She's very photogenic, even if she doesn't look nearly this good in person. But she's mine, and I'll do my best over the next couple years to bring her back to her former glory. Here's to a nice retro car day for the #Akamame86 . . . .

Thank you @grapejuice_t1 for getting me out, and getting me to the track again, even if I couldn't get back in the driver's seat just yet. It was truly inspirational, and I'm excited to find this passion once more... One way or another, I'll finish this car and get back "on track." #NaturallyAspirated #Nozarashi86 . . . .

The duo are back together. I'm starting to evaluate what needs to be done on the #Akamame86 so she can weather regular use when being restored. I'm likely going to wrap the car to protect the chassis exterior for now, while I work on all the mechanical bits. Once I've repaired or replaced all I can, and it comes time to strip the car down to restore the engine bay, suspension and interior, I'll then likely focus on paint. For now, let's get her safe and clean so sun, heat and use don't do damage anymore. Also, my valve cover says "Toy" instead of "Toyota" and I'm only just now noticing this. 😂 I need to source a replacement blue top cover. Engine refresh is likely happening soon, with a few new parts i.e. exhaust manifold and exhaust, then a good scrubbing of the suspension with new bushings, and 2 small rust spots being welded to ensure any cancer doesn't spread, then get on some new wheels. To be continued... . . . .

Been cleaning her up. The powder coating has faded on the engine block, which hurts to see, as it's due to cleaning chemicals and not from heat/wear. The chrome on the Alternator has become a matte finish as well. Some pulleys need to have the bearings lubed as well. And the Titanium Oil Catch Can needs to be rebuilt as it has some kind of micro fracture and is seeping oil. But I'm ordering OEM parts, redoing the fender liners, redoing the floor panels, and getting the radiator shroud I need so I can install the GReddy Snorkel. After that's in, I can work on finishing the air box and get the carbon fiber in it I need to drop the heat soak it causes when it gets hot. She's been a labor of love, and a lot of work. But I'm eager to finish her, so I can focus 100% on the AE86. #NaturallyAspirated #Nozarashi86 . . . .

The #Akamame86 now in her new garage, as I prepare to overhaul her and breathe new life into her. She runs great, and amazingly can cruise at 80mph without missing a beat. I have a great platform to start with, and I'm excited to see just how well I can rebuild her into something truly special. . . . .

I FINALLY ordered a damn air snorkel for the #Nozarashi86 after leaving my airbox design unfinished for years. Air temps in normal traffic get HOT -- I've seen peaks of 140-150°F when im traffic or driving slowly -- and it's needed a more efficient way to get ambient air for some time. Going to finally finish this thing, and get more carbon fiber in the heat shield to get this working right. Can't wait to finish it! #NaturallyAspirated #NozarashiRacing @greddyperformance https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ6D0y9Mkk2/?utm_medium=tumblr

I look forward to the day I can return to this life. Plans are made to have the car ready and fully built -- engine and all -- for the 2022 season come June next year. Will simply hit as many events as I can from there, with plans of commuting around the country to do so.

I should have done this a long time ago: new headlights, new front bumper, new lip, new grill, and fully restored aluminum engine belt covers. Am slowly going through the car, refreshing, refurbishing, restoring, rejuvenating. Can't wait until the car -- and my back & I -- are ready to drive and compete again. That said, a big shout out to everyone competing at @globaltimeattack this weekend. I'm rooting for you all, and I thank you for being my inspiration. #NaturallyAspirated #Nozarashi86 . . . A big shout out to @raijin.86 for helping me do these upgrades and repairs. There's no way I could have done this without his help, with my back the way it is right now. . . . .

I'm stepping away for a while. I have some things with the Veteran Affairs I'm working on, and if it works out, my entire future will change come January 2021. Some of you know what I'm working towards, and I'm immensely grateful for your support. Those who don't know well, you'll just have to wait... It might not work out, and I don't want things public until I have some final results. I'll be preparing for the 2021 season instead, and step back into cars and racing then. For now, I need to diet, and get physical fit, so I'm ready for the future and also, so I can look good in a racing suit. Wish me luck, and I'll see you folks on the road and at car meets until then. . . . .
