As most of you know, I recently let go of my VIP/Drift project car:
1995 Nissan 240sx S14 Zenki.
It was pretty sad to let her go with all the time I dreaded into that car…
To those that have helped me with that project, knows how much time and dedication I put into that car from changing out every single bolt from my undercarriage, replacing new moldings, seals, bushings, joints, arms, you name it!
That is just the “perfection” side of me that comes out when modifying my cars.
I believe the car is in good hands, especially it being my lil dongsengs (brother) second 240sx project build.
I trust him to finish the car by adding nothing but the best JDM parts in the market and with class the way it should be. The S14 is honestly @ the perfect base platform to start being creative with it. All it needed was a new paint job, rims, bbk, bucket seats, and a bodykit of some sort to bring out the character within the car.
Andy please don’t disappoint me on your new project or else… SHEKKI! JK
Well… with all that said.

I haven’t been to K-Fest aka Jang Tuh within the past 2-3 years…
This year I had a BLAST w. Violet, J-Paik aka Hyung, Kathy, & Harry King Kong (Nitto Tires)
I’ll def. go to it again for the cheap Soju and great vendor FOODS they sold there!
Go with your close friends or your significant other…or else it wont be much fun.
Especially if your under 21 that is.
For those of you that have never been to K-Fest in Korea Town here is the 411 for ya’ll, so you wont miss out next year.
The 37th Annual Los Angeles Korean Festival kicks off today, September 30th to Sunday, October 3rd at Seoul International Park in Koreatown (downtown Los Angeles). The four day outdoor festival hosted by the Los Angeles Korean Festival Foundation will include food and beverage booths of Korean cuisine, cultural shows, and showcase various international stars in the world of sports and entertainment.
Here are some of the highlights from the event schedule:
* Opening ceremony, with a special appearance from Olympic Gold Medalist Yuna Kim (Thursday)
* Party with the Wonder Girls (Friday)
* 37th Korean Parade (Saturday)
* Special Performance by Kollaboration artists (Sunday)
Some of this year’s major sponsors include Jinro America, Hyundai Motors America, Kia Motors, Toyota, and McDonald’s. For those age 21+, Hite & Jinro will feature games and contests located at the designated Beer Garden. Bring 5 friends to the Beer Garden tent and enjoy a Jinro Soju Cocktail for just a penny!
With over 400,000 expected attendees over the next few days, parking at the festival has been a growing concern. To minimize traffic and parking, consider the use of public transportation such as the Metro buses and rail lines. The LA Korean Festival Foundation have also initiated a free shuttle service that will run hourly between 2-9pm each day.
The LA Clippers Spirit Team will be in attendance Saturday from 2pm to 5pm, and will be available for photos and autographs.
If you’re looking for musical talent, look no further. JYP Entertainment will be making their presence known, as the Wonder Girls are expected to perform on Friday evening for a one-hour segment titled Party with the Wonder Girls. The popular 5-member Korean girl group debuted their first U.S. album, 2 Different Tears, earlier this year. The entertainment company will also be conducting auditions during the festival, seeking out local talent in the hopes of discovering the next big star.
Kollaboration artists are also scheduled to perform throughout the festivities, with the band Feats in Inches and last year’s Kollaboration winner Clara Chung performing Friday afternoon, and several artists set to be onstage Sunday afternoon. For those who are unfamiliar with Clara’s work, be sure to check out her debut album, Art in my Heart, which was released last week.
Bring out your sunscreen and enjoy a dose of Korean culture!
Here are couples videos that we recorded this year for K-Fest!
Enjoy!
KTOWN Festival Alcohol Rule
We had to down our drinks before we leave the alcohol section.
So…
Violet said she would take half of 1/4 of the drink left over… I think she tricked me!
Did you guys notice the cutie in the back?
That would be Mr. Kong (Harry Kong) from Nitto Tires

Congrats to my boy/fellow team mate Jay Bhee for getting 1st US cover for October 2010 Import Tuner!
This EVO 10 is seriously starting to become a cover whore all across the nation!
I know JB has been bleeding and grinding to get this car done for the upcoming shows for the past year, and this cover is definitely well deserved for his hard work!
