shortly after I installed my s2000 starter button. Weird shit, but it turned out the brake light was shorting out with the DRL circuit. This meant that when I pushed on the brake pedal, my interior lights and DRLs would all come out. Pissed me off for the longest time. Shoutouts to Sanjay and Ocean as they were the ones who suggested to check in the most logical place, the bulbs themselves. DOH! (Note to self, be more receptive of suggestions from knowledgable people)
Went shooting awhile back with J.Ng. Super fun shit, this guy knows how to have fun ladies! Honestly I had a blast, and thanks for taking me man. My highlight of the day was when I got to shoot the shotty. Goddamn you just feel immortal after that.
I hit up the sandblasting place that I found last year with Ocean as well. He needed his differential sandblasted and cleaned so we went. I was sort of last minute on deciding what to sandblast so I chose the header. Some of you guys probably wont like the finish as its a sort of matte finish. But I think its fine. I'd rather have this than have a weirdly contaminated peice. I chose glass bead as my blasting media as its anti-corrosive. That means that the stainless steel should still retain its properties.
Ocean at the sandblasting place.
Maxim Works logo. Aka M-silent header.
This peice is JASMA approved.
The final finish. I gotta say, the customer service is just awesome at Langley U-Blast. I recommend going to them for any sandblasting needs. Jon is just a standup and awesome guy.
Put the summer wheels on. The 225/45/15 tires are a hell lot of difference compared to the 185/60/14 winters that were on for the longest time. I'm just not used to the huge difference in grip level.
At the autocross, I had a hard time rotating the car with throttle. In fact I think I was mostly WOT during the corners at the car wouldn't rotate. Then again bear in mind I'm a shitty driver. I use mods to cover up my lack of driving skill. Seriously I have a lot to learn.
J-fok stylin it up in the nice weather. Thanks for coming out man!
Picked up my Motul Gear 300 as well. Just getting stuff to prep the car for its next maintenance interval. I'm probably going to get the engine mounts as soon as Mazdaspeed approves my application to their parts program. I could really use the extra discount as my funds are really running low with having to pay with school and random costs.
Hate to end the post on a bad note, but I got rear ended on HWY1. Its complete BS, and I'm pretty much speechless for that matter. I'm just hoping that all goes smoothly with ICBC and that I have a speedy recovery.
Note the cracks in the paint. I really fucking hope nothing is worse underneath...
