2013 Redline Time Attack Round 7 Big Willow/Big Troubles
After round 6 I had to change the engine from the loaner SR that we used at Fontana Speedway, and put in the Semi built SR that we had planned for the rest of the season. We threw the engine in with a bottom mount turbo set up because the top mount set up wasn’t […]
I Like Big Wheels, and I Cannot Lie
At one point, my car had all its body panels, suspension, and drivetrain… then I pulled it all out again. Feels like I’m working backwards! On a positive note, since I had to pull the engine again to fix some miscellaneous issues, I was able to make space to get some more optional bracing installed […]

1:24 Scale Nissan S13 Silvia – 1/24 the Size, 100% the Fun!
Sometimes it gets tiring working on Kandi 2.0; that’s probably why I still haven’t finished it after 3 years. I picked up this 1:24 scale Nissan S13 Silvia during my trip to Japan. It would have been awesome to find an S13 convertible, but this one will do. It’s been many years since I’ve touched […]
