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.

Oh look who’s back. Although it never actually left anywhere except my mind. After twice taking deposits from individuals who’s eyes were bigger than their wallets I am vowing to change how I use deposits and selling cars forever. Deposits are for people who come to look at cars on Sunday evening when the banks are closed. Deposits are not […]

This can only mean one thing… and it’s not just the AE86. Both cars are gone. WTF is going on? A. My work makes me feel like a man. B. Two little girls are really nice to come home to. C. It’s almost mosquito season. D. Japan was really really awesome. WTF is going on? I miss the AE86 horribly. […]

My ST185 has gone the way of Migs.  I.E. LEGENDARY.  The real question is… which came first: Hyper Rev Magazine or Migs AE86?  There sure as hell aren’t any Monroes in my AE86 magazines. Of all the struts that used to be available for ST185, it seems that only two are currently available.  The first is the “KYB New SR […]

Running hard on snow and gravel has taken it’s toll.  I’ve got two blown rear shocks and a really sloppy tie rod.  I guess that means it’s time to get started.  Problem is… nobody else drives Celica’s, and nobody makes Celica parts.  There are no rear strut replacements available… period.  Well… there might be one option.  I’m in pursuit. Did […]

Odd ball

When I look at my AE86 now, I wonder if it isn’t almost something called “done”.  Of course there is always more than can be done, but as the car currently serves little purpose for me, it seems somewhat meaningless.  For my own pleasure, I’d like to add a little bit to the engine, but that’s simple.  The Celica on […]

I helped out at an SASC Winter Driving School yesterday.  Very good time.  I enjoy the challenge of 4WD, and the opportunity to reflect on driving by observing others.  These scratch marks were observed after I got out of the car on course to consider my line and technique.  Looks like I had good angle at least… The Celica is […]

    Too bad I was stuck in my “square” for the day; I would have enjoyed riding/driving with the other instructors.
