Very interesting, and good read.

More random garbling of images I found on the internet that happened to peak my curiosity.









More Mode Parfume: Black center w/ Bronze lip









I see SP3-Rs on display. I would not mind running these on the GT-R in 17 inch sizing.....





I am pretty sure that cap will work on all the other professors....

Everyone pretty much knows of Tsuruhashi, but whenever I go (and I go frequently) it still never gets old. I can count all the good japanese BBQ restaurants in Southern california on one hand. Out of that I only prefer 2 so far.

I was approached by a customer roughly 4 months ago who wanted clean 19 mesh wheels in step lip for his IS350 daily driver. The customer was an older gentleman and did not want the fitment to be too outrageous (although it was recommended at first). I recommended the SSR Professor MS1 (step lip, 19 inch, good sizing, color options). However he didn't want the same old Grey silver that the wheel came in, and wanted the "brightest silver". Being that SSR offers 18 different colors, I recommended the STARBRIGHT SILVER straight from the SSR Type F. This color has tons of pearl and flake to it, especially in the sunlight, and I had not seen anyone with it yet. It would look clean, sporty and mature, but at the same time, would stand out versus all the other MS1s out there until people decide they have no originality and just copy the look.

After 2 months of wait, they finally showed up, and they look just as amazing as I had pictured it in my head:

Standard Grey Silver (Common Snapper S30Z)  Please click for a larger image.



SSR MS1 in Starbright Silver. Picture intensive.

















Some people might say they don't see a huge difference. I guess that's even better since the few that can, and have an eye for details, can appreciate it even more.

I will soon have pictures of the car with wheels and tires mounted.

Took a friend there to visit after a while and checked out new projects/snapped a few pictures. This is the caliber of a professional racing shop.

Just some of the stuff going on at the shop.....

Me and my boss did some maintenance work on the beater (99 4 banger Jetta).





Replaced water pump, timing belt, tensioner/pulley, drive belts, front main seal, all that stuff. Pretty much need to replace all that stuff at 100,000 miles and you need to take ALL of it off to get to the water pump. Lovely design.



Replaced the leaking valve cover gasket, and the intake manifold gasket while I was it.

Ferrari Enzo, something from Star wars, or a Transformer? Not sure at first, but it looks pretty cool. Gemballa (same famous Porsche tuner) decided to give the guys in Dubai some love and make a one off tweaked Ferrari Enzo for one of their Middle  eastern dealers.













PS: Needs wider wheels.

Clean Sunburst Yellow FD from either NZ or AUS with SSR Professor SP1s.
