Make your very own Philippine Jeepney…

infamousjj — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 04:08:34 +0000

For those not familiar with the term, a "Jeepney" is a widely used public transportation bus in the Philippines. The jeepney is a symbol of individuality and ingenuity. Have fun making your own! I believe there is also a blank one so that you can design it yourself. P.S. the password is "bamboogila.blogspot.com"

Turbocharger key chain…

infamousjj — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 04:03:23 +0000

surfing the net, I stumbled across an awesome key chain. It's a mini turbo literally. They've even hooked up a boost meter to it. It has actual turbo parts (backplate, impeller, chrome steel twin shielded ball bearing, and housing). It also comes with a compressor performance specification card! Check this thing out.. I already have one coming in the mail!

Imagine you were out enjoying a nice curvy road in the middle of nowhere, driving for the fun of it, when you think you notice someone with the same idea... or so you think. After you watch this video, you will understand what I'm talking about.

On a "goodwill tour" across the internets, I came across this vid. Made me laugh. Have a good rest of your Monday!

Thanks For All the Support…

We wanted to thank all the faithful IMPORTJUNKIEZ fans. Both Tanker and I try to update this thing as frequently as we can in the hopes to inform and entertain you at the same time. If anyone wants to bump into us this weekend, check out the LA food festival (for info check earlier post). Once again thanks for all the support... and for those that don't support us... well ask the blue ranger what will happen to you!

Domo-kun on 7-11 Crap

Tanker — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 19:30:11 +0000

For all you JDM heads here's a piece of Japan that you might consider picking up at your local 7-11:

That's right...for most of October, you can get your hands on Domo slurpee cups, Domo slurpee straws, Domo coffee cups, and Domo food containers at any 7-11. There is even a new slurpee flavor, for the Domo promo: Fuji Frost. In some stores, its not just food items that they are selling, they also got Domo beanies, hats, and other accessories. So, if you love Domo, go ahead and stop by your local 7-11 and check out all the cool stuff you could get.

-Tanker!

For those still confused who Domo is: Domo-kun started off in Japan as the mascot for a Japanese TV channel, NHK. There he appeared in many shorts for NHK in between shows. Some where along the way, the furry brown block ended up becoming popular in America, from being an internet meme to having his own show on Nickelodeon and promoting Halloween at Target last year.

My Baby Is Back Home…

Tanker — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 04:33:05 +0000

So, I've pretty much gone a month without having updated the site. For that I'm really sorry, I wish I could spend more time doing the stuff I want to do with the site. Then again, this is all just out of my spare time and this month I just felt I had none. =( I've been splitting my time at work between two locations and both are constantly on me so much that when I get home, I just don't want to do anything else but sleep. Then when the weekend hits, I'm off to another birthday party or going away party or "friends are in town, let's go party" party. So I've been running back and forth between here and there with little time spent online for most of the month. Anyhow, the good thing out of this month is that I finally got my car back. Yup, the S2K was in the shop for warranty work...apparently my car threw a CEL a couple weeks ago: low compression in the 2,3, & 4 cylinder. The culprit - a bent valve. Sucked. This car made driving so much fun that I'm glad it finally came back because I was really depressed when it came to driving. In honor of the return of my beloved S2K, Here's a fun S2K video with Tsuchiya behind the wheel...its another drift comparo between the S2K, RX7, and Silvia.

Happy Holidays!

So its the Holiday season and it's been quite busy for me. For one, I had finally started walking and in turn, returned to work. Kind of wish I still had some downtime to mess around with the site, but I gotta pay the bills somehow. Anyhow, hope all you had a great holiday and may it continue on through to the New Year...not quite sure what's going on NYE, but if I'm not back by then, be safe and see you all next year! =)

Here's a little parting gift of a JGTC GT-R testing...listen to that beast...:drool:

Oddities from NorCal: Scraper Bikes

Tanker — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 16:54:20 +0000

The words escape me at the moment at one of the fads that is supposedly picking up around hyphy nation, Oakland, CA. The same city that gave us the "WOO WOO!!!" of whistle pipes and taught us how to ghostride our whips. Now comes along a rather "riced out" version of Lowrider Bikes:
