A Honda Dedicated Blog/E'Publication

Archive for February, 2010

It’s showtime…

Man, alright, just some quick notes…Fuckin need to wake up in like 4 hours to drive to Norcal…that’s gonna be an adventure….

1) Happy Birthday to Big Mike, this dude has had quite a week. Let’s just say, even with all the preparation in the world and all the festivities of all our birthdays happening on the same week, this guy’s car almost didn’t even make it up there but everything worked out, so make sure to check it out at Wek’Fest…

2) Happy Birthday to Jeremy, what a guy…What can you say about this guy that already hasn’t been said about the older more haggered version of Jenna Jameson….Anyways, happy bday man…can’t wait to make some memories up there in Norcal…

3) Shirts are READY!…Well, just the black shirts for now but they will be available at Wek’Fest for you guys to pick up…

4) Stickers will be available!…For those of you who haven’t had a chance to pick them up yet or are just outdated enough to not have access to a Paypal account. These will be available in limited supply. My blade on my sticker machine dulled out because I’ve been overworking it lately so I didn’t get to make as many stickers as I wanted to, so I gotta bring up what I have. If you really want them make sure to come get them at the show…

5) How to find us….It’s simple, we’ll be in the Phaze2 section. Easy way to find me or the Chronicles/Dipped-Parts.com stuff is to look for the Phaze2xDoods Sorcery NSX. It’s the red one, you’ll recognize it…

That’s it guys, with that said, let the adventure begin! See you all soon….


Almost there…

Yes, there hasn’t been any updates lately. That’s because I’ve been frantically helping the homies get their cars and stuff ready for Wek’Fest. I’ve been making sure all the stickers they need are done as well as filling orders from the store. On top of that I’ve also been cutting a bunch of Wek’Fest Edition Chronicles stickers for the event itself. Hopefully people pick some of those up while I’m up there.

Make sure to look out for The Chronicles and Dipped-Parts.com by the Phaze2 cars. We should be in the center along with ATSxDPK and a bunch of the other Socal/Norcal heavy hitters. We might have like a small table or something there with Mikey’s dipped-parts.com stuff on display as well as Chronicles stuff. I might try to knock out that Rotamaster Emo wheel tonight so we at least have something out to make sure that you guys see us. If not, I’m sure you can ask around and people will direct you to the appropriate areas where we will be at. I know it’s gonna be pretty crowded in there but everyone kinda knows everybody and I’m pretty sure everybody can spot Mikey so ask around.

Other than that, everyone is trying to finish up their cars. Many of us would like to drive our cars up but with the impending rain on Saturday/Friday, it might just be safer for some of us to trailer so a lot of guys are frantically looking for trailer/truck combos so that they can have a safe journey up to Northern California. On that note, I’m gonna get back to working on stickers and stuff now. It’s gonna be quite a hectic day of running around. I also have to go pick up the shirts tonight too and am pretty excited about them. I hope they come out the way I designed them ….I guess we will wait and see. Talk to you guys this weekend…It’ll be nice to meet all the new faces and reconnect with some old ones…


Shirts this week!

What’s up guys, I’ve been working on stickers all week in preparation for Wek’Fest as well as doing stickers for a couple friends here and there. I’m just jumping on here real quick to announce that The Chronicles t-shirts will be available by the end of this week and will be available for purchase at this weekend’s Wek’Fest event. After that they will go up on the store. They’re limited in supply so grab these while you can!

Here’s preview of the shirts. They will be available in black or white and will come in sizes S-XL…

And the guys who purchased shirts before and they were sold out, don’t worry! I haven’t forgot about you guys, you guys will get your shirts ASAP once they come in…


Like an electrical appliance, here’s a plug…

Man, that title was an awful way to bring in the week…

Anyways, I had quite the weekend. I was lucky enough to have some incredibly wonderful people in my life throw me a surprise birthday party this past weekend. Everyone said that my facial reaction didn’t really show that I was surprised but to be honest, I was just completely shocked. No one has ever done this for me and I’ve had such bad memories of past birthdays that this just came completely out of left field. It is such a great thing to know that I have people in my life that care enough to do something so kind. In our lifetime, with so many distractions and things to do, I think sometimes it’s very hard to have these moments. It makes you realize the people that really matter. It’s crazy to think that the only time we get to experience these moments is on a birthday or a funeral. All I can say is thank you so much for everyone that showed up, it really means the world to me and I couldn’t have asked for better people in my life. Things have taken such a positive turn this year and I am so looking forward to the rest of it. On that note, I have a HUGE announcement for you guys coming very soon. I am working out the details right now but it’s going to give me an opportunity to see our community in a completely different light. I’m stoked to have the opportunity to do this and if all goes well, man, I don’t even know…shits gonna be awesome.

