Past Projects

In the fall of 2001 Ryan and I started assembling and modifying cars together.  All started in different forms, some from scratch, others from near full build requiring only tweaking and tuning.  Nevertheless, all of these cars have been ours… we have a tendency to go through a lot:  lots that never even made mention here, and some that I spent hours writing and thinking about.  It is some form of A.D.D…. really.  In the first few years after we teamed up, neither of us managed to make it through a single season with one car.  They came and went. Mostly it was because we liked to dream, but it was also partly because there was always someone willing to buy.  Cash just looks so good.

Now everyone’s situation has changed drastically, and I at least… have settled down.  I’ve locked in with my AE86 and our daily driven ZJ.  Andrew has now had his BC and E34 (which I have yet to detail) for an earnest amount of time, and Ryan well… I can’t imagine him ever finding a buyer for his car so…

Maybe that means things are boring now, but at least there is some variety in the past.

Note: These charts are for fun.  Don’t confuse them for us being hard core and bad ass.  Check it out.

byebibcWow… it’s actually a little hard for me when I look at it like this.  The BC is dead and will be buried soon enough.  We had thought about keeping this car and transforming it into what I believe would…

broke2Tick Tick… BOOM! Actually it was more like tick tick… CRUNCHGRINDSTOP.  Injector 0-ring fail, and side feed injectors are hostile to the Mobil 1.  That’s two motors in two weeks.  Is the AE86 next?  For the first time since driving…

It Was Worth It

05-28-05As much as I hate driving my car around on the streets, it is inconceivable how much I love it through pylons. I was not fast, but the car is pretty damned close to perfect.  I could really spend a…
