Try Natural

One thing i've never done on a personal level is a try an individual throttle body equipped motor.  I've built this type of setup for a bunch of other people and always enjoyed the music it makes.  So I think it's about time to do one for myself.

Farewell Red Lion

It's been about a year since Red Lion showed up on my door step.  Incomplete and needing little bit of TLC.  But now the work is complete and the owner is now ready for it's return.  It'll be missed, but now this gives me some space for another project.

Dash cam in asia


In Russia, they record accidents and meteors.  But in Asia, they record people trying to get a payday.

Regulators

I don't normally work on Porsche s, but when I do, I make them pay a lot.

From zero to demon

About a year ago I was in search of some camber plates for Yellow Lion.  To find a bolt on set is pretty rare and not too many aftermarket sources are available, even china doesn't make some.  Fortunately, Ground Control up in northern california still has some support for this old rotary beast.

Always an adventure



Defend freedom and get some lunch too.  A cool recruiting video.  Go Navy!

Toyota MR2 hybrid



I'm not much into drag racing, but when I do, it will be in a Honda engine stuffed into a Toyota MR2.  Just won't take it to TORC.

Working with fiberglass (again)

 A couple years ago a side skit demolished at a local event battle. Me being cheap tried to fix it rather than throw it away.  This was the end result.  Not so pretty, but not too shabby for a rookie.  Now I want to try my hand a fiberglass work again and make it right this time.

Dirt Bug



A Volkswagon bug was the first car I learned how to drive a manual.  Later I owned a off road truck.  I think it's about time I give one of these a try.

AE86 Nights 2014

 
 Its a wonderful place, full of old Corollas with a sprinkle of riced tricked out cars old and new. It's a place where old corolla owners catch up and reminisce on the good ol' days.  While the next generation of corolla owners listen stories of old geezers.  If you're a corolla owner or even a corolla aficionado, this a meet that should be attended at least once.

Suzuki drift



The Suzuki Jimny is not known for it's drifting prowess.  But add snow into the equation, and it becomes a completely different beast.

Recycle broke wheels

I normally don't try and break wheels, but since it's cheap stuff from across the pond, worry about.  But what to do with them if they do break.  Usually throw in the thrash or sell for scrap.  At least for the now, I've found some uses around the garage.

Fd long beach




 

It's about 6a.m. on a Friday morning.  Just hopped off the train in Long Beach Ca. It's cold, and i'm hungry.  Jumped over the fence into the Formula d pit area (not a good thing).  Searching for Taka's pit spot. What the hell was I thinking?

Taka and Dyno

Swung by to pick up a part from Taka to finish a build.  Stuck around to see him dyno his 2AZ monster.

V8 Volvo Supercar



It didn't take first but they do keep the good fight

Cressidas

It's similar to a RWD Corolla so suspension is pretty easy to setup, at least the front is easy. I don't really fiddle with these cars myself.  But old corolla owners who know me will swing by with their latest toy to get some stuff like this done.

Maiden voyage

Red eye, has finally taken it's first steps.  Revived with a transplant much better than previous.  It's almost ready to venture out into the real world.  But it wasn't without it's hiccups.
