I friggen hope so. :/ I want an OK from Ray..Not no "Certified Mazda Tech " at some shady dealership. :/ More like Certified loser. Plus Ray can make suggestions on some BHR stuff I should buy from him for my car too.. :P

I'm surprised no one is interested in that event at HMS though..but then again Ray is in Detroit and Kev doesn't enjoy going to that crap cause he sucks. :P

 

I'll try and be sure to bring the proper tooling with me.....if I can get a comprehensive list of what I will be needed for at this meet by at least 4/14, if not sooner. I might even have some BHR goodies to show you for future ordering. BTW, I am flattered that you trust me to be honest with you guys about that which I offer. I also wish to make it clear that we can place orders on-site for stuff you may want. More importantly, though, is that I am interested in trying to get you the stuff that is best for you and your car...not BHR and my bottom-line. As such, if there is something you need/want that I cannot get I will find the best deal for you and you are free to order it on your own.

 

Sounds awesome and is good to know. Thanks for that heads up Ray. It'll be a good time on Sunday, I can tell for sure. Oh and my girlfriend gets back from Rome the 17th apparently..So looks like we'll have one hottie in a skirt at the meet. :P

But yeah, Thanks again for offering time to check out the car Ray. I'll go more in depth with my actual plans for the car once we touch base in person. But definantly want you to feel how she is now, then things you think should be done, even if just a maintenance rather then performance too.

 

I assume you are talking about your car and NOT your girl with this statement? I would be happy to help you, and anybody else, lay out a plan for mods and tuning. Helping people to spend their money, whether with BHR or not, is always fun for me. I used to LOVE doing this in the Home Theater/Automation field years ago. The hardest part is knowing which parts will work in harmony with all the others.

 

LOL yes.. Definitely the car at that part. That's cool though. If it helps you feel any better, I'm aiming to go BHR for conventional things such as Radiator and what not, and RE Amemiya for sways and strut bars and exhaust setup. I have a whole excel spread sheet if you want to check it out too. Call me a loser, I'm just big into JDM (real JDM..not yo yo rice ****. :/) especially those Best Motoring videos and what not.

 

Like anything else in life, the fundamentals upon which your actions are guided need to be solidly focused on a theme or concept. For example, if JDM is your goal then every decision made, without compromise(whenever possible), should reflect that premise. This is what RJ DeVera talks about all the time when it comes to show cars. Shinka has done a pretty good job of it with regard to her own car, for example. She has a bit of room for growth, IMO, but you get my point. Her car is so tasteful that I often find myself a bit jealous. Same with MM's car.

This same thing holds true for performance issues, as well. Balance is essential.

 

I'm the "Anti-JDM".....

 

Shall I bring boxing gloves?

 

...Yeah. Ray is definitely checking out my car first guys. He said what I've been trying to figure out how to say...And he said it easily. :/ Get your Anti-JDM punk *** outta here. lol.. He lies. He's all "I'm Anti-JDM" yet he's getting clear corners.. and was interested in some other JDM parts here and there. :P

But thanks for that Ray, that makes sense.

 

Hmm maybe i should get the clear LED ones... those arent from japan.... And Ray needs to see me first thing when he gets there.....

 

I smell a BBQ Brawl-out. It's okay, after I win, I'll be kind enough to let you keep your teeth for the cookie Ray is bringing. :P

 

I just might have a 240MM "cookie". For viewing only, though, not eating.

 

hahaha, you make good jokes!!

Anyways Mr. Drift King.... hehe.... if you saw Ray, theres plenty to go around

 

Hey! Who else can slide right into an RX-8's trunk? I am not THAT fat!

 

Fat? no... tall... yes. and you wear such cute PJ's!

 

LOL ooooooh OUCH. Good times. You guys are nuts. :P

EDIT: lol..what's missing from this picture? Oooh.. I think a beer. :P

 

I wouldn't call 5'10" tall(most of it forehead!) but thanks anyway. That shirt I am wearing was made by my son when he was 10 years old(4 years ago). I'll bring it with me.

 

look at his eyes, looks like he drank them all

and thats still 4 inches taller than me... so youre a tall ****** to me

 

That was exhaustion. I don't drink.

 

well then... more for me!

 

WOW. No ****. Finally someone else who can openly admit that they don't drink like myself. Ray, careful saying those words.. the "I don't drink" over here in Boston. Everytime I say it.. I get looks like I'm from another planet. I was at Astral's house last night (Oleg) and his roommate's girlfriend gave me a look like I just grew 50 heads.

 

I don't care about any of that. My life story with regard to the troubles drinking has wrought is enough to sober anybody up and I no longer feel shame for any of it.

 

Well, Im glad you fixed yourself! and seems like from all the PM's youre a real cool guy so as long as you give me your beers, we're cool!

 

I hear ya Ray. Well that's cool to hear. Man I got to get back to work.. :/ crap to do.

 

Were it not for my own sobriety, BHR wouldn't exist as I would not have had the nerve to do it. I am not squeaky-clean, though.
