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.

Not really… or at least really slowly.  Step one of my winter plans was to get rid of the red in my engine bay.  It actually drives me kind of crazy.  So I started by stripping everything, with the intention of just giving it a good scrub and a coat of paint.  But then I noticed that some of the […]

Progress?

1

Get it?  I said I was going to pull 100lbs out of my car this winter and although it seemed like a long shot at the time, I’m actually getting more and more optimistic about it as I progress.  I’m already about 20lbs down, and I don’t even feel like I’ve done anything yet.  No… I’m not going to strip […]

Stretch And Squish

2

OK… so there is nothing going on at the website… but in my garage there is LOTS going down.  One late season auto-x missed… and I have no regrets.  Fall car life is once again pretty much how it should be.  I am overwhelmed by memories of the past every step I take, crunching leaves from my back door to […]

I Call This Look…

Look!  No booster.  It’s really easy… I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner.  Although, I still have no idea how it actually feels.  I guess I’ll add more details later on.  Total cost so far though… 0$.  Although I’ll pick up some studs and press them into the plate rather than using a nut and bolt.  Everything else… […]

A New Feeling

We got just a skiff of snow this weekend, and that was enough to lock me into my plan of ending the season and preparing for next.  It seems a little pre-mature, but if I’m honest, auto-x had gotten a bit boring and I find it pretty hard to justify $150 for a morning of drifting at a horrendous venue.  […]

Snow

This is supposed to be my favorite time of year.  It’s frosty morning drives, vertically challenged hill climbs, beyond.ca drift nights and quiet nights in the barn.  It’s not quite working out that way… and maybe as a result of that I’m already thinking about 2011.  I have moments of big dreams and fantastic accomplishments, but am typically brought back […]
