I could not even get close to building my own race car without a lot of help from my friends. My buddies Paul Moore and John Teaby are shown here working on my CV joint conversion project.  

I needed a new SA2005 certified helmet for the 2010 season, and wanted to stay on my budget. A buddy and I bought these GForce Pro Eliminators, and are very pleased with them, especially for the money. It’s easy to spend $500 on a helmet, so it was nice to get a comfortable helmet with [...]

I finished installing the rear disc brakes on the wagon today. I’m using a small, two piston Wilwood caliper, 200SX rear rotors, and a set of  T6 aluminium caliper brackets that I made.

I finally have the all prep work done on the rear crossmember and control arms. The new control arm mounting brackets are set-up for camber and toe adjustability, and the exhaust pipe cross-through hole has been enlarged. The chassis mounts for the crossmember and moustache bar are now solid, and the CV-joint swap using BMW 2002 [...]
