new wheels. [bbs content]

2009-02-10T21:37:00.002-05:00

Picked up another set of wheels today, 16x7 et42, 4x100 BBS RX's, was a steal to say the least. Couldn't have passed it up, though it won't be going on the Fit. Friggen scratched the wheels already when it rolled around and hit my rear strut bar mount in the Fit. MEGA GAY. Oh well, I guess I'll have to refinish it later in some other colour.

Endless PRO SHOP!!!!

vancouver part III (ajr).

2008-12-09T00:14:00.002-05:00

Went to check out A&J Racing today (www.aj-racing.com), in Richmond. Wasn't too bad of a ride on public transit, like 20 mins on the Skytrain and another 20-25 mins on the bus. Pretty easy to find the shop, it's right near the Ikea in Richmond. Anyways, got to ride in their time attack turbo Fit, quick car! Makes me want a turbo, my NA Fit just feels like even more crap now.

Too lazy to upload pics so a link can be found here in my forum post:

vancouver part II.

2008-12-07T20:42:00.006-05:00

Went to Metrotown today in Burnaby, it's an alright mall, nothing particularly special about it. Reminds me of Yorkdale kinda, it's pretty big, has all the usual assortment of stores that you would find at a gwai lo mall in Toronto, though, they had Sakura Media, as well as some car accessory shop beside it. Rather uncharacteristic of such a large mall. Sakura Media sells assortments of anime/manga related products, as well as Jpop CD's etc: http://www.sakuramedia.com/
Also went to The Crystal, or something like that today... a Chinese mall... it was also alright, kinda reminds me of Metro or something... with small stalls for stores. Anyways, the rest of the pictures are from Queen Elizabeth park, it's pretty nice there actually, it's nice to be able to see a bulk of Vancouver from the peak sorta thing. Didn't get much a chance to walk around too much though but it was alright. Would visit again.

first two days in vancouver.

2008-12-06T23:46:00.013-05:00

So the first leg of my trip brings me to Vancouver. Haven't done too much exploring, though I doubt I'll get very much done anyways in the couple days that I have left here. The view is quite nice from where I'm staying, right by downtown. Everything is pretty convenient, quite walkable, and is a lot more scenic than Toronto. Nice amount of baller cars too. Everything is more expensive though, compared to Toronto.

Forgive me for using Photobucket for hosting the pics, when you click the thumb, click the larger image at Photobucket again to bring it up to full size/100%. I'm still trying to figure out what to host with.

Had to show Honda some love VVVVVVVVVVV

2008-12-04T16:24:00.003-05:00

Leaving to Vancouver tomorrow morning. Awesome. Hope to be visiting AJ-R (www.aj-racing.com) when I get there, and hopefully from this point on the blog will be updated more frequently. :)

Otherwise, enjoy the two pics of this awesome S2000, from Korea I'm assuming. (Photos was taken from S2Ki, I forget who posted it though)

2008-09-16T20:51:00.004-04:00

Full vinyl graphics for this R32 GT-R, can't say I love the MY Racing graphics but this one is probably one of the cleaner looking colour schemes (silver/black/grey), vs. their orange, yellows and blues (bleh). Got to move the car around too, interesting driving RHD, haven't really tried ever since I went to HK/Macau last year (drove a Corolla in Macau for a bit). Anyways, onto the pics:

Shoes galore day. Picked these Evisu Sumera's up in gold on the weekend. LOVING the details. Thanks to gg for finding it for me, I actually was looking at another pair of Sumera's (I think) that were brown + polka dotted. lol. Don't ask.

new shoes [not for me] ver II.

2008-09-15T18:16:00.006-04:00

Copped another set of shoes for the Fit. Was digging these the first time I saw 'em, but never really found a set until recently, I just had to pick them up over the CP-F's I was looking at around the same time. 15x7, et.35... should sit pretty flush for the Fit. I hope it doesn't rub. But anyways, they're ... CARVING LOVER SOUL's. :D

2008-09-14T19:56:00.003-04:00

Cut these out at work a couple weeks ago. Damn that's a lot of pedo bears....

Brown can't do much for me.

2008-09-10T20:48:00.002-04:00

My God, UPS is the worst ever. Waiting on a package of wheels, somehow they get $1100 declared value mixed up as $2200 declared ($1100 per 2 wheels), when it was supposed to be $600 in total for all 4 wheels (seller's fault). That means I have to pay $400~ of brokerage and duties on wheels that I only paid $1000 for, and was supposed to be declared as $600. If everything adds up, I SHOULD be paying $100 or so for duties and brokerage. On top of that, their re-rate department sucks balls. After 20 or so phone calls, plus numerous faxes from the shipper, nothing has gotten resolved yet. Fredericton Tele Servicing (UPS' re-rate department) is horrible at getting faxes, they got one of the dozen or so faxes that have been sent, and that fax was deemed "missing information". You guys fail. At life.

So, so far, this is what I have collected from J's Racing. Quality parts. What can I say, I love J's.

i want a pet.

2008-04-27T18:31:00.003-04:00

Interesting to see a puppy named after such an uncommon, unpetlike name like my name, Galen. I feel a special connection to this puppy. If only I could pick it up, would be awesome.

lol you old fart.

