"Can't Touch This" Compilation

Because it's been a while since I done anything on here, i'll just start off with this.

Barney?

Back to basics

When building the Leviathan, I never considered transplanting Barney’s power plant (turbo 4AGE) over,at least not  at the moment.  Going to the track days always felt like I was never driving it to it’s full limit, and there wasn’t anyone I can compare with driving skills wise.  And what I enjoyed about the lowly under powered 4AGE, was I can push the chassis more than the engine.  Which is why I decided to run  of the mill I had laying out back.  Unfortunately, the first time out ended abruptly, about 100 yards.  But nothing that can’t be easily fixed.  Hopefully, next time I take out Levi, I’ll find out if learned anything.

Does it get any nerdier than having different size rear sway bars for the AE86?

It’s all about appearances

It’s not too often you see an auto part packaged like a Rolex. 

3lb hammer and AE86

The possibilities are endless.

Gettin some likes

Even though Levi cut it’s day short by puking  itself earlier in the day it still made a photo shoot and got some likes in the end.  Next time it’ll be hard park fest for you.

Unexpected failures

When it comes to some parts, there’s some things that you know will fail and others the you never think of ever failing.  This happens to be the latter.  But things do happen at the most inopportune time.  Unfortunately, it ruined my day and a few others.  Black Ice humbly apologizes.  Back to the cave to assess damages and come back another time. 

8/6 Day: Enter the Levi aka Black Ice

This is Levi (no attack on titan reference), short for Leviathan aka Black Ice.  It’s been a while, but I'm finally getting back into driver’s seat.  Didn’t think I’d really build another corolla after the demise of Barney.  Wasn’t even sure I wanted to put another one together, since I know how much work is involved, yeah I'm getting lazier as the years go by.   I guess it’s my destiny, but I really had to save it from the clutches of the fan boys who already pillaged the chassis and left it a slow dying death.  After many days of toiling in the summer heat getting Levi together it’s finally ready for it’s maiden track day.  Let’s hope it doesn’t fall apart on me.  Especially on 8/6 day.

Safety wire to the rescue

Losing the original clips sucks and are hard to come by now a days.  Unfortunately. didn’t have one in the back.  So made do with some safety wire.  Though not original, it does the job.

Eurobeat/ Intial D drifting clips

Not much to say except watch.

Facing decision

Time to do something different for a change.  Or maybe I should stick with a winning package, because Takumi.

KAMIKAZE DIVE Gunsai Attack Fullvideo

Just plain awesome.

Saving time and $$

Thanks China.   Now just let me complete one lap around the track and i’ll be satisfied.

Office space

But its looking more and more like home. 

Hungry

Feeding the beast with some 4AG goodness.  Doesn’t help when dealing 100F deg weather today. 

A new dawn

Wake up gents, we have our marching orders. 

Again!?!

Drinking beers while browsing craigslist, I think I just pooped doomed myself.

Need more filtration

Yes turbos require lots of air but getting a filter almost as long as the engine maybe overkill.

Not really 4AGE

Produces similar power to 4age but with half the cylinders and 600 less cc’s.