I’m also terribly busy this week. I think I have some magazine work coming to me and at the end of the week is Wek’Fest, an event that I’ve been waiting for since the last Wek’Fest. I love going to Norcal with my friends and being able to experience the city as well as meet many of you at the show itself. It is going to be a blast and as much as I have to do before that, it will all be worth it when I’m chillin up in Northern California. I’ve been cutting vinyl stickers like crazy just to catch up with all the orders from the store and a majority of my time will be spent this week helping the homies out with their roll calls and sponsor decals for their cars. Good thing my office, vinyl workshop, and bedroom are all one unit…at least I’ll be able to get some rest occassionally.

Before I get back to work, I just want to make sure you guys keep an eye out for the latest issue of Honda Tuning Magazine. They don’t pay me to say this because frankly, they have money invested in more important things. I’m just giving you guys a heads up because Reynard Mauricio’s CR-X is on the cover and the feature came out great. If you aren’t familiar with the history between Reynard and The Chronicles, it all started back in the 2008 Top Ten Hondas List. Chase’s CR-X at the time made the list and Canadians were brewing up a shit storm when they found out. They felt that Reynard’s CR-X was much more deserving. The only problem is, I had barely or never even heard of the guy because he’s up in Canada and generally keeps to himself. He’s not the type to throw himself out there and just whore himself out. Well when I found out about this Reynard, I sent a message to the Canadians to show me pictures of it. If it wasn’t better than I told them I would disown Canada and replace another Canadian on the list, Danville Dingel, with a wooden helicopter or something. It was all bad, these guys were so angry. It was a joke afterall but man, they don’t take jokes very well up there. In the end though, I must say, these guys kinda ate me eat my words. I can’t say it’s better than Chase’s CR-X at the time, because Chase met all my criterias for the list and Reynard was a relative unknown to me, but Reynard’s CR-X is fucking amazing. It’s one of the best builds I have ever had a chance to see and definitely up there with some of the best CR-Xs of all time.

All bullshit aside, check out the magazine this month, it is definitely worth the buy… I’m saying this mainly because I want the community to see this thing and witness the caliber of builds all over the continent…He’s a great embassador for the Canadian Honda community, even if he doesn’t know it. That car is CR-X perfection.

I’m totally gonna plug myself right now too, you knew it was coming. My particular work for this month in the magazine is none other than Morgan’s Civic Type R. We don’t see enough great female builds these days and her car is definitely a heater. The CTR looks great and makes legitimate power as well. Read all about how she came to building the CTR and her story on how much she loves coffee and stuff like that. She’s also got a blog as well so if you guys want to head over there, you can see her talk about the feature and her opinions on everything else car related… She’s a big supporter of what I do here so I gotta give it up to her as well for building a great car…

Make sure to buy it, don’t just pick that shit up and put it down. Chances are you’re gonna put it back down in the wrong spot and the guy at 7-11 is gonna be pissed off about it and wipe his dick on the hot dog buns or something, I don’t know. Just buy the fucking thing. You got money to spend. Look at all the wonderful things that will happen if you buy the magazine: good read, great pictures, you’ll put food on my table, you can show all your friends, you can shit and read, you can learn valuable information, and JO material if you like putting things in exhaust tips. Bad? Uhh, you’re gonna disrupt the entire magazine rack by placing it in the wrong spot, 7-11 employee will be pissed, people are gonna eat hot dogs that have had dick on them because of said employee, you won’t learn shit, and you won’t have  bathroom reading material. Help the world by purchasing magazines. It’s the last great thing we have in our lives. When you get old and look back on your life, the one positive motivating force in your life will undoubtedbly be magazines.

Good day folks.

