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 […]
Minty Smash: Double Duty
First off a big shout out to Rob Sheppard and the KCDrift crew for putting on a another fantastic event. My only regret is I couldn’t make it to more this year. These events are so fun due to their truly grassroots atmosphere. All enthusiast run and an awesome place to learn to drift with […]
Minty Smash: Tid-Bit-O-Sh…Stuff

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.
Greg: Two for the Price of: n-n-none…
I like this action shot. I am also not dumb (though the image suggest otherwise) and do realize I am a prime example of what not to do. My glove (yes, one glove) is see-through and beyond wasted. My hood is on the ground behind me. I am in shorts. My baldness is showing. I […]
