One of a kind
This is probably how every car guy feels at one point in time.
this is also one reason i got a street car. to let everything go when times are rough and know you still have your sanity.

Do it for the love
My cousin here is an awesome artist and talented in his work. Growing up with him, i got to see his artwork progress and it is nothing but spectacular.
He recently started a magazine called, "instigatorzine" which features artist and writers to express their views and what they believe.
watch the vid and help support a great magazine!
he's such a goofball but we are who we are hehe.

East Coast Bash 2011
Hey guys, i apologize for the lack of updates. Been busy with school and balancing everything out. All is good and i can't believe how fast time flies! I remember when i was just stripping the car down and the season is halfway done already..
So after street wars i brought the car to Jon Graf @ Grafworks. We became real close friends after last season and he's the man to go to when times are in a crunch. Basically we had 2 weeks to finish the car before ECB. The list didn't seem to big but there was so much work to be done. And like always something had to just not work one way or another. I went up to help as much as possible within my school schedule. No matter how tired i was i stayed optimistic and hungry to get it done. Long and behold it definitely payed off!
Eager to get the car actually running. Jon and i got the car running about 2 days before the event. Then finally buttoned the car up to run about 3 hours before the event. Unaware of how the car would be perform i tested it in a random parking lot before load up and she was alive!
I won't lie i was kinda nervous to see how the car would hold up, let alone myself. I haven't driven for about a year maybe? Last event was freedom moves so it's been a long time. Although, it was pretty much like riding a bike. Get use to it and off you go! I did a few laps to figure out the car and all. Kept a good eye on the vitals, and looked for anything that would come loose. Fortunately, nothing really went bad compared to last year. The motor held up good and was loving boost.
I am really impressed with how good the Jim Wolf Technology ecu works. Along, with the synapse wastegate and bov. They both stand by their promise and perform amazingly. I was able to throw more and more boost at the motor with the JWT ecu without a problem. Im astonished at how well synapse wastegate hold boost and comes in super strong. The set ports on the wastegate itself make it super easy to low to high boost settings. By far the best wastegate setup i've ever ran.
Since interning for Bergenholtz Racing and putting time into the build. Surprisingly i feel a lot more comfortable in the car compared to last season. It feels like a whole new animal really and easier to drive the car. Im running ma-motorsports knuckles this time, and a solid motor as well. For only being on 10lbs of boost, the car feels pretty quick. I can't wait to see how 14-16psi feels with better adjustments.
Some reason my car always debuts on the day of ECB. But there really is no better event to drive at then this. Luckily this year went good and i didn't catch fire or anything crazy like that. The car held up great and only had a hiccup or two. i was really bummed i didn't run tandem. Right when i was about to go out for the night session my fuse block kept popping. Which would cut off my gauges, headlights, and even my fans. So i decided to not risk it and call it day. Nothing really goes good when it's rushed, but at least theirs next time. The car will be fixed and ready for the 16th.
I had a great time at ECB! Got to see familiar faces and some new ones. Chat with old friends and catch up with everyone. And most importantly i got to finally drive again! I feels great to have a car i can feel confident with and drive relatively calm in. i will try my best to keep driving and learn new things along the way.
Thank you Matt, Tim, and the clubloose family for holding an awesome event! Drifting would be dead without you guys. I also want to thank the great photographers for producing these amazing shots. I'd like to thank Jon and the Graf family for sticking with me this whole time. My brother and family for all the support. And all my great sponsors for keeping this car top notch and reliable!

Blood sweat, and no tears yet
Gettin a little progress on the car. I didn't like how flimsy the rad support was. I should of remade it with piping to make it much easier. But for now i just supported it a bit and ill have the original support for the headlights. Finished mocking up the dumb tube, need to get the v band tigged on. Also started on the wiring with the boys. So far its lookin good, should have it running by the weekend hopefully. The stack gauge is soooo much full of WINNING.
I almost cut my index finger off too lol. Got lucky on the band saw.

Limited ESR/MR T-Shirt
Hey everyone! I am proud to announce the new team shirt for the 2011 season. We are fortunate to again work with the great people of Eat Sleep Race. This year the tee features some new designs along with new sponsor affiliates. We just offered these to the public at Street Wars 7. Luckily, we still have stock and you can purchase any size tee for just $24 + shipping.
All sizes consist of S-2XL. The shirts fit very firm. Fyi the L-XL go fairly quick. I personally where a L and im only 5'8" 165lbs. So you need to be a small frame to fit a medium. And if your husky, the L or XL fit great. I will be handling the deliveries of the tee's for all profits will be proceeds to our race/sponsorship program. Help out your local driver, and get your tee while you still can!
If interested in purchasing you may contact me @
edmsil80@gmail.com
thank you so much for the support and ill be seeing you guys in the stands!

