I've been totally slacking about posting stuff --! Our little girl has doubled her weight since birth, and is already 3-1/2 months old... Time really flies!

I was stoked to find a package in the mail from Phil, Kana and Haru! A shirt from FTC, a Trina&Co bag, and -- Olivia now has her first pair of Air Force 1's!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

:)

Hey.. She's got me all tied up-- hence the lack of updates here!!

A few passes on the Dynojet...

Jensen Jerko took time out of his busy schedule today to man the laptop and map out the PowerFC in the GS300. A few passes on the Dynojet netted 368hp and a good amount of torque. (okay, i forgot to look at the printout...) *correction, after finding the printout, there was 368.65hp and 372.89 lbs./ft. Jensen kept it conservative, considering Hawaii's 92 octane pump gas. It's a lot more fun to drive! Thanks for the fresh plugs and the tune-up..!

The Missile..

It's been a long, long time since my last post; There's been a lot going on here at home..!

Anyhow, a few updated pics of the GS. Runs nice and smooth with the base map Jensen put in. Gotta get on the dyno soon. Driving around on super-low-boost is getting boring. That old AVC-R is from my old EG civic, then was in my S13, and here it is still kickin'.. The interior features the Alan V edition steering wheel and custom (hole saw + boat parts) drink holder that wasn't a Lexus factory option in '93..

Step-by-step..

Slowly but surely, the Corolla is gettin' worked on. Wiring harness is complete.. Just gotta work on a crank trigger setup..! Other stuff goin' on -- Lei and I tried Due Divino, an Italian restaurant around the corner.. The thin crust pizza was actually really good! 

Progress?!

Sorry for the lack of updates. Lots of changes around the house, so the car thing's kinda been on the back burner. The other half is hoping that I get both cars done by mid-September. Given a deadline, I hit up Brandon and Aaron for some assistance in getting the GS together. I'm glad I did, as it's actually progressing quickly.. If I'd have kept on my pace, I'd have it finished by the year 2013. 

The Corolla needs a crank angle sensor bracket fabbed up, a distributor delete plug machined, and the harness buckled up. Work's getting to me, I suppose; I shelled out a few bucks for a mil-spec Amphenol bulkhead connector to pass through the firewall..

Lunch X2..

Fridays are typically "Good (LUNCH) Fridays" at work. Ray's cafe's huge prime rib plate lunches were the call. After that, hooked up with some friends that didn't have such a huge lunch, and got sushi at Mitch's. Stuffed, but HAPPY..!