Grab them now… Oh and if you guys pick up a Wek’Fest Edition sticker, you will have priority and I will make sure you guys get those before Wek’Fest… Thanks for the support guys! New stuff coming soon as well…..

The ongoing Status of Sean…

Just a quick hit for you guys today…seems like Status Sean has finally got around to working on his Integra again. He’s been so busy moving stuff around and organizing things in his new facility that he just hasn’t had much time to touch the car. You guys should be happy to hear that it’s finally off the rotisserie.

I’m sure you guys have grown pretty accustomed to seeing the car on there but yes, he has finally taken it down and began reassembly. What’s been holding him up a bit is waiting for his complete engine harness to arrive. Once that shows up things should be moving at a much faster pace…

If you guys caught a glimpse of some of the older pics, you may have noticed that he had planned to roll on some Desmond Evo Brites but I guess that’s no longer the plan. He sent me these pics of his new wheels and I have to say, I like these a lot more and can’t wait to see them actually on the car and rolling…

Here’s a pic of one of his buddy giving us a glimpse of how it’ll look. Something about the bronze of the TE37s and the khaki color just seems so right….oh man, can’t wait to see more progress on this build, I am every bit as excited as you guys are….

My goal is to get more information and pics from him as soon as I can to update you guys but it’s really up to Sean to get moving on the build. He’s a busy man as usual so I guess we’ll see!….


Actual…Honda…News…?

Ah man, I know there hasn’t really been much to update lately. Mainly because it’s the beginning of the year and well, everyone on this half of the coast is going nuts in anticipation for the 2010 Wek’Fest event. It’s crazy to think that most of us just hang out now and all we can talk about is how anxious we are to go to Norcal. Not only is it coming up soon but my birthday is that week as well along with Big Mike and Jeremy’s. It’s gonna be fun just to be able to get away and explore San Francisco and see good friends as well as meet new faces. All is well and everyone looks to be heading in the right direction as far as getting their cars prepared.

Besides that though, there is actual Honda news from the rest of the world. I know it’s hard to believe but occassionally, on this Honda-dedicated site, there is actual Honda content, haha…And though this is a Honda site, I actually had to find these pics from a non-Honda guy, Jon Sibal. He’s someone who I respect very much for what he does for a living as well as his view on all things automotive so be sure to check out his site.

First thing I got for you is the first pictures of the HSV-010 GT (aka the next generation NSX that will never see production) in action with completed graphics/livery schemes. You have probably all seen the HSX GT in it’s flat black form but these pics will give you guys a good idea of what they will look like when Super GT officially begins…

I don’t know how I feel about them because the car looked so menacing in black and the colored versions almost look fake. I gotta say though, it’s amazing to see this piece of machinery in action and an even greater feeling to hear this thing roar. Check out the video at the bottom. Shit sounds like an F1 car….I would use references like “oh I just came” or “oh I just shit my pants” but I’ d. You know what makes me shit my pants? Uhh…like a fucking gallon of chili. I don’t know, just watch the video, soil yourself if you must…Oh and thank god for HD Youtube, I’m tired of watching car videos on there and that shit looking like that Tony Stewart Off-Road arcade game…You know, that game from the early 90s with 4 big ass steering wheels and the trucks in the game are the size of a pubic hair? Yah that one….nitro booost!!!….

By the way, there aren’t pics of it but watch the video and catch that Raybrig HSV….goodness…shit is mean!!!

Remember to watch this in 720P!!…

Oh and I also saw these images on his site of the 2010 BTCC Honda Civic… I just can’t help but wonder how North America would have reacted if this car had made it’s way to our shores. It’s definitely an interesting looking car. With all the new Subaru Imprezas on the road and everyone fascinated with oddball looking cars, I would imagine these would do quite well over here. Great job of hiding that rear door handle too, good design….

