Back on that grind. Next level

Pulled it off the trailer today. Parked it and stared in appreciation. Maybe it’s time to install those parts I’ve been gathering..

Patience is actually beautiful sometimes. It gives you time to think, and even reflect on where you currently are and how you’ve gotten to that specific moment in time.

I often stare at this piece of machinery I’ve put together for time attack. I see all the details and imperfections and specific retrospec times I ran into something difficult or discovered something cool.

Preserved, but not forgotten. As I get older I realize there’s no need for rushing on a race build (besides wanting to get it back on track) like I did the first year when I spent countless hours/money on this Integra and raced it the following season. It performed flawlessly the entire season. A lover of cornering speed, I’m sure I will always find myself back on track and a wrench in my hand sooner than later. For now, I truly enjoyed driving it to a distant gas station and back home. Unfailingly always on the hunt for speed, but in no rush.

Speed, the basis of all style.

Took my truck out wheelin’ this past weekend in Bend, OR. And visited CVT’s headquarters

It’s been, well, a couple of life changing months. After the purchase of the bimmer, the truck and my new home, my integra has been in the most stagnant stage since it’s purchase. I finally got around to rearranging some things in the garage with the aid of two 90"x90" five shelf industrial racks to be able to fit the integra in my garage. And money has been a little tight since the home purchase 😬

I’ve taken a break from it all and gone out adventuring for the better half of this year, and it’s been great.

Now it’s back to tearing the integra apart for some needed TLC/upgrade on some parts that’s been sitting on the shelf for way too long.

Somehow in the mix of home purchasing and building this integra for track duty, I managed to buy a tow rig/adventure vehicle (as mentioned above) and an e46 bmw. The truck will have a mild overland/trail build, and the bimmer will be another (rwd) time attack piece. As if I don’t have enough projects right?!!?! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ haha, oh wells.

Life is too boring to drive short cars right? Or is it the other way around??
