Mad Mike and his Rotary monsters. Definitely my favorite Aussie drifter, hopefully he does well in Formula D this year and I pray that he'll make it to Evergreen!

Event: Evergreen Drift Invitational
Last sunday there was the first official drift event of the season for Evergreen speedway. Sadly I was unable to attend because of it being invitation only. From the pictures i have seen it looks like it was a very fun event with alot of the more experience drivers having a chance to "shake the cobwebs loose" and get ready for the fast approaching drift season.
The purple S14 that you see here is my friend Levon's and I jawls everytime i see a picture of it going sideways. It rarely leaves its place in the garage and thus why it looks so minty fresh in pictures and in person.

UCF10 Build Update
Haven't updated the blog lately, work and school has been hectic and haven't had much free time. Anyways picked up some Volks for the Lex, idk the exact model but they are fat 5 spokes 18x8 +41. Had to get a massive 30mm spacer for the rear but it sits pretty flush now. Also ordered some curtains and have an hid kit in the works as well. I'll be sure to post some pictures as soon as i can take some decent looking photos.

Daaaamn.
So this past week I was told that one of my classmates from high school has a basically like a softcore porn website. Anyways went and checked it out and all i was thinking was wow wtf? Amy Boon are you serious!?! After letting it sink in I can't really hate on her cause shes doing her thing and seems to be doing it pretty well. In addition to having the website, apparently she is whipping a white nsx now. Fuck thats just ridiculous....hot asian girl + Honda NSX = Jawlsssss. Aha anyways the website is iseekamy.com. Go check it out, maybe sign up if you think shes cute.
UCF10 Build Update
Ordered some JIC coils and they should be arriving tomorrow. I'm excited and can't wait to install em. Might do a step by step tutorial while im at it just because i've never seen one for a ucf10.

Young Garage
Hella fun night. Kinda helped pull a transmission and went for a ride in a Audi S4. Ate some free Thai food and was laughing the entire time since I got to Siam's house. As you can kinda see in the pictures Siam has a Silvia front-end along with a full authentic Instant Gentleman kit for his S13. One of the cleanest chassis' in the area, he uses it primarily as a track car but it can be spotted doing DD duty on occasion. Its sure to make you say JAWLS when you see it.
Event: Northwest Nissans Local Renton Meet
Went to a local NWN meet on Saturday cause I had nothing to do. It was pretty fun to say the least. I got there at about 6:30 and talked to my buddy Quan with the red S14 in the picture. After just hanging out for about an hour we headed to Red Robin and proceeded to mess with the red headed waitress for the majority of out meal. After finishing up we walked back to the Parking Structure and a couple of the guys swapped out the rear suspension on a guys s13. It was pretty epic with the only tools being used included some scissor jacks and a few basic hand tools. I hope this meet continues to be held cause it was definitely worth dragging myself out of the house for.

Kenji Yamanaka going sideways in his S15. One of the most beautiful S15s to look @ in FD, I love this cars paint job. I hope he's going to be competing during the Formula D competition next August up in Monroe.

Boss UCF10. Basically how I want my car to look when I'm done with it. Looks like its rolling on some AME Shallen wheels. I hope the owners on bags otherwise this thing must scrape everywhere!
UCF10 Build Update
Checked the brake pads today since I had heard a metal on metal sound for the past few days. Popped off the front right rotor first and low and behold there is barely any pad surface left. Rotor is shot and wrapped very badly so I'm going to do a front brake job tonight. First time ever but I have the LS400 DIY guide from http://www.lexls.com so it shouldn't be too bad.

1st Day back to School
Shit was hella wack. Woke up kinda late and left with 15 minutes to get to school thinking that that would be enough. Unfortunately I was wrong and was waiting for a good 15 minutes as I slowly made my way through the over parking garage @ BCC to try and escape the madness of everyone trying to park. Drove around the campus looking for a parking spot with nothing insight besides the super distant spots near the main road. So fuck it I thought to myself and just went and got lunch. Gotta remember to leave like an hour early in order to get a parking spot tomorrow.

UCF10 Build Update
Heres the UCF10 in all its glory. I'll probably be keeping this blog more updated with a parts list than the build thread just cause I dont want to constantly be bumping the build thread for small stuff.

Welcome Hella JDM Yo.
Hi. My name is Isaiah Roberts and I have created this blog for a couple reasons. First I am going to use this blog as another form of keeping track of my '91 LS400 build through out the rest of the year. I already have a build thread on nwn.com but I thought that I could have a more broad exposure with a blog like this.
2nd thing that I want to do with this blog is to have a place that brings everything that is relevent to the Northwest in terms of Drifting/Vip cars and the community to one place.We already have a blogs that are doing this but I thought I'd give it a try just because I have some much free time on my hands.
That is all for now, hopefully I can accomplish these goals and have some daily subcribers by the end of this month!
