I haven’t posted anything since winter. Now its Fall and almost Winter again. I’ve made several new videos since my last post. Here are all the new vids. Enjoy.

Car videos:

Been a bit. Have been getting back to my roots of taking photos and filming videos. I have some older drift footage that I would like to make into a video as well. I have started that and will complete that this weekend. This video should be a little teaser.

The footage is not that great. I forgot to zoom out and I forgot to set AF. It’s short though.

Short post right now because it’s after midnight already and I think I am getting sick :-/

Went with adam to go see The STI he wants to get and the car is mint and like brand new. Pretty sick deal at 29k for a 2008 Subaru STI.

I came home, and session’d this book I am reading. Adam let me borrow the book and its a life changer. The 4-hour Workweek. I can’t put it down, and I can’t wait to read more of it tomorrow.(I put it down to go to sleep, and write this) Lots of great advice and I’ve had a lot of the same thoughts as the author. It is a pretty sweet book no less, and I recommend it to everyone. There is something everyone can gain from this book, and it will have an impact on your life.

Drinking some OJ!!

I loved this photo. Makes me want to buy a new camera and take cool photos of cars.

My 2001 Audi S4 is in need of a new clutch and new turbos. I have 86k on my car now and with a new clutch and turbos it could probably go another 50k with near 500 bhp. Sounds pretty fun to me, or my other option is to think about a new car. less maintenance and to stop modding my car. It’s becoming too much of a money hog and its very addicting. I feel like it might be nicer to break the habit.

The new 2010 Audi S4 is a 3.0li Supercharged engine putting out 333hp. My Current S4 is a Twin Turbo putting out about 350hp but with new turbos could be very close to 500hp.

What to do, what to do…

I updated the video I posted yesterday because it was filmed at night and you couldn’t see anything. The video was unedited and really crappy looking. The new version, is filmed during the day so you can actually see stuff. I tried to edit this using iMovie on my MacBook, but imovie is so noob, that I don’t know how to use it. So I installed Final Cut and did it that way.

The video is still not very well edited. This is my first time using FC and it’s been 8 years since I’ve touched video editing software.

I don’t really care if the video does well on youtube, I made it for the people I know that wanted to hear what the JHM 2.5 inch exhaust sounded like on an Audi S4. In the video you will see that I need a new clutch pretty bad. After the first launch, or lack or launch, it smelt so bad. Lot of burning clutch. The second launch, I didn’t drop the clutch because it will probably hate me. Until I get a new VAST stage 3 clutch my launches are going to suck.

Enjoy the video, maybe soon, there will be another of my drifting my Audi this past winter in the snow. Check back soon. Thanks! Back to werking for coins.

This scares me a lot because I drive an 01 Audi S4 that’s faster than that. This one appeared stock. I take my car to the track every so often, but I have never gone over 125 in my car, and probably won’t. Speed is not so much the trill for me, it’s the acceleration. That’s why I go to the drag strip. So I can speed legally.

The driver and 3 passengers of this car survived, and the driver was hit with a fine, and his license was suspended, because of the posting on youtube.com.

Here’s 2 videos of a guy in control and not breaking any laws:

My hero, and to top it off Bobbie Light’s gonna do you right.

I’m about to drop more money on new tires from Tire Rack because my tires got toast last season from a blown tie-rod end. If I knew my tires were only going to last 4 months I would have got 18″ OZ’s last season with 18″ tires. It is like half the price to get 18″ wheels and tires as it is to get 19″ wheels and tires. Boy did I make the wrong decision! I also probably have to get my wheels straightened because of pothole damage. Not thrilled about this :-/

I did get my JHM exhaust yesterday. Super happy about that. I can’t wait to put them on. I opened the boxes just to make sure they were ok and fit right. They fit together like they were made together… they were. I’ll post pics and video of that sound once I get it installed.

My friends took me out for dinner. Thanks Dan, Pete and Adam. H.

March what! Downing Milo’s

So many photos I can’t organize them. I have almost all of them uploaded so I will need a little more time before the photos will show up here. Remember when you check out the photos, you can use your Facebook account to make comments.

I’m on the 3rd season of Rob and Big. show is tight son! haha.

Just went out and stredded parking lots in my car with @twitpetebow

Going to bed late tonight hoping for a delayed opening at my work.

I have been recently been looking at new cars. Probably because I’m bored or something. I’ve been thinking about getting a winter beater car while I build a race car haha. My Audi S4 is doing fine and I love it. I think I will probably keep it for as long as I can. I don’t have any plans to sell the car, I plan to keep modding it, which will eventually be a racecar hehe. So im looking to save miles or get another car to mess around with in the winter.

I’ve been looking into Jeep Wranglers, a second 2001 Audi S4, Subaru WRX/STI, or a 2004 VW R32. As you can see it must be AWD.

I thought about getting the Wrangler so I could plow in the winter. I think it would be cool to make some extra cash, and I like to drive in the snow. Audi S4, WRX, or R32 would be sick to just have and mess around with. I probably won’t get a new car but its fun to think of it. I really need to be saving for a new 2010 S4 or a 2011 RS4. We’ll see.

Here is a video of some R32’s in the snow. Good video by Smash:

This is on a JHM tuning on plane k04 turbos. I would think that this is on the “pure race” setting on 100+ oct. The goal of my car is to be very fast on 93 to be “pure street” fastest. I plan to get my turbo kit from JHM, and their FMIC kit as well. I will also be getting the Vast stage 2 clutch they sell, and True dual 2.5 inch exhaust.

I am thinking I should have JHM do my tuning as well. I have the APR chip now, which has stock, 93, 104, and vallet, but I never switch it. So there is no point. I would need only 1 setting for “pure street.”

Shooting for fastest, full interior, full weight, street B5 S4 on 93. haha we’ll see.

Thanks Bill!
