Update and Possible Future Plans

Check out my new article about my newest car and some upgrades to my ongoing project.

Well it has been sometime since I posted an update on my since dead blog. I have since graduated from college and have been working for almost two years now. I have acquired a new daily driver and made some progress albeit slow on the LTD. My new daily is a BMW 535xi touring. I must say this has been one of the best vehicle purchases I have ever made as I love this car and my eyes have been…

New beginnings …

I recently bought a 1986 Ford LTD. I was looking for one for a short time and didn’t find much as man of these cars are gone and forgotten. Unfortunately, there are few people that actually look for and cherish these cars and now I am one of those people. Ford made the LTD that sits on the Fox chassis in 1983 and stopped in 1986. This chassis is on the aforementioned Foxbody chassis meaning…

Turbo RSX update

I will soon be taking the turbo RSX I purchased to my grandma’s house to put in my Grandpa’s garage where his Falcon was located.(If that peaks your interest I have been working on a write up about its progress.) With the car in a garage instead of my dad’s trailer I can work on it without having to be overly conscious of the mess I might make. I will most likely pull the built turbo motor and be…

Project Dreams

I have mentioned before my irrational love for inline sixes. I have a new found strong interest in Nissan’s most famous inline six family the RB’s. I have been thinking lately that I want to build a four door car with probably an rb25det swap. I have done some research and found that the rb25det can create a better powerband for a street car than an rb26 and is much cheaper. The VCT(variable cam…

If you have read any of my other posts then you know that I drive an Acura RSX while I love this car and enjoy it a lot. I would really like to have a car that is RWD(rear wheel drive). I feel that RWD cars from a performance standpoint can be used for so much more than front wheel drive ones like my Acura. I recently had been looking for BMW’s on craigslist and I found one I wanted the only…

My Dad's Fairmont

My Dad’s Fairmont

Sitting on the Summit side of Norwalk There I stood on the old crooked rickety bleachers deemed the Creature Bleachers, hands on my ears and eyes wide with a large smile on my face, sweat on my brow. It was probably 70 some degrees outside but it felt like 90 on the blacktop that made up pit side of the track. Then I saw it, a red blur on the starting line my smile was now from ear to ear. I…

Australian Icons: part 6 Ford Falcon XC Cobra Hardtop, 1978. Actually the Cobra special edition was a way to get rid of the last of Ford’s Falcon 2-door coupé body shells before the arrival of the “European-style” XD

I wish that the two door Falcon would made its way to the US, would love to own one.

XY Ford falcon So u just watched crocodile Dundee for the first time and I’m a bit in an Ozzy mood so here we are the XY falcon. The Australian falcon is little known in the muscle car community outside Australia as they where never sold in Europe or America and not many over here as it’s a bit of a drive from down under. The only real famous one is mad maxes XB(the later model) but as a Ford guy I think these are pretty cool. Powered by a 200cu 6 cylinder to a 351 Cleveland GT which was the top dog, it was the fastest sedan on sale at the time.I’m going to post four more Australian cars over the next couple of days so stay tuned.
