It's all in my head

So I haven't posted in a while cause I've been really busy. Nothing special, but with life in general. Good news is that my custom lights are finally coming in and it should be here by Friday. Their schedule to be installed on Monday and I'm pretty stoked! My Jun mirrors also came in last month as well and they really make the car stand out. I'm having another photo shoot with Stephen (SH Studios) on the 19th along with a white 2009 R1. He did an awesome job on my first shoot, so I had to use him again. I'll be sure to post up pics in the gallery once I'm done.

My car is also entered in theMach V Mega Colossal Meet & Charity Car Show IV on August first and I'm expecting to do well. It's not a huge car show, but it's for charity, so what can I say. Oh, if you're wondering what the lights are going to look like, check out the youtube video below. It should set my car apart from all the other Evo's in the area. Peace!

If you were wondering whatever happened to these lights. I did receive them in the mail, but the lights were damaged during shipping. I did send them back CinCity where they fixed, but the lights where damaged again when I received them. I ended up just getting a refund and decided to pass on the whole deal. They do really good work, but they should really take a second look at their shipping procedures. It would save them and their customers a lot of headaches as I heard this is a common theme with them. Oh, well, onto the next project.

I came across this website while listening to podcast by the 404. It's basically a social experiment where these guys put a cell phone with a camera that automatically takes pictures when people (women) smile on a dogs collar. They basically want to find which breed has the most "puppy pulling power" to help "Pete" get a girlfriend. It's one of the best uses of a cell phone camera I've seen so far.

The day started with me almost missing the 12:30 showing of Star Trek. I miss calculated the time it would take me take me for me to get there. I did leave until almost noon to what would normally be 30-40 min drive. I popped the car into "S-mode" and got there in about 20 min. I rode the car pretty hard and it was either because of that or when my car put on the dyno that I noticed that my rear diffuser of my driver side exhaust pipe had melted! Then on the way home, a clamp from my upper intercooler pipe became loose and I lost all boost. Had to fix that when I got home. I guess you have pay to play right?

I got to Mach V pretty late. Most of the cars had left by then and the only people that were left were the ones waiting to go on the dyno. The car ended up doing 259HP 7 262TQ, which I don't think is that bad considering I only have a catback exhaust. I'll throw some pics from the dyno in the gallery and you can watch my pull below. By the way, Star Trek is a movie definitely worth seeing!!!

Here's a follow video of the Mac V dyno meet.

Last week, I ordered one of TiLite's 10th anniversary commemorative wheelchair's. The Z10

Technology

The Z10's frame is hand crafted from seamless, 3-2.5 aerospace-grade titanium.

Tapered rear struts. They are angled towards each other, placing them in tension. This makes the chair laterally stiffer, further rigidizing the frame and enhancing responsiveness.

The new backrest hinge integrates seamlessly into the frame tube, creating the illusion of a single, continuous tube flowing from the backrest to the footrest. This hinge locks in the open position and in the closed position. From the closed position, the chair may be lifted conveniently from the backrest. 

TiLite's new single-sided fork integrates with the Bullet Caster Housing.

Aesthetics

All carbon fiber components are tinted to match the selected anodize color.

Custom Spinergy LX wheels are all black with spoke anchors accented to match the selected anodize color

Tattos show case titanium by permanently imprinting one of three unique graphic patterns onto the titanium: Flora and Fauna, Skulls and Flames, or Circular Retro.

Lastly, every Z10 is fitted with a water jetted titanium serial number indicating it's position within the limited edition of 110.

Why the Z10? Sure, I could get a less expensive chair that would get the job done and could probably get it covered by insurance. I know it's an accessory for my ass and if I can afford, then why not? The build time is about 4 weeks, so I hope to have it in the beginning of June. So, I have 1 of 110. That only leaves 109, bitches!!! Peace!
