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.

Tough Times... all the money is gone. WTF. I guess I'm waiting on a shipment of goodies from Japan to get me started again, but in the mean time, there isn't much going on. Masaharu told me I had to wait until after 8月6日 though before he would send my stuff... I'm hoping that means he'll have some special swag to throw in the boxes. It's a long wait though...


First, I’m not doing things the way you do.  Second, the zenkei red interior is about the best thing ever.  Third, I’m tall and that sucks. Maybe I just get stoked about taking things apart, or 18th century looking contraptions… but this stripped down seat is wicked hot.  It definitely reminds me of some of my gandpa’s old farm machinery […]

The deal with where we’re going is… that it’s a pretty rough place.  Body damage is almost certain.  Flying is almost certain.  Snow is highly probable.  Sounds like the territory of an All-Weather Monster.  We both have lots of love and a long history in AE86… but the further into this we got, the more it started to feel like […]

Change Of Plans

Not Red or GreenIt changes a LOT. This was an entirely random act, and went from idea to complete in like 10min. Basically Andrew stopped by after work and we decided right then and there we needed to do something about his WhosAlien front bumper no matter what. We found a chopped up mx73 front lip in my junk bin, forced it on the round bumper and then filled a 4" gap in between the two pieces with... duct tape. Truck bedliner on top (I'm ALWAYS out of rubber) and finished. Doing things cheap and hack is so much more fun than [...]

Flimsy Overbite

If Bunta is all over it then it can’t be bad right? You guys are all hyped about Nardi Classic and Torino… and for good reason.  Nardi wheels are sweet.  No one else has really found the right balance between classic looks and good function.  I’ve had a couple Nardi Classic wheels and I couldn’t resist picking up another for […]

Italvolanti Wheels


Moto-P once told me in my early years, about some habits that I could develop and practice every day on the street that would help me improve my driving. They included really simple things like, looking ahead, rounding corners with fluid steering motion, hitting stop points with a constant pressure on the brake pedal, and putting your rubber on painted […]

Folding Mirrors Actually Work… kinda