2008-04-23T17:54:00.004-04:00

Haven't blogged in awhile but will get back to normal once I rest up. Just finished school for the term, and it feels FANTASTIC. So anyways, I just gotta say, the old fart in the black RX8 that cut me off turning left from a lane that goes straight, you suck. You're half dead, go get a Buick or something. Driving like an asshat in an RX8 is something I expect someone of my age to do.

new shoes [not for me].

2008-03-11T17:42:00.006-04:00

Haven't blogged for awhile due to school being extremely FTL, but the wheels finally came in... though they're nothing special.. 15x6.5 gold Konig Daylites (INGS+1 TS06 reps). Can't wait for spring to come and put them on the car, along with the other dozen things I have sitting around. Winter is almost as FTL as YSDN. ._.

Pic of the INGS+1 TS06 at the bottom. They do look different due to the fact that INGS+1 doesn't make the TS06 in anything other than 18 and 19", and my wheel is a mere 15". :(
Note* Funny how the Konigs even have the TS06 stamp around the lip of the wheel.

j's racing 50rs

2008-02-24T23:14:00.006-05:00

mmmm... so it's finally here. The J's Racing 50rs axle back exhaust. So glad it arrived just before the weekend on Friday, got some time Saturday morning and installed it, though I do plan to take it off in a few days again and leave it off till spring. The exhaust is pretty light. Pretty easy to hold it up with a finger. Installation was pretty easy too, just undoing two bolts as well as removing the hangers off the stock axle back and then doing everything in reverse order. Thanks to my 4x4 mode, didn't even have to jack to car to install.

As for the noise this thing makes, it's pretty loud in cabin, not the loudest of course, but there is a bit of drone, but it's acceptable. Haven't heard the exhaust from outside the car yet but hopefully in the next few days I'll get that chance.

new projectors.

2008-02-21T19:04:00.003-05:00

Picked up a set of Q45's today, too good of a deal, couldn't pass it up. Bleh, seems like this is becoming a trend. Need to sell off some of the other projectors I've collected over the years as well... TSX and TT (E46) projectors, so if anyone is interested let me know. Hopefully this time around I'll actually do the retrofit. Can't keep wasting money forever and collect projectors. ¬_¬

lol.

2008-02-19T12:52:00.003-05:00

Was at a mall over the weekend, not exactly looking for anything but low and behold, found some Evisu Shoos that were on sale. I couldn't resist, had to pick a bunch up. ¬_¬

Picked up: Velkuza, Kodaku, Naino, and Dowtai.

what [laptop] i use.

2008-02-18T13:21:00.010-05:00

At the moment I'm using:
12" G4 Powerbook @ 1.33ghz
768mb of ram
60gb hdd

Decided to upgrade to OSX 10.5 last week, which ended unfortunately, screwing up. Install went perfectly fine but upon restarting, it just wouldn't fully load. Stuck with the rainbow spinning wheel. Yay for buggy Apple software. Ended up having to do a format + fresh install in order for it to work again. Lost a year or two's worth of work due to this, though it's my fault for not backing up before upgrading the OS. I thought I could trust Apple with something like this. Contemplated picking up a new *PC* laptop cause I'm sick of my crappy Apple experiences. After having a 4th gen iPod die a month or two out of warranty, as well as a 2nd gen iPod Nano die again, out of the one year warranty, this is becoming too much. Apple FTL.

But of course after loading up OSX 10.5 things change. It's just so nice looking. Hard to say no to it. Although the laptop IS getting old and slow, I suppose using it for a bit longer would be the financially responsible thing to do. I did look at a Sony NR series laptop that was on sale at Best Buy for $800, which was pretty nice looking, clean design, decently fast. Pretty good review here, though their laptop is spec'ed differently. Almost pulled the trigger, but ended up spending on that J's 50RS axle-back exhaust for the Fit. Oh well, perhaps later in the summer would be a better time to pick a new laptop up.

what this is about

2008-02-17T22:51:00.001-05:00

Couple hours after the first post, I realize it'll probably be a good idea to introduce what this is about. This blog will focus on cars, technology and a bit of graphic design, some of the few things in life I'm passionate about. Some things I find interesting in everyday life will also be thrown into the mix. So really, this blog will be about much. I hope you like it.

Speaking of random, oh why does Valentine's and the AJ-racing winter/spring sale have to be at the same time. My wallet hurts. (I hope Ben@AJ-R doesn't mind me stealing that pic of the 50RS... I did order one from you guys!! :) )

hi.

2008-02-17T21:08:00.000-05:00

I hope this doesn't become another failed attempt at blogging. Thought I'd just start this one off with a couple hilarious (well, at least I find it funny) things I've seen lately.

Why would you even think about putting a vectorized picture of yourself on a sign like this? Too cheap to pay a few extra bucks to have a real photograph printed? Strangely enough a couple weeks later after eating at a restaurant I stumbled across her office, with the EXACT SAME VECTORIZED PICTURE. I would've thought at least for something like your office you'd be inclined to spend a bit more.
