Sold my FD3S on Sunday August 7, 2016.

Was time to part ways and let a new owner continue on with it.

Made tons of friends and have a lot of memories tied to this car.

Possible EVO X MR.

March 2006-August 2016

P R O G R E S S

SSR PROFESSOR SP1
CHROME
F: 18x10J  [+16]  - 255/35/18

R: 18x10.5J  [0]  - 285/30/18

Feet to face

Sold my Rota Grids and spacers and just got these in the mail last week! Just waiting on the fourth rim to arrive and order some rubber.

Next on the list is painting the hood and lights, upgrading the R1 oil  coolers to Sakebomb's upgraded setup, and then a big brake kit (AP Racing). This should be happening throughout the summer. Hopefully ending up with my final tune.

Also got the 335i's new front end, and side skirts on. Really gives it that look. Really happy with this upgrade.

footwork

Got a some new shoes on the way from Japan.

SSR SP1 in Super Black Chrome (SBC):

F: 18x10  +16
R: 18x10.5  +5

I think this is a huge upgrade over the Grids I have which are presently:

F/R:18x9.5 +38

They were effectively; +13F and 0R, with spacers so I can finally get rid of the massive spacers I had to use for the grids and finally run rims with almost perfect offsets. Just gotta wait 5 weeks now, which should arrive around my birthday!

2K13

After a year away from her, got her fired up. Got a couple of plans for her. All up in the air.

digi

Upgraded my camera that I never use from a T3i to a T4i, with a couple new lenses (18-135 STM and the new 40mm STM)

Celsior had issues with its igntion system earlier last week, seems to have fixed itself. Might have a dying coil pack or ignitor, seems to run fine for now tho.

Have been keeping a keen eye out for a used WR250, really want to get a supermoto going. Should be great for work and some fun.

Thats my life for now.

hustle

Just cleaning up the cars. The BMW and FD are ready to be parked for the winter.

Ordering some winters for the Celsior this week and mounting them on my stock 16x8 FD rims. Should suffice over winter. Starter/Alarm are in and work like a dream no more cold mornings. I also ordered a DDM 9004 Hi/Lo HID kit, should brighten up the road a bit more than the dull bulbs it already has.

King

Wet

Just turned 26. Gosh I feel old.

Been riding the R6 for the past couple weeks, rain or shine. I really appreciate this machine. I never really put too many K's on it last season. I'm making sure I don't let that happen this year. This year is focused on seat time and getting new gear all leather; full protection.

The 335i is getting some new rubber, and a coil pack. Still my daily nothing else but basic maintenance for it. Flashed my Procede to the newest firmware, pulls a lot harder.

FD is waiting to be transplanted into my current house waiting on a driveway, maybe I'll have time work on her this year. I've been thinking of doing something different. A lot of local cars have been getting the Feed 'style' front end and I really don't want to fall into the mainstream look. Might even think of a LS6/T56 swap, growing tired of the 6 years of having the rotary. None-the-less she is my dream project car.

Work has been really busy/stressful so not much time to tinker around as much as I used to be able to.

Need a driveway badly!

Wake up

Winter is coming...

perplexin

Prolly going to bring the FD out again. Kinda iffy on how shes going to run. Shes gonna need some TLC.

miss you bb

Sleeping Beauty

Pretty much miss the FD. She's sleepin'. On a side note, I got a sweet deal on some aggressive BBS CH's for the bimmer! This is a pic of them on the sellers car. I'm super pumped can't wait for spring to come.

hei

Cars been parked for awhile now. House is down for a full renovation so my garage was nullified. Will be grabbing the car and doing some normal maintenance. Took the Accord in yesterday for a full long needed tune up. Thinking about trading her in for a Fit lulz. Will clean up the FD this weekend and snap some pics. She needs some lovin.

Whoa

Dave @PerfectStance just put my car up as a feature. Wooooo! Check it out HERE.

Big ups to Dave, have been following his site for a long time, and it's growing fast!

updating

Sold my PLX R-500 to a good friend for his project rb26 s14 and just ordered up my new PLX DM-100 with the Wideband and EGT sensor modules. I've always loved my R-500 super legit, tons of features, but it was just  to bulky. I was going to opt for the 60mm DM-200 gauge from PLX but I figure a nice small 52mm would be better and give me more areas to mount it. Should be here in a week or so. Will update as soon as I get it.

Clean up

Tore into the car again was fed up with the dirt built up in the engine bay. Also gives me a chace to get some parts powder coated :). Ordering some new toe links soon since my current ones are fubard. Will post pix once the parts are back from coating.
