Unas. I’m over it.

Posted on 10 August, 2011 by Justin Fox


Chicken Jaeger, see the sauce? That’s pretty much what came out of my ass a few hours later.


The Schoff, always awesome.

So last night some of the boys got together for dinner at Unas. I’ve been a fan of their Chicken Jaeger Schnitzel for years now, but over the years I’ve seen the dish get smaller and smaller, less and less sauce, more and more expensive and just generally worse and worse. Last night was another one of those bad nights. Chicken was thin, tough and the piece under the top piece of chicken was burnt dark brown.

What’s worse is that when I got home I had a stomach ache, after I recovered I got a message from Garth saying his stomach was killing him and he’d gone to the toilet 3 times already.

FU Unas. Never again!

Fan of the Van

Posted on 10 August, 2011 by Justin Fox

Whilst many people out there get the impression that I’m a good designer, personally I prefer the work of others. One such guy is Mike Stevens (I call him “Van” as that’s been his username on JDMST since the beginning).

A while back Christina and I got Van to design the VWGolf.net.au logo (which we’re very happy with) and since we’ve opened up JDMST to membership I wanted to give our supporters a special edition Supporting Member sticker for their rides.

Van got it done quick, and in my opinion nailed it first go. I love it! I’m sure our supporting members will love it too.

New Top One Auto logo design

Posted on 10 August, 2011 by Justin Fox

Yes being naughty and ripping shit off again. Top logo symbol is inspired by the F1 logo, bottom one inspired by the McLaren F1 logo. Cheeky bugger huh? Which one do you like best?

SUGA’s Officially On Air!

Posted on 9 August, 2011 by Justin Fox


Side profile. Front can go down a little more but I didn’t risk it.


Rear at it’s lowest setting.


Not set the preset settings yet so I was using the up and down on both right hand side buttons. 1, 2 and 3 will allow for all the way down setting for parking. 2 will be drivable setting and 3 will be for all the way up (can go a little higher than stock!).


All installed. Audio installation guy has been contacted, he will commence work on hiding all this gear this week.


Here’s a little video.

OK got to say I’m as excited as Christina is now! Just got back from TOP ONE and damn the system is AMAZING. It’s killer fast due to the fatter airlines we optioned for the kit. Just as fast going up as it is down, so fast it’s kinda scary! The compressor is loud, but not too loud, the sound of air releasing in the boot is pretty loud and freaky first time around as well.

I took it lower than Dedy had initially just to see how bad it was at the front, but the rub isn’t all that bad. A thinner tyre will fix it easy. Even with more aggressive offset and a stretched tyre it should be AOK (rim won’t touch, it’s all in the tyres). More soon!

Bags R Us

Posted on 8 August, 2011 by Justin Fox


Wiring mess.

SUGA is still at Top One Auto getting her air suspension installed. Great thing about the R32 Golf is that the battery is in the boot which makes all of this wiring potentially a little easier, and neater. The bad thing is that the rear boot is quite shallow in comparison to an ordinary MKV which means we’ll have to get an audio shop to design a raised cover of some sort to hide all the gear (huge aluminium air tank and compressor not pictured in the above shot).

She’ll be the very first R32 Golf to ever have air suspension in Australia. We won’t be sure of how low it’ll go straight off the bat, we won’t know how well the car will handle after the install too (whether it’ll be totally crap, or AOK). Unknown territory so it’s no wonder that the community is pretty excited about this install. More updates as they come!

WTAC – Saturday

Posted on 6 August, 2011 by Justin Fox


Today, instead of shooting cars I thought I’d shoot single and shy Cam (affectionately known as Tassie Cam after our Tasmania trip) with promo girls. :)


He looks very happy, yes?


Out of all the amazing cars there today Christina’s favorite was this bagged MKV Golf.


Totally out of place, but there was a huge showing of low rider style bikes.


Unridable works of art, pretty much.

WTAC – Friday

Posted on 5 August, 2011 by Justin Fox


Sierra Sierra Evo from the USA.


Hankook Evo.


Too many amazing cars to take photos of so I instead decided to bug people by yelling out their names and taking snaps of them as they turned around. “Charles!”


“Tendy!”

World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC) was on today. Perfect weather, bumped into lots of people, felt very much like I was at a rave! More pics here.
