Wekfest Los Angeles Prep…


Damn, it’s hard to believe that Wekfest LA is already happening this weekend. With so much going on lately, I almost lost track of everything that was going on. From Eibach to Tony’s meet and now Wekfest LA, things have been pretty crazy around here. I decided not to do a booth this time around at Wekfest though because I honestly have just been kind of burned out by having to prepare everything event after event. It would be much easier if my vinyl cutter was working correctly but it had some issues and just basically threw everything off course. It’s fixed now though but I just figured I’d take a break from doing a booth and selling merchandise so that I could just sit back and enjoy an event for once without having to worry about stuff. Not having to slave away on stickers every night has also presented me with more free time to spend with the homies, especially since so many of them are out here in Socal for Wekfest. Yesterday I headed down to the Rywire facility so that I could work on my car and hung out there for a bit to hang out with DPK David, Ryan, and a couple of the ATS Garage guys…

We were running around getting various things and going to the post office to mail out some Rywire product but this was how the shop looked after we got back and settled in. Jared’s S2000 is almost finished so Ryan was hard at work trying to knock that out and had Supertwinz John and ATS Ben there to lend a helping hand…

I brought my Q45 down to the shop because I had to do some detailing on it as well as taking off my old stickers that had become faded from being out in the sun over time…

Chris Sakai’s Civic sitting at Ryan’s shop awaiting his return…It’s been down here since Eibach 2011 and sitting nice and comfortably at the shop…

John, Ben, and Ryan working on Jared’s S2000… Best black paint ever by the way, it’s got 7 coats of dust on it and still glossy as fuck…

When I first got there, I saw ATS Ben in front of the shop, which was a bit of a surprise since I wasn’t really expecting anyone to be around yet. He had just gotten back from getting his S2000 tuned at Bisimoto Engineering and was all smiles. He’s been pretty frustrated with his car lately but after a trip to Bisi’s, the guy couldn’t be happier with the results…

He was telling us that he had to fill up his tank like 3 times before he got down here from Norcal and wasn’t really happy with how he drove. After his tune, he sat in traffic coming over from Bisi’s to Ryan’s shop and the car ran smoothly and only took a little bit of gas to get over there. If you guys don’t know where Bisi’s shop is in relation to Ryan’s, it’s not very close at all and is a bit of a drive. As far as power numbers go, I don’t remember the exact numbers but Ben said they turned it down to about 15PSI of boost and made around 460whp or so and 300lb-ft tq…awesome numbers for an S2000. As Low Fat Pie said when he was checking out Ben’s S2K; “You’re basically driving a Porsche…” … All it needs now is a nice wash and it’s ready to go for Wekfest LA…

Ryan and the guys still hard at work on Jared’s S2…

It was around 7pm by this time so I had to head out of the area to drive over to May’s place. I always hang out with her on Thursdays so I hopped in the Q and drove from Westminster to the valley to spend some time with her. She was baking as usual and I was watching the NBA Finals when Salem hit me up to see if I wanted to go bowling. If  you want to know what happened to Phaze2 as a crew, everyone other than me has apparently become obsessed with BOWLING. When Mikeyyyy says he’s doing big things nowadays, he’s not building magazine featured Hondas or coming out with crazy Dipped-Parts.com products, he had a good game of BOWLING. They fucking love that shit. Some of the other guys drive up to the valley just to bowl with them. I’m just always there because I’m with May and we’re not too far away. I do a little bit of bowling myself of course, when you’re nickname is “Hand of God”, you can bowl a little bit. When I say “a little bit” that means I can bowl a consistent 70….haha… But yeah, these guys are all about bowling these days. It’s cool though, because it means that we can always just hang out and not do car shit all the time…

Norman from As1 stopped by to hang out for a bit and here he is with Murdock…

Dougie and Haze chillin…I asked Haze to show me his reaction when a girl sticks a finger in his butthole and Doug vouched for the reaction…

Salem in action…

That was pretty much it for the day. We didn’t really have to do much prep work because we’re ready to go. I’m just ready for Sunday because I can actually just walk around and take pictures. It’s a welcome break from the norm…See everyone this weekend at Wekfest LA…it’s gonna be a good one!
