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.

Things happen that make me want to sell my car and give up this life. A difficult drift practice on June 01, whose consequences I have been dealing with this week, a saturday wedding and a beautiful girl, a shattered clutch disc, a smoking engine. Work becomes overwhelming, and I’ve made some promises that I can’t keep. That said… I […]

Back Running

Mid season, I half expected to see Ryan back in this. After doing it for 8+ years, it should be hard to just step away… right? More and more, I feel like this is just my website and Ryan is never coming back. It’s true that he was only half here in the first place. 75% of the content has […]

Auto-X

Auto-x last night didn’t go especially well. The car went home on a tow truck. The transmission was wonky all night. I kept missing second gear, going up from 1 and down from 3. This was a frustrating thing… coasting really isn’t good for time. I went off HARD on my fourth run, when I got distracted by something stupid. […]

19000rpm – Boom!

My car is happening. I left the manifold and turbo with Rob earlier today, and when I stopped by later tonight, he had already started on modifying the manifold. His goal, was actually to have all the hardware in by next weekend. Very impressive. If you need an update. Back when Ryan and I co-owned this car last year, we […]
