If you’re looking for a “how-to” get disappointed.  If you have the tools then there is probably nothing I can show you.  Look at my welding getting better though… I think… for like 3″ at least. That’s the whole thing.  I made it out of 10 gauge bar and then boxed it for strength.  I don’t think I’d want to […]

Making Seat Rails


Did I really just put this on my webpage?  I wish there was a better video, but they’ve actually done well to keep You Tube clear… or maybe no one actually cares enough.  I don’t care enough to upload a video myself.  And I’m probably afraid of Bill. I hate reality TV.  I hate TV in general.  TV is for […]

Until I bought my car back, I was always saying things like… “In five years I’ll buy an AP1,” or “If Toyota ever made a successor to the AE86, I’d buy it.”  But I’ve recently realized, that’s all bull shit.  I don’t want anything but my AE86. … at least in body.

I found these recently FS on a nihon-go AE86 BBS: complete front struts for N2 AE86 with part numbers: 48510-AE821 and 48520-AE821.  The seller wanted an absurd price for them: quite a large percentage of their price new from TRD, which he claimed was 175000円 back in the day.  I guess that seems reasonable enough.  But what is most significant for me… is […]

… I put the welder on it. I’m a tall guy.  Stock buckets in an AE86 are impossible for me now that I have decent standards, and any off the shelf seat mount always leaves me saying, “moar lower.” (you know I never say that)  After buying some Recaro LX’s, giving up on them, and now picking up some unknown […]
