Golden Guardian Motors and Fuels apparently now.  Been looking into how to make my fuel different and what it takes to make it higher quality and control cetane levels, viscosity and those types of things.  What occurred to me while i was going through this is one, i want to produce my own fuel, sell it to other people interested in racing bio-diesel.  Then they can help pay for my part design, and new fuel technology, all kinds of wonderful things for the future of bio-diesel.  So, it will be Golden Guardian Motors and Sustainable Fuels.  The long term goal is to build a company, well actually two companies, one to produce high-end exotic sustainable fuel/product supercars and the other business will be fuel development and distribution.   With this first winter being the initial momentum to a big avalanche of great things to come, i'm trying to lay out some general out lines so i don't get lost in the other half of the avalanche.  A lot of plans and information and trying to keep it all going in one direction. 

Major Goals:
-Race in at least 3 Time Attack events this year!
-Build a vehicle to break the diesel Land Speed record of 350.092 miles per hour set by Andy Green at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
-Build a production SuperCar around my Golden Dragon Fly engine that i'll power the land speed vehicle with.
-400 horsepower with the Subaru ee20 while running bio-diesel.
-Set new record for time across U.S.  Use the same Start/Finish check points as the GumBall guys use.

That's enough for now, i will add more as i check them off.

I don't update this blog enough for their to be a clear idea of what it's about, but this is meant to be all the ideas and development of anything that may be involved with what will be my future bio-fuel performance and technology company that is Golden Guardian Motors.  The bio-diesel Subaru is the first project, but the goal is to tackle challenges with vehicles powered by bio-fuels.  Whatever problems man has, i would like to build something to help.  Building all these vehicles will only further test any new creations, products and ideas we build.  I have been working more on the Golden Dragon-Fly, or so i'm calling it right now, the 8 cylinder, 4.0 liter, horizontally opposed split bank turbo diesel.  Been coming up with numbers for bore, stroke, head design.  it's coming together.  i'd like to keep practicing with the CAD software and see if i can get some rough sketches up.

so i've been doing some thinking on exactly what i want my business, my company to stand for.  why am i doing it?  why is it important?  I want Golden Guardian Motors to build, design and showcase vehicles of high performance that are also environmentally friendly, run on sustainable fuels and hopefully soon, work with more sustainable products.  But, the goal of this company is to push the limits of what is possible with a vehicle.  We will build vehicles to help out in disaster situations like hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunamis.  We will build vehicles that can help people build living structures, reach resources and anything else that people need.  GGM will be a performance company that's looking to supercharge the performance of life around this planet.  I would love to hear about ideas that people have.  What specific situations from a disaster can you think of that if we just had a vehicle that could do..._________?  what would it be?

A great story about the environment effects of keeping your used working vehicle versus buying a new car with better gas mileage.

This is really pushes me to make things happen.  I need to build the Subaru Turbo Diesel and start spreading the bio-diesel and sustainability message, but really, it's time to organize some teams and set up a few shops and produce like new bio-diesel or ethanol ready vehicles.  And then BOOM!  Start Golden Guardian Motors, team with manufacturers of sustainable fuels and sell contracts for fuel with the cars, and let the business grow into it's own entity of the financial world after that, let it be someone elses problem ;)

I don't post on here often, i'm going to use this blog more to keep a target going, for both long-term and short-term goals for the company i want to create and the results i want to get.

Main goal-to spread information about sustainable fuels and how as consumers it's on us to be willing to buy vehicles that run on sustainable fuels and force a market for fuel companies to sell the products.  I would like this company to provide the vehicles to do it, because if it's not convenient, i doubt the change will ever really happen.  I want to create a company that makes these vehicles readily available and cars that are competitive in every market.

It's all going to start with the building of one car...the GGM Impreza RS TD.  I want to use this car to spread information on how and why the fuels are important, all the different ways they will be utilized in the future, and help the younger generations see the options they have to make a difference. 

I think it's also a great idea to re-distribute used cars set up for bio-diesel or e85 use, building new cars creates so much more waste every year, and the value of used cars is hardly gone, the market is there.  My plan is in place, but getting investors is not yet a skill i've developed, so until i get the money to build the car, the plans will remain here on my blog ;). 

This project will create opportunities for more sustainable fuel companies to open and produce fuels, which means jobs, local jobs, and also reduce fuel prices on regular fossil fuels, as well as reducing the demand for it.  This is an opportunity for us to create reduce dependence on foreign oil completely if we chose to take it that far.  No more BP gulf of mexico stuff going on.




