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.
Gearing up for rally-x tomorrow. Installed some Sparco mudflaps, and gave the undercarriage a second coating of rubber. It's amazing how much those two things quiet the car down on an ugly road. The front mudflaps are a pretty hard tune set up though. They're only about 1cm off the ground which means they rub and scrape everywhere. I should have put them a little bit higher, but I want the most efficiency out of them. I'm not into rock chips. They stick about 1" from the body, front and back. The rear ones don't have to do so much more to protect the car though. There's basically no rear over hang. I also didn't want the rear ones low, because they can get caught in the tire and ripped off when backing up, a lot easier than the fronts can. So as you can see... the rear ones sit a lot high, which somehow helps create a raked look. [...]
