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.

Celica is gone, and barely missed at all.  I can think of no cars that make sense to purchase.  ZN6 is first in my mind, but I’m trying to be practical and wealthy, not happy and poor.  I have about 10 daily notifications subscribed to on Kijiji, and four enthusiast forums that I check daily.  It’s been a long desperate […]

Pieces Of This Dream Remain

I came back with a to do list… the car is fast and fun in corners, but very much out of line on the highway.  The power and torque are there, but due to my alignment and aggressive fitment is horribly unfriendly over bumps, uneven pavement and standing water.  This is the first time ever that I’m going to have […]

Emergency Landing

I used to get 20 or 30 spam comments a day… but I logged in today, after three or four weeks, and there were a measly four.  Even the bots know that my car life sucks.  I’ve been looking at this car with great frustration.  If you haven’t forgotten… I did sell it and have a buyer back out… TWICE.  […]

A Pulse?

Ryan is on a ten day Land Cruiser run in Moab right now. He has yet to send me a picture of his FZJ80 dwarfing the hoodoo’s but… looks like there is some other cool stuff there. This guy seems pretty ballsy is his mild 40.

Life with AE86 is full of company and motivation. ST185 is a little boring and uninspired. If there was snow on the ground 365 days a year it would be no contest, but in summer there isn’t much to do except appreciate 3SGTE output and a quiet/solid chassis. AE86 could keep me satisfied all winter long with an endless supply […]

    I bet there’ll be a lot of community with the FRS, given its already huge following despite not being in dealers yet.
