I wanted to do a lot, but I’m really not finding time/energy to get out to the garage. I have at least, ordered new tires. The Azenis are still good, I just wanted something shorter… obviously really really badly. I’ll save the Azenis for a new Showa Toyota daily. All the AE86 guys in Japan run 185/55 14 Federals or […]

No wonder ハチロク仲間 were giving me so much respect in Japan when […]

I had to make up for my heavy weight shift knob somehow. It needs a bit of clean up still, but the scale says I’m down more than 1700grams. That’s more than 3 shift knobs! I’ve got a pile of stuff to sandblast; this will go in that pile too and we’ll see how many more grams I can knock […]
