'96 Nissan 240SX SE
Normally, this section is where we talk about new stuff we've purchased for our project cars or progression thereof, but in this case, it's the exact opposite. After two-plus years of fallowing on public streets, depreciating the neighbors' property value, I've finally gotten rid of my S14. Originally purchased as my "track" project car, the only track it's seen is that of cobwebs and paw prints. Now, in the hands of Elliott "Mr. Super Lap" Moran, the project will continue (more like start) and hopefully the Nissan will see the light of (track) day. The plot thickens: Vanessa Lam, our new web girl with loads of circuit experience, also rocks a modified S14. Look for a showdown, soon.

Happy Birthday to me!
A few weeks ago, my significant other surprised me with a 26-gallon air compressor as a birthday present. Having a girlfriend who's as passionate about cars as me rocks! Rated at 160psi, the 26-gallon Craftsman air compressor was a major upgrade from my previous 20-year-old hand-me down, but even the new unit was missing one important item every air compressor should use-an inline air filter. When compressing air, a concentration of particles and moisture increases, creating an abrasive mixture that can cause air-tools to malfunction and paint guns to emit contaminating water droplets. A quick run to the local Sears and I had a heavy duty air-line filter and fittings to finagle onto the compressor.

'94 Acura Integra
As the Miata remains jack-st(r)anded in my driveway, awaiting major driveline modification, I promised myself I'd leave the DC2 alone so I wouldn't miss work on account of owning two down project cars. That was before Kevin from Buddyclub shipped me these new billet P-1 rear lower control arms. Saving weight, boasting urethane bushings and severely upping the race-prepped "bling" factor, I just had to call in sick one morning and put them on. What can I say-I'm serious about my commute!
