My laptop broken again...

I was trying to write the "behind the scene - Formula D Monterrey Mexico", but as I finished pasting all the pictures and as I was ready to upload the blog, the internet explorer took a crap. And when I was trying to re-start the computer, it does not start with "windows recovery error". WTF!

FD Monterrey, Mexico results . . . . . ouch !

Overall, it was a pretty rough weekend for
me and my Chaser. With only 260hp, it was
a tough task to make a consistent run at a
course that required some decent power.
Here, all the FD drift cars are getting ready
as the spectators starts to roll in.

I had to keep pushing harder and harder

to even make it through the course,

and the "zombie" Chaser had a little

conversation with the tough Mexican walls!

The lower control arm was bent to a 'custom' shape!

and Jun working hard to get the car back in shape...

It's fixed !!! . . . . well, kinda...

But I love the "oni-can" super negative camber !

It's old-school JDM !!

Congrats to Justin for taking the crown at this event !

and also to his pit crew Brian !!

Brian used to be my pit crew when I raced my Chaser

in Formula D in 2005~2006. I'm happy to see him

doing well with the new team !!!

The question is, should I fix my Chaser and keep
running with it ?
Or is it finally time to swap into a new body ?!?!

Formula D Monterrey, Mexico !

We are here in Monterrey now.
The forecast was isolated thunderstorm,
but we've escaped the rain once again in today's practice.
Here's some pictures of:

the weather down below . . . .

It does not look good in Monterrey, Mexico for the
rest of this week . . . . .
Two rainy Formula D events in a row ?!?!

onto the transporter !

my Toyota Chaser is on the way to Monterrey, Mexico now.

That's Ross's white S15. I can't believe he's taking this car to Mexico !!

I hope I haven't forgotten anything. I had to inventory everything,
like to EVERY SINGLE tools and nuts and bolts...
That was a headache . . . . .

See you in Mexico !!!

prepping for Formula D in Monterrey, Mexico !!!

It was a sudden decision to attend the Formula D exhibition
competition in Monterrey, Mexico.
With lots of help from Taka, we prepared my Toyota "Zombie" Chaser
at the Garage Boso in Gardena, CA.
Thank you very much Garage Boso for letting me use the lift !!
It made my life a lot easier to work on the Chaser.

Hope everything is ready to go and it should be a fun trip in Mexico !!
