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.

Not a good picture, because the AE86 wiper motor on the left has been mutilated and disassembled, but compared with the TCR10 wiper motor on the right, it’s a behemoth.  After making and welding on some shakkito plates, I was embarrassed to discover I hadn’t left enough room for the wiper motor. The legs, and wide base of the AE86 […]

Thanks goodness nobody found the interview of me. That Civic was amazing, I even miss FWD from time to time.

More Nostalgia

Last year I was pretty happy to discover Dunlops renowned Z1 Star Spec was available in 185/60 14.  Good fourteen inch tires are becoming a very rare thing.  In fact… of the supposed “Maximum performance” street tires, only two are available in 14″ sizes.  The other one is the Falken Azenis RT615K.  I ordered new tires today.  I thought about […]

Rubber Review

Ha. I’m here for a moment. Nice weather got me out to the barn for a few minutes this week. Nothings happening yet though… except a realization that I don’t have the time I thought I did. The turbo is not going to happen… at least not in the next few months. Recent happenings in the racing world, do however […]

I gave some of you the impression that I’d found an old HKS turbo kit.  That is not the case.  I’m building from scratch, but with the hope of creating something similar to what HKS had produced.  Anything can be done with money of course… I’m trying to do this with a very limited budget.  To this point, I’ve consistently […]

Turbo Sizes

I’m pretty stoked about how this turned out.  If it drives like crap… at least it’s not an eyesore.  Some comments. 1.  Note that the master cylinder is not centered on my plate.  I moved it up as high as I could without modifying the firewall.  This allowed me to get a little more leverage at at the pedal, and […]

    Looks good. I like the idea of moving the booster higher. I left mine low and didn’t change the angle of the rod. It’s firm, but I can lock my skinny 13’s in the dry.

    omg. If I don’t have the legs to lock tires, then that booster will be back on there the day after. No point in having better feel if there is NOTHING TO FEEL. I’m of the opinion that this has the potential to be the dumbest thing I ever did to my car… besides the turbo.
