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.

You forgot this thing was here, and I’m embarrassed to say that I’m quite smitten with it. It has certainly been a Dodge… meaning little annoying things break all the time, and it constantly threatens to blow up it’s transmission, but it is cheap, gets beat on and is incredibly practical. It’s also hilarious on snowy roads. Holding massive angle […]

さよなら。 My car life is the most tragic broken marriage to Hachiroku, and GDA is the rad girl I met at the grocery store after I split with my wife because she wasn’t pretty to me anymore. GDA was rad… smart and practical, a good cook, fun for porking and always there for me… but you always go back to […]

What We Had Was Real

Yes I’m sick. The WRX is actually awesome… but I’m ruled by a fantastic view of my first car, and my supposed due date. You’ve already guessed it… so I may as well say it. I have a 2015 FRS on a boat somewhere on the Pacific.

The Inevitable


It’s almost fall, and to me that means prime wrenching season. After three quarters of a season of racing, and the end of mosquito season… motivations are never higher. When my car sits in the garage and doesn’t get driven, I forget how much I like it and start fantasizing about other cars. It’s not without flaws (the turbo being […]

A Night Call



CSCC Solo 2 Event #3 featured a slalom that could be entered from either side… and while this is not an uncommon feature of local auto-x courses, this was a rare case where it was a question as to which side was faster. Debate raged, and while most of the experienced drivers arrived at a consensus, they ALL got beat […]

Choose Your Own Failure


Not driving that well… but I at least am starting to remember the rewards of auto-x. Andrew and I have driven at three events so far this year, which is more than either of us have in the last 5 years combined. The car is not really prepped for any class, but we have found challenge competing with each other… […]

We’re Actually Driving… Sort Of…