Pretty interesting right?…


Happy Chinese New Year/Valentines Day…

Hope all you guys and gals had a good Valentine’s Day…It shouldn’t really take a random semi-holiday to make your significant other feel special but if that’s the case, I hope everyone did a good job. Just remember that a day like Valentine’s should be a year-round 365 days kinda of thing. Do what you gotta do…

This weekend also marked the first days of the Chinese/Lunar New Year. What that means for us asians is that we get to eat a bunch of stuff, celebrate with family, and get red envelopes with money; all to bring in the new year on the lunar calender. It usually falls around this time but I can’t say that it’s always on the same weekend as a V-Day, definitely made my weekend schedule full…On top of that, I’m still busy completing orders from the storefront and getting everyone’s stuff out ASAP. I still need to cut some stickers that I sold out of and people have been hitting me up for the original stickers non-stop so expect those to come back in the next couple days. My new shipment of vinyl comes in tomorrow which means I can finally resume cutting the chrome vinyl stuff. Make sure to check out the store to see the updated stuff. Shirts definitely coming very soon…

On another note, Loi and the Sportcar Motion crew brought in the new year at Buttonwillow to test the DC2R. No real times or anything, just set time and experience and Loi was nice enough to send me some shots of the R in action. Car looked really good, and according to Loi, it ran very well too and the new race engine is responding well on the track. It’s good to see the Chronicles Top Honda of 2009 continuing to do big things in 2010…

Here’s a couple pics, you know the drill…

Happy Chinese New year…


It only cost $83 to be a poser…free shipping!

Not much really going on this week, I’m actually busy catching up on all the orders from the store and with Valentines Day and Chinese New Year this weekend, I’m pretty much booked. All the orders for the Wek’Fest Edition stickers will get to you guys who ordered them on time, so don’t worry about that one…

I was working on the RotaMaster EMO logo earlier today and that will be available soon in the storefront as well. I was searching for more pics of the original EVO logo to ensure that my version is close to that one and I stumbled upon this EBay auction with a guy from the Phillipines that is selling sets of replica decals for fake wheels. They actually look pretty real too but anybody that has looked at the real version will spot the obvious differences right away. They even have the JAWA Approval sticker and all the stickers for the inside of the wheel. Fake funkers are really getting detailed these days, it’s crazy…The description he has for the auction is even funnier. Here are teh 4 reasons why he thinks you should get these for your fake wheels…

1 . STAND OUT FROM THE PACK.

2. LOOK LIKE THE REAL DEAL.

3. GET THAT TUNED OR JDM/EURO LOOK.

4. GET YOU NOTICED. (Hopefully by the chicks : )

Wow…..1. You won’t stand out from the pack because you want the look of the real thing that everyone has…2. You just paid $83 to look like the real deal….3. This is exactly why you should buy these, you know, for that Tuned Euro look….and 4. You’ll get noticed alright, and people will fucking laugh at you for rocking some fake ass shit with some fake ass stickers and trying to front like they’re real…and chicks will laugh too.

Shit is getting serious nowadays…Cost you that much to fake the funk, you might as well save up and get the real thing, haha… What’s even crazier is that this EBay spot has quite the logo operation going on. They even have fake TE37 Gravel stickers! And not to mention the fake Gab, Volk/Rays, and even the SEIBON EDITION stickers! People don’t even have REAL TE37 Gravels! Haha, the fuck are you trying to fool? Funniest thing about the listing is the part where they put “photos in low resolution for our protection”. Yeah, we wouldn’t want anyone else to steal your idea and make counterfeit stickers that you already worked so hard to counterfeit….

Buy up kids, and make sure to floss that shit super hard….Can’t wait to see them!!

Here’s the listing for the counterfeit RegaMaster EVO stickers… and if you guys wanna see the other stuff they got, make sure to click on the seller’s other items…=P


Prep for Wek’Fest…

…has officially begun. At least for Tony anyway, he’s finally getting back to work on the NSX. Can’t wait until this bad boy is finished and on the road for Wek’Fest! Should be a fun drive listening to this guy’s exhaust for 5 hours! Haha…

Stay tuned!…


It just keeps getting better…

Oh goodness, can you believe this thing once lived a much simpler, non-competitive life in middle-of-nowhere Utah? I’m busy working today but I just thought I’d give you a recent updated shot of  The Chronicles’ Top Honda of 2009…

Sportcar Motion DC2R is gonna fuck some shit up this year!!

Back to work I go…later.


