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.

If you’ve been here more than 10 years this will have meaning.  Otherwise, I’m just trying to be hard.  Between horizontally opposed engines and Pleiades sister’s this joke from over a decade ago has coincidental meaning now that is totally rad.  My wife and sister are disgusted with me… and that’s part of the fun. ツクワドロン=Tsukuwadoronn=Squadron… but I’m a one […]

My Fetish

While replacing wheel bearings, I finally got around to doing a bit of a performance alignment.  With horrible weight distribution and front drive, I’ve been wanting more caster for this car.  Sadly, it is only adjustable with offset bushings, or set back strut top mounts from companies like Whiteline.  They are dollars though.  A poly bushing kit that will do […]

Alignment

It looks like Tire Rack’s wheel viewer.  They certainly don’t sell Watanabe products now though.  I didn’t think anyone stateside ever did. Doesn’t look so horrible.

I Found This On The Interwebz

…It had better be a real banana, and not a penis in a yellow coat. I scored these on Yahoo. I know that Wats aren’t the original banana spoke wheel, but they are certainly the best. No one else makes a 6.0kg 16 8J wheel. No one else got spoke shapes and lip steps this right. I know these aren’t […]

If You’re Going To Eat Banana…


The wheel search isn’t going so well. So much so, that I’ve almost decided to go with boring Enkei RP01’s again. They’re good light, strong, affordable wheels but it’s pretty hard to love any car that sits on an ordinary five spoke. It’s also pretty hard to find an upgrade for my Speedlines that isn’t already on the Subaru down […]
