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.

Will I ever give up AE86? I had dinner with some boys last night. Real… race car boys… Elise drivers, hard tuned Honda drivers, guys who will embarrass you in an unmodified car… People I’ve known for years, but never been all that close to… just cause I’m anti-social. But… these guys… are smart enough to call me on all […]

Offers on the 86 this week… but… again I couldn’t pull the trigger. I haven’t even been watching InitialD or Best Motoring lately. So… imagine what could happen if I did? I guess I’m keeping this car. That could be a choice with major consequences. Maybe it won’t even get on the road this year. I think that’d be alright. […]

Zenkei Coupe – Up in the Air



Running with angle on snow can still be very fast.Rally-x again yesterday. Andrew's BC6 is coming nicely. STRD threw on his CES 3" turbo back on Thursday (we were never going to get around to it) and some tune-up parts were added by us on Saturday. It didn't like rev's much before, and we always ended up shifting way before the limiter... but now, it sneaks up fast, and you wish it would rev higher. [...]

Co-Driving the BC6 at Rally-x


Pulsar’s gone. Whatever. Stop sending me emails to tell me I’m whipped. You don’t even know what that means. I’ve done my thing and it’s time to move on. These have been easy decisions… I’m sad to be leaving, but if you knew what I was trading it all for… AE86 is still hanging around. It might stay… we’ll see […]

Pulsar is Gone.



It dumped a bucket of snow last night. Must’ve been like 30cm worth. My travels today took me a short distance out of the city, where I stumbled upon unplowed roads. I never made it to my final destination, because I got sidetracked and ran out of gas. Today has me feeling like the RNN14 is definitely the best car […]

Bah.


So I’ve made real life harder than it should be, with my somewhat extravagant car life these past ten years. Makes for some difficult decisions. And… Sunday morning, at the rally-x, after I just tagged three cones (one of which pulled a sideskirt off), ran way out of control, and posted only a marginally fast time, and didn’t have any […]

Rally-x cont… bye bye ハチロク
