Busy working on some actual work stuff but here’s something for you guys to look at. You’ve all seen the shitty Wek’Fest coverage I posted up, now watch a video of how the actual event was. The video came out so good that it makes me wish I was at Wek’Fest and I was actually fucking there! Awesome stuff…It’s from Studio Mountain and the link takes you to Vimeo. Other than that I don’t have anymore information on it. I don’t know why you would need anymore info anyway…Don’t mind the Transformers music, I know how Linkin Park makes you all want to go yell at your parents and hide in a bathroom for hours while you cry and write poetry but it’s okay, it’s just a song….

Island Motorsports Meet…
March 6, 2010I’ve decided to take a bit of a break from the Wek’Fest coverage. Going through so manypictures at once has really drained my vision and made it far worse than it already is. With that said, I’m actually gonna go out to the Island Motorsports meet. I’m going because Ross from Midnight Garage and I will have the main booth spot in the center of the meet. So make sure to come chill if you’re interested in picking up some Chronicles merchandise. We will also have some of the Phaze2 cars on display as well as my boy Billy’s IS300. It should be a good time. I’ve gotten ridiculously busy this past couple months and haven’t even had time to go to meets so it’ll be nice to get out to one of these to see what’s new with everyone. That and Island Motorsports isn’t that far from Midnight Garage which also means that it’s not too far from my place. Ahhh I remember the first time I bought something from Island, it seems like just yesterday when I was at an Import Showoff event in Del Mar, San Diego. I bought this device that made my turn signals extra fucking fast. That was the hot thing to do back then, especially when you had no money. Apparently the faster your blinkers were the sicker your car was and the more attention you would get from the ladies. Needless to say, the fucking thing didn’t work because I was a complete fuck-up at the time and had no idea how to wire it up. It certainly didn’t make my blinkers faster so much as make them completely NOT work at all. I had to go to the dealership with my dad and we had to replace the relay…ah fond memories. The thing I bought from Island started smelling alot like burnt up plastic too. I’m sure it would have worked, but on that day, 10 years ago…my blinkers did not flash super fast.
Alright, storytime over. Let’s go to the meet and have fun, blink our turn signals really fast…yah, kids these days have bike racks and tow hook charms and shit. Fuck all that, make your turn signals fast. Really fucking fast. Fast like a fucking Fox….Island Motorsports.
It only cost $83 to be a poser…free shipping!
February 13, 2010Not 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
Actually getting things done…
February 9, 2010Things 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.

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.
