Recently, I slowly began to work on my car again...
Trying to fix some of the mickey-mouse job I did to make the
event at Formula D Long Beach a few weeks ago.

I re-clocked the compressor housing so that the silicone hosewas not touching the exhaust manifold... (what a good idea!)
And made some minor change to the I/C piping thanks tolots of help from Scott at SPD Metal Works.
Now, none of the pipes should pop off at 1.4bars of boost !!!
After some wrenching on my car, I had a reservation withMiki-san and Ken-chan to go to Manpuku to fill our empty stomach !
Going out to eat definitely empties my wallet, but it's always great
to eat good food with good friends !
And after eating tons of meat, I searched up a local Yogurt Landand filled up our "sweet spot" in our stomach too (^0^)/
Both Miki-san and Ken-chan is at hot hot Atlanta now for
the 2nd round of Formula D.
I have never missed competing in Formula D since it began in 2004,
so it really feels wierd and crappy that I'm sitting at home checking
the status on my internet... Hope I can go back to competing the
full schedule next year !!
Hiro I know how weird (and heartbreaking) it feels to miss a competition... good luck getting back into the full schedule!
ReplyDeletewhat's up Benson ! where have you been ?
ReplyDeleteyeah, hopefully things will get better towards the latter part of this year and next year too!!
Been busy raising a baby and buying a house! You know... the boring "normal" person stuff.
ReplyDeleteFinding funding must be hard during this recession... wish you the best!
Benson, I like how you said "normal person stuff". hahahaha...
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel you too Hiro. I have not missed a round since 2004 until stepping away in the middle of the 2007 season. Then all I do is "normal person stuff" and felt weird ever since (insane at times). I am trying so hard to contain the drift bugs inside me so I don't go too crazy at work!!
I think we should form a group to discuss how to deal with the withdrawal symptoms of the drift bugs.
Hubert
what's up Hubert. good to see you at D1.
ReplyDeleteyeah, we should start a club, "normal person stuff doing drifter" club. good thing about drifting is you can enjoy it at various levels of commitment ;)
