Super Street Magazine Interview - March 07 Issue
One day after the November 2006 Time Attack, Carter Jung from Super Street calls me up and asks me if I want to do an interview. I said cool so he tells me it's going to be a one page deal. After the interview, he and the other editors thought it was so damn funny that they decided to make it 3 pages. Then they ask me a couple more questions to fill the 3rd page. My answers are long and they think that my shit talking is so funny, it turns into 4 pages. I'm not actually shit talking; I'm just speaking the truth. Any of my personal friends will tell you its the same shit I would say in real life. Read it and enjoy! So go out and buy the MARCH 2007 SUPER STREET MAGAZINE<...

Girls at Tokyo Auto Salon 2007
I am severly suffering from a crazy hangover today. I went to my friend's (Nathan at Motec) b-day party/dinner at Garlic Jo's in Newport Beach, CA. The food kicks ass there. I mean the food is REALLY good. After dinner, we ended up going to a bar/club called Detroit in Costa Mesa afterwards and that place was pretty cool too. Needless to say, my friends and I got way faded and I headed back to Torrance with a friend where we continued drinking and stuff until 8am. After the post drinking breakfast, I went to sleep at 10:30am. I'm getting too old for this shit, but it's hella fun while you got the fade on...
Back to the subject at hand. Some of my co-workers and friends...
Tokyo Auto Salon - Best Cars
I know this is late, but oh well. Better late than never. Below are the dopest cars I saw this year at TAS. To be honest, there was more fashion stuff than I hoped to see. What happened to 1990's JDM when everything was just RAW ASS HORSEPOWER? American raw ass horsepower is no fun; they only use it a 1/4 mile at a time. 1990's JDM is my favorite because they USE the power on the street. There were too many fish tanks, chrome wheels, and vans this year.

NASCAR
Somebody put this up on the cork board at Cosworth. I enjoy NASCAR (or at least the last 20 laps), but I thought this was pretty damn funny.NonAthletic [Read the rest of this article...]
Tokyo Auto Salon 2007
I got to Tokyo on Thursday the 11th. I cruised the show with Toshi and my friend Jeff. Some cool stuff here as usual. More pics soon!...
New JDM Insider is out......
I'm sure you guys know by now that "The Kanto Tuners" is out. The trippy part is that even though I'm in it, I HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET. I guess I'll have to buy one to watch myself. What a gyp! It's available from 360 video or XS Engineering. This is more Phil's baby so you should get it from 360, but if you want to pick up a turbo while you're at it and get free shipping then buy it from XS!...

American Touge 3
Yesterday was Best Motoring Video's American Touge 3 at the Horse Thief Mile @ Willowsprings Raceway. The drift king and kazama were there to drive American's "best" tuned cars. Greg from XS and I brought out the XS BNR32 since the BNR34 GT-R is now retired. The headlining theme of AT3 was supposed to be the Mine's BNR34 GT-R Japan "Touge Monster" vs the XS Engineering BNR32 USA "Touge Monster". Unfortunately after I warmed up the car and took the car for a quick drive to check the boost, a rod bearing failed. I think it was from the extreme G's at high speed tracks from Time Attacking that led to oil starvation. Anyhow, it ended up being the Cosworth/Dyno-Comp STi which is a mo...
Cool shit at PRI
PRI is pretty dope. There are a lot of real deal race parts here. What I like checking out are the exotic parts. Enter the AP carbon race rotors, pads, and monoblock calipers. You can buy multiple CARS with how much these brakes cost. They are designed for prototypes, ALMS P2 & 675 race cars, LeMans, and other balls out racing. I love this shit.
Performance Racing Industry Show
I'm in Orlando, Florida now for the PRI show for Cosworth. BTW, I work at Cosworth now developing performance parts for their street engine department. It's a pretty exciting job working at a true motorsports engine manufacturer. I still help out at XS of course. Anyhow, this is my first time at the PRI show and I can say that it's pretty damn sweet. Especially if you're a hardcore race/car enthusiast. Most of it is NASCAR/circle track hick stuff, but that stuff is pretty buff too. You gotta respect where respect is due. Any car capable of going 200 MPH around Talladega is buffer than shit. Never mind that the good ol' boys build them. Imagine if the same people built an FD...
