So,..lets update.
Got the car back from Nocturnal Motorworks. Omars and Dan are bauce,……obviously. Been putting plenty of workseshs in since.
This is what alot of my nights actually looked like tho. Little to no light, headphones,. and alot of just, putting things back together.
Had Omar make me a place to put all my thaangs!
Pretty simplistic is what I was going for,. and as far as random accessories go,. this is all I need. Kill switch, Boost Controller, Defi-Link Control Unit. Will end up being textured and painted black to go with the interior better
Got everything thing together-enough to start pulling it out of the garage, and start working in some day light
Oh yeah, did I mention,..shit runs!! Perfectly Awesome. Still need to get some holes plasma’d in the enginebay, couple random brackets made, and come up with a way to run my dump for the wastegate….aand maybe a couple other things.
Interiors’ getting there. Havent tapped into the tach wire yet to have the Defi work, so I put my old cluster back in just to be sure and watch RPM’s temp and gas levels while I iron things out.
Started putting the front end back together. Was a tight fit with the midmount and new intercooler piping. Pretty crazy to see it coming back together again tho!
Tested to verify that Beastmode still works…..fuck yeah!
…and thats pretty much how she sits at the moment.

Been taking my car to this car wash since it was stock as a peacock. Got a pretty good photo collection of each and every stage of the car, or i guess i should say cars this way,. completely unintentionally.
This is the 1st time ive had everything in fairly good condition, and had a reason to give it a wash for about 2 seasons now! Hopefully many more to come….lol
how’dya like the new ‘diffuser’ i got!?
Origin Stylish (R.I.P) was destroyed last season,….so figured id have fun with this one till i decided on one/replace it
I have plenty i can update as far as wiring, etc….just going to get everything a little more ironed out first.

Rob went and did another drift event in Mineral Wells, TX this weekend. His Chaser has been in Fort Worth ever since we went a couple months back, because the truck that was being used to tow it down there broke, whoops!

MDU Rd. 1 was this weekend in Lousville, KY.. Wait, it was across the river from Louisville.. in… Indiana? Hell I dunno, but I made it and killed some tires!
Matthew Zick was nice enough to come out and get some badass pics, so let’s check ’em out!
FACT: I can’t have nice things! I ended up hitting the wall in practice, but the car drove fine, so I managed to qualify and get into the top 16, haha!
In my lead run, I got totally phased running against Nick in the Track One S14.5, so that brought a quick end to my competition.
Jake, another zenki S14 dude drove down from Michigan!
And Brian Peter came from Wisconsin! There were tons of drivers who drove really far for the event.
Chris Gonzalez came from friggin’ Canada! I guess MDU is really blowing up!
Tom, or T Diddy pictured here in the black coupe made it into the Top 8 on a stock KA! He’s such a consistent driver!
Magic Mike Pollard came out, and ended up running the competition in Chris Naujokas’s S13.5, Mike ended up getting 3rd.
Derek was out in his blue FD RX7. I could not get over how amazing this car looked and sounded!
Kris Hackenson tapped the wall several times, he must have been busy putting that new body kit back on over and over, haha!
It all paid off, though, as he took home 1st place! He and Nick went at it as if their lives depended on it!
Everybody was super stoked when Kris passed the finish line, kept his foot down, and put the side of his car into the wall. It was a very rock star way to finish the day. Kris hobbled the car back to the staging area, jumped up on the car, and shot his signature nipple lasers into the air in celebration, and it was awesome XD
Congrats to Kris, can’t wait to see everybody again soon!
Check out the rest of the pics from the day on Matt’s Flickr!
