Co-drove at auto-x yesterday with Ryan in his SW11. It’s nice to have actually been able to drive again… I didn’t REALLY manage to keep pace. As I’ve said before, a half a second at auto-x is way OTB… and compared to Ryan I was that far back or further. I’ll blame only a small chunk of that on the […]

1. I picked up AE92 skirts like 5 years ago. They suck. Trimming around your door looks wrong, and they are SHALLOW.
2. AE86 skirts are $$.
3. AW11 skirts aren't that easy to come by, but they are a lot more likely to run into than AE86 stuff, and they are cheap. That is what's pictured here. I'm not entirely sold though. Painting them black would probably help me decide.

Toyota had love for the W Transmission. Various versions were used over 34 years of production. That is sick! And it means there are tonnes of variations and gearsets available for us to potentially play with and perhaps make a real close ratio gear box. Well... almost... or so it appears.
First of all... I couldn't find solid documentation on the early W4X and up to W52 transmissions, but they look to offer additional ratios that may or not be helpful. How those ratios would play out with W55 or 58 input shaft ratio's though was unclear. Someone is going to have to pull one apart and figure it out.

Somewhere along the way I picked up this Hachiroku Damashii sticker. I have a small but treasured collection. Anyways... do other people like these like I do? I thought it was pretty neat that Alexi thought this one worth posting on Nori Yaro.

At 3AM when Hinata-chan is balling, and I can't justify a trip to the garage, I started playing GT4 again. Driving simulator games, especially GT4, are sweet and lame at the same time. Sweet in that they've helped me think a lot about real driving when I haven't in a long time, but lame in that, the time I have spent playing seems entirely wasteful, and I'd much rather have spent the time wrenching or... turning the wheel. But my mission since I re-started playing GT4 has been to go as far as possible with an NA AE86. In the end, it hasn't been that far, but I'll say... that I've been able to go a lot further than initial impressions gave, and it's all a result of spending time tuning gear ratios for particular tracks. The difference has actually been spectacular, and it's lead me to think more seriously about real life gear ratios and what can be done about them. [...]
4 So as I said I picked up some SSR MKII’s recently on yahoo auctions. I was pretty stoked because I managed to snag a set that was not only the size I wanted, but it was also a straight set, and one of a rare color scheme. Rare but also… unappealing to those not really in the know. During the process […]
