Seat time.

Car is coming with a Bride recliner seat. Although its mint condition and looks good, id rather have a fixed back seat. Put up on Driftworks that I was looking for a swap preffereably but selling it. Got a few hits straight after I put it up and have a queue of people wanting it when it lands.

So I couldnt help but look for a replacement for it, trusty old ebay came up with a Bride Vios in good nick - just what I was after! A few emails later id secured the seat outside of ebay for the same price as im selling the recliner, breaking even baby! Result. So im happy with that, heres some pics, theyre shit because theyre off the auction (not that my iphone pics are any better), but i'll upload some more when its delivered.

Paperwork.

So I got the paperwork for my car through from Japan recently.

The de-registration documents to prove to the DVLA that the cars legit and hasnt been stolen or anything. A bill of lading which I use to pay for the shipping and release the car from customs with. Then theres the receipt from japaneseusedcars which I show to the customs agents who then decide how much to buttfu... i mean tax me.

Cool bit of history about the car, it was first registered and has spent its whole life in Nagoya, Japan. The previous owner was "Kids Heart, Nagoya" who from what I can tell sell used parts and cars! I'd heard of Kids Heart before so was quite suprised to see the name on the de-registration form. They made the only official "sil80's", a run of 500 limited edition for Nissan. Pretty cool my car came from there, I like stuff like that.

Mein camcorder.

Purchased myself a delightfull HD camcorder recently. Thought itd be cool to capture some of the things I do with the car.

Was looking at the GoPro's and 20twenty HD camcorders. These are primarily helmet/motorsport camcorders but I wanted to be able to film other stuff too like other events I go to. I love watching well-edited videos on the net so thought itd be cool to get a little handycam to start me off, perhaps making a few cuts of my own!!

Its nothing hardcore but these things arent cheap, I bought a Sony HDR CX105-E, along with a fast-films.co.uk suction mount for sticking to my glass or body panels.

Pretty happy with it, nice quality image and the setup seems to be pretty good from what I tried so far. Although my PC can barely run the 1080p videos this camera can record. Might make editing a bit tricky in the future...

Anyway here's some dire iphone pictures ive taken of it, perhaps a DSLR should be next on my list to get!!

Sticker Collecting.

Been a bit of a sticker whore/collecter recently. To the point i'll have too many if I stuck one of each on my car!

Recieved yet another packet in the post from the US this morning. This time from Andy Sapp. 

I think its funny how whenever ive ordered stickers, ive got alot more than I actually order. Either the guys sending them are in a rush, or they appreciate the overseas support. I hope its the latter.

No problem, no problem at all..
