my lil’ ride down in the garage excitedly going “finally senpai noticed me~~~~~🥹”

note to self: do not do sickass burnout on big patch of fallen stinky ginkgo fruit.

umihotaru.

i finally took my s660 thru its own jet2 holiday😭

bandai-azuma skyline touge is fun as hell. with the volcanic vents off-gassing onto the road, it kinda looks like hell up there too.

a honda s660 and a lincoln town car walk into a concafe…

calm after the storm, and already back on my bullshit.

babby’s first recall

almost had myself the most exquisitely expensive cut of venison last night

latest S660 DIY maintenance job: front & rear lateral metal cable tensioner tethers for the roll-top roof snapped off. first the rear one gave way, which at first wasn’t catastrophic on wind buffeting since, you know, i normally drive forwards anyway. then a week later the front one gave way too…🫨🙉

got hella excited seeing for the first time a honda s660 finally take on the nurburgring... next day checking back i find out it got written off in a major pileup 😞🫗🫡

japan learns about our “big altima energy”, we get introduced to “zankure alphard” in return. cultural exchange at its finest

tried to do a burnout today in akiba chuo-dori scramble. accidentally clutch dumped on 3rd. the clutch delay valve might’ve saved my entire transmission from grenading itself, as it completely slipped the entire time during redline. i totally smelled it almost immediately after. whoops🥲🫠

started noticing a oil burner smell lately on the S660. took off the engine cover and noticed oil hella weeping on the valve cover’s breather port. replaced PCV valve & cleaned out the brillo filter on the catch can installed on said breather line a few years prior, still exhibited a bad oil smell.

full version here (sorry for the repeated frame panning btw 🥴): www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0K0... HUD is literally a live screen recording of Car Scanner hooked onto my S660's OBD2, composited in on post. audio got even more of a glow-up too. yeah, i guess this is starting to get pretty serious now.

I wanted to do chase vids of the racers coming out of Daikoku PA post Tokyo Auto Salon… but I forgot my Zoom mic to record engine sounds. Then I remembered I still have the Revheads engine sound app on my phone that I could hook up to my car's OBD2 & do a recording of. The result is pure cheese. 😩

filming ikiri dash hijinx at Daikoku PA's exit as per tradition, Daikoku PA's cops getting progressively pissed from it as per tradition

interesting rides i saw in tokyo auto salon yesterday… 🧵 daihatsu copersche

already this show hits straight into my specific fandoms.

full version, btw: youtu.be/hNB7nykHb4Q?... i kinda improved the placement of the engine noise mics, now the exhaust mic actually picks up that throaty 3-banger drone. old-man baritone ASMR hasn’t sounded finer👴 maybe I’ll annotate the areas i traverse later. tbh it’s still meant as a play-around.

po-po sez i can't do an ikiri dash and mack onto the guardrail🥺 (part 2) (i wired up a new mic setup btw. version v1.0 is just merely okay. the S660's weaksauce exhaust note needed a LOT of processing in post.)

po-po sez it's time2go (part 1)

all great runs have a finish line, and this C2 run's finish line in particular is in the serene view of Tatsumi 2nd PA. (part 9) there. the daily limit of videos fulfilled. THE END. check out the rest of the quoted posts in this blatant workaround of bsky's BS 1-minute limit on videos.😛

a C2 run within a clear night makes for a great view of tokyo skytree. (part 9)