Actually getting things done…

Things may seem a bit slow here but trust me, my plate is full right now. I actually have many things going on. I’m currently busy knowing some things out for Super Street magazine so I’m just gonna stop by and show you guys a couple things that I’ve come across within the last day or two…

First things first…I’ve been getting the shipments ready for the recent orders from The Chronicles storefront. As you can see, the Wek’Fest Edition stickers have been selling like hot cakes so if you want those before the actual event, please head over to the store and grab them now. This isn’t even half the orders from the past week and I’ve been cutting and weeding stickers like crazy trying to keep up. I can’t say thanks enough to all the people that support this site. It gives me a sense of pride knowing that I have people who believe in this site. Shirts should be coming shortly and I can’t wait for those. I’m excited because it’s a whole new design and well, I actually lost my black Chronicles shirt from the first batch and have no idea where it is now…

Sean Bradford, another guy that freelances for HT and Super Street, sent me this pic of his Civic buried in a shit storm of snow today. I’ve been in snow and some pretty cold weather but I can’t imagine living in that kind of weather for a big part of the year. Having my car buried in it is even worse. It is cool to see it happen to other people though, haha. And blatant advertising for this site obviously exists even when shit is consumed in snow. Thanks Sean, when the snow melts and you reunite with your car, please remove that extra chrome vinyl piece between the “c” and the “l” because I obviously forgot to, sorry about that… =P

Last bit of news for the day…I received an email from John Naderi aka Nads today. Nads used to run Super Street mag and briefly Honda Tuning and was actually the head editor when I first started over at HT. He started up Riceboy TV and now runs things over at Streetfire.net. I haven’t heard from him in awhile but he hit me up because he wanted me to help spread the word that he was selling his Acura RSX. For those of you who have followed Super Street for the last couple of years will probably recognize this RSX because it used to be one of their project cars…

It will make a nice project for whoever picks it up because the exterior hasn’t really been touched and it has some motor work done already but nothing drastic enough to be irreversible. Hopefully one of you guys will pick it up and finish where Nads started. Here’s a description of what’s been done…

Meticulously maintained 2002 Acura RSX Type-S in excellent condition. Original Owner. Car purchased new in August 2001 from Keyes Acura in Van Nuys, CA. All receipts. Interior is like new with minor wear on floor mats. Exterior has no scratches or dents with the exception of minor rock chips on lower part of front bumper. Vehicle was a project car for Super Street magazine and includes many performance modifications including but not limited to:

Toda 2150 Stroker kit, K20 Engine Kit with A3 camshafts, uprated valvesprings, race header, cam sprocket and exhaust; JDM DC5 Integra Type R intake manifold; Injen RS Series Racing intake; RC Engineering 440cc injectors; Ingalls Stiffy Engine Torque Damper; Exedy Hyper Single Clutch; Driveshaft Shop Level 2 axles; ’06 Civic Si LSD and final drive; Gear Speed transmission rebuild; Hondata K-Pro ECU

HKS Hipermax RS coilovers; Toda front sway bar; Energy Suspension motor mount inserts; Carbing Type R Special front and rear strut tower bars and lower arm bar

18×8 +38 Volk Racing CE28NF wheels; Falken Azenis RT-615 tires; Stillen AP Racing front brake with four-piston calipers and two-piece 13-inch cross-drilled rotors; Stillen Brake Pros XD rear rotors; Metal-Matrix pads; stainless steel lines

Acura dealer-optional driving lights; Defi Link Meter System with Control Unit II, and Link-Meter oil pressure, oil temp, water temp gauges, Koyo three-row aluminum radiator

Pretty good price too, here’s a link to his Ebay listing

And here’s a pretty bad picture of Nads himself.

Oh and I randomly caught this on Speedhunters today…this NSX was actually the inspiration behind the modified front bumper on the Phaze2xDoods! NSX. All we had was one pic back then and it changed the look of Tony’s NSX forever…Good stuff…

…and speaking of which, can’t wait to see the NSX on the road again for the drive up to Wek’Fest, shits gonna be a blast!!

Back to work, PEACE.


