We got just a skiff of snow this weekend, and that was enough to lock me into my plan of ending the season and preparing for next.  It seems a little pre-mature, but if I’m honest, auto-x had gotten a bit boring and I find it pretty hard to justify $150 for a morning of drifting at a horrendous venue.  […]

Snow


I love this AE86. It’s on my top ten for sure, and maybe my favorite under the hood. Robbie drives Formula D now… sort of. There was lots of bad shit said about his crew “HEY MAN” back in the day. Real boso stuff… but it’s pretty hard to care about that now. Too much style. I really do hate […]

嗚呼ラビー!これがハチロクドライバの生き様よ!!



This video may be a shocker for auto-x guy. Drift guy has already seen it… it’s kind of a tough watch. Five years ago 25% of those cars would’ve been AE86… eight years ago like half of them. No one drives AE86 anymore. Did you notice? There are as many AE86 in that video as there are Odyssey Trucks. I’m […]

Bai Bi 2010?

Wow… it’s actually a little hard for me when I look at it like this.  The BC is dead and will be buried soon enough.  We had thought about keeping this car and transforming it into what I believe would have been an FSP MONSTER.  Ultimately though, one project is enough for me and rustic [qr]garage.  Trails or aura and […]

Bai Bi BC


Today I realized how my car has actually gotten faster. It wasn’t the injectors or the 02 sensor… it was the stickers. At the beginning of the season the car was naked, and I’ve been doing my best to resist, but it’s slowly collecting vinyl and plastic. The one on top, if you don’t read Japanese, says Carland.  Carland was […]
