Motor Trend teamed up with Ford and driver Marcus Gronholm to create a very cool video of the rally champ’s 2009 Pikes Peak time attack in Ford’s Fiesta Rallycross. It’s about 9 minutes long and in my opinion, well worth the watch. There’s a couple different camera views, with most of it being in-car footage and it’s all in high definition with high quality audio. All I can say is,…

Ken Block’s 08 Subaru STi

Aside from the fancy livery and Prodrive wing, it looks stock.

Aside from the fancy livery and Prodrive wing, it looks stock.

It’s hard to tell with the loud graphics and overly large $4000 carbon Prodrive wing, but Ken Block’s 08 STi is for the most part, stock, on the outside. Sure you’ve got that roof vent and rally mirrors; the bumpers, side skirts, fenders, that’s all from the factory though.

Not a bad way to start the meal.

Not a bad way to start the meal.

About a month back, my high school friend Sachi suggested I try Ikko, a Japanese restaurant in Costa Mesa known for omakase. I figured it’d be a good time to go after dropping my car off to YimiSport since we didn’t have any plans for dinner. I also thought I’d take Amy somewhere nice as thanks for driving behind my smelly exhaust for an hour all the way…

Woodbury East A Disappointment

Woodbury East, Plan C, Floor 1

Woodbury East, Plan C, Floor 1

Amy (my girlfriend) and I went over to Woodbury East this morning to take a gander at the model homes to see the hype. First time in a while we took the Impreza; I figured I’d get a short drive in before I drop it off to YimiSport in an hour to get my Cosworth short block put in.
