In this case the name speaks for itself. The event looks really sick. The video was made my Stephen Brooks. He honestly makes the best automotive videos I’ve ever seen. This one needs no explaining. You seriously need to just watch it.

All posts for the month August, 2011
I realize I’ve been posting a lot of old school Honda’s lately so I figure I post up something a little newer. Mainly posting this because a close friend of mine owns an Accord coupe and I wanted to show him it’s potential in the “stance” category. I mean the car really speaks for itself. You can see how a oem lip kit, drop and a nutty set of wheels can completely transform the car. I can’t think of the name of the wheels off the top of my head. Any help? Anyways, great car, perfect stance.
And in case your wondering, yep, it’s static.
Classified Moto is a motorcycle shop that recently opened up shop for customizing your bike. From what I have seen they created really beautiful cafe racer style bikes. The one pictured below is really special. I was mentioning to a friend about these “modern” cafe’s. They call this one the XV920R6-R. It’s a early 80’s Yamaha XV with a R6 front fork and swing arm. Pretty sick considering your getting the look of a really great cafe racer and the handling of a modern street bike. I want one.
It’s going to take me a lot to like a car the Smart car. But I think throwing a motorcycle motor in it and drifting it around a famous track in Japan is a good start!
Just got back from a very long weekend, but didn’t want to wait until after work tomorrow to post up. I’ll be posting a bunch of stuff that was brought up this weekend, like new build ideas. One of the more exciting builds we we’re talking about is a FD RX-7. My friend gabe was still un-decided on doing the LSx swap or a uber nutty 4-rotor. I saw this video from over the weekend and HAD to post it up. I think it’ll help him in deciding whether to do the 4-rotor or not. Mad Mike’s FD is absolutely INSANE!

I’m going away for the weekend so this will be my last post until monday. I thought I’d leave you guys with a little automotive perfection. The Hakosuka is the early 70’s Nissan Skyline, which is the holy grail in Japanese automotive history. The numbers of these cars in America is slowly growing. I have yet to see one in person, but when I do I know I’ll fall in love. I thought about owning one numerous times, and with the internet, parts are getting easier and easier to find. A car like this I want to do right and definitely would be more comfortable buying one with slightly deeper pockets. The example below is from the states in beautiful condition rocking the ever popular Watanabe’s.
Everyone enjoy your weekend!
Yet another video on street drifting in Japan. I gotta say this stuff looks pretty epic. I am in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Japan and seeing something like this is definitely on the top of my list.

I really like these first gen. RX-7’s. I’ve always wanted to build one with a couple of tricks. Modded example are few and far between, especially in the states. Japan of course, have the best of the best. I actually found these photo’s on a Japanese blog. Sure, I’ve seen better, but this one looks great. It’s pretty great car. I wonder how it handles with some modern suspension. Hmmmmm.
SSR wheels and fender flairs are great ad-ons.
Many in the Volkswagen community will know who Mike Gilbert is, but for those who don’t, he is one of the most skilled photographers in the automotive community. He also owns a really proper Audi A6 on air. Here is a video he made of the car. Great videography, great edit.
The title explains it all. Matching wheels on your trailer is pretty baller. Not to mention the modded Ruckus sitting on it. The end all, be all is the mint Lexus pulling the trailer and scooter.
