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.

If you’ve been here for ten years you know a little bit about my history.  It’s been about FOUR MONTHS since I proclaimed NA forever, and spoke with disdain of turbocharger responsiveness and engine bay clutter.  What changes in my mind?  Well… nothing actually.  I just resign myself to reality once and a while.  I don’t have 15k for a […]

Third Time is the Charm?

I lied about it from time to time throughout last season… I’m not even sure I told you guys the truth here?  I’ve been running 5.5 degrees negative camber… and not really because I wanted it.  It’s true that I am a big fan of camber thrust, and narrow balloon tires can take a lot of negative camber, but 5.5 […]

This IS… the typical pose.  I love how my car sits in the barn.  And now it’s actually time to start putting it together.  The first step is complete.  The red engine bay is gone.  It seemed absurd at times, that I was doing all this work just to get rid of the red.  It was worth it.  Flat back […]

New shoes.  Do they look big?  ??  They’re not.  I haven’t mentioned it, but we bought an Echo sedan.  I have friends with Echo’s… they all give me tires.  I have like four full sets of 185/60 14 now.  If I’m going to go drifting next year, what could be better?  Am I going to go drifting next year??? I […]

Not really… or at least really slowly.  Step one of my winter plans was to get rid of the red in my engine bay.  It actually drives me kind of crazy.  So I started by stripping everything, with the intention of just giving it a good scrub and a coat of paint.  But then I noticed that some of the […]

Progress?

Get it?  I said I was going to pull 100lbs out of my car this winter and although it seemed like a long shot at the time, I’m actually getting more and more optimistic about it as I progress.  I’m already about 20lbs down, and I don’t even feel like I’ve done anything yet.  No… I’m not going to strip […]

    I read this before I went to bed, and I had a dream about taking out the AC and taking out the sound system out of the Evo. I think both are SP legal things so I might just do that – despite promising myself that the evo will be as streetable as possible. Argh!
