This is a test using a new app from my phone since the wordpress app sucks on the iPhone. Hope this serves me well.

Here’s some in-car driving/racing footage from different cars and tracks in Japan.  Nothing really special but just pretty dope especially listening to the sounds the cars make.  Love that Altezza and that FD sound.

Here’s the HKS Altezza Drifting Around..

FD3S by D-Dream in Fuji Speedway driven by NOB

G-Force Evo X driven at Tsukuba Time Attack

Some J’s Racing S2000 Action at Suzuka

To all my friends and family, A very Merry Christmas!!!!  I hope everyone is safe and having a great time with their loved ones.

Not too happy with the whole Hancook Livery tho.  I prefer how it looked like when it was bare carbon.  See lemme ask you this.  A woman’s bare ass or a woman wearing a tutu?  I rest my case.

The new STI tS.  I dig it.  A lot.  And yes that is a carbon roof.  Among other things, carbon wise not roof wise since there’s only one.  Love the Silver.  I’m a sucker for that color. The tS line will have a carbon roof, extra added under braces, front and rear braces and also some more carbon bits on the front and rear bumper.  STI tS will also have a lighter aluminum hood and wheels made specifically for this model.  Wait for it to come out on January 25 of next year.  tS line is pretty much all the comfort but all the power and fun of the Spec C that was previously limited.

From now on tho, the STI Spec C is no longer a limited edition since they’re bringing it back into production this coming year.  Spec C is lighter faster and more agile than the tS and other STI models and also both are available with their A-Line.  Spec C is a result of European Group N homoloation rules that is is that on simple terms, build a race car or a rally car that is street-able.  And that’s what the Spec C is all about and finally, it’s available but only in Japan.  Why are we so unlucky and not get these cool cars… bleh!  I do love that tS roof tho.  Soooo dope!

There’s an app for the iPhone called holographium which is a 3D light painting app that creates pretty cool looking holographic-ish images. Well text at least. So last night at about 3am, I tested It out.  After a few minutes I realized how dumb I probably looked but the effects are very satisfying. Check it!

It does require you to have a camera that’s capable of a shutter speed 5 seconds or longer. So my trusty sidekick 5D to the rescue.

This is… umm… I don’t know her name but she’s from Miss Earth 2010 from Vietnam and she’s ridiculously cute.  And with that being said, it’s time to sleep.  Peace!

After a few long months the PROPER Top Gear is finally back.  Just finished watching Season 15 Episode 7 I believe and it’s nothing short of epic.  SLS v. 458 v. GT3 RS driving round the east coast to NY.  Still much better than it’s US counterpart, Top Gear will never cease to make me jealous.  I want their job.  It’s probably one of the best job ever.  Right next to a lotion applicator to super models.  Still, I think I’ll take this job first.  Who am I kidding… Put them together and now you’re talking my language.

Spoiler alert!  There was no Stig found… They really hated him and all throughout the show it’s them bashing the Stig.  Pretty funny actually.  There’s even a part of a challenge where they had to do a drive by and shoot the Stig.  Well, not the real one of course but it’s cardboard counterpart which some say still has a wang the size of a sub sandwich and brushes it’s cardboard teeth.. with fire and not get burnt…

NOB’s S15 is pretty.  No one better indeed…  Even when it’s on a flat bed…  Actually I don’t know what that thing is.  Flatbed of a truck?  A dyno?  No idea.  All I heard was this car was traded for a Scion TC… God no!  That’s a nightmare that I wouldn’t want to have.  I would slap Taniguchi in the face so hard that he’ll travel forward in time to his future self and be slapped by his future self back to the present.  That’ll knock some sense into that guy….

… Wait what am I talking about again?  Oh.. Prettyyyyyy……

I’ve always thought of the RX-7 as a different mythical creature than a dragon, but RE thinks otherwise.  I’ve always thought of it as a chimera.. actually no but that’s the first mythical creature that came to mind.  I don’t know why but it just did.  Do I really have to explain myself?  Although it is pretty fitting.

Here’s 2 angles of the car from below…  well just the left and the right front.  I’m scheming … Hmmmmm

Browsing around the interwebs and looking at random post by Orido-San I came across this monstrosity.  And I meant that in a good way.  Calm down front bumper.  No one is trying to stab you…

This was at the Macao Grand Prix early this year i think.

I’ve never really liked this kit by Uras.  Uras, as we all know is the kit used and owned by Nomuken, Ken Nomura.  It’s the kit he uses on his ER34 for the D1 Grand Prix.  Maybe he has a new alteration or a new style coming this TAS so we’ll see.  The thing is tho is I’ve only seen this kit on a 4dr Skyline.  This is actually the first time I’ve seen it on a coupe.  My verdict?  Meh…

Here’s the comparison with the 4dr Uras Kit.  Well you really can’t see it properly but eh.. That’s what google is for so stop being lazy!

Well now here we go. I guess the iPad has some tricks up it sleeves. Since the iOS only has camera apps and apps that just applies filters, there’s a little ‘ol app that actually does more. The app is called “filter storm.” Yes don’t let the name fool you, this is pretty powerful. It can edit with layers and masks, edit color curves and a bunch of other advanced features. Really cool really. It is $3.99  but trust me it is worth it. Luckily, this app was gifted to me by my homie for Christmas. Hehehe thanks Carlito. This is what his gift said…


Thanks ahole lol
