Yesterday evening we decided to make the drive out to Riverside to visit Franklin. His car’s been down for awhile and he hasn’t been able to come down our way for awhile. I had been driving a lot this past week, and didn’t really feel like tacking on a drive all the way out to Riverside, so I got a ride with Allan and we both met Yuta over there. It’s been quite awhile since I did a Garage Life post, so I brought along my camera stuff to get a few shots – nothing fancy though. Not sure why, but I don’t really take pictures of what I do outside of events and stuff, but these types of post get good attention; so you can expect more day to day lifestyle type posts like this in the future. Anyway, click past the break for a few more shots.

Sometimes Yuta acts like he’s Japanese. Frank has no rear wheels because he’s waiting for a set to get back from being chromed. After all that’s done and he gets his engine back in I’ll be photographing this car. Can’t wait because this car is super rad.

Allan recently put his new staggered wheel setup on his Fit, and it’s ridiculous to say the least; but in a good way. He had got an alignment that afternoon so it was nice to see how it felt under normal driving conditions.

Here’s a little teaser of the Fit’s setup. 235’s up front and 205’s in back pretty much does the trick. The fenders are spaced a tiny bit, and with 2.5 degrees of camber it really doesn’t rub that bad in turns; I was really surprised. I still suggest extended studs and spacers to help with the inside clearance. The wheels is awfully close to the coilover. I’m glad Allan chose to start building the Fit instead of another civic – this thing is going to be great.

I love Yuta’s sedan. This thing is so unassuming it’s unreal.

Franklin and his Z.

Franky is doing an entire overhaul on his engine, and was almost complete, but the timing belt jumped a tooth when he was tightening one of the cams. Crappy.

After the sun we went to grab some dinner at Pho Ha. We called Kodi Chan after we were done to see what he was doing. We ended up driving to Rowland Heights and meeting him at MJ’s – of which I have no pictures of for some reason. I wanted to take a picture of Kodi Chan’s GC but my laziness got the best of me. So despite starting out in Riverside the night was great – always good to see these guys and talk cars. Take it easy ~