Audi thinks its cool ;)

I have a huge idea and it's a little bit overwhelming to me right now, but i want to get it out in the world to make it a little bit more tangible.  I believe it's time for a new auto manufacturer to break onto the scene.  I would like to start this company.  A manufacturer producing ONLY environmentally friendly vehicles and a company who's dedicated to the future and sustainability of automobiles.  The way i plan to do this is to come up with my line of vehicles and then teaming with a bio-diesel manufacturer/distributor as well as an e-85 distributor, hopefully i can find one company for both.  Or maybe even start my own eco-friendly fuel company.  But, when the vehicles go on sale, they will be sold with fuel options for your home, an at home pump that is supplied regularly, to push the sales of the vehicles high enough to force other fuel companies to install pumps.  This company of mine will also be dedicated to finding new technologies and options for building vehicles in sustainable ways.  I am a little overwhelmed right now only because i don't have the finances to make it happen.  I do have the creativity to design the vehicles and the ability to make them happen and i believe that this is what's needed to make a change in the auto industry and keeping it alive and thriving.  I believe others will take notice of this also.

I still haven't gotten anything rolling with the car yet.  I recently lost my job, and so things have been a little hectic.  I feel like it's a fork in the road, either use it as a reason to get my butt out there and see what kind of money i can get for sponsoring this car and getting it rolling, or i can put it way on hold and go find a crappy 9-5.  I'm going for the turbo diesel subaru.  So, i want to start writing about my overall goals and some of the effects i can see and just some of the things i hope this car can be someday.

"A major impact"

There are already bio-diesel race cars all over the globe.  There is even already a rally subaru turbo diesel that runs on bio-fuel of some kind.  But, i still don't see the major changes happening, and maybe it's just that i'm expecting change too fast.  But i mean, those Audi TDI race cars did pretty freaking amazing, just won le mans, have been doing awesome since the debut, and yet, i still don't see everyone going out there and trying it out.  But the reality is, to keep motor sports alive and growing, that may be very well what we need to do.  I am noticing a rapid decline in the industry, and it sucks because i love it.  

So, how do we make an impact?  I think that this idea of building a car specifically for the purpose of advertisement and spreading the message instead of spending all it's time on the track, build an amazing car that gets people (especially young people) interested in the possibility of being able to race cars FOREVER!  Regardless of the state of our environment, it would be cool to know that we can keep racing.  Coming up with more and more solutions to things like freon for a refrigerant, race tires made from 100% recycled used products (which apparently nascar is doing), i know water-based paints are out there, what about a method of lubrication that isn't fossil based?  that would be amazing.  But we have to start trying things now, trying new ideas, and it has to start in the performance arena i think, because that sets the standards for all the automotive industry.  At least in America.

With this car, and it not being stuck to any specific series, or even having to race at all, gives this car the leisure to try new things as often as we can come up with these new ideas.  I hope this opens a doorway into an entire niche of advertisement that gives us an opportunity to give millions of new ideas the chance for trial and see what possibilities are out there.   This whole thing started because i wanted to build an awesome car, i had an idea that i thought would make the coolest Subaru on the block.  Through time and effort and a lot of thought, it's very apparent that this car can send a much bigger message.

Being in locations like local fairs, carnivals, meets, other events, by visiting schools, boys and girls clubs, anywhere kids are, and simply spreading the information on how you can drive REALLY fast on the fat from your local mcdonalds and a little corn.  The effects could be huge.  These kids can grow up and build the next generation of racecars that reach whole new levels of performance on new kinds of environmentally friendly technologies, possibly whole new principles for creating driving power in automobiles. But it all starts with us now, and being willing to put in the effort, build the car, go out and talk to the people, show them what the possibilities are.



P.S.  I just wanted to throw in this little rant.  I caught a t.v. show about this guy, Barry i think his name was, and he buys cars from junk yards or wherever of the old, steel-body, muscle car type and restores them, then auctions them.  When you see those big dollar all original or restored vehicles, those are the types of cars his shop creates generally, as well as some creative hot rods.  They were doing an "environmentally friendly" Chevelle i saw on the commercials for it early in the morning, so i made sure to catch it that afternoon.  So, the build they end up doing...water-based paint (spent a ton of money on adding heaters to his paint booth) and a baking soda media blast on all the steel, oh and they added catalytic converters (or may have actually reused the stock ones) to their swapped in ls1 that they saw fit to supercharge.  It was the saddest joke....well no, the sad part is coming NOW-it sold at auction for $85 thousand dollars.  Now we need the money in our industry...so lets go get it with some real cars that are really helping the planet. 

This first post is just to get my idea down and recorded, it's something i've been wanting to put more effort into and i'm getting a chance now.

This is a complete engine design combining ideas from "W" engine layouts and horizontally-opposed engine layouts.  Any even number of cylinders over 4 will work, but all engines i intend to produce will use a multiple of 4, for the cylinder count.  There are two banks of cylinders, 180 degrees apart, and then the cylinders on each bank have a split of anywhere from 7-25 degrees between them.  I will use engines with overhead cam and cam-in-block designs depending on the purpose of the engine.  I would like to see this engine run on as many different fuel types as possible. I really think it could open up some doors for some new fuel sources, some faster burning fuels.  Anyways...this is the basic idea of the engine, and as soon as i get some layouts onto the computer from sketches, i'll post them up as well.
