So I have been working on the car here and there all the while committing sacrilege to drifters everywhere. I have been adding weight when I should be removing it. Haha. I started the process of installing a “little” I.C.E. – honestly I can’t believe it myself. I have been anti weight for so long, [...]

After clearing out of Peter’s in the morning, we hop the subway across town to our next hostel/hotel, Sakura Hotel. We check in to what we think will be a 2 person room but end up with a 5 person room to ourselves! We drop our gear and head off to the largest temple in [...]

Note to Reader: I changed format a bit and placed pictures at the bottom since there were so many to share. Saturday morning, I rise at 5 am and walk outside the drivers shack to find car after car after car lined down the street and packing the parking lot. 12 hours before the parking [...]

So the next morning, we power down to town and grab some food from the konbini (convenience store) and get back to the track as it opens. We gut the food and get down to business. We have a full day ahead of us: oil cooler/filter relocation kit, water temperature gauge, attempt to fix Omori [...]

Back in June, my brother, Steven, approached me with an idea for a trip. The idea involved me traveling over 12,000 miles, driving on the edge, 10 hours of jet lag either direction, and the potential for good times and good stories…hmmmm, naturally I was in. So where was all this going down? Japan…

Before we get to the rest of the Japan trip and Drift Matsuri pics and such, we wanted give a big thank you to all who supported our semi-last minute Red Cross fundraiser! All said and done, we raised just over 100 dollars ($106 to be exact) that will be donated to the Japanese Red [...]
Help Japan and Rep at Drift Matsuri!!!
Posted in Brickhouse Products, Greg, Steve on July 22, 2011 | 1 Comment »
In thinking of ways to give the car some character for Matsuri, we’ve come up with a plan that we couldn’t be more stoked about. We are “selling” spots on the car for your names and stickers in exchange for donations to the Japan Red Cross. Kind of like buying a sponsorship spot on a [...]

Greg and I will be making the trek to Ebisu for Drift Matsuri Round 2 next month! The details are finally getting sorted out so I thought I’d share what we’ll be driving – or destructing – during our stay. This is the Sil80 that Powervehicles lined up for us. Heaps sick, right? Right?!?!?
