St. Louis SCCA PDX!

The final STL SCCA PDX is coming up this weekend! This is the last PDX of the '08 season and looks to be a very good event. The forecast.... well, we're not going to talk about it so as to not jinx it! This will be my first time on the track this year Read More...

Plan "B" Racing

It seems in racing, there's always a plan of attack, then there's Plan B for when things don't quite go as planned. This past weekend at GIR was the first road race of the year for Plan "B" Racing. We made some pretty big changes to the Neon this winter Read More...

Running down the list...

The Neon is coming along nicely if a little slow. Top half of the cage is complete. Main hoop, lateral bars, windshield bar and gussets, roof bar and temple bars are all finished up. 6 of the 8 pads are complete. Still haven't decided the location for Read More...

ITA Neon progress continues....

Good progress on the Neon this past week. Big learning moment of the week was never to trust measurements taken within 4 hours of getting the flu. Nothing like a pretzel for a main hoop! Interior is pretty much free of any excess weight from the B pillars Read More...

Neon Progress

We've got quite a list compiled for the ITA Neon. Lots of suspension stuff going on, one of which was installing a set of XX-High springs provided by Performance Driven LLC and will now be sporting 380# rate Front & 276# rate Rear springs vs the 225# Read More...

Easy Does It....

The RX7 went to it's new home yesterday. I never liked loading up in the rain when the car belonged to me... it's even worse when it's no longer yours We loaded up everything during a really heavy period of rain, and of course it let up as soon as they Read More...

Gettin Antsy...

The ITA/IT7 RX7 racecar is over at Tuxedo Park Racing , the Sentra's down at AFI getting some work done on it, and as of 18 hours ago, I've got an empty shop. I'm already getting an ts y for something to do. The 3rd Gen FD RX7 was picked up Read More...

"It takes a steady hand...."

I haven't been too intimidated by many projects ("Sure! Lets rip the roof off and build a second story on the house... and live in it while we do it!"), but the FD RX7 in the shop now has me on my best behavior. This 3rd Gen is by far the Read More...

Up's & Down's

Ecstatic to see the 'vert gone and getting the attention it deserved, I turned to ebay to see what some of the prices for the parts I have left were fetching. I was none too happy to find my former convertable sitting on ebay itself, not even 2 days Read More...

Breathing Room

Woohoo! The vert is gone! I wasn't nearly as sad to see it go as I thought I would be. Possibly because it went to a local guy so their might be a chance I see the car every once in a while at some local shows/cruises. I still have to deal with all Read More...

944's multiplying like Rabbits!

The NASA Spec 944 hasn't even left the shop yet and already there's another 944 on the waiting list. It'll have to wait a little while though as next up is a 3rd Gen RX7 for a NHRA 6 point with swing-out doorbars. This particular RX7 just completed a Read More...

Chickens + Counting = 'DOH

'Vert is still here, but I'm not all that surprised. No worries though, but I would like to get some room in my driveway as things are starting to stack up. The Spec 944 wasn't quite ready in time so we put him on hold for another week and Read More...

No clever title....

... not that they're ever all that clever.... The S13 240sx drift car is long gone. Finished it up in about 2 weeks or so. I'm sure that the owner is happily sliding sideways on very cold freaking tires right now! More happy loose pics at http://www.izzyscustomcages.com/240sxCage.html Read More...

Cue Dobi Gray (or Uncle Cracker for you young-ins)

Marla got the boot and is getting all prettied up for her big weekend. Before she was even on her way home, an ITS BMW 325 came in for a doorbar update and to remind me how S L O W the TIG process is and how many Ibuprofen's I need to take after TIG Read More...
