While replacing wheel bearings, I finally got around to doing a bit of a performance alignment.  With horrible weight distribution and front drive, I’ve been wanting more caster for this car.  Sadly, it is only adjustable with offset bushings, or set back strut top mounts from companies like Whiteline.  They are dollars though.  A poly bushing kit that will do […]

Surprises me how small a T50 is.  The appearance of it is normally dominated by the easily removable bell housing and shifter section, and without it looks very small and easy.  I’m totally ready to rip this thing open and at least brainstorm some ghetto/hack close ratios for it.  I’ve been browsing/asking in Japanese recently… mostly about the 12354 patterns […]

Barrel of Speed


I’ve patched and welded Andrew’s muffler like three times, all with little success.  It finally fell off completely on the highway.  He had this rad replacement waiting in the fridge for him at home though.
