Today I have something cheap, simple, and quick for you – the best of all worlds in one. It’s also very JDM. Well, not really, but kinda, maybe? The backstory – a short while back I was browsing through Japanese owners’ pages like I often do and noticed that quite a few of them were READ MORE

Donna L. Kobbe Memorial Cruise Night, New Castle PA
It’s been a long time. I haven’t been to a local or regional meet in probably ten years. That changed recently when by pure chance I happened to see a cruise night happening in my area while on my way back from Lowe’s. Driving by, it seemed reasonably large, so I thought I’d stop and READ MORE
Have-a-Seat
Today I performed surgery. It’s not my first time either, it’s my second – I gave my driver’s seat a bolsterectomy. It was a great success and I am basking in my own glory. Unfortunately, I don’t get paid. Here’s the story behind why I hacked the living shit out of a $32,000 car’s driver’s seat. READ MORE
Intermerge TPU License Plate Frame
OK, quiz time – what’s one of the cheapest, easiest, and most necessary mods you can do to your vehicle? If you said, “Get a good license plate frame!” then give yourself a pat on the back, because you get an “A”. License plate frames are one of the simplest things you can do to READ MORE
Noble Performance LED T15 Bulbs
One thing I’ve noticed about most auto enthusiasts and some non-enthusiasts as well, is that often we like to upgrade our cars to fix little practical things that can be annoying or maybe just sub-par. Things that, while they don’t add any actual performance improvements, they do make the time spent in our cars more READ MORE
LAILE/Beatrush QBR-50 Aluminum Shift Knob
As a long-time manual transmission driver, one of the most important things in my opinion when it comes to bonding with a vehicle is the feel of the car’s shifter. Considering that the shifter is going to be one of the most frequently used controls in the car, having a shifter that feels good in READ MORE
Video: Remark Elite Spec Catback Exhaust – Demo & Comparison vs. OEM
Created a demo & comparison video for the new exhaust. It includes clips of both the OEM stock muffler and the Remark so you can compare the two, plus a short pull away and return clip so you can hear what it sounds like in normal use. This is also the inaugural video for my READ MORE
Remark Elite Spec Catback Exhaust – First Impressions
The wait is over! I finally got a chance to have my Remark Elite Spec catback exhaust installed yesterday and after a day or so of driving around I think I can share some of my initial impressions with you. First off, here’s what it looks like on the car. If it looks a little READ MORE
Muffler Cat awaits!
Indeed she does, but for what you might ask? The installation of a brand-new Remark Elite Spec Catback Exhaust system! And she’s not going to have to wait very long at this point because I am currently writing this post as I wait at the dealership to have it installed. Here’s what’s in the box READ MORE
Why Nagano?
“Why Nagano?” Good question, to which I lamely replied, “Because.” There really wasn’t much else I could say, to be fair. Now, I get what my wife was getting at – I had lived in both Sapporo and Osaka, so why not one of the cities I had actual ties with? Unfortunately, eBay doesn’t READ MORE
