AE86

The Dunlops are not wearing as well as I would have hoped.  In fact… even with 5 degrees of negative camber, I was killing the outside edge of my front tires.  I can’t justify the coin needed for 15’s now so I just flipped the tires side to side.  And… since I have a tonnes of shoes in the closet, […]

This is a ghetto part of my car, but it doesn’t bother me.  I thought I was being super INNOVATIVE, but lots of people have seen it and said they did it on their cars too.  I guess I’m the only one using reflective vinyl… it’s a lot heavier and almost completely hides the fact that there is a hole […]

Wow… my first real video. That means there is a lot to comment on. 1. My edit is not reflective of the days performance, but I think it makes a point about driving. 2. Is it tough to watch?

Slow. More lessons from Initial D, although you certainly don’t have to have watched the show to know that this isn’t fast. I’m actually somewhat embarrassed to be showing you this. I only hit one cone all day… but I was just as much of a mess as ever. As embarrassing as it is, it’s actually REALLY fun. Although the […]
