RPMs staggering from 1k down to 400

I hate this. Half the time I feel like it’s gonna stall out from me. Don’t buy an FR-S, ladies and gentleman. (Is it an 86 now?…yeah whatever, i’m kidding.)

Maybe this baby needs a tune. I’ve heard about this ridiculous open tablet that can flash the ECU of the car to help with this issue – maybe keep it at a solid 1k. But for $499? You can kiss my sweet ass before I decide to buy that. Looks like I’ve got a lot to research to figure out a cheaper way of tuning my car.

Besides that, I just recently purchased the Fumoto Oil Drain Valve, which I will install very soon because my oil change frequency is very close to car washes, and a secret new part will be coming shortly after!

I’m excited how things are slowly growing for this car and I’m happy to have a group of friends who have a strong passion for cars. Without their help, installations would take long, YouTube would be my only friend, and I’ll magically screw up and turn my car into a piece o’ shit. Luckily that isn’t the case.

Thank you for those who are currently following my build! For those who are slowly coming in, I also appreciate your time and I hope to show you my wonderful work of art! 

A weekend with the bros.

This week, like every other week, has had it’s ups and downs; however, this week has been quite exciting so far.

I have just ordered my new set of coilovers for my car and they are arriving tomorrow (2 day shipping for FREE, special thanks to Alex at coilovers360)! I get to see my friends, this weekend, to assist me with installing them. When you work almost 65-70 hours per week – you tend to appreciate these times. 

Friends are hard to come by nowadays. You either have those who want to see you succeed, and you have those who play the loyalty card – telling you that you don’t even care about them because you don’t go out to a party with them, or go to lunch with them. Your friends should understand the sacrifices you are making to make ends meet. The ones who understand also know what it is like, or is going through it as well.

Cherish these people. You will live a life knowing that you aren’t doing this alone.
