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.
I really need a polarizing filter to get rid of those reflections from the glass and the shiny hood.
You guys still did awesome! With all the sliding and still managed to get times like that… to me, that is amazing!
well thanks… I don’t think we were trying to slide around though! At the end of the day, I realized that if I just wanted to have fun I should have gone to the DMCC Pro AM. Ha.
I contacted Dunlop today out of curiosity. Word is that a Hoosier A6 operates well at 120 degrees F. We were already at 130 F in the morning. It seems to me that a street tire should run cooler, but I don’t really know. Neither does anyone at Dunlop apparently…
Disappointing. I’m hoping an educated person will get back to me later.
I kind of regret my nostalgic tire sizing… although if I’d bought 225’s I’d probably still be slow but not having as much fun either.
Hi Q,
I talked to Ryan this past weekend in Saskatoon and he mentioned that you might be attending the ASA regional event at Namao this weekend. Will you be bringing your AE86? Or co-driving Ryan’s MR2?
I registered my FSP 75 Celica and arranged to rent a car trailer to tow the celica to Edmonton, but many parts on the celica failed at last nights soloII event that I will not be able to remedy before the weekend. I’ve been offered a co-drive in an FSP neon so that I can continue to build FSP points for the regional series.
Anyways, since I’m not bringing the celica, and if you are driving your AE86 at the regional event, I can bring my 13×8 +4 wheels and 225/50/13 hoosier A6’s for use on your AE86 (if they’ll fit without getting cut up on fender lips). I can also bring some 205/50/15 hoosier wets on 15×6 +10 datsun 280Z swastika wheels for you to use in case it rains heavily.
Regards,
-Dennis
Generous offer. Thanks. I’ll be there trying to drive the MR2.
I’m almost disappointed that I won’t get to see what times you’d post with 225/50 hoosiers or 205/50 wets.
Talk about a battle axe and a swinging mace.
