A Thought for Tweenie Rob & The Charity

Known to some as possibly one of the biggest and best names in the business, Tweenie Rob was involved in a fatal accident not so long ago. Thoughts go out to friends and family – A member over on DW (Lex) a friend of Rob, Has gone ahead and set up a charity to help the family out.

In Lex’s words..

Rob was a good friend of mine and since his passing I have been concentrating on positive things that I can do to help a difference for his family
 
I have approached many of the traders in our scene and asked them to contribute something that can in 1st instance be sold to generate some cash to Rob’s funeral and once this target has been reached be donated to a trust fund for his daughter Lauren to have when she is 18
 
Here is a link to the full auction which i posted in ‘parts for sale’ as many people lurk just to grab bargains

Tweenie Rob Charity

Cheers,
Lex 

Please show your support – There is some pretty nifty things on the Ebay Auction found here : http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/TweenieRobCharity__W0QQ_armrsZ1

TOUGE to TRACK : MFC:III vs R35

Hmm.. I was trying out the wordpress app on my new iPhone and it seems to have not worked – strange.. anywho, Here we find outrselfs to possibly one of the last track sesh’s of the year.. and what better way to end it, than with the newly 300hp found Minty.Fresh EVO III Touge Edition.

When TK San told me he was hitting up Knockhill for a track day held by the guys over @ Track Scotland, I knew I needed to get my ass down there and snap the shots.. The conditions.. were, well.. Wet. Cold and overal, not too pleasant to be standing in what can only be described as a glorified bus shelter.. however; needs must when it comes to Automotive Photography.

A VISUAL REP : Lynch’s Coop

The day Lynch turned up at my door with his new coop, it was like a breath of fresh air.. The same but different I said to him. It was a nice feeling to see another green coupe roll round the empty streets of Alford.

lynch's coop

Within no time at all I got to work with removing those fantastic JDMyO decals on the car, tearing the what can only be described as gashly red badge off, and removing other random crap for example the fire bung in the rear.. to which, im still a tad unsure why it would be placed in one of the most random locations be it.. Anywho, He’s not done anything to this car yet.. with Beats and coil’s to go on, along with some other tasty treats.. this car has potential to become the follow through from the best coupe in the shire..

What I must say thought, the previous owner of this car did some good things.. OEM Full pre-facelift lift kit, stamped int the book as an optional extra. OEM Fogs and some nice S2K seats (not my choice, but the look nice) – Im sure it shant be long before Lynch can take the levels up on this coop and getting to the grade MFC needs.

On the Japan front I have less than 50 days to go.. and im gone. Cant Wait!

SPRING CLEANING : in the ice

It would be off to say the car hasnt had a clean going by the fact its had several baths due to serious rain fall over the previous weeks.. however, clean soapy water was something a far.

Today Kyle popped round with the DC2, we decided to give our imports a little bit of care and attention through the up coming winter colds.. nothing too epic, only a minor wash and shine..

As per – nothing majour.. only 50 odd days till Japan comes around……. e p i c !

WHAT AM I PAYING YOU FOR?

THATS RIGHT! GET BACK IN LINE!

Over the weekend just past of madness, poker, drinking, bar room brawling, DJ Mehdi Concert’s, more drinking we managed to fit in some time to get some last minute work done to our dream machines.. with winter coming right around the corner.. and the terrible floods as of.. this one day of sunshine and some what of warmth.. was taken full advantage of.

The s15’s brakes were in savage need of a refurb – After getting 2x front kits thanks to Dan @ DBpower we set to work on getting them apart and working like new again – thanks to non other than the TK himself.. it was done in no time and it feels better than ever.

FMIC came off for a general inspection on the hose’s and clamps – Due to 2 pervious failures with the pipe I wanted to ensure it was now going to be of no more issues in the future.. all taken down, dusted, cleaned and sorted correctly! Job done.. last thing on the list? Stick some nice new all the way from Yokohama… custom made carbon fibre Canards for the EVOIII of TK San.

This EVO just got spec’d up with some nice new engine toys – full details on JDMtas.com – She’s putting out around 300hp now and bag loads of toque!
