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.

I’ve already heard some derogatory comments, but I think it’s awesome. Someone called them Corolla wheels, which is basically the greatest compliment ever. The car looks very stock… but I dig it a lot. It’s a 4×4 and I love dropping wheels into ditches. The Bilsteins are a little more softly valved than I would like for asphalt, but still […]

Bunta’s Bastard

I’m back on the road, although a couple tweaks are still needed. My old Nikon took this picture, and though it’s not what I was looking for, it is cool. Too bad the car is wearing Enkei’s and not greyed out Wats. With Cobb’s Stage 2 tune, it’s as fast as any car that’s ever been in my garage… but […]

Weird and Dark

I’ve been thinking fondly of old times. A decade ago people were making the 3 hour commute from Edmonton to Calgary, just to SPECTATE at auto-x events. These events happened most frequently on week nights, and I went to all that did because it was better than coming home from work and watching TV. Weekend events suck. If I’m not […]

Reminiscenses

I have some new parts. Long travel inverted Bilstein’s were the first item, and the only planned item, but I tend to buy more and more parts while waiting for others to arrive. I was going to stay legal for stock class, but it’s too easy to leave that behind. As I said, it started with the Bilsteins. The old […]

The Cycle of Waiting

2

This is on the front of my car now. I found it pretty tiring this winter, constantly ripping the OEM urethane undertray and sideskirts off when blowing through snowbanks and ice chunks. I’m not asking it to protect my oil pan from boulders, but hopefully it will hold up to solid water, and maybe even give me a bit of […]

    Looks pretty tidy. So tidy, in fact, that I think you might run into airflow problems for the radiator and intercooler! A few holes to exhaust hot air might be in order.

    To exhaust hot air downwards eh? I have seen that here and there on NASIOC. It’s an idea that goes against the primary concept of a splitter… I’m not sure I’m completely on board, but maybe it’s worth looking into more.

    I’ll probably front mount that intercooler and exit air out the top before going down. Silly TMIC… does Subaru really think air goes in that scoop, through the intercooler and out the bottom? I need to do more reading and examining.
