Well, after spending what was my entire budget at Schimmel, my car (that was running just fine before going there mind you) now can't get past 6psi, the piping keeps blowing off because it was put together in a manner that was below standard and now, while at NGP, they can't figure out why it isn't getting fuel past 9psi.

I'm waiting to talk shit. I'm waiting to fucking go off and just call bullshit on every shop I've ever gone to so far but it's fucking unprofessional and at the end of the day, it' doesn't help anyone out.

The number one lesson I've learned which, funny enough was the motto of my friend that I met when I first got back into seriously modding cars...

NOTHING BEATS DOING IT YOURSELF.

And the worse part is that it was an extremely expensive lesson. One for which I should have learned many summers ago.

Some people, and more than not, simply don't take pride in their work. Double check your god damn installation. If someone comes into your shop and spends multiple thousands of dollars, would you think it would be wise to maybe make sure the car gets boost? Fuck, maybe just test drive the fucking car for more than .5 miles in the first place?

I am no longer going to bring my car to any other shop that I don't know personally for the rest of my life from here on out. If I can't fix it myself, then I'll learn. Plain and simple.

So, where it stands now, if the current bill gets past a set point, I'm pulling the plug and parting the car. That's it. I'm fucking done with this project once and for all if it gets to that point.

Episode 11: Weekend Stuntin' from krate motors on Vimeo.

Dynamat just tweeted (I'm still getting used to these stupid new intertron buzzwords) about Roxy. Thanks for the mention dude(s) =)

Episode #10: Just sayin'... from krate motors on Vimeo.


This one is lengthy and ranty and emo-y. I promise I'll be funnier when I stop wanting to kill people.

(hd version is at vimeo like always blah blah blah)

p.s. On a personal note: This video isn't calling anyone out. It's me venting about anything and everything. Measures have been taken by involved parties to help me out as much as physically possible with the current situation and I am sure I will be more than satisfied when everything gets sorted. It's probably just a stupid boost leak and I'm crying over nothing. No hate, everyone's cool et al.

Was that vague enough for ya folks? (lawls)

p.p.s. Bubba alerted me that certain areas in this video may seem like shit talking towards Jason or anyone else. It is not intended. I was merely shit talking about engines with bad head gaskets. I heart Jason. You see what happens when you vent? It's getting damn near impossible to properly shit talk on the internet nowadays without offending someone (lawls pt2)

Episode #9: Drop and Some Rollers from krate motors on Vimeo.

HD version on vimeo site blah blah blah

Well, we hit 100,000 hits on this blog sometime today. I didn't even know it was that high until I randomly checked.

That's fucking awesome =) Thanks guys/gals for being so interested and lending the support you have. It really does make my shitty day better haha


Episode #8: Coming Out of Hibernation from krate motors on Vimeo.

HD is on vimeo if you want better quality as always...


Anyhoo, if you haven't seen it, check the new video for updates. Hopefully, we'll be picking Roxy up from Schimmel this weekend but I'm not holding my breath (yes I am).

Then it's on to proper updates soon. Btw, Kate's Lucy came out FUCKING SICK so updates with that one soon as well.

Thanks again all. I really appreciate the support =)
