New Speed Limits

I dont know what it’s like where your from, but here in the Lower Mainland of BC it seems that whatever street your on, someone feels that the speed limit is too high so they must do half of it. For Example, 25km/h in a 50 and 30km/h in a 60. You can imagine how agrivating this is when the street doesnt have a passing lane. The car always has tinted windows and always seems to be either  a beige or green 90’s corolla, who are these road natzis that think they can control the flow of traffic?! Something must be done, spike strips? Or wait, I have a better idea, why dont we make them actually earn a fucking driver’s license and not just let them buy it…I mean…for fuck sakes.

Taco Del Mar

I remember the days before Tokyo Drift came out, those were the glorious days in which an s13 didnt cost you over $4000 and sixteen-year-olds didnt hog all of the good industrial zones. These kids, they act no differently than when they street race. They dont have spotters around corners, they just yank the ol’ E whenever they feel like it, always just trying to show off but always ending up in an impressive display of suck. Go back to the Taco Del Mar parking lots!

The Almighty Tofu Wagon

Alright, this being the first post of my new blog I figured it would be best to start with a bang. The AE86 has gained a considerable following over the past few years due to the growing popularity in drifting. I’m not going to explain what the AE86 is because I’m sure if your reading this that you already know that it’s a rwd, 1.6 litre four-banger from the mid-eighties.

If it wasnt for a certain japanese cartoon that shall not be named, I’m sure many people wouldn’t give the corolla gts a second glance because from the outside it looks like a usually weathered (read: rusty) econo-box and it’s true, it is. I think the problem is that these days people are buying these cars expecting to be able drop their tires in the gutter and grip around turns. A stock gts from the 80s is like any other car from the that era, it’s not immune to all problems.

With that being said, the 86 is no slouch once modified. The car is all about balance, a modified 4AG is all that’s needed for this relatively light car. Some tokicos and trd springs can handle the suspension area for the average driver. 300 hp and coilovers are not needed to have fun in this car and that’s why we all modify our cars right? To have fun, go have fun.
