Zenkei 2 Door

Oops. The car that twice I said I would never get rid of is gone. The final explanation of that is that sometimes ones appetite is bigger than one’s stomach. This car simply got too hard for me, and it was all my own doing. If I had more money it would have stayed in storage forever, probably tuned even harder and driven any less.

And I say driven even less, but that’s probably impossible. In the last few years of it’s time with me I only found a couple opportunities to take this car on a closed course and really enjoy it. It was amazing there, but an embarrassment and pain in the ass on the street. I loved it dearly, but don’t miss it at all now that it’s gone… especially when I see it rolling hard around town all glassed and vinyled up.

Nice weather has lead me to wrenching a couple times over the past week.  I’m not sure towards what end.  The car just gets more and more pulled apart as I continue to find more and more things I want to address.  I’ll have to limit myself though… because I don’t want this car to sit forever.  I did at […]

Hayashi-Bomber-14-65J-7No Disrespect... and it's not the reason I recently sold my MKII's. 100% of kyusha drifters and wannabe drifters know the MKII. MKII's, though rare in Canada are actually a dime a dozen to me... even in 8J 0. I told you when I bought those wheels that I wasn't entirely excited about it. I was simply lured by a silly cheap price that happened as a result of a poorly categorized auction. And then I was horribly disappointed to find the tires I wanted were no longer available in 14". Not that that stopped me from buying another set of 14's. 15's and maybe even 16's are still in hunting. But yes... I've stepped in down a notch in size. I have zero regret right now. Spacers will do work in the rear, and I have something else planned for the front where spacers really mess up scrub radius.

The hell does that mean really?  I’m tired of being called it. Drivers side Recaro is in.  I made sliders… they aren’t pretty, but they work.  I should photograph it… but when it’s minus 25 I don’t have motivation.  The seat is mounted LOW.  It couldn’t be any lower really.  When it’s all the way back, the bottom of the […]

Yoshiko teases me as buying “decorations” for my car. I guess so.  I’m not even sure I like them.  The probably won’t get installed.  I just need them to be legit.  We all know how important that is.

Yeah my MKII’s are really here!  I even passed on selling them for a couple hundred bucks profit.  Mine. I’m kind of shocked though, at how 14″ tire sizes have almost entirely disappeared in the past three years.  My hope was to run the most aggressive streetable tire that I could.  What I had in mind was some A032R’s or […]

Round Things


… on me I’ll understand. Things are SLOOOW in the garage.  It’s easy to find motivation for basic wrenching… but fab and welding… I can hardly get anything done in an hour time-slot, and that’s about all that I’ve been able to afford. But what I am working on is primarily getting the new Recaro’s in the car.  That has […]

If You Give Up…
