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.

With Japan in the state that it’s in, my wife traded her summer trip home for a family trip to Seattle.  So I’ve been out of town for the last week and haven’t actually gotten anything done on the car.  I did get in a few minutes before leaving however, to finish off the turbine outlet flange.  As I said […]

Little Progress

Actually… this only took me about 20minutes to put together.  Anyone else would give you the obligatory close up shot of nice bead… but no way I’m embarrassing myself by doing that.  My fear of pinhole leaks necessitates multiple passes on occasion.  Meh.  It looks well enough from a distance, and will be fine once painted.  Not like I’m building […]

A Days Work

Yah.  Stuff’s here.  Now we’ll see if I can actually make anything out of it.  From the compressor outlet to the throttle body will be 2 inch, while the AFM into the compressor and the downpipe will be 2.5 inch.  I bought a tubing cutter this time, and am looking forward to not using a messy grinder! I think about […]

Tubes and Bends

I’m a monkey again and that means I have to drive to work everyday.  My wife’s uncles are all higher up’s at Toyota in Japan… meaning my wife is a big fan and I have a good excuse, but more than that… since the persecution of Toyota by the American government, I have decided to do all that I can […]

New Here

2

Recently, I imagine that this is all going to bolt together nicely, make good power, and be totally drivable right from first start up.  Certainly, all this research and planning will add up to something right?  And I now completely understand why I’ve had these same parts on my shelf twice in the past, and never gotten around to installing […]

Levers and Welders

Last thing I said was that turbocharging would wait until 2012… but I’ve ditched that.  It’s happening… but with only 6 weeks until the first auto-x, I feel like the rush is on.  It really shouldn’t be a problem assembling everything and making the car look like it’s turbocharged, the concern is getting it running to a point where I’m […]

    Don’t forget that I have a box full of turbo parts from my old rsx-s. Including a turbonetics bar/plate intercooler which you can borrow to save your motor. 🙂
