5 I’m crazy about showa era Advan wheels, but I’m not really sure why. Certainly the Carrot Flashpoint Trueno driven by Keichi in the late eighties is a part of why, but more than that Advans have a long history in Japanese racing that dates back to the early seventies. That’s about all I can rationalize. Maybe they are just something […]
2 Yes finally, the whole fitment/stretched tire craze is dead. Dead. This is the equivalent to an EF Civic on 22’s as seen in the late nineties. Dead. If you are old fashioned and don’t see what’s going on… that’s how his tire fits! This isn’t some half assembled mock up test fit. That’s how he’ll be rolling to Lawson and […]
4 I’ve been torturing myself like crazy. I’m wavering somewhere between 25% and 90% NOT purchasing a new 86. If we could buy something like the Japanese spec 86 RC here (left) I’d probably be quite certain. Don’t get the unfinished bumpers and the big empty space on the dash? I do.

5 My ST185 has gone the way of Migs. I.E. LEGENDARY. The real question is… which came first: Hyper Rev Magazine or Migs AE86? There sure as hell aren’t any Monroes in my AE86 magazines. Of all the struts that used to be available for ST185, it seems that only two are currently available. The first is the “KYB New SR […]
3 Running hard on snow and gravel has taken it’s toll. I’ve got two blown rear shocks and a really sloppy tie rod. I guess that means it’s time to get started. Problem is… nobody else drives Celica’s, and nobody makes Celica parts. There are no rear strut replacements available… period. Well… there might be one option. I’m in pursuit. Did […]
