    Garage Highlights

    The past few days, I have been working on my car trying to get it finished.  Here are some highlights from working in the garage.

    Pulling out of my little garage spot and getting into a larger area, ready to put in work.

    It’s always satisfying to have that space to yourself, where you can focus and get your hands dirty, fixing and tuning everything until it’s just right. The garage becomes a sanctuary of sorts, where all the tools are within reach, and the satisfaction of a job well done is just a few steps away.

    If you’re spending a lot of time in your garage, having a reliable garage door is essential for convenience and security. Whether you’re renovating your workspace or just upgrading your home, professional garage door installation and repair services can make all the difference. For a more refined look, incorporating finishes like Calacatta marble in adjacent entryways or countertops can add a luxurious touch to the overall design. Complementing the space with outdoor mats that last can also help maintain cleanliness and durability around high-traffic entry points.

    A smooth-operating garage door ensures easy access, protecting your vehicles and belongings while giving your space a clean, polished look. For those in need of top-notch garage door services, All Star in Utah is a trusted name that delivers expert installation and repair solutions.

  • SUBIE SUBIE VROOM

    SUBIE SUBIE VROOM

    Today was planned out like any other Wednesday. Head off to school bright and early in the morning, meet up with Bonnie after school to grab a bite to eat, and then head off to Disneyland, but today involved a different turn of events. Bonnie had work at 5P.M. today, so we decided to cancel our Disneyland trip and do something else instead. We gave my good friend Dennis a visit at his work place. Dennis works at Performance Nissan in the City of Industry. We met about a year ago through Team Supastar. From that point on, we became really good friends.

    Dennis drives a 2002 Subaru WRX. He recently told me that he purchased a new set of wheels for his car, so I got really excited after hearing that. Dennis has gone through many different sets of wheels, from ROTAS to ADVANS to WORKS. This time around, Dennis went with SSR and to be more specific, he purchased  a set of SSR GPO’S. Now, I know what everyone is thinking, “WHERE IN THE WORLD DID HE FIND A SQUARE SETUP OF THAT TYPE OF WHEEL?!” Wrong!! Dennis decided to go outside of the box and run a staggered set of wheels on his All Wheel Drive Subie. Now, all of you are probably thinking, “OHH MAN, HE IS GOING TO FUCK UP HIS TRANNY!” Wrong again!!! Dennis has everything planned out. He is going to make his staggered setup run perfectly fine on his Subaru. We’re all going to take a real quick Subie lesson. So, what destroys the transmission on a Subie when running a staggered setup is tire sizing. One tire ends up spinning earlier than the other because of the difference in diameter sizing. So what Dennis has planned is to carefully calculate the correct tire size so that all four wheels have the exact same diameter for all four wheels to spin at the exact same time. Just in case that plan fails and somehow ends up ruining his transmission, Dennis still has another plan up his sleeve. He has an extra transmission laying around at home, so if his current one breaks, he is ready to replace it with a new one. The plan doesn’t stop there. If Dennis’ transmission decides to break, he is already planning to do a Rear Wheel Drive conversion with the other transmission, so his staggered setup will definitely work on the car.

    Now that everyone knows a little something about Dennis and his car, we can move on to the pictures.
