Yah… I’m pretty much counting the days to auto-x, and I’m not the only one. Ryan emailed me these vids today. More nostalgia. In 2020 what am I going to think of the sneakers I wear today? I sure…
Projects
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.
Getting Ready
Friday, April 23rd, 2010My Ruined Week
Sunday, March 14th, 2010
The weather has been AWESOME. 10 degrees celsius in March is as much as we can ask for. I had so much planned for my AE86 this week. It’s been a slow time at work, midterms are done. My AE86…
Rare Find
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
I found these recently FS on a nihon-go AE86 BBS: complete front struts for N2 AE86 with part numbers: 48510-AE821 and 48520-AE821. The seller wanted an absurd price for them: quite a large percentage of their price new from TRD, which he claimed…
Not a Car
Thursday, February 25th, 2010
Have I kept you up to date? Ryan isn’t wheeling a YJ anymore… he bought this sweet VZN170. Maybe not as capable as his YJ, but a lot nicer, and family accommodating. Currently fitted with some custom bumpers and other…
A Different Kind of Flush
Monday, February 8th, 2010
With zero overhang bumpers. It’s definitely rough around the edges… but a great concept.
The Best Picture I’ve Ever Taken
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Not that I’m a photographer of any kind. You may have noticed it also appears randomly as the banner image. It’s summer and we need another vehicle as the wife goes back to work. I’m shopping… and would love another RN66. …
Salty, Nasty Style
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Andrew makes nasty plans for his BC. Like… gross. But… fun and and interesting at the same time. You might remember that we constructed a lip for his front bumper one afternoon in July. It probably took all…
