New Griffin Radiator! Well not exacty new...

most of us supra people are familiar with radiator brands such as Koyo or Fluidyne. but i decided to go with griffen. griffin isn't really a big name in the supra world but is familiar name to others. i picked up a used griffin radiator from a user on 2jztrader.com. the deal was to trade in my old 6-speed radiator for his plus $200. after thinking about it. i actually had a 6-speed radiator that i got for free from a user on supraforums. so i decided to go with the deal. when comparing both the stock and griffin radiator the new radator is way bigger and looks way cool. this is a step up from the existing stock radiator. i can't wait to put it on.

polarg pure yellow H3 bulbs

after doing intensive searches and research i decided to purchase a set of polarg pure yellow bulbs for my fog lights from eautoworks. i read somewhere they are the most yellow bulbs i can find compared to the crappy PIAA Ions. They look really good. I will post pics. But if your planning on getting yellow bulbs, definitely pick up Polarg Pure Yellows.

discount tire co

after having the whole weekend to think about replacing my tires i decided to take the plunge and purchase new tires this morning. it was between the kuhmo SPT or the falken FK-452. korea vs japan... after looking at reviews and falken FK-452 being a newer tire, i decided to go with the falken. i didn't really want to buy tires but i didn't have a choice. the tires were pretty bad and i had to fill them up almost every day. mike, the manger of the discount tire of palm avenue told me theyll arrive tomorrow afternoon... thats one less problem to worry about but one more problem to figure out how to pay. 6 months no interest FTW!

wheels...

for those who may not know david, he is the guy from france who's been living in san diego for about 4 years. i met him last year at my very first supra meet @ costco mission valley. anyways, he's planning on heading back to france and is forced to sell his supra. he's been receiving a few offers for his supra but nothing yet. anyways, yesterday david and i had an interesting time. we decided to finally deal his wheels. before we swapped out wheels, i took some video of his car. i wanted to make sure i shot some footage we can edit up later. so after the photoshoot, we worked on swapping out the wheels and tires. it took us a while with the tools we had. we had to make a trips to home depot and walmart for a couple of sockets. one of the rachets didn't survive. although it took us a few hours with the tools we had we were able to complete the switch. he is rolling in my stock wheels and im rolling on his 5-zigen wheels. i had to pay a few hundred bucks on top of the trade. but other than that i'm pretty satisfied.

losing tire pressure

for some reason i noticed im losing a great deal of pressure in my front tire. it seems like i've been adding air in a daily basis which is worrying me. i don't feel safe driving in tires that can't hold pressure. i will have them looked at ASAP! it looks like i might have to buy new tires. damn i hate buying new tires.
