lol i dont think profits will ever be a thing unless sponsors throw their panties at us. im thinking more so for fun and as a passion thing. as cool as it is to watch i would much rather be doing which all 3 of us have experience (andrew is a product specialist for bmw and has M certified training with cars and is a total car nut) so i think if we can all get together at some point, which at least we will have 2 together at a moment, we can start something. when i go down to so cal itll be you and i, up here in nor cal its andrew and i and then the few times all three of us will be up north or down south, but more likely it will be me doing the traveling up/down. lots to figure out. not a whole lot of time currently. but we should definitely go in depth with the idea


eventually i will have to take a trip up north. Have yet to go up there

since i wont be buying anything any time soon for my car i decided to go around and mess with things here and there.

i went and PAINTED my tire letters blue but it was a pain in the but to do.

i had to make a stencil first and then afterwards mask everything off so i wouldnt get paint on the tires body and wheels

white outlined the blue, redid the 275 and refreshed the smile that randomly appeared on my car like 4 months ago

*update* so the blue lasted like 10 minutes...I drove a couple miles to the dmv to meet up with my brother and when I went to show him the blue had flaked off. Lol...wasted time for sure. Looks like cheetah print now

so i was never really fond of how tall the rear of my car sat and it had way too much travel which isnt a bad thing but on a racecar... well... racecar.

i found out that my step dad had a dremel tool, so i asked him if i could use it and got to work on it. took me about 3 hours start to finish (which isnt too bad) and i used 6 cutting wheels. would of been less, but i prematurely broke some when lining up the wheels.

took this picture wednesday because i was gonna do it then but it was like 8 at night so i did it today. you cant really tell how high the rear is but if you look at some previous pictures you can see how big the gap was. i could stick my entire hand into the gap and it measured about 2.5 2.75 from the top of the panel to the top of the wheel. i wanted to drop it about an inch and i think i achieved that today.

got the car back down before i took it on a drive to test it out

20160617_141929.jpg


right after i got back and man what a difference. first thing i noticed when i sat in the car was i felt like i was falling back a little due to the change in height. took it around for a mile or so and man its so firm in the back now and feels way more responsive. not to mention it looks whey bettahh

its about 3 fingers now which is about an inch and a half, inch and a quarter and i love it. i think it may settle a tad more over the night, but damn does it look so much better
