This car has been through so much through the years (just like my wallet..😅) but just happy of the outcome it came out to be. The car looks so good in person. quick story, one of my neighbors was walking his dog saw me cleaning my car in the car port. He said "Man...seeing you every morning cleaning your car everyday & working on it gave me motivation to work on my 1969 charger thats been sitting in my garage for years, thank you"! Dang that made my day that day. I said to him "Don't ever give up your build. The money & time you spend on your car will be hella worth it at the end, trust in the process". #realtalk💯 📸p/c: @purxue 🚗💨2003 Acura RSX Type S Car Club: @team.elevate_ Body & Paint: @sos_customz Front bumper: @cwestusa Widebody kit: @mandmhonda @yuu1955 Wing: @bigcountrylabs CarbonFiber hood: @seiboncarbon Air bags: @d2racingusa Air management: @air_lift_performance Tanks: @seamless_tanks Trunk setup: @sdautosalon Wheels: @workwheelsusa Tires: @toyotires aero kit: @ubeymade Custom Headlights: @precisionworkz Interior: @ap__upholstery Seats: @braumracing Sound: @kickeraudio --------------------------------------------- #Dc5 #dc5society #dc5association #teamelevate #loweredlifestyle #Superstreet #Stancenation #spocom #Wekfest #hondalife #JDMDaily #Airlift #cars #Carporn #explorerpage #fyp #Dailydriven #AcuraRSX #Acura #ToyoTires #mandmhonda #Japan #JDMculture #Racecar #Autofashion #CarCulture #beautiful #Photography #photooftheday --------------------------------------------- (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3Zs_WvMz6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

June 22nd - June 24th

Saturday June 22nd -

I got up late. I didn’t do much. I didn’t talk to Jr. much since I knew he was working and I don’t want to annoy him. I checked in around 5:00 pm asking if he wanted to grab something to eat, he agreed. 9:00 pm came around and he let me know he was still at work.

I told him I was okay waiting for him to grab a bite to eat, he didn’t respond. The cafe I was at was about to close so I let him know I was leaving and to give me a call when he was out if he still wanted to eat.

10:00 pm came around and still nothing.

He sends me a picture of his car. I was livid. He bailed on me. I wasn’t mad that he was bailing on me, I was mad that he didn’t have the decency to let me know “Hey I am gonna work on my car, I have to get it ready for Wekfest next week.” I understand. I would have done the same. I just ask for a little bit of communication.

I felt my anxiety building up. I spent 5 hours at a cafe waiting for him so we could hang out... is there something wrong with me, is he not interested in me anymore or is he losing patience? I let it go for the night.

When I got home I confirmed if he was going to be joining me the next day for an event and a photoshoot. This was his chance to let me know he wasn’t going to go, or he was too tired to go.

Instead he let me know he would have to go pick up the Honda, he would have to pick it up when his manager is at the shop. Technically to him this was not a yes or a no. I offered him a ride and he fell asleep, I sent him a message telling him to let me know in the morning if he wanted me to pick him up.

Sunday June 23rd -

I woke up at 8:00 am thinking he might accept. 9:00 am came around and nothing. I let Andy know he wasn’t responding, he suggested I call him and if he doesn’t respond then I should head out to the event in Alameda. I called. No answer. I left.

When I got there I felt so awkward. My social anxiety kicked in. I didn’t know anybody on a personal level. Andy was our mutual friend and his co-worker. I got to know his friends a lot more.

Jr. responded, at noon, that isn’t normal for him. Even if he is tired he wakes up at around 8:00 am. He asked me how the event was going and I entertained his conversation.

Andy mentioned grabbing something to eat. When they had decided to head back home, they kindly invited me. I accepted but I didn’t really want to go. I let Jr. know what we were doing and he didn’t respond. My anxiety got worse and I was feeling frustrated.

I was on 2 hours of sleep and I was already socially capped out for the weekend. I made up an excuse on the way to Redwood City as to why I couldn’t go and headed home to meet Jonathan, Nicky and Jesse for lunch.

By the time I got to Chili’s, I thought I was fine, I felt numb. I felt anxiety but seeing the guys normally helps me get through the day, today wasn’t normal. Nicky noticed how much I kept checking my phone. Nicky and Jesse took it away so I would stop.

I almost started crying, what follows is what went through my head

“Was I not good enough? Was I not what he was expecting? Did I disappoint him? Did he expect a fully grown female? I am too emotionally unstable for him. Did he get bored of me? Am I not good enough? I’m not good enough for him. I have too much baggage for him, he wants a woman thats put together and thats not you. You aren’t remotely in his league. He’s out of your league. He has someone that is so much better than you. You aren’t the only one that he is trying to talk to him....”

