The Y34 is big in Mother Russia!

by WBJ on Jun.22, 2010, under Jade Corner Tags: , , ,

I always find some interesting things in the traffic reports for jadecrew.com. I noticed we are getting a bit of traffic from this link. Apparently Russian’s don’t just appreciate Caviar and Fine Vodka. It turns out it is a Russian car forum and they are discussing the install article of the Air Runners on the Y34.

No more wood, lets go dry carbon look

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|JM|

by WBJ on May.26, 2010, under Jade Corner Tags: , , , ,

I never really liked the wood trim that came in my M45 so I decided to go out and redo it. I found this really nice vinyl by 3M. Its from their Architectural series and is made to look like dry carbon fiber. Now I know you are thinking fake carbon fiber vinyl is so ricey, and I would agree with you if this stuff did not look so good.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|JM|

by WBJ on May.25, 2010, under Automotive News, Jade Corner Tags: , , ,

We recently told you that governor leatherface signed a law that allows Red Light Cameras on state roads. They say that they are to help improve public safety and decrease accidents. The palm beach just did an article checking what happened in the first 70 days of cameras being installed at intersection in palm beach. Guess what happened?

A few years back I helped my cousin get himself a nice RX8. As time went by I think he caught the modding bug from me and steadily would ask for advice on how to hook up the ride and this is where it got him.

Crackdown on street racing in Orlando

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|JM|

by WBJ on May.24, 2010, under Automotive News, Jade Corner Tags: , , , ,

Last night WFTV ran a story about the Orange County Deputies cracking down on the street racing problem in Orlando. They did not reveal their tactics but did identify some hot spots for the racing like including Presidents Drive, Wetherbee Road, and roads along Orlando International Airport. It is hard for me to believe people still are going to presidents after all these years.

custom y34 grill

UPDATE:
Well I am almost done now. I have to wet sand and repaint the front slats since some some of my lines are not 100% straight and there are some imperfections in the paint. I went with satin black for the insides and a silver that kind of matches the silver in the headlights.

D1 2003 Event Coverage

For this trip we fired up the old Jadecrew time machine and ended up at Irwindale Speedway on August 31st 2003. This was the first time D1 had come to the USA and was doing an exhibition to introduce drifting to the United States. Even though this event did not count for the actual series all the big Japanese drivers came out for the exhibition. With this event happening on our continent for the first time Jade just had to be there. So we got up a crew, flew out and were there to see history.
