17:00 to 19:00, @ 1849 Western Way, Torrance, CA 90501
who’s going? we will have a booth as well for OS (i will be going towards the end since i have a photoshoot in Irvine that day). will be bringing lots of Nissan clutches and LSDs along with t-shirts, etc.
see you guys there!! 🙂
about time i posted up the Mitsubishi Owner’s day shots. didnt take many shots this year since i was somewhat drinking whiskey from 8:30, 9:00am ish
いやいや、やっとこさ三菱オーナーズデーの写真アップです。今年はそんなに撮ってないですねぇー。なんせ朝８時半、９時ぐらいからウィスキー飲みまくってたからね。
surprised me that not many came out this year and people leaving at 12:30 from the parking lot. plus, less vendor with less cars dyno-ing near us. hmmm economy sucks for our market i guess. we better start working on the Grand-Am teams and others.
今年は集客数が前年に比べてかなり低かったのにビックリだし何より１２：３０に人が帰ってたって言う。それに出展数も少なかったしシャシダイかけてる車も少なかった。ウチの業界は景気悪いねぇー。そろそろGrand-Amのチームとかに手出さないと。

yes, the tshirts are out. lot of people been asking for the t-shirts other than those charity ones. oh by the way, we will be getting more of the charity shirts in shortly!! the above t-shirts are $20 each. if you need them let me know.
やっとTシャツ作りました。色々な人にまだかまだかと聞かれていたのですが、やっとです。これちゃチャリティーとは別です。あ、ちなみにウチらがやってるチャリT（略すなw）また入荷するよ！！上記Tシャツは＄２０です。欲しい人は連絡下さいまし。
still have to brush up the ad for PRI.
あとはPRIの広告やらな。
on the IND BMW M3.
no the seat is genuine and i was the direct source of the line. constant reader of this random blog is aware of my position. i’ve been in part of this project and i really don’t like seeing people brag about their ridiculous knowledge of our seats. lot of them says GRADUATION rather than GRADATION. yea i could hand in your preschool diploma kid.
if anyone has doubt of the authenticity of the seat, come to me and i can prove you the item is genuine.
Thank you.
we are getting close to closing the deal for the charity t-shirts.
チャリティー用のTシャツもそろそろ大詰めです。
i’m glad that we have a lot of supporters through this act.
たくさんのご協力マジ感謝です。
we did have our first lot which was sent out to the supporters first. also, 60 pieces will be sent to Japan.
初期生産分はサポーターの方々に送られました。日本の方にも６０着程送ります。
next lot with the finalized design will begin production soon. once the t-shirts are ready, i will again announce it through my blog facebook and twitter.
最終デザインも近々印刷に入ります。整い次第、ブログふぇいすぶっくツイッターで連絡しますので。
just finished brushing up the design of our charity t-shirt!! all profits after the cost will go straight to Japan!! we will not be going through UNICEF nor RED CROSS to forward the money. We are beginning the production of our charity t-shirts. buy them and support Japan 🙂 price per shirt will be $10 USD.
we would like to thank all of you that supported this act of ours.

woke up 4 in the morning, left the house around 4:30 to be at the office before 5 (which he came late) and drove down to City of Industry for Autocon. my car was to be boothed for BRIDE and WEDS.
４時に起きて、５時集合に間に合わすために４時半には家出て（約一名遅刻しましたが）City of Industryまでレッツらゴー。しんちゃん号はBRIDEとWEDSのブースでの展示。
we we’re waiting at the wrong entrance lol hahha no wonder nobody else was there in the lot.
間違った入り口でウチら待ってたらしい（笑。通りで誰も居ないわけだ。
aaand here we are, in the parking structure underneath.
そしてやっと来た地下駐車場。
isnt my car shiny? cleaned it for once 🙂
クルマぴきあってね？洗ったぜ 🙂
thought i was going to get pulled over for that huge LSD letter lol once Non was distributing the OS products, the packages were stuck on customs because of that LSD writing lol
あのデカいLSDの文字で警察に止められるかと思ったよ（笑。前にノンさんがOSこっちで卸してた時に、税関引っ掛かった事とかあるからねあのLSDの文字で（笑
lot of peeps liked this color.
俺のホイール人気だった。

so, i got this message through a friend of mine.
message reads as follows,
“Since My seats have arrived they are taken apart to be painted and cleared. I’m also adding a few comfort things to the racing seats. The seats are Very good knock offs. Strafe sells them for 1400 shipped. I am also going to use a Replica harness because I’m going to add the Strafe logo instead. These are my thoughts who cares where or what these 2 items are? I’m not going to track my car so who cares if they are real or knock offs I mod everything and why waste the money. The seats are sick. $1400 shipped is best part.. Now what Foo?”
now what foo? the hell think you are.
geesh.
oh, btw here’s the link to a build using this replica shiets.
the message buddy sent me was embedded from this thread.
amazing eh?
cant even take pictures correctly.
i dont understand why the thread viewers are commenting with “amazing ride, cant wait for the build to be done, etc etc” are they bunch of fags on the G35 forums? its a piece of shit lol is the car even a real G35? lol maybe its a knock-off. who knows. either way its a bad reputation for Infiniti. not a great way to start marketing for a used G35 cars…
but yea, if anyone is planning to buy a seat from Strafe Automotive (btw his name is Lawrence aka Law), go for it. its replica. who knows whats going to happen. i’ve seen couple that snapped in half before. if you die, you die. dont blame it on me.
good luck hard parkers.
been talking about this gap we have with them. a FIA approved EXAS III but with a larger waist size. or, doesnt have to be FIA. can be accommodated with SFI regulation which lot of NASCAR peeps uses as well. currently under our line of products, there is no race certified (FIA, SFI etc) seat that fits into a small car such as a Mazda Miata or a Honda S2000, where a lot of track demands are high. they can just close off their glove box and strip off the door panles maybe? lol but now the problem is the waste sizing. our seat, the typical Asian size, is not a US friendly size along with the height of the shoulder bolsters.
think big people dont drive a small car? they actually love the small cars as myself being 6’3 half sized 1/4 Korean mixed Japanesian with a waist size of 38-40. tall people drives Lotus Exige in Europe. fat peeps drives a Miata here in US. small people drives a Hummer H2 in Japan lol such a high demand big people have for a small car. and majority dont fit in our seat lol and thats why other companies such as RECAROs and SPARCOs (with FIA certification) is still a top notch seller out there in the motorsports market and we have more name on the show car market. which is sad. i’ve been wanting to close off this gap so it will open up to more variety of end users.
but, yea tooling cost and other mucho dineros seeks behind this production. how should i pull this out from them in this such recession moments… even if i was able to spot a funding source (which i already have actually), they’d be conservative and just leave a grin in my face. or even if i earn a actual GO for the production, shiet takes time to make a seat. just like the XL ZETA III we have. took 2 years, and thats a pretty darn long time frame for a end user to actually wait for the seat to come out. and users have switched to other manufactures which is understandable. i would. cant be waiting that long.
sigh.