Fans in Japan…

One of my best customers since the store opened has to be Junki from Japan. We’ve been exchanging emails back and forth trying to figure out how he would go about getting Chronicles goods over to the land of the rising sun. Junki seems like a cool guy who is just as enthusiastic about the US Honda community as we are about Japanese tuning culture. For those of you who don’t know, they have a style over there where they emulate the styling cues of us U.S. car builders. They like USDM stuff like we do with JDM tuning culture. They import all kinds of crazy stuff over here and as bizarre as it may seem sometimes, I’m sure they think the same way about us when we spend ridiculous amounts of money on stuff over there. Anyways, I’ve had quite a response from the guys in Japan and I guess The Chronicles is pretty big over there in their community. They probably see all the Hondas over here rocking the Chronicles stickers and they want to replicate the look. Needless to say, they have really been generous about purchsing stuff from the store. Another big customer of mine and probably the first from overseas is Takeshi Kobayashi from TypeK Autosource. He also imports U.S. goods over there and is a big fan of how we build cars stateside. Takeshi also throws events that are deemed “USDM Jam” which is basically their interpretation of what we do to our cars, which ironically enough, is inspired by Japanese tuning. That’s the great thing about what we do with cars. No matter where we are, we can always draw our inspiration from one another.

In any case, if you guys are interested in seeing more U.S.-inspired JDM goodness, search for “USDM Jam” and a good amount of stuff should come up.

Below is a video that Junki sent to me. It’s a compilation vid of what they do over there. The video is interesting because it really does show the heavy U.S. influence in Japan. They even got hoochies that dress up like our hoochies…haha…

Anyways, enough blabbering, watch the video, definitely interesting stuff…

It won’t allow me to embed it here so just click on the link here to watch it.

Junki ended the last email with a simple request…

“…please show cool JDM. We also enjoy USDM&US/JDM in Japan…”

Will do my friend.


Thanks everyone…

Wow the response that I’ve received for the new storefront has been amazing. Thanks to everyone for purchasing goods and supporting The Chronicles. I didn’t expect such a huge response and sales have been really well. I’ve actually had to order a lot more chrome reflective vinyl to keep up with all the orders. For those of you who haven’t had a chance to pick up some Wek’Fest Edition Chronicles stickers, make sure to pick them up so you guys can be the first to have them before the big event in February. They’ve been selling pretty well so make sure to jump on those soon.

I kinda made the Hellasunk stickers as a joke but that’s actually received quite a positive response as well. A lot of the Japanese cats overseas have been grabbing them up real quick too. Hopefully they understand what it means, haha.

I actually found a small batch of the original design of the shirts leftover but in some odd ball sizes. I will be making new shirts shortly but I’d like to get rid of these old ones first. The popular sizes are all sold out but I still have some small shirts leftover and maybe a medium or two. I’ll have to double check but those will probably go up on the storefront soon.

The original Chronicles stickers are sold out temporarily because I just don’t have enough chrome vinyl right now to cut new ones. The new vinyl should be in by next week so I’ll update you guys as soon as those are available again. I didn’t expect people to buy so many of those and so I didn’t bother cutting as many. I did however, cut a lot of the new design and still have those readily available for purchase. The red and black look really good too so don’t be afraid to grab those. I originally only cut a few of those because my buddy Jeremy requested them but they actually came out really nice so I cut more. The guys overseas seem to like them and they’ve already picked up the majority of the red and black. They even got the Wek’Fest Edition ones, why? Not sure, maybe it’s the teal. Either that or Wek’Fest has some sort of cult-like following over there, haha who knows.

Or maybe The Chronicles is a big hit over there….whooo knows…..s….extra s….

For those who ordered, I’m putting all the orders together now and they should be going out beginning to middle of next week. Thanks again guys, I really do appreciate the support. It feels good to know that I have a solid following of people who care.


Thursday tidbits…

Quick headlines for the day…

The Chronicles Storefront is now open! …Yes, for all your Chronicles goodies, please headover to the storefront now. There’s a link to the store on the right hand side or you can go there now and purchase your goods by clicking right here. Shirts are not yet available but I will let people know when they will happen. For now, all the stickers are ready for purchase and I am working on more as the days go by. Make sure to grab some of those Wek’Fest edition stickers too while they last….

