Update: "A Million Miles an Hour"
Were still working on the Redline Promo code ! But it IS in the works! Sorry for the delay!
Also, Just gonna photo Dump as fast as possible ... But I'm headed to Formula Drift Texas till this Sunday, and then Off to South Africa With Mike for some Promo Events!!
Had to pull my car out of the paint booth donating time.. as it was really really holding things up progress wise and Was NOT working out. Dropped the car off 2 days ago with a Trusted long time Friend who actually painted the car last time. Aaron Valencia ....the Founder of the "Lost Angels Childrens Project" a Non-Profit Organization... will be painting the car Now! I'll just say it was a bit of a night mare. But the Wolf Rips Hard!!!
Getting Tires Mounted at Andy's Tires in Monteclair! He always takes care of me!
Had a flat tire on the Trailer.... HAD to fix it..
This is where Epic Colors left off.... A base coat. I had 3 days before Top Drift Round 4 and The car still wasn't finished due to the place donating Booth Time not working out the way they had said. So I went with Ray (owner of Epic Colors) And we went and picked up my car from The Facility. Ray is donating Paint for the Car, and does not own the Booth Facility Nor anything at that facility in general. He is ONLY the Paint Supplier.
Needed to Bleed My Brakes and Clutch System.... Just wasn't feeling right..
Redline RL-600!!! This stuff is the Best!
Gross old fluid
While I was at it... My Diff was making a weird noise... and it DIDN'T sound good... Pulled it out..
and found this..
Here's what 2 and a Half years of hard drifting does to a Ring Gear and Pinion
Old Vs New
Cleanup Time!!

Continued: (Part 2)
New Ring and Pinion on the New Diff Case with a BRAND NEW Carbonetic Carbon 2-Way LSD!! Excited about this!!
Shimming Process I used RedBull Cans to get it Juuuust Right on the Dial Indicator But first needed to Push Bearings on.
Lock Tight Red Here only!
Abel Got on the Dyno and we developed a Small Leak on the front Semi Intake Port..
So I cut up some more Red Bull Cans haha
Ended up missing the Last round of Top Drift ROund 4.. It just wasn't worth rushing it. But got to watch my Buddy Sean Get a Pro 2 Formula Drift License!! Congrats Sean AND Adam!!
After the Event I decided to swap Clutchs as well... I have a Brand new one needing to go in.. So I figured since I did the New Diff.. I'd do the Clutch as well!!
Brand New Exedy Cerametallic Twin Disc!!! Woo!!

Because I have a new clutch... and usually when a part needs to be maintained or there is a failure.... it's during a time that is inconvenient i.e at the track during a competition qualifying or battles. I don't like paying for track time and using that time to trouble shoot. I also like knowing that everything is 100% Fresh. I Was planning on selling my used unit but I'm now thinking i'll be using it as a spare. JUST in case!

Part 5: "let the pictures tell the thousands of words."
Me and Dave Lindour.... aka SuperWow Factory =-)!!

The Goodies
We started Immediately!
Decided to make a Lower Intake Manifold Heat Barrier out of my PTP High Temp Mat Barrier...came out Great!
ayyyy
Boba and SuperWow Vinyl!
Brandong at the shop!
This guy's attention to Detail is Level Insanity. He'd Measure each 4 point to ensure both sides were 100% Symmetrical... CRAZY...but I'd have no one else!!! =-)
Hood Coming Together!
Dave!

Part 7: "Let the Pictures Tell the thousands of Words."
I Didn't sleep the last night of Irwindale.. got to the track at 8 AM... Left Irwindale at 10 PM after the Event.. Hauled over to my trailer storage to pick up my Trailer, then to the Shop to pick up the wolf.. But Had Vinyl to install and track prep to get ready for Super D matsuri at Grange Motorsports park the next morning. This would be the 3rd All Nighter i've pulled this week. Not particularly Healthy.. But necessary to get everything done. And also a testament that this is NOT possible without the help of others!!
I was able to make it to grange in the Morning... but Only turned 2.5 Laps and the car died. Had a small engine fire that fried my injector wiring. Luckily the damage wasn't too bad..and I was bummed I wasn't able to drive with the rest of the Rippers!
But it was at least good to be back out there! And the car ripped for a lap haha.
My Boy Jesse!!! Solid sharing pit space with good peeps!
I had to pull over on the way home from Super D Matsuri because I was dozing off... Sometimes you just have to say "ok, body... you win." and get some damn rest. Took a quick 30 Min Nap in a random shoping center parking lot and booked it to the Formula Drift Banquet with Mike and the Team!
Had a good time...and it was nice to wrap up the FD year. Mike got 3rd place inthe World Championship!
Woke up the next morning and got the car back into the shop to get started in prep to fix the issues. I've got All Star Bash to prep for! I'll only be able to make Sunday because my best friend is getting married on Sat night. But I HOpe to see some of you guys out there!
Exedy for the win! I love these stickers!
Almost Complete!!
Helping out a buddy Fix some of his Engine Fire Wiring woes... took 4 hours of cutting sections, inspecting soldering etc to get it all back to 100%.
This was Last night.. So i'm happy to announce that I'm actually current on the thread finally!
Thank you guys for your Patience!!
Stay Tuned!!
More Updates soon!!

But I guess the right way would be to flash freeze it.. However some of it we did..and some of it we didn't. It was Straight Butter though... So good!!
