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.

This is my favorite shift knob. I made it from an old trailer hitch. It’s big. It’s heavy. It looks gnarly. It feels awesome… But it doesn’t match the persona of my Subaru. It worked on the AE86 with raw home-made stuff everywhere, tight buckets, and a fat deep steering wheel. The WRX is stock and normal and plain and […]

Dipped

I got my first care package from Japan. Werd. I had been mildly worried that my Wat’s would end up being fakes. There are so many clones out there… but these are legit with the right stampings and original stickers on the backside. They are also the right weight. 16 8J +35, and 7.2kg on my scale. That’s about 16lbs […]

Help

My recent find on Yahoo in the end, did not include all the parts required for my uses, so once again I’m looking at options for drivetrain upgrades on my car.  A DCCD swap into a USDM transmission is complicated greatly by a rear transfer drive ratio of 1.1:1 instead of the 1:1 found on the JDM Version 4,5,6 DCCD […]

Power Flow

I said in an earlier post that my WRX has on paper, one inch less head room than other model Impreza’s. STI’s have different bucket seats, and wagons are taller. This is the most comfortable stock car that I’ve ever owned, but my seating position does need to be adjusted somewhat when I put a helmet on. It hasn’t been […]

Hella Flush – Plain Ass Seat Edition

After suspension mods, drivetrain mods make the most difference to performance and feel IMO. Drivetrain, not engine… so LSD’s and final drives etc. It’s probably the area where the WRX actually suffers in comparison to the STI. Open front diffs, and viscous center diffs that are too stiff for some applications and too soft for others versus torsen fronts and […]

Good looking car. At that pitiful speed though, there is little for me to regret whilst driving a well used WRX. I’d like to see it on some skinny 15’s. If you can’t get through the full lap, then watch this instead. Lol.

    Nice chase — calm and collected driving compared to the car in front of you. If I ever own a car you fit into, I would like to co-drive with you some day.

    Well it would be fun. I have learned a lot recently, but my greatest skill is probably still getting into and out of big trouble. lol.

    It’s easy looking calm and collected with a very capable car.

    The original video was posted after the school on March 10th. On March 17th we were on the lake again and the same thing happened. I made a new video because the sound in the first one drove me nuts. The new video is above. The old video is here.
