The Pursuit!

Sorry Everyone, school's really taking a toll on me this quarter. I'm getting my ass whooped, and I don't really have much free time... I'll continue to post updates when I get a chance... Had I known I would be having tests daily on new chapters..... I would have taken other classes. Well I just have to suck it up, and do do my best!!


Hope you like this Pursuit update! I have some other stuff to come.

Project VW Convertible and TongPhan's Cup Kit finished!

** Unscheduled programming first :P **
Photobucket Photobucket
Progress on that crazy Supra that was getting the Level10 transmission installed.







--And back to your regularly scheduled program--





So a while ago, Club Lexus member TongPhan was searching for air suspension, or another way to slam his car. A few nice members pointed out Platinum VIP was having a special on the Phantom Cup Kits (Thumbs up to you guys for reading!!). I caught TongPhan as he was getting ready to leave the shop. He seemed real interested in purchasing the cup kit. And a few days later, he ended up pulling the trigger! Congratulations TongPhan, and I hope you enjoy it dearly!!! Thumbs up for those beautiful HRE's you have! They compliment your car very nicely! So without further ado, here's TongPhan's GS with the Phantom Cup Kit!

I must also add, the travel on the Cup Kit with the Megan Racing coilovers on his car offer HUGE travel! This has the most travel i've seen with the Cup Kits! It looks like it can raise and drop over 4 inches! Check out the video in my previous post for reference!





..Now onto the surprise birthday present from a customer to his wife!




This VW Beetle Convertible was given to us by a customer to customize for his wife. What's the occasion you ask? It was a present for his wife! Imagine that, waking up in the morning, only to see in your garage a BRAND SPANKING NEW CAR!!!!!! In this case, a fine, brand new Volkswagen Beetle Convertible tastefully done by Platinum VIP and VIP Modular Wheels! That would be like Christmas day... except you have both Christmas on your Birthday AND Christmas on Christmas!! I'd be all giddy and excited like a schoolgirl around chocolate, haha :P

So this past Friday, August 21st, we loaded up the Beetle, and headed to Manhattan Beach, where we were going to meet the customer, and drop the car off with him. We arrived early at around 11PM, and we had prior arrangements to meet at a Starbucks around 11:30PM-12AM. We ended up taking a short trip around a few blocks sightseeing. I had never been there, but wow the beach was below us! It would have been good to take some landscape shots, but police constantly patrolled the area. It was scary :P So at Midnight, we met up with the customer, got the VW off the trailer, and handed him the keys. I really hope his wife enjoys this special birthday present!!

All prepped and ready for the excursion to Manhattan Beach!!

PLATINUM VIP @ Extreme AutoFest San Diego 2009

Sorry for the lateness, been pretty busy lately, and I've had many things going on lately. You guys probably know about the fire in Glendale earlier yesterday. I hope everyone is safe and doing fine!!!


Here's the pics I took of our excursion to San Diego and the cars. We ended up going on Saturday, and arrived in SD around 9PM. The drive was a bit scary, especially when you're driving other people's cars. We did our best to be very careful in driving our friends cars. Kennedy drove the RV, Mike drove Javi's GS, Henry drove Kennedy's Aristo (Might I add that it doesn't have AC :P), and I drove Jay's 300C (Jay calls it the death trap), and Ed drove Keith's 6 Series. It took us around 3 hours to drive, and we were turning heads everywhere... we managed to almost cause a few near-accidents because of drivers not paying attention to the road!! We stayed over, heading into the roll in on Sunday. The show was alright, and the trip hope was crazy too! The RV actually left us in the dust, and arrived back BEFORE our cars did! We probably hit 70-75 max on both trips, back and fourth. Braking hard and rubbing over the horrible roads made us cringe! And I must mention, when you run super negative camber and drive on the 60fwy, around the Rowland Heights area, it's scary as balls! In the 300C, when I was going straight, the car would randomly pull to the left or right real hard... I thought I popped a tire or something, but it turned out to be the horrible roads. It gave me a pretty good scare, but when we got to the shop, all was well, besides rub marks on the rear wheels :/ ... but it couldn't be helped. We did try our best though, and we made it back home in one piece, and relieved! I felt a huge weight come off my shoulders as we returned back to the shop. The 300C is going under the knife again now, and I'll be showing you its progress these next two days! I think you will be quite surprised with what's coming!!

Anyways.....
Horray, i'm not sunburned anymore!! I actually didn't really get sunburned in San Diego. I was sunburned at the shop when we were preparing for the excursion to San Diego!! I did my best to stay away from the sun during the show, so I took a nap in the RV, and put sunblock before I left to take photos. No, I didn't cover the event though, sorry!! I did get a few pictures of Jenny Chu, Sophia Lin, Desiree Vidal, and a few other models though!!

Enjoy the slideshow!!! Or you can click to enlarge pics :)



Quick reminder:
IF YOU PUT ON SUNBLOCK..... NEVER put it close to your eye. I actually got sunblock in my eyes, and it took about 3 hours to come out... and I flushed my eyes many times, and it didn't help!!!
