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.

Angle Factory 1 has come and gone. This was by far the most challenging course I’ve ever driven, made up of three turns. Turn 1 was a third gear entry slightly decreasing radius, turn 2 was a second gear corner that got really tight at the end, and turn three was an increasing radius corner. The first two turns on […]

Anglefactory 1


Well… I’ve been meaning to get here for a few weeks now but it’s been really crazy. Massive rainfall has at times, literally turned our acreage into an island. The basement is flooded, the roof is leaking and there has been at times, a river 4” deep flowing in one end of the garage and out the other. My Dad’s […]

Stratotech Drift Practice



Picked up a JZA Torsen diff for the GZ out of desperation after discovering the OEM Clutch LSD was useless. Not ideal for drifting but can’t be any worse then open. One day I’ll cave and pick up a Kaaz unit but Vegas vacation says it’s won’t be this month. Third time with the rear end in an out, barely […]

NEW LSD… AGAIN


Ready to RollRyan and I hosted a private drift session today at a potential venue for future drifting events. Eight of us arrived and ran, to show the Westerner Grounds in Red Deer a little bit of drifting. Circumstances limited us to a quarter section of the enormous lot the CSCC uses to hold their auto-x but we still managed a couple simple 2nd gear courses. I hope everyone had fun, and learned a lot! I am certainly hoping for the opportunity to do it again. [...]

Private Drift Practice



Well, first solo2 event over. AutoX is not foremost in my mind this year but I can’t seem to show up to an competition accepting that I am not going to win. Well, i certainly didn’t win this time. I’m not sure exactly who was running in my class but I did not beat any of the drivers I set […]

First Timed Auto-x 2005 – GZ20 and Zenkei Coupe


Time flies… has it really been a week since I last wrote? The CSCC opening auto-x event is tomorrow in Red Deer. Ryan and I spent a couple hours this week working on the GZ20, specifically the alignment. The car had been set up, by the shop that did the OPI initially, do factory specs. This meant about 0.5 degree […]
