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. […]
1 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 […]
It’s still a 4A-GE but twice at auto-x on the weekend, supposed Showa Toyota enthusiasts were left confused. “S” “L”?? What engine is that??

Time for a new heart. Shoaib at JDM Source has hooked us up with a complete ST205 3SGTE. He’s pretty much awesome everytime I talk to him, and […]
2 This picture is a few days old. The garage is a gigantic mess now, but I can’t photograph it. My wife took both of our camera’s to Japan for a month. As I said before… the SW11 was in for a few simple things prior to season. The AE86 however; I’m beginning to wonder if it will be ready to […]