It went on through out lunch, I zoned out so many times. We all transitioned to 7leaves Cafe.

On the drive there we came across my ex - Jay. He drove up next to the guys and said hello. I don’t think he recognized me, I slowed down and stayed behind. I didn’t want to be reminded, again, that wasn’t good enough for someone. We parked and I took a breather, I open the door locked the car and I started crying. I couldn’t hold it in.

What follows went through my head....

“I wasn’t good enough for Jay how am I going to be good enough for Jr.? How was he going to come to love me if Jay didn’t even love me. Jay got bored of me how was Jr going to stick around. He isn’t, he’s not interested in loving me. Nobody is.”

Jesse asked me if I was okay, because they know how I get when Jay comes around, all I could say is yes as I kept crying. As Jesse is giving me a hug he notices my car is rolling back. I forgot to engage the emergency break. I was done, I wanted to go home....

That’s my code phrase, “ I want to go home.”

When I am balling my eyes out, when I have anxiety and can’t take it anymore, when I am on the phone with the suicide hotline asking for help... “I want to go home.” is how I know I am a danger to myself.

Andy texted me and let me know they were going to meet me at 6:30 pm for the photoshoot. I headed out to meet them.

As I waited for him to arrive I texted Jesus asking if we were okay.... I have been sensing us a little off lately and I was wondering if I did something wrong. He is a good friend of mine and didn’t want to damage the friendship we had built. As the conversation went on... Jesus confessed to me he thinks I “try too hard”, He meant I try to hard to be funny and I try to be cool when I drive. This hurt a little, but I convinced myself that this is what was wrong with Jr. and me. I honestly didn’t understand him completely but I wanted to stop asking him for an explanation, I told him I would take a step back from them to give them a break. I didn’t want to annoy them to the point where I am not invited out anymore. I kept my cool for a little while longer.

I sent these messages to Nicky, Jesse and Jonathan, Nicky he tried to make me feel better. He told me, in a very polite way, I should seek help because he knows it will help with my emotions and anxiety. He recommended a few non-profits that help individuals with low-income or no income.

When Andy arrived, we proceeded with the photoshoot and he asked me about Jr. I told him he hasn’t responded after I told him what was going on during the day. When we were done I went home they went to TiSane to meet up with the rest of the guys.

When I came down the mountain from our location, I stopped in a parking lot and balled my eyes out. I wasn’t okay to drive. I wanted to go home but I couldn’t drive home. I sat there crying for about a half an hour.

Again... my brain went off with out a sign....

“Why am I like this? Why do I repulse everyone around me. Nobody wants to be around me. My own mother doesn’t want me and my own father didn’t want me from the beginning. How could anybody want me? I am not worthy of anything. I don’t want to be here. I don’t deserve to be here. I want to go home.....”

I took a breath. Lit cigarette. Drove home.

Monday June 24th -

I sent Jr. a message apologizing, asking if I did something to annoy him or to push him away. He responded saying “You did nothing wrong! What gave you that impression?”. I explained my concerns to a certain extent. I let him know I didn’t like feeling like I was bailed on twice this past weekend.

We went on with this conversation that lasted almost all day, I felt like I was shutting down everyone of his explanations, because I was. There was no reason for him not to tell me “Hey not today.” or “I won’t be coming out because I have things to do.” I understand. I let him know I would have understood. I asked him from the start that I wanted communication, that’s all I ask of him for now. He couldn’t deliver that for me at this point, I just hoped we could work on it in the future. There was tension. I could sense it the next morning when I wish him a good day.

Maybe it really isn’t me this time, at least not at this moment. Maybe he has no idea the potential of what could happen with us and it scares him. He hasn’t had a real relationship in 2 years. He hasn’t had something steady for a while. He has a kid and good life. He has more to lose than I do and that might scare him.

By now I had already reasoned with myself...

Life isn’t easy and you can’t keep walking around with all your walls up. You aren’t going to learn and enjoy life. You can’t always jump to the conclusion that all the problems in your life are your fault. You have no control over how some people treat you, you only have control over what you let affect you. You have control over what you think of yourself. That has to be the most powerful benefit of growing as human beings.

Thats it for now folks. More on Jr. as time goes on.

The Baddest Ferrari Testarossa on Earth Is in Japan

I really never watched Miami Vice as a kid (probably because my parents wouldn’t let me), but one thing I do know about the hit 1980s TV show was its hero car—a white Ferrari Testarossa. Visions of the Testarossa would continue to be fed into my brain at an early age, from playing the arcade game OutRun to hearing my brother blasting Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Mack Daddy album, which contained a hit song called—you guessed it— “Testarossa.”

