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.

Heh look what is on Kijiji again. How many weeks has it been? I think about 8. It’s just as he says too: very good condition, perfect for winter, no damage… but some cars just suck no matter how they look on paper. This is even oddly tempting for me… it certainly was a fair sight in the garage, but […]

My Ex

Andrew’s new car is already under construction… although I suppose that’s not a surprise as I did say that it barely made it the trip home over the border.  People who wrench are not always proud of boxer.

Proud of Boxer?

So far so good.  Andrew is wrenching his new BC, and it makes me very happy that my car is stock and staying stock.  Whatever that means… I’m in the process of ordering a sway bar, shocks and some bushings.  And I’m also shopping for some interesting stock sized wheels on which I would run 245/45 16 race rubber?  That […]

You Are Dark

I’m rocking this.  It’s totally stock, and actually a blast.  To date, I think the two best dailies I’ve ever had were my RNN14 Pulsar and my NCP12 Echo.  These are two extremely different cars, but what they do share is a pretty upright driving position and oodles of headroom.  The WRX gives that too… and combines a good chunk […]

A Clone

Things are happening all around.  Ryan bought an AP2 and takes his whole family to auto-x as often as possible.  Andrew has gone south of the border and sends this image of something I think is pretty special and interesting.  As it has already left him on the side of the road once… it has the potential to be an […]

The Grass is Actually Greener

I know very few middle aged men of meager wealth that are passionate about anything except family, religion or work.  Mine is dying hard, although I’m doing my best to imagine that is not.  It’s not like I’m considering buying a Honda Accord or a Diesel Truck.  It’s just that a Honda Accord can be a very sensible, affordable and […]
