Is it just me or do we all secretly love when plans get canceled so we get quality “me-time” while jamming to our favorite songs on spotify ?! #SpotifyPartner 

Cars are the perfect companions to my love for music - high bpm songs for putting down my best lap on the simulator, pop songs for cruise and karaoke sessions, and chill songs while I tackle all kinds of car problems in the garage. Let me know your favorite Spotify song! Have fun jamming, driving, and wrenching! 2025-09-06 06:27:44 Is it just me or do w.. 1,392 -58% 114 -40%
Pass pass pass! 🏎️ As I mentioned in the last post, we had an alternator failure during qualifying so I had to start the race from the back. As a mid-pack Spec Miata driver, fighting for positions and staying calm with competitors in my rear view mirror is the norm. I had a blast doing what I love and kept the race clean! Can’t wait for the next one!! Have a good day! 🤩✌️

The key theme for the 2.5-hour endurance race this weekend: do our best! 💪 We didn’t podium, but going from 29th to 4th out of 31 cars despite all the obstacles is one of the most epic things that I have experienced, and I’m proud to say that I made 18 positions for us during my stint! I’m so glad to be able to cherish the moment with my awesome team eliteperformance_us liliechen damn_it_ana !!

One might ask, why did we start from the back? My team recently built this S2000 race car after way too many sleepless nights, and got to do very little testing. After sorting out major tasks, the alternator unfortunately gave out during the qualifying session so we got 0 lap in. 

As the first-stint driver, my priority is very clear: make as many positions as possible without contacts or going off. This is my first time doing wheel-to-wheel racing with an S2000, plus I’m always a little scared of Thunderhill East because of the high speed and blind crests, I was SUPER nervous and actually cried in my helmet while waiting at the grid 🤣. But once the race starts, I’m absolutely in the zone, did exactly what I had to do, and passed the torch to my co-driver with a clean car! 

During the second half, we made it to the 3rd place, but the water temp got too hot so the car went into limp mode to prevent further damage. We lost the advantage since we had to coast to cool down, but regardless this is the best outcomes with all things considered and with no doubt we will come back stronger ✌️✌️. Thanks for reading this far!! I love racing!! 😃❤️

What keeps you awake during those long hours working on your cars? 🥱 I’ve always loved coffee, but been drinking matcha more lately since coffee increases my heart rate too much!! But I’m excited to start driving the S2000 more again 😊✌️! Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

Had a fun day doing body work on the V8 Miata over the weekend! It’s so therapeutic when my back was not hurting 🤣. Also welcome to my karaoke session hahah! I know I need to get a face shield when grinding so I will do that for the next time… ok enough mumbling see ya 🤣✌️.

Is it just me or do you think cars can be our best friends too? My V8 build is coming along and thanks to mattelbrickshop and hotwheelsofficial , I got another fun V8 in my garage (that’s probably more functional than my project car, hahaha). If you love classic, muscle, and something different, make sure to check out the Corvette Grand Sport and get yourself a new car friend in the link in my bio :)!! Have a good one!

You need (Yunni) this tool! 🤓 I just discovered how to use borescope for the first time when I did my Cayman’s spark plugs over the weekend. It’s crazy to actually see carbon build up inside the cylinders! So I thought I would share my new found knowledge with y’all. Can this be a new series? 😃✌️ have a good day!

The top down season is now 🌞🌻! Driving a S2000 on track was an important milestone in my motorsports journey. At first I was overwhelmed and definitely had my share of tears 🤣, but it really helped me get comfortable with rotation and slip angles. It made me a WHOLE LOT comfortable pushing my Cayman and do better in wheel-to-wheel racing too. I’m super excited to hit the track with it next week!! Have a wonderful day ☺️.

What’s the saddest thing you’ve dropped in the engine bay?! 😂 Well, this is my first time dropping a spark plug in there because I didn’t seat the spark plug all the way in the magnetic socket. Previously, I’ve dropped a 19mm socket in there when I replaced the FJ’s alternator. Maybe the engine bay is just another parallel universe? 🤣 Have a good weekend!

Happy 8/6 day!! I don’t own one but I had the honor of driving a GR86 on track at Sonoma last year 😁✌️. It was fun to feel how it’s different from my usual chassis (cayman/s2000/miata), in a way that it’s very driver friendly, easy to manage, and has great potential once you start upgrading it. ☺️ Here’s also an AE86 photoshoot that I did back in 2020. Time flies!! Have a good day!

Porsche engine 101! This is an older model 911 Carrera engine as Porsche has already eliminated the IMS due to it failing and causing engine damages frequently, but I thought it’s still super cool to see a flat 6 engine fully disassembled! Now the name flat / boxer finally makes sense with the illustration. Hopefully this was an educational experience for you too ☺️✌️. What should we talk about next?!

On a scale of car parts, how are you feeling today?! 😃✌️ I’m feeling option 6 which is a good thing, right? Jokes aside, hello August and how crazy time flies. I’m enjoying this year by doing a lot of racing, wrenching, and taking on new challenges both inside and outside of work. The summer heat is going to make things difficult, but wish you all a wonderful weekend and the rest of 2025.😊

One of the most magical feelings to me is when I downshift perfectly and knowing every part of the car is coming together to orchestrate the best music! 🎶🎵 My Cayman comes with auto revmatch in sports and sports+ modes, but I really enjoy being able to do it myself. Since those pedals were not designed for smaller humans, I had to take the matter into my own hands and get a heel toe pedal extension.  Hope you enjoyed this video! Have a good day!

Made some progress on the LS3 swap Miata this weekend! 👩🏻‍🔧 I wish the car is ready just like that but there’s still a long way to go along with tons of learning experiences for me. 😃👍 This weekend, I did more cutting inside the engine bay so that the engine can sit as far back as possible for better weight distribution. Next I will start altering the transmission tunnel as well since T56 is decently sized compared to the Miata. Any progress is good progress!! Have a good day to you all ☺️.

Thank you themonster_miata for the special guidance! ✌️

A little throwback to one of the best cars I’ve driven - a Gunther Werks remastered 911! Can you believe it was also my first time ever driving a 911?! 🤣 It will probably be hard to top off that experience haha. As someone who enjoys the rawness of older cars but also bigger power that modern cars typically can offer, this chassis was the best of both worlds for sure. I will probably never be able to afford one but hey the memory of it can live rent free in my head forever ☺️✌️. What do you think?! Have a good day! 

Thank you kaio.motorsports again for the best experience!

Some of you were wondering if I still have my Miata Bobo, so here’s the answer: yes, he’s not going anywhere 😁✌️. Can’t believe it’s been 5 years already!! I have to admit I don’t drive it enough since I’ve been busy doing Spec Miata races and other Motorsport activities, but it was the car that really pushed me to be a better driver when I can’t rely on technologies! What’s your most memorable car?! Have a good day!

Car projects can take hours, days, sometimes even years whether you like it or not 🤣, so might as well stay positive and be silly while we are at it 😄✌️. How do you cheer yourself up when working on cars?!! I just dance around, eat some snacks, and try again 😆. Have a good day!

Still feels crazy that it’s almost the end of July! So here’s my updated resume as a car enthusiast 🤣! I’m still definitely a newbie compared to many of you, but it’s been a wonderful journey wrenching, racing, sharing my insights, and just learning everything about cars! 😊✌️ have a good day!

Happy 7/18!! I’ve been on the 718 chassis for almost 7 years now (5 years with the base, 2.5 years with the GTS 4.0) and I’m still madly in love with it 🤩. It’s my first ever sports car and it encouraged me to try autocross and track days despite being absolutely terrified by it.

 It’s not an easy car to drive and it took me a long time to finally feel comfortable with the way it “dances.” Without this car, I would probably never consider racing!! I’m forever grateful for everyone who supported me along the way!! 😊 have a good weekend!

Have you checked on your axles recently? Funny enough, I have 2 cars that are prone to axle / axle boot issues: FJ is lifted so the front axles are in an angle that tends to cause premature wears; Cayman is mid-engined so the engine heat tends to overheat the rear axles if you track the car often. So here I’m, loving those cars but having to deal with more problems 😂✌️. But still nothing would change how I feel about them because they are my babies!! Have a good day. 🤗

I love how you can enjoy cars alone or in a group setting. From wrenching and practicing on the simulator alone, to car meets and track days with friends, there is an endless amount of fun to have 😊. Sometimes I feel like my social battery is drained just from working in the office during the week, so a simulator session is the best way for me to decompress! How do you enjoy cars? Have a good weekend. ✌️
