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.

Time flies. I ordered a set of Sportmax for my Corolla. Not a fantastic wheel by any means. Don’t think like I think this is cool. But… I sold my Star Sharks and needed something cheap to roll around on. Sportmax are that… and they’re a good size to boot. The car doesn’t seem to be going anywhere… so… I’m […]

Chinese Mass Production Victims


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


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



It’s 1am on a Wednesday. I don’t work anymore… but there’s no good reason for that. Currently faced with the pending sale of my most beloved 86 (#6 of 10) and the end of my longest ever relationship with a car, I have various thoughts. I got a phone call tonight, from a kind mother. She got my number, from […]

My Farwell to AE86 ??For Now??


Every time a write here, could be my last. I don’t know what’s going on. I realize this morning that not only has the internet culture slowly been falling apart, so has my site. To my loyal readers, I apologize. Recently my life has become over run by worries of money, and a beautiful girl. I have been doing my […]