Of course, I really didn’t know the difference between a V-12 and a four-cylinder back then, but suffice it to say Ferrari was already up high on a pedestal. I dreamt that one day, when I made it on Robin Leach’s Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, I would buy my very own mid-engine Testarossa. Thirty years later, I’ve come to find myself nowhere near owning anything Italian outside of a bottle of red wine; however, I do catch myself drooling over certain older Ferraris, in particular, tastefully modified ones such as Kazuki Osashi’s 1989 Testarossa.

First encounter with Osashi and his Testarossa

It took me a minute to remember, but I actually met Osashi and discovered his Rosso Corsa Testarossa in person at Wekfest Japan 2017. After admiring his car as well as a Ferrari 348 TS and Lotus Esprit at the show, I wrote an editorial explaining how the next big craze in the scene would be restoring ’80s and ’90s exotics/supercars and infusing them with modern style, not in the form of swapping out their iconic engines, but throwing on cooler wheels, implementing OEM+ styling, and dialing-in a jaw-dropping stance. Of course, four years after writing that editorial, it hasn’t caught on like wildfire as I’d imagined—picking up an old ’Rari still doesn’t come cheap. Despite the Testarossa being one of the most mass produced sports cars from Ferrari’s Maranello factory with around 10,000 units sold, it still holds a premium ranging between $90,000 and $200,000 (I could think of 10 other cars off the top of my head that I’d rather buy with that kind of money, but I digress). However, for Osashi, he was determined to be different, creative, and to make his mark in the aftermarket community.

Young suspension entrepreneur

When I first met Osashi, he was only 22 years old and a fresh graduate out of design school. Right away I could tell he was one of those guys who was always thinking in different and creative ways. Over the next four years he started two suspension companies. His first, Madlane.ltd, specializes in building custom high-end air systems typically using hard line plumbing, while his second, Prazis Air Suspension, offers air components in a variety of configurations. Osashi explained to me that most of his clientele are German and Italian car owners; in fact, he’s working on a Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 935 as we speak, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing those builds break the internet soon.

Why a Testarossa?

It’s an honest question… Kazuki is 26 years old today, so why not go after a Ferrari more in line with his age bracket? Something like, for example, a F430 or 458, which would’ve been the current Ferrari models at the time he was getting his driver’s license. He laughingly reveals that one day while messing around with an old poster of a Testarossa, he took out a pair of scissors and cut it up to drop the ride height. That little experiment inspired him and a year later he became a proud Testarossa owner.

Stock Ferrari engine, stance perfect, wheels sexy

As mentioned earlier, it isn’t advisable to mess with the DOHC flat-12 engine of a legendary exotic like the Testarossa. While its 4.9-liter with 380 horsepower propels the Ferrari to 60 mph in five seconds or so, it’s not fast by any means in this day and age. But Osashi didn’t buy this car to win races. It’s a style and status statement and modifying it to look incredible on the streets was the only objective.

Osashi used his expertise to swap out the stock suspension for his Prazis air struts managed via AccuAir’s e-Level system. Ferrari aficionados will notice the updated 512 TR rear bumper that’s been retrofitted. The fenders have also been slightly pulled out to accommodate rebuilt 18×9-inch front, 19×11-rear Autostrada Modena wheels (made by Work Wheels back in the day) wrapped by stretched Pirelli P Zero Rosso rubber.

Shortest mod list ever? Perhaps, but is it the baddest Testarossa on the planet? You’re damn right. There’s no reason for anything like a lip kit or over-fenders to take away from the Testarossa’s already beautiful shape and sexy side strakes. Three decades later these Ferraris remain as glorious as they did when I was growing up, and thanks to Osashi, we can continue to idolize the Testarossa—now with an aftermarket touch.

Photographer Mike Crawat on Kazuki Ohashi and his Testarossa: “I met Kazuki two years ago at the Lake Wörthersee in Austria during XS Carnight 2018. After hearing the news that his car would fly over from Japan to Wroclaw in Poland for Raceism 2019, I just had to get in touch with him to plan a session in Poland with his Testarossa. It was a Sunday and the end of the Raceism event and we headed out to the drift track one hour before sunset. The Kyza, Kazuki, and a whole bunch of friends joined my shoot to just enjoy the moment, enjoying the view of such a beautiful sight. The car looks so killer in real life, even more than in photos. The wheels, the fitment, the vibe you experience during a shoot like this, it’s unreal! In person, Kazuki is a very relaxed and down to earth guy and one of the friendliest people I’ve met. Always smiling, always in a good mood, giving away his Matcha Kit Kats. Haha!”
