I had to go through your post history to make sure it really was you! Haha!

I have learned to turn a wrench! But working 9AM to 9PM daily doesn't leave much time for that. Not does not having tools and living in an apartment, haha.

It's been a while! You've gone all MIA :(

zommgg he's back! cant wait to see this one. in china though?


Yessir. I moved to Hong Kong. No more Canada for me.

New location, and a completely different style of modding this time.

A wise man named Mark once told me, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast, like an R32. Than a fast car slow, like a big turbo GTI.

Keeping it tame.

Getting too tired of stuff breaking, and having hassles. No more replacing parts, just doing it once, and doing it right, :thumbsup:

Dropped off the car today to my shop, took a picture of some of my parts.

Pardon the awful pictures, I've never been good at taking pictures when I'm excited :biggrin:
