• Update Time!

  Where'd the time go? Been so busy lately that I've lost track of what I haven't updated! The Fox body "Domestic Drifter" project is long gone... unsure whether it's been sliding yet at any of the Midnight Madness events or not... I'll have to get an update! Read More...

• Flag Pole mount optional..

• Mullets are not a crime!

  Wrapped up the BMW E30's 4 point rollbar, Recarro seat install, strut bar install and rear sway bar mount reinforcement over the past weekend.

• E30 4 pointer

  Alex April's E30 4 point project is just about wrapped up. Took a little longer than I had anticipated, but toss a sick kid and a tax deadline in the mix and progress can get slowed down a tad. Pretty straightforward 4 point with some reinforcement of Read More... Posted Thursday, April 17, 2008 4:29 PM by Izzy's | 0 Comments

• Jungle Gym

  The Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4 has headed back north to Iowa. Won't be long and it'll be tearing up the track in NASA's TTR class. "Izzy" earned his keep while we were loading the car up.

• 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...

• Grinding to a hault..

  Good progress on the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 the past couple of days... I had a glass company come out and remove the front windshield for the A pillar gussets and dash bar installation.

• What the??? That's not a Neon!

  Walked out to the shop today, opened the door and was stunned for a second by a blue car up on stands. I'd gotten so used to seeing the Neon sitting there, it threw me for a second to see the Mitsu 3000 GT sitting there. Over the weekend we finished up Read More...
