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’s fall. I missed the last weekend of driving by blowing a hard coolant line on a night run. I guess my soldering skills weren’t up to task, but I’m pretty confident that my ability to gob on JB-Weld is. I am now completely leak free and driving dry for the first time all year. I guess it was a […]

Now What?


Having a booster masks how much the bulkhead actually flexes when you put real pressure on the brake pedal. Without a booster every stop takes as much leg work as any stop would with a booster equipped, and given that, you really notice how much the bulkhead flexes and the master cylinder twists. It can be gross. So I built […]

Grainy.  Distributor relocation or DLI kits are typically the most expensive or hack part of 20V swaps… and from the engine’s standpoint this is neither.  It sure is hack from the chassis point of view… but I’ve already cut and welded and braced my chassis so much that this seemed entirely trivial.  Total cost was like $7 worth of sheet […]

Ha. I doubt it. Pretty hard to walk away from this.

Farwell?



There have been some niggles. 1.  Wire RSO had a loose connection at the ECU plug, occasionally tripping a code 33 CEL, preventing the idle speed control valve from closing, and causing a high idle. 2. 195/60 Azenis are way bigger than the 185/60 Dunlop’s of 2010.  Fender massage and zip tie work has been needed to minimize rubbing, although […]
