Past Projects

In the fall of 2001 Ryan and I started assembling and modifying cars together.  All started in different forms, some from scratch, others from near full build requiring only tweaking and tuning.  Nevertheless, all of these cars have been ours… we have a tendency to go through a lot:  lots that never even made mention here, and some that I spent hours writing and thinking about.  It is some form of A.D.D…. really.  In the first few years after we teamed up, neither of us managed to make it through a single season with one car.  They came and went. Mostly it was because we liked to dream, but it was also partly because there was always someone willing to buy.  Cash just looks so good.

Note: These charts are for fun.  Don’t confuse them for us being hard core and bad ass.  Check it out.

After the car posted fast times at winter auto-x yesterday I got constant inquiries about what tires are on the car. I’ve run a number of winter tires in the past, with my favourite being the Kumho KW19 (now discontinued), I am now using Sailun WST1. Sai-what? That’s what I said, but my tire guy convinced me to give them […]

Soft Rubber


Subaru is not Toyota. I have never owned an Alfa or a Lancia but having heard a little bit about life with either, I reckon that if you want the experience of a finicky/disgruntled car while still remaining a Japanese loyalist, you should buy a Subaru. I don’t feel like ours are ever going to leave us stranded, but damn […]

Always Breaking



Just a shot from the weekend. I hoped to make winter rally-x, but was forced home. Next time. The lake has become my favourite place.

In The Morning I Awake

If you are not one for subtle hints, this is in the barn. It’s an EG33… which is the 3.3L H6 which belonged exclusively to the SVX. Until 2008, this was the highest output naturally aspirated engine that Subaru made, with 236hp and 230lbft of torque. The block is essentially a 1.5x EJ22 block. That means that it’s basically a […]

NA is Better Two Hundred and Eight Six

We’re back on the lake again, and my car is much changed… last year I enjoyed the car a lot when it was completely stock, but I’m never one to leave well enough, alone. It often behaved inconsistently in tight maneuvers, which was something I blamed on the nancy viscous rear LSD. It didn’t have the ability to transfer noticeable […]

Winter Mode


In Vegas for the weekend. Meanwhile at a mudding wrecking yard back in Calgary…
