A little comparison… for those enthusiastic about such things… ST185 RNN14 CD9A GC8 weight (kg) 1460 1230 1240 1220 output (ps) 225 235 250 240 torque (kgm) 31 29 31.5 31 length (mm) 4430 3975 4310 4340 width (mm) 1745 1690 1695 1690 Pig Alert. Actually… I won’t be so critical. There’s a lot more going on then just […]
Yearly Archives: 2007
September… I’m hella impatient. Winter makes AE86 life less appealing. Or rather… winter makes AE86 life less appealing, having experienced an all weather monster.

The All Weather Monster Concept Continues

I stumbled upon my wife browsing yahoo auctions… for 86. Maybe you think I’d be happy about that… but to me… it’s just […]
It’s Canada’s Fault
Another rain day. Yoshiko and I do work around the house, but I find spare moments to watch AE86 club while she checks her email etc. I’m convinced at this point that my attraction to these cars is purely nostalgic.

Both of those cars are gone now… and in hindsight, I can […]
