Project Car SOTU: The Integra GS-R
/
/
comments
In October 2015 the Integra looked and ran perfectly. It was freshly detailed, which included wet-sanding and headlight clearing. The engine was serviced; new plugs, fuel filter, valve adjustment, cold-air intake with a new filter. It ran strong and it ran well. Then I parked it temporarily in my friend’s huge garage. And I haven’t…

Project Car SOTU: 4Runner Project keeps running

comments
My 2010 Toyota 4Runner SR5 has been getting somewhat regular updates on Hooniverse. In recent times I installed Rigid Industries off-road lights, eBay LED interior lights, and provided a four-season update on my BFGoodrich KO2 tires. Other than routine maintenance and one annoying intermittent issue there’s not much to report. It currently has less than…

Project Car SOTU: A Tale of Two Unicorns

After many, many years of kinda looking, then serious looking, I had acquired my high school dream car. Then after a few months, I sold it. The problem? It wasn’t exactly my high school dream car. It was close – a horse with a horn duct-taped to its forehead – but not quite. But the…

IT LIVES! Having just come back from a cruise through my neighborhood, I can report with some excitement that my ’74 Honda CL125S is officially back on the road. Regular readers will recall from past Project Car SOTU articles that I bought this bike in April of 2014 in an attempt to recapture the sensations…

Project Bike SOTU: Bultakenstein

“Bultakenstein”, for the uninitiated, is my ongoing attempt to learn all the skills required to build a custom motorcycle by actually doing all the steps myself, from scratch. And I do mean from scratch. When I started, I had a frame, wheels, a swingarm and a fuel tank, all salvage parts not just from different…

Project Car SOTU: Motor City Muscle

How do you know it’s time to move on from a project car? When it sits in your garage, and while you think about driving it, it doesn’t bother you at all that you don’t. That is where I am with my 95 Mustang GT, hence, it’s time to sell it and move on.

Project Car SOTU: Toyota MR2 "Someday" Race Car

comments
It’s a situation that us car lovers fantasize over: a car somehow falls into your lap and you feel not only morally obligated, but genuinely excited, to accept it as your own. You welcome it with open arms, tell your friends of the new addition to your fleet, spend hours on the internet researching the…

Project Car SOTU: Subaru WRX

I’ve been posting a lot test-drive reviews lately, and not without weight to them. It’s probably been easy to pick up on, but it’s time to spell it out: I’m shopping for a possible replacement for my WRX. Not yet entirely sold on getting rid of it, I’m simply driving cars that are on my…

Hey folks. It’s been a while. Might as well get back in the swing of things with a project car update. When you last saw, we’d done a little work on the rearend of the New Ranchero (Ranchero Nuevo? Two-chero? New-chero?) and were getting ready to do the cage. To fast forward through it all:…

Project Car SOTU UK Edition: Nothing to see here

comments
Three cars belong to my household. There’s the Audi A4 1.8T, a car with a reputation for a serious appetite for suspension ball joints and ignition coilpacks. Then there’s a ’95 Peugeot 306, which has the multiple afflictions of being French, old and worthless. And pride of the fleet is our Rover 800, widely regarded…
