Where have you been? I remember the day when you and I used to be on i-club ALL the time?

How is school going?

And how come I never see you in the BAIC any more?

So... it's been awhile, so here's a little update.

Here are some cliff notes on the auto-x season.

Slush Round 1: Fun. Not really much to say. I did give the WRX guys a run for their money though. Haha.

Slush Round 2: I think it was Round 1 backwards. That was a lot of fun. I brought out one of my friends (Jes, short for Jessica), and let her run/codrive my car. That was a lot of fun. I've been bugging her for awhile now and she finally came out and played. She actually did really well. Nice and smooth. Just need a bit more seat time and practice.

Here is a video of the event. She's the petite Asian girl driving my car.

Slush Round 3: Monster Park, Gravel, Wet, BMW M3, worn-out clutch, sucky tires, FUN! And I have a video, too. Haha.

Slush Round 4: Didn't go because I was busy with school. Haha. I heard it was a good event though.

Slush Round 5: I actually chaired this event. I was planning on running my car, but I broke something on the car. I stripped a wheel stud and I wasn't going to pass tech. Instead, I drove a friends RS-STi. Trying to sort things out with the set-up and all. The event actually ran really well until the 5th and 6th run group. The computers gave out and we were kind of delayed. Oh well. Things like that happen.

As for the car. Nothing else has really changed. I have a few things I am going to do in the near future. I need to change out the wheel stud and I also have rear brake pads and rotors that are coming in. My old pads and rotors are probably ready to go. Haha.

As for other stuff, not much really. I got a Sparco seat that I swapped in for my Corbeau seat. The Sparco seat holds a lot better than the Corbeau. Especially since it is a fixed bucket seat. I'll probably have to post pictures of that later. Haha.

Haha. I am still around. School is good. Just finished finals on Friday, so I am chilling around Fremont for the next few weeks. Going to be doing some work on the car over break. Going to see if I can squeeze a little more time out of it.

I am still around. I just don't post as much as I used to. Hahaha.
