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.

It looks like Tire Rack’s wheel viewer.  They certainly don’t sell Watanabe products now though.  I didn’t think anyone stateside ever did. Doesn’t look so horrible.

I Found This On The Interwebz

…It had better be a real banana, and not a penis in a yellow coat. I scored these on Yahoo. I know that Wats aren’t the original banana spoke wheel, but they are certainly the best. No one else makes a 6.0kg 16 8J wheel. No one else got spoke shapes and lip steps this right. I know these aren’t […]

If You’re Going To Eat Banana…



The wheel search isn’t going so well. So much so, that I’ve almost decided to go with boring Enkei RP01’s again. They’re good light, strong, affordable wheels but it’s pretty hard to love any car that sits on an ordinary five spoke. It’s also pretty hard to find an upgrade for my Speedlines that isn’t already on the Subaru down […]

探している


I’ve been car shopping. Having gone back to the Scion dealership and spent a little more time with ZN6, I’ve decided that’s not where I’m going. New impressions weren’t quite what they first were one year ago. The car still drives and handles fantastic. In stock form it really does react and drive the way I want a car to. […]

Direction



My front wheel bearings are toast… and I think this might be why?  Guess I should be cleaning snow out before I get on the highway to come home, rather than the day after.

Was Lazy


Through the SASC Winter Driving School I’ve had a chance to drive all sorts of cars, and as someone who is seldom content with what is in his own garage, I’m doing a lot of comparing.  A couple people have questioned how I like my GDA WRX, so I’ll say now, “I like it a lot.”  Even after driving GR […]