Sorta Alive
i have lost motivation on my car for some odd reason. And now i find myself in a huge rush to get everything together. I guess i got caught up into motorcycles for a second. But watching shit like this and seeing everyones progress fires me up a bit.
on that note. im building my coupe street style right after the hatch is done.

I Got to keep on movvvvinnnn
Long needed update. I have been moving stuff from the old house and the fellas visited my bro on the best coast for a weekend. And holy shit i can't believe it march already. Next month is the start of madness. Luckily, my parts started comin in!
my brother ernie @ tribe agency, has been working with vibrant for a bit now. Fortunately as a client, they were kind enough to help us out and send us some of their phenomenal products.
ordered up a bunch of fab stuff for my midmount and piping etc.
Super stoked on getting the chance to run the synapse products. I've been reading nothing but great things about it over @ motoiq.com
The quality of this bov is quite amazing. It looks and feels top notch, and i can't wait to hear it scream.
Here's the bung for the Bov. It's much smaller compared to the tial and hks bungs i previously ran.
This is the 50mm wastegate ill be running. It's a v-band setup, for easy access and wrenching at the track.
Again, nothing but great quality. Not from my point n click camera though lol
I'll be sending my manifold over to a family friend to tig up the v band setup and extend the tube since it hits my strut tower as of now.
here's an oil feed setup, pretty much the best kit i've seen from any company. It includes everything you need for a top mount setup.
And what would a vibrant order be without some custom piping!
These babies finally came in as well.
Learned a trick from my mentor, so im gona see how these work out.
i dropped the motor in to see how the mid mount piping would mock up. Not to shabby, just need to work around the turbo pipe.
But i took it out to put the trans on and get the mani's welded up.
i leave you with a pic of my work station. Again another procedure i learned from my mentor lol.
Since its March, im gonna have to work on the car everyday to get it ready. First events april 2nd so i need to get a move on. Im starting to get antsy to get sideways again. But not so much about these gas prices ='(
lol u gotta love ur parents music. jesus christ hahaha

Time flys!
late update..did just about all the paint work. I must say, i hate prepping for paint. i wish i had a sand blaster and paint gun to make this go by easier and cleaner. Rattle cans and wire wheels take too long.
Other then that, i put the subframe back in after this and dropped the motor in for mockup and such. But just about everything is ready to go back in. I have to re-order rear pbm bushings cause i f'ed up a money order. Still got a bit to go so i gotta hussle my ass cause the season is around the corner.
Another big reason, i recently got off the phone with Clark from JWT and it seems he will be sponsoring me on his sweet parts for this season :) (Big thanks to Mike Kojima and Kuya for the help) Im super stoked and the guys at JWT are very knowledgeable. And hopefully within the season i can run their head parts and see where else they plan to push for the ka.
Billy Boy putting in work on the fire shooter
Been having good times with Kenny the bear lol
And i finally got to meet Hiro =)
And to put the icing on the cake. I will be goin on tour with the full tilt poker team this year for the 2011 Formula D season. I am joining up with team bergenholtz again, as i did some internship for him last year but fell short due to funds. But this year i will attending all 7 events. I'm pretty excited for that as well. Since this year judging will be more about style, more upcoming drivers and teams will be rising. Learning the fundamentals of running a budget based race team, and just being around drifting over all will lengthen my experience this year.

im gonna be a busy guy this summer, especially with all these events going like wildfire along the east. :)
Luckilyyyyy i picked this beast up for a steal!

quick update...i recently got a steroid shot in my back due to tearing a muscle and ligament before thanksgiving. And dam did that needle suck! I did as much as i could physically, but thankfully my brother and the sj mulisha/flatout crew have been hacking away at it.
this was a few nights ago
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs890.ash1/179847_10150128177911079_505426078_7620068_6322401_n.jpg
and this is of last night
decided to go midmount, to save the intercooler and such. My buddy kenny who does bodywork was able to rework my rad support and fix it from my previous crash. We were thinking of tubing it all and such, but we wanna keep it simple. Hopefully in a couple weeks when my backs better i can start helping out and get this together. Need to make a parts list from vibrant and gather more parts.
