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.

Just a shot from the weekend. I hoped to make winter rally-x, but was forced home. Next time. The lake has become my favourite place.

In The Morning I Awake

If you are not one for subtle hints, this is in the barn. It’s an EG33… which is the 3.3L H6 which belonged exclusively to the SVX. Until 2008, this was the highest output naturally aspirated engine that Subaru made, with 236hp and 230lbft of torque. The block is essentially a 1.5x EJ22 block. That means that it’s basically a […]

NA is Better Two Hundred and Eight Six

We’re back on the lake again, and my car is much changed… last year I enjoyed the car a lot when it was completely stock, but I’m never one to leave well enough, alone. It often behaved inconsistently in tight maneuvers, which was something I blamed on the nancy viscous rear LSD. It didn’t have the ability to transfer noticeable […]

Winter Mode

In Vegas for the weekend. Meanwhile at a mudding wrecking yard back in Calgary…

An H Shaped Hole

When it comes to turning wrenches, I swing hammers and throw F-bombs only when I’m lying under the car fighting seized bolts and wrestling with heavy components. Put my car on a well lit bench that I can sit beside, and you can walk my Grandma out there to sit beside me and do her word find puzzles. I’ll even […]

On The Bench

Bought some pink for my Subaru… but it’s no STI or “i” badge. It’s the fuzzy fibers that likely line the walls of your house, and now line the walls of my barn. This is Canadian car life. Odd that it took me almost 7 years to get around to this. Oh… how my car life would be different from […]

Pink For My Subaru

    Having used clutch LSD’s on front axles before, I wanted to go helical. It’s just an OBX unit. They’re cheap too… and this is certainly no bling build.

    The welded rear diff though, is the best free mod I’ve ever done. The car already behaves very very nicely on really slippery stuff… certainly leaps and bounds better than the other 4WD, turbo cars I’ve owned.
