Andrew and I debate over it frequently… or rather… we discuss it frequently: Why old cars are better than new cars. New cars are better in so many ways… but there is just something about older cars that has sucked us both in. The truck I spend most of my time in now days, is an 09 Dakota. Great Drivetrain. […]

four-stroke-performance-tunI feel pretty good about footwork, but when it comes to drivetrain stuff... I'll admit I'm pretty stupid. I've never really played too much with making power, and what I do know, is just what I've absorbed over the past 12 years on the Internet. I always thought that books would die in the next few years... especially non-fiction books... but I may have been wrong to think that. There's just something about complete information from one source, without the distractions of pornographic advertisements and email alerts. I found "Four-Stroke Peformance Tuning" by A. Graham Bell in the back seat of Andrew's BC6 and stole it for a read. I recommend. It's basically given me a whole new outlook on making horsepower. It doesn't seem as easy as it used to... but somehow it's all less intimidating and more approachable than before. I have long term plans for my AE86 now... and they're nothing crazy. But neither am I... nor will be my ハチロク。