Adler vs. Relynet… For those of you who are unfamiliar, there’s been an ongoing lawsuit for the past 4-5 years now between Dustin Adler, who created the software that Honda-Tech used to run on (zeroforums) and the friend who stole the software from him and made a fortune off of. Dustin apparently won the case recently and will be awarded a substantial amount of money (we’re talking in the range of a million+). I don’t really venture over to Honda-Tech anymore but I did catch a thread where they were talking about it and the results of the case. If you want to go over there and read all of it, then be my guest. You can visit that thread here. Don’t expect to see any changes over on Honda-Tech though. They switched over to vBB awhile back probably because of this whole thing and I doubt they will ever switch back to the format that everyone loved so much. Internet Brands, who owns Honda-Tech, will probably be going after Michael DiCarlo as well since he failed to inform Internet Brands of this dispute when they first purchased Honda-Tech from this software-stealing ex-friend.

What’s also interesting as a result of this case is that Dustin Adler has been deemed the official and sole owner of Zeroforum. He created the software and there are still a couple sites that have been using it with him not earning anything from it. He states in the Honda-Tech thread that he will be offering Zeroforum at a very affordable cost for sites that want to run the software still. What will happen to sites like NWP4LIFE? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

It’s good to see justice served for a change. Big props to Dustin Adler for seeing this case through and getting back what was rightfully his all along.

Wek’Fest Decor… I’m sure you guys are all enjoying the new “Wek’Fest Edition” layout of the site. I’ll probably be keeping it around until the actual event takes place. The guys at Wek’Sos who are running the event have been very kind to me and Mikeyyyy and the rest of the guys and all of us are definitely looking forward to this event. We make the trek every year and it’s been a blast. This year’s Wek’Fest promises to be the biggest and best. I’m stoked for this event and can’t wait to cruise up there and hang out with all the homies and meet new faces. I will of course have Chronicles stuff on hand available to purchase for showgoers and attendees so make sure to look for me. It also happens to be my birthday as well as a couple other homies and we’ll all be celebrating that weekend….It’s gonna be a blast!

That’s it for today…Make sure to head over to the store if you want to support my ass and the future of this site, thanks everybody!!!


First look at The Chronicles store…

Well, I finally got the items I’m planning on selling up on the storefront. The shirts I have yet to make but they will be ready within the next couple weeks. The first batch of shirts will go to some orders that I have yet to fill too because they sold so quickly that I ran out of the most popular sizes (Large and up, some mediums). Stickers are actually done but I won’t open up the store until I have more made. A lot of people have been hitting me up for the Wek’Fest Edition stickers so you can actually get those before the actual event on February 28th. Everything is viewable right now though, and I’ll let everyone know when they will be available for purchase. Thanks everybody for supporting The Chronicles, I couldn’t have done it without the help of you all…

Here’s a shot of the new sticker design in the Wek’Fest Edition teal on black…

San Diego Deja Vu Carshow Coverage…SFW Edition…

OH man, some sketchy stuff in this coverage, haha. Well I’m still currently going through the *ahem* good stuff *ahem* but man, let’s just say, that a bunch of pics already got deleted for breaking the terms of service on photobucket. So I’m gonna go ahead and make them all safe for work and include pics with my good buddy The ULTIMATE WARRRRRIOR!!! Haha, anyways, here’s the actual link to some of the regular pics. Majority of them are safe for work and the NSFW stuff is broken off into a separate post…

There’s actually a really nice TSX in there that’s rocking a Chronicles sticker. I mean, it’s really nice without the sticker but with it on there, it got bumped up like 6 cool points. Yah, 6.

Let me sort throught the dirty pics and see what  I can post up but until then, check out the other pics on the 8th Gen. Civic forums….

Later today…

I’d say I’m back but I never left. I’ve been furiously working on stickers and new designs and stuff for the storefront that’s coming soon. By furiously I mean, at a somewhat slower pace than most people because well I get easily distracted by things on TV. Anyways, apparently there was a car show at Deja Vu strip club in San Diego over the weekend. I’m raised in SD and my buddy Jeff constantly hits me up on AIM and bugs me for free shit so I somehow caught this pic of his car at the show and what appears to be the Rocketeer attempting to land safely on it. I rarely go to small shows anymore because, well…I just don’t have time. But since there was a show at Deja Vu, there is bound to be some debauchery somewhere in there and once I get the chance to look through the pics from the event, I will post up some interesting stuff that I spotted. Of course there was some “NSFW” stuff and that is well, pretty much the only reason why I looked at the pics and why you guys want to come back and check it out…

And yes, the above pic was made safe for work by your’s truly…
