project JDM-Lone: cleaning and wax

Looks brand new.. yea? coz every 2 weeks, this car gets a wash and wax to maintain that clean car JDM style. I never really thought that a 19yr old car can look this clean. With just a routine cleaning and proper maintenance, a car can look brand new.

project JDM-Lone: Changing Brakes!!

Recently, Joe Perez (Bunny.. lol.. :p) sent me these pics, him changing the brakes. Since I’m not in Vegas anymore, I’ll no longer update JDM Enthusiast section, but I’ll let Bunny (Joe) do the update on that page since he is more knowledgeable on that field. I’m actually just a listener, but I enjoy it though coz I question alot. Once I make it back to Vegas, I’ll definitely get back on this section. So below are pics of brakes, he did both wheels on front.

project JDM-Lone: Changing suspension, 2 inch drop!

Drop it-Drop it Low.. hehehe.. everytime I hear this song, it brings my swag back.. lol, but everytime I see my bunny’s integ, how low it is.. this song plays in my head.. O_o..

Anyways, we’ve changed the suspension a month ago, but due to errands, I was not able to post it that time. Integ was 4 inches above the ground, now it dropped to 2 inches. We didn’t came across any major problems. The car is almost 19yrs old, so no doubt its bolts will be tight. We changed all 4, front and rear, suspensions. So here it is..

bunny's friend, dane, came to help with the bolts.. lol

 

project JDM-Lone: Day 1 – steering wheel w/ quick hub release

Since this was our first time installing a steering wheel with quick hub release, it was a trial and error procedure. This things does make your car interior look good, but one question that I kept asking myself, Why does enthusiastic driver need such steering wheel?.. coz they want better grip on the wheel and ofcourse, so it’ll make their turnings quicker.. the smaller the steering wheel, the better of handling your car.. and another reason why this us a quick release one, its because of security issues.. older cars tend to have the most stolen vehicles coz they are easier to jack open and can start the engine via wires..

project JDM Lone

Main reason why I’m so into cars nowadays is because of my bunny (boyfriend).. lol.. he started street at a young age, adapting the car culture from his freinds from Cali and the streets of San Diego. Ofcourse, as a girlfriend, I couldn’t stop him from his hobbies, I guess, its better that way than goin out, clubbin.. right?!?.. Anyways, this is his new acura integra 91.. DA series.. all stock since 91.. we’ll be modifying the interior first than exterior than the engine.

JDM Car Enthusiast

JDM – Japanese Domestic Market – JDM Cars.. Apparently, this is what I’ve been up to. Eversince I first glanced unto S2K and Initial D anime series, I’ve been curiously questioning and making my way through to the car scene. I’m no expert or prefessional driver, heck, I dont even know how to drive stick shift, but you know what, once I get my hands on the car I want, I will drive and learn such techniques.

So chyea, this blog will be a record of my improvements and learnings!!!..
