Q's New Era Hachiroku Ryan's SW11

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 have some new parts. Long travel inverted Bilstein’s were the first item, and the only planned item, but I tend to buy more and more parts while waiting for others to arrive. I was going to stay legal for stock class, but it’s too easy to leave that behind. As I said, it started with the Bilsteins. The old […]

The Cycle of Waiting

This is on the front of my car now. I found it pretty tiring this winter, constantly ripping the OEM urethane undertray and sideskirts off when blowing through snowbanks and ice chunks. I’m not asking it to protect my oil pan from boulders, but hopefully it will hold up to solid water, and maybe even give me a bit of […]

Light Armour

This is my favorite shift knob. I made it from an old trailer hitch. It’s big. It’s heavy. It looks gnarly. It feels awesome… But it doesn’t match the persona of my Subaru. It worked on the AE86 with raw home-made stuff everywhere, tight buckets, and a fat deep steering wheel. The WRX is stock and normal and plain and […]

Dipped



I got my first care package from Japan. Werd. I had been mildly worried that my Wat’s would end up being fakes. There are so many clones out there… but these are legit with the right stampings and original stickers on the backside. They are also the right weight. 16 8J +35, and 7.2kg on my scale. That’s about 16lbs […]

Help


My recent find on Yahoo in the end, did not include all the parts required for my uses, so once again I’m looking at options for drivetrain upgrades on my car.  A DCCD swap into a USDM transmission is complicated greatly by a rear transfer drive ratio of 1.1:1 instead of the 1:1 found on the JDM Version 4,5,6 DCCD […]
