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.

Of all the turbo AWD cars I have spent time with, this one is actually the most poorly behaved in the snow.  That doesn’t prevent it from being fun, but I have been forced to realize and learn new things.  The most obvious problem is that the stock engine really is quite laggy and unresponsive below 4000rpm… probably not a […]

Too Much White. Where Is The Road?


2

I bought my WRX a wife. She wants a dual outlet exhaust, 16″ wheels and one of his ribs. Our Sienna has gotten tired, and with the WRX as fun as it is around town, the van wasn’t doing enough of the grunt work. In addition, the van got stuck twice in stupid places this week, and is actually pretty […]

Proof That I Won’t Be Stock Forever



2

This shouldn’t have been a big deal.  I guess in the end it wasn’t really, but with work and other stuff going on the car was off the road for almost six weeks.  My WRX which was supposed to be stock and reliable and wrench free.  That’s why I bought this car right??  To be a get in and drive […]

My MisFiring Subaru


3

I’ve found something to aspire to. After my last week fighting phantom mis-fires, flashing MIL’s and what are hopefully dummies on the internet, I wish my car would blow up and die. At least then I wouldn’t feel like I’d be chasing phantom problems and removing air boxes and batteries with all my barn time. I could move on… to […]

My Fantasy



2

Oh yeah I forgot. This is why I never owned a Subaru until now. It’s missing and cough and spitting and feeling undrivable. That’s very annoying as our first snow fall of the year is expected today. What to do?? Buy a cheap OBD scanner? Buy an expensive OBD scanner that does other stuff too? Just dump $600 on new […]

Not MILF, MIL


Before the internet, and before I knew about toe-out and LSD and rebound damping I went to auto-x and had fun.  Somewhere along the way my knowledge and ambition began to interfere with wanting to do things because they were fun.  I should be more ashamed to say it. I went karting with my family a couple weeks ago and […]
