Damn, it has been a while since I put together one of these posts. For years and years, the long-form event coverage posts were a bit of a staple here on the site. People that enjoyed reading and seeing large batches of photos would come here to see coverage of events I attended. I’d usually get them up about a day or two after the event too so it gave people the sense of actually being there or some semblance of that. It has long been one of my favorite things to do. Writing that is. It comes so naturally to me that it’s never really been a ‘chore’ do put posts together like this…
So why did I stop?…

After landing back at home in California, Yasu and I show up with a bunch of parts and only a few days to help complete the USA’s first Voltex Street Version II widebody GR86. Kristian and Jay had been hard at work on the GR86 over the last few months but I had been in Asia so even I had no idea how the car would look. Before I left, the car was literally in pieces. I was excited to see how much the car had changed and boy was I surprised but how far along the car was. We had enough time to even work on my FL5 Civic Type R! Since we had brought the brand new Exceed aero kit for the Type R back from Osaka with us, we immediately had to throw it on to see how it looked in completed form. Good thing I already had wheels waiting to be installed and a meaty set of Yokohama ADVAN tires…

Yes it sure has been a while but I haven’t just been sitting around doing nothing! These last few months I’ve actually been back and forth from the U.S. to Japan to Indo and back again. There’s just so much going on and with Yasu around, it’s been hard to sit down and put new episodes together. But we’re back now! In this episode, we go to Indonesia to visit Sara Choi, I some how end up driving around an international race track in a wagon before flying to Japan for one of the best events I’ve attended all year! This new car show from the brains behind Option magazine and Video Option brought out all the major tuning shops as well as enthusiast cars I’d only ever seen on the internet. It was crazy! There were cars I’d NEVER thought I’d ever get the opportunity of seeing in-person and they were just all sitting there together. It was a real dream come true and yet another unexpected bucket list item checked-off the list…
