AE86


There are now over 300 wheels posted in the kyusha wheels gallery. That’s a lot… and maybe I’ve overwhelmed you all. It’s likely that the slow loading time of the full gallery has overwhelmed your patience… or browser. A search form will come, but creating such things is not fun. If you are overwhelmed… then here is a brief summary […]

Five Kicks Seemingly Unbeknownst To The PeopleSix

You know I love old AE86 stuff… and this is probably my most loved book/magazine.  It’s a bit of a rare find, but copies pop up on yahoo auctions from time to time.  I’m too lazy to scan the whole thing for you… and to be honest I couldn’t even really choose highlights (the above is stolen from a yahoo […]

I was hoping that the “Long Boss” might be me… and not only my creation.  Not if I can’t weld any better than that though.  I can barely lay a straight bead on a nice flat steel joint.  I cannot lay a straight bead around a 2.5″ pipe.

Making Seat Rails

Because as much as I’d like to think […]

I’ve never purchased Dunlop tires before.  But I think I will now. 185/60 14 is finally available in a tire classed with the fantastic Kumho MX and Potenza RE-11.  Yes yes, the Azenis RT615 has always been available in 195/60 14.  But that’s a dumb balloon size.  Toyo definitely has it right with their 195/55 sizing… but there is just something […]
