Turbocharged Timeline

I didn't make a post about this episode specifically because I was sort of ashamed of it. It was one of the most boring videos I have ever edited and uploaded. It was neither entertaining, nor informative, and frankly I had felt that this was a sinking ship. However, I had realized this after finishing the video, and because I had worked on it for a couple of weeks, I just had to upload it for the sake of hard work. If you'd actually enjoyed this video, you are too kind. If not, then you know I hate it too, lol.

In other news, I am working with Tracy from RevXtreme on a bracket solution for the Subaru STI RX Oil Catch Can. More information about this when there is something else to report, but I am very excited about this.

I also went ahead and purchased a Cobb AccessPORT for my 2006 Subaru WRX STI. For people who know what this does, yeah, I was smiling when I got it. For people who don't know what this does, I'll have a video about the Cobb AccessPORT in the weeks to come.

I also got to spend a lot of time with my car. I've been driving around late at night for the past couple of weekends. Going to car meets, cruising with friends, and just really enjoying the car and getting to know Subarus.

There are also some other packages coming in the mail, I can't wait! Very exciting. A new DIY Episode will be uploaded on Friday, so stay tuned ladies and gents. ;)

First Subaru Mini Meet

Last night was a perfect night for a drive, so I decided to go to a local Subaru mini meet for the first time. Every Friday night local Subaru owners drop by Bryne Road to chat, and get to know each other.

I got to meet a couple good guys right away. They shared their knowledge on mods, shops, and other things about the cars. Since I have only owned the STI for a month, it was good to learn all of these things. I also got to listen to a couple exhaust systems up close and in person, which is a Godsend! I've always had a particular taste in exhaust. I don't just want loud, there is a certain type I like, and it's hard to describe until I hear it. Online videos don't do justice, because most of the exhausts I heard up close were pretty awesome. The sound that comes out of these boxer engines really is incredible.

I was told that this particular meet was pretty small in comparison to some of the others. I think I will go there more often when I have time. The lighting, as you can see, is very bright. The parking lot is huge, and is embellished with a sea of bricks, which in my opinion really makes the place look even nicer. Overall a good experience, hopefully much more to come!

MZ Promo Trailer

This is a promotional trailer that I made over the past couple of days. I've been trying to establish more viewers, creating better content and videos. It's been hard since I've changed over to the STI though. However, I've turned over a new leaf and I'm approaching Machine Zealots a bit differently than SpadesV6. I've been aggressively contacting companies for sponsorships, most of them are nice enough to actually reply my e-mails, lol. However, other than that, nothing substantial has taken place... yet. However, one company and I are in the works of bringing a brand new, never before released product into the Subaru community. If my old Camaro readers are reading this, you would know this company quite well, since I've praised their products. Hopefully the package will come in the mail in a week or two. More updates on this later.

As of now, I am in the works of editing more videos, and will be online in the weeks to follow.

Information Overdrive

It's been busy lately, and my packages purchased during the month have all arrived on the same day.

Seatbelt Pads from Hong Kong purchased on eBay.

Squash scented air freshner also from Hong Kong purchased on eBay. I needed this because of the odor the previous owner had left in the car.

A Zoom H1 portable microphone with an Audio-Technica Lavalier microphone. This is just a small investment for the show, so you guys won't have to listen to the GoPro's crappy mic quality.

Other than my packages arriving, two of my best friends decided to stop by to chat and hang out. I took this opportunity to take some videos, and pictures of all of our cars on my driveway.

2010 Subaru Impreza STI, 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, and a 99 Honda Prelude. Pretty cool line up of cars, I just wished my driveway could fit more. lol.
