RPF1: Wheel-drobe basics.

They say money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy more wheels…and that’s kind of the same thing. And I hear you all cry out, “Why did you buy more wheels Ying? Don’t you already have too many?” It’s because I don’t know what I’m doing with my life. There I said it. Are you […]

Sydney: Kebabs, Karts and Kei cars.

With Perry purchased, it was time to say goodbye to Chris and Nejii and start the long drive to Sydney. Thankfully the drive from Brisbane to Sydney was visually pleasing as the scenery contained banana and sugar cane plantations. Having said that, it was still a 981 km journey with no in car head unit. As some of […]

Japan: Fish Markets, Super Autobacs and Harajuku.

The first stop early in the morning was Tsukiji fish markets to sample some fresh sashimi. Yummm! We then headed off to Super Autobacs to have a looksee. Spotted this DC2R in the car park. With an err, unique choice of side skirts and rear bar. A lowered Cima on it’s way out. There’s also […]

Grand prix and grand stands

Fencing has gone up and gravel traps are being laid down in anticipation for the first GP race of the year at Albert Park. As we’re all too uncool to actually have real plans on a Saturday night, we thought it would be a good opportunity to make the most of the backdrop and go […]

Sydney: Boost, Bunyips and Butterfly Farm

29-30th December, 2012 After Marulan track day we were all exhausted from the drive back. It was decided that the best form of relaxation was to go karting at Revesby. The karts here are already awesome as they are two speed and postie bike powered, but things are going to get a whole lot more […]

On the hunt for some new track rims

Saturday 22nd September, 2012. I’ve been half heartedly looking for some new track rims but a few weeks ago I decided to step up the search and also test fit a few wheels I had lying around to see if any of them were suitable. Nothing spectacular here but track rims don’t have to be. […]

It’s all in the prep.

It’s the last weekend before our back to back EXE track day next weekend at Winton. The crew gather around for some last minute car preparation. I’ll be tracking M&M on both the Saturday and the Sunday so it’s time for a long overdue service. Doing up sump plugs like a sneaky ninja boss. Bong […]

M&M gets some new legs.

With all the excitement of Terry, I’ve forgotten to post about the new suspension that went into M&M a few weekends ago. Gratuitous wheel shot. Needs moar low. Success! It’s then customary to wind the new Teins all the way down to take some sweet photos. I don’t know how the cool kids do it, […]

December car life pt. 1

At the start of December I was finally introduced to Albert who had just received a new make over. Cheezel, who is the owner of this car, has let the coolness of owning a lowered Micra on RPF1’s get to his head. Here he is on a power trip dissing the ride height of my […]
