Toan’d Up M3
As if owning a Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3 wasn’t enough of a car to start out with at the track, Toan features his newest aero upgrades amongst his other mods. JUSTICE!

Ill Motion: RSX
The RSX and Si may well be one of Honda’s last performance FWD combustion engine “sports cars” but it is by no means the least admired. Having always been a fan of the Integra, their was no debate as to wether or not I was a fan of the DC5.

R Thirty Floor (R34)
For a very long time the R34 Nissan Skyline held the throne as the most desired Japanese import regardless of how difficult it was to acquire one in the United States followed by the Supra, NSX and RX7. But with time the performance coupe aptly nick named “Godzilla” has moved down the ranks as the successor, GT-R (R35), and others such as the LFA have premiered. That being so it appears that owners of the legend are more willing to execute more risky modifications as you can see. f$%k Yea!

Nostalgia: Volk’d EG Civic
Something about this EG Civic brings me back to my high school days when Sport Compact Magazine was my religion and all I could dream of was building a b-series Civic (It might be time to make that dream come true.) In other news, earlier today the gentlemen and I posse’d up and made way to the Metro NY Porsche Club’s 3rd Auto-X of the season at Tobay. As you could image it was filled with P cars of various generations as well as a number of Miatas. Holding true to our JDM roots, 3 out of the 5 us put our rice burners to the test. At the end of the day we left with ear to ear smiles, mildly bruised egos and short $40 but I guarantee you we’ll be back for some more

Where Are All The Dope Genes..i? (Insert Genesis Plural)
The debut of the Hyundai Genesis had many tuners awestruck considering that it actually looked appealing and had two engine options with plenty of potential but since that moment, the KDM savior has had a faint presence on the automotive community as whole. “Where is you, yo!?”

Mission Accomplished: 350z Coilovers Installed
Few things are more rewarding than modifying your car and not running into any complications. Actually that’s not true, I could easily list a few things that are more rewarding but that’s besides the point… Having covered my brothers 350z purchase and other related discussions, I’m proud to announce he finally pulled the trigger and started collecting parts. Beginning with coilovers (d2),Work Meister S1 3piece (18×10 and 18×12) and not ending with tires. Coilovers installed next is to stretch these tires on

Been awhile.
It’s been quite some time since I last got to see the Fizz Autosports Evo in person. There’s obviously nothing quite about this car, but in my opinion the owner really found a way to pull off this assortment wacky color’s and track spec aero components. If you’re a regular on Evolution forums or happen to live in the Tri-State-Area you’ll almost certainty recognize this IX, but if you live under a rock or otherwise figured out a way to miss the bright green paint and neon orange Volks than here is a single shot for you to enjoy.

Bug-I
In snowy North East Winters like the one we are currently exiting the idea of having an AWD car or a car with some storage space comes to mind far to often. Unable to get from point A to point B without a considerable amount of caution, my FR platform routinely exposes its its achilles heel. Sometimes, though, no amount of snowfall or ice will part owners with their projects. It is those inefficiencies that strengthen the bond I have with my project as it should for you, contrary to what realists would like to think.

I would not mind trading my S2000 for a day with a tasteful bug-eye wrx. So long as I can get it back
HKS Premium Day NA1 Widebody NSX
This weekend gave way to some much need me time. With work absolutely becoming a factor in my lifestyle an opportunity to create some separation between the two was without a doubt essential. For those of us who are under the belief that your work and social life can exist independently are in for, as cliche as this may sound, “a rude awakening.” Feeling that I’ve undersold myself, this NSX brought my goals back into scope and the pursuit of achievement shall proceed and continue. We have our shirt designs ready for print, we are just waiting on one of our friends to return of Cali so we can put an order in together as you get breaks with increased quantity. We’ll also be getting some more sabre-skulls cut for the new season and the site should have a new layout soon as promised by Ryan Rich.

Red, NA1, widebody NSX on some diamond black volk TE37s… :soul stolen:
S2K Sunday
With my new wheels on and fitting like a plus sized woman in a petite pair of pants the task of rolling and pulling my fenders and a rear bumper tab relocation tops the day’s to do list. You know what it issssssssssss, MUFFIN TOP!

Concave TE37 with asm rear over fenders, mugen hardtop, and amuse R1 front bumper plus canards… great success

Something about a German performance vehicle laced with Japanese wheels gets my blood pumping… in a good way. Laguna Seca Blue m3 on white concave Volk TE37s :crowd goes wild:

I’m Saying…
I saw it coming. After recognizing drifters utilizing different front and rear wheels as drift spares and such it only seemed like a matter of time before this trend was going to be adopted amongst the show and street tuners as a style. That being so check out what might be the best show or street? (undefined) S2000 to date, arguably of course.

See that TE37s in the rear, CE28s in the front.

Soup It Up, Yo
The performance the Supra below, the timeless monochromatic color scheme, and the perfect selection of TE37s are areas where no debate can exist. I’m willing to go out on a limb an award this Supra the cleanest street Soup ever, no?

Garage Ito R34
Surveying the few remaining tuning periodicals in Barnes and Noble on this beautiful Autumn day I came across the fabled Garage Ito R34 in the January Issue of Import Tuner. Built with absolutely no limitations, the Skyline has but one goal in mind and that is to be the fastest time attack competitor in Japan. Reading the selection covered in a veil of my own saliva I was appalled to read Dino Dalle Carbonare’s opinion on American tuning, “the American prerogative has nearly always been to intimidate and out-muscle enemies, defeating competitors with brute force…” (“Nearly Always”?!) Disgruntled by Dino’s stereotype, time will tell whether or not it will last much longer with the successfulness of Sierra Sierra’s Evo. That in mind, both cars are schedule to compete in Rev Speed’s Super Lap Battle at Tsukuba next month at least from what I understand.

Amazing
My jaw dropped when I saw this 370Z..Everything about this car is sick. I absolutely love the body lines of these cars, and the TE37′s really made the car. 19×9.5 +12, and 19×10.5 -8… Thing is serious.

MR2 Spyder
The MR2 Spyder with a K20 was an awesome idea until people retrofit the motor into Lotus then things got super interesting. Neverless, a K20 turbo MR2 Spyder given its weight and drivetrain characteristics is still awesome. Below is a Mid-Ship equipped with Rota Grids. Dissapointing, I know but understand the car is used for drifting.

Black Hawk Down
Clean and simple…. Simple to clean? Not so much with its flat black paint and the white Volks (or rotas), but it is one MEAN hawk-eye.

After much verbal abuse the 2011 STI may actually look attractive with some attention to details.

Thrilled
It’s hard to describe the feeling I get when I come across an awesome Integra or Civic. I’m not sure what it is that gets me animated about the budget race cars but there are definitely too many awful attempts at the platforms. This one stopped me dead in my tracks.

Fixated
Yesterday was officially the last day of my undergraduate lifestyle. Celebrating my “hard work, because I believe in my dreams and myself,” I felt usual. Surrounded by my friends and family the conversation either concentrated on work, the future, and cars. After looking at a handful of Nisei Showoff coverage I couldn’t help but to mention the impressive Datsun Z display. Consulting with my friends as to whether or not I should pick up one of classic Fairlady Zs, I cruised craigslist to see if I can find a diamond in the rough. We’ll see what the future has to bring…
