Brickhouse: TIG Time!
A while back when Steve and I were laying out the VK56 swap plan, we made a list of what we need to fab and the tools we need to do it. On the top of that list was a TIG welder. After looking at available models in our price range, it really made sense […]
Brickhouse: New Headquarters!
Brickhouse is making big moves in 2013 and as such we’d like to introduce to you Brickhouse’s new 1,800 square foot headquarters!! No doubt, we’ll be doing our best to fill it with our own projects, but, more importantly and more than ever, we have the space to take on customer builds and projects! In […]
Timeout: KC IC Pipe Dreams…er…Reality
A few weeks ago, I went to Kansas City to finally repay the gent who tuned my car by making him up some intercooler piping. My intercooler pipes keep getting shorter with smoother transitions and faster build times. All told it took a few hours and we ended up with these really nice pipes. I […]
VK56: My Drawr-ings
I was pretty boned up to get a CNC mill for awhile, but before I got a mill I figured I would need to be able to draw the items I want to make in a program, and transfer them from a CAD to CAM program. Well I can successfully say I can make a […]
We bought a VK.
That’s right we bought a VK56DE! If you caught the teaser in the last post, here is the answer. Things are moving full steam ahead in getting the VK56 fitted in the engine bay. Parts are being bought, new items are being made, and tools (really cool ones!) are filling the garage! We’re fitting a […]

How To: MINTY, FLAME ON!
I noticed a while back that upon deceleration I was getting a nice back fire. So I got to thinking could I do more with it? Could I get a fireball every time? Finally, how could I accomplish this? The answer: flamethrower.
Minty Smash: Mystery Nissan E-Fan Install
The fans are a mystery as I purchased Infinity G20 fans of ebay, but what I got looks more like Altima or Maxima. I would file this into “How To” but it was done is such a rush I don’t have pictures of the wiring.
How To: DIY Alignment in Action (Part 2)
I just found this post listed as a draft and not posted to the blog. Part 1 has been up for over a year but somehow this never got posted. It was originally written in March 2011. I’ll likely end up messing with the Silvi’s alignment as well as I make suspension changes so this […]
Timeout: Bosozoku Style In America?!?!?
I was cruisin’ the other day when I saw this bad mother. I was like, “No, effing way, in America?”…
Brickhouse/Greg: Because…Racecar.
I picked this shirt up on my Japan trip last year. This is the first time it has fit my son. It is a R35 Nissan GT-R or as he puts it: Racecar.
Brickhouse: Base of Operation Changes.
Brickhouse Products has a new home as of July 4th 2012. From now on, we will be coming to you from Okinawa, Japan and now Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Moving was a task but there was a cherry on top of it all. I would get to spend some quality time in the driver’s seat of Minty. […]
