Clear front indicators.

Garage Star radiator cooling panel.

Short shifter kit.

Installing the short shifter.

More and more goodies in the mail… out of control (it’s a trap!). More on JDMST.

Small update, scored a nice set of used M2 Runabout Mirrors. I’ve always liked these, but I quite like NA8 power mirrors both in looks and function. When these came up for sale a fair bit cheaper than a new set I couldn’t resist. Installation was easy and fun. They’re lovely, but I now can’t see shit!

Door cards had to come off so I could unplug the OEM power mirrors. Easy done once you remove the door handles and door pulls. Pioneer speakers noted.

Twisting the OEM power mirrors reveals 2 bolts for easy removal.

Mirrors installed.

That JDM blue mirror.

St. George TAFE

Posted on 23 August, 2013 by Justin Fox

Doing my thang, sitting down even!

Head Teacher Lydia Kullik and I.

Jason, Krysti and I.

Been a while since I’ve done a proper 1hr student talk. My mate Dan who used to work at Shillington College, and now teaches at St. George TAFE asked me to speak last Wednesday. No matter how many times I speak in public I still get a little nervous the night before, but the class was cozy, intimate even, and I felt super comfortable. I was on fire pretty much lol. Helped that I brought a mate Krysti along and had Jason, one of the car boys in the audience too as he’s a student there.

I got to push Field Trip too, which is filling up fast. Fingers crossed it’ll be a sell out event next Friday!

Nuiguruma

Posted on 22 August, 2013 by Justin Fox

Got a package today in the mail from Japan. It was a massive box but with something so very small and so carefully packed inside. Love the little note too. Love love love the Japanese! So much!

A little nuiguruma of my NA8C (he makes them lovingly by hand and can do your exact car if you like, albeit a lot bigger and more expensive than this little guy!).

So cute! I’ll be hanging him from the left wiper stalk inside the cabin.

Hi-Tec Oils Figure-8 Drift Series

Posted on 18 August, 2013 by Justin Fox

drifting

Last Friday night we set up the Zen stand at round 2 of the Hi-Tec Oils Figure-8 Drift Series. ‘All Stars Street 50″ provided the crowd with a diverse selection of cars to check out during the dinner break (drifters need to eat too you know) and despite the cold weather we had a great night watching the drift action on the Figure-8/peanut track at Sydney Motorsport Park.

NA8C update

Posted on 13 August, 2013 by Justin Fox

I bought a 2nd hand MX-5 Mania intake (same as on my old NA8C) so I had to drill a big hole in the firewall. Red marks the pilot hole (which was existing).
