Bunny Hop Your Local Tweaker To Flat

The skate park tweakers under Kellogg normally clear out by 7:00am or so, but this guy kept the party going well into the afternoon having discussions with China, finding a good spot to light up, and dancing/rapping (?). Oblivious to anything going on around him, I decided to snag a photo of me bunny hopping over him to flat when he decided to set up shop in the bowl to fight the wind. Sadly some "hero" mom called the cops and he got hauled away before he came down and I could thank him for the hours of entertainment.

Integra Distributor Leaks

 Took the integra out a couple of a weeks ago and noticed a bunch oil all over the firewall. Changed the distributor o-ring and still had issues. The cap had oil in it so I changed the distributor shaft seal. Took a while to arrive since I had to order one, but it came in a few days ago and I got it installed over the weekend. Problem solved and way cheaper than buying a new distributor that I only use part of since I have the C.O.P. conversion.

Thirty for Thirty

I made it to level 3 this year and decided to film thirty clips in 3 hours on the morning of my birthday. Otis and I got to the park around 7:30am just in time to hangout with all the crackheads. After they cleared out I set the camera on my camera bag and got started. Here's a short video of the results. Nothing too crazy since I'm terrified of knocking myself out when riding solo, but whatever; 30 clips is a lot of fucking work. 

Here's to another 30 years on two wheels!

Good Enough

Still need to yank the core support over to get the hood to latch, but it's good enough for now and it doesn't look THAT bad I suppose. Headlights even work! Now two of my three running cars are hoodless...time to get the integras painted and FINALLY installed 4-5 years later.

New front LCAs, driverside UCA and long bolt, tie rod ends, ball joints, tie rods, and steering rack up replaced up front. Feels decent even with my eyeball alignment. Hoping Alec can get it sorted out here in a few weeks before the Mac Park event mid-September. I also put the godspeed rear UCAs on while I was at it since this thing needs a full alignment anyway and I want to see how minimal rear camber feels. I'm ready to rip this thing again. Shouts out to Alec for making me put this back together.

The new miatas pre mandrel bent DOM tubing spec miata cage parts came in, waiting on the straight DOM tubing to get here and I'll be starting that soon.Updates whenever it's worth it.

Fast & Loose

I recently went on a week long work trip to Ohio for some training and brought my copy of PBOD to finally dive into on the plane. I notoriously take months if not years to finish a novel. Not because it's a burden or anything; I love reading, but when I'm not at work I'm on the road a lot and am rarely the passenger, so it can be challenging to dedicate even a half hour to reading when I have a million other things going on when I'm not traveling.

I despise flying, but was looking forward to it this time around because this has been sitting on my coffee table as a coaster while I was finishing Orwells 1984 again. I won't spoil any details, but the book is fucking fantastic. This might be the fastest I've ever finished a book; just before reaching my layover in Chicago. The "Quality Content" list to the right of this page has a link to the Fast & Loose web store if you want to grab a copy, which I highly recommend. BMX needs more crews like this who aren't worried about gaining likes or followers, but more worried on chasing the never ending stoke and making memories with your friends.
