First, I’m not doing things the way you do. Second, the zenkei red interior is about the best thing ever. Third, I’m tall and that sucks. Maybe I just get stoked about taking things apart, or 18th century looking contraptions… but this stripped down seat is wicked hot. It definitely reminds me of some of my gandpa’s old farm machinery […]

It changes a LOT. This was an entirely random act, and went from idea to complete in like 10min. Basically Andrew stopped by after work and we decided right then and there we needed to do something about his WhosAlien front bumper no matter what. We found a chopped up mx73 front lip in my junk bin, forced it on the round bumper and then filled a 4" gap in between the two pieces with... duct tape. Truck bedliner on top (I'm ALWAYS out of rubber) and finished. Doing things cheap and hack is so much more fun than [...]
We all want to be fabricators extraordinare. Custom stuff adds so much to your car life. My problem is that because I have a few tools, I feel like I can do stuff that I really can't. Wife and I are heading off on a week long road trip tonight, and given the amount of driving we'll be doing, and the inadequacy of the factory head lights I thought it was important to add some auxillary driving lights. My past experience with driving lights has been... not that exciting. Everything I've ever bought has left me wondering... upon turning them on... if I had in fact turned them on. So this time around, I bought the biggest lights I could find... and afford. That meant some 7" 100W units that I found at Princess Auto... for... $50. Meh. The other lights I've had have all been 55W or 80W so... hopefully these do the trick. But where could I mount such big lights? They could have easily been mounted in the stock position, in front of the grill, but... given there gigantic size[...]

If I called anyone out... it would be an entire population of forum dwellers
31" tires apparently DON'T fit on stock ZJ's. Any forum will tell you that a minimum 2" lift is required, in addition to longer bumpstops... but even then trimming of the front bumper will be needed. This seemed a little bit stupid to me. After all... the Toyota's all fit 33's without any noteworthy trimming, YJ's and TJ's the same... and a lot of newer trucks have no problems with 35's. 31's are peanuts. They are the bare minimum for trail running. Sure you can buy 30's... [...]
What the hell just happened… and what’s with Subaru release bearings that don’t release anything at all… and how about no one else in the internet world ever sharing our grief? Over 20hrs under that damned BC6 on the weekend. New clutch, new flywheel, new mounts… and I hope it runs, because early in the morning I pulled shoot and […]
Warren, came by last night to help us with some welding in the engine bay of the 86. If you've never talked to me about our car, you wouldn't know that we have begun to experience the rapid chassis deterioration in AE86 so often talked about, but seldom corrected. There are various seams all over our car that have begun to separate. Specifically, in the engine bay, the junction of the frame rail and the bulkhead, a couple places on the strut tower, under fender, and the lower rad support. To prolong the life of our AE86 and add some chassis stiffness, we have added over 120 welds in the engine bay. The rear half of the chassis comes next, with focus on the rear shocks towers, and panhard rod pick up. Check out last nights pics. Thanks again Warren![...]
