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.

I’ve been here before… and failed.  The problem with MegaSquirt, is that there is too much out there.  For some that’s a good thing, but from a consumers perspective, it is not.  I’m a consumer.  I gotta say… I question the necessity of stand alone.  There are a number of guys who have had great success tricking the stock ECU.  […]

Old throttle body, and new compact throttle body.  They are actually the same thing, I’ve just removed the IACV and replaced it with a small aluminum plate.  Coincidently, I got the idea to do this a long time ago,  from Charmant4AGE, someone who just recently commented on [QR]GaraGe. For whatever reason, I was actually having problems with the idle after […]

My Razor?

bwah bwah bwah.  What does this mean?  I’m too bad ass and my car was too fast?  Or I just got boost obsessed? My fickleness is ruining me, or at least my impression.  Mind change like a million times.  In the end… I’m going to go with something I know I can do… rather than dive deep into another project […]

Everything actually looks well and good… which is actually NOT what I wanted to see.  I’m exploring a few options… the simplest of which is putting this on the shelf and running a 5valve motor.  The most complex is putting this on the shelf and abandoning 4AGE.  Refreshing this thing is somewhere in the middle… but certainly will offer me […]

Bad News

So I toyed with deluding you.  Telling you it’s all perfect… running out there with 200hp.  Tweaked and going strong…  BUT IT’S NOT.  Here is a cut and paste of an email I sent to a curious friend this morning. Maybe not dead, but definitely damaged.  Hard to tell why though… and part of me wonders if it wasn’t related […]

Tick Tock

Shake Down.  Got the car out on the road this afternoon.  I should have recorded the drive… because I was so elated it would have been a noteworthy video.  The car actually sounds turbo-charged.  Somehow I didn’t think it would be so pronounced given my low boost level.  Wrong.  AFR’s seem safely rich 9-10:1  WOT although I never let the […]
