Random post here. I recently saw a picture of my car on Rotiform’s fan page, from H2O. It was one of the few I saw from the weekend, but it was pretty epic to see it on Rotiform’s page. The picture of course is pretty epic. It was taken Sunday night at a random meet.
Like I said in my H2O posts, the lighting and the fog from that night made for some epic shots.
Thanks to Shutter Garage for the awesome picture.
I’m pretty sure I inherited the GN love back when my brother bought a Buick Regal to try and convert it to a GNX replica. Didn’t work so well, but he would show me a bunch of modded Grand Nationals. I had to really dig into my photo archives for this photo. Below is a real Buick Grand National GNX. GN fans know the GNX is a uber rare special edition. These cars have so much potential and as you can see it doesn’t need much ascetically to look really good.
I think I’m going to change it up for a couple posts. I’ve been giving you guys a crap load of tuner stuff. Like many of you, I am into anything on four, or two, wheels. Hot rods are those cars they you drool over as little kids and continue to drool over as a grown up. And I think we all can agree that on these hot rods, the fatter the rear tire, the better. To accent the huge rear tire is the equally insane front tire. Which is really just a drag radial. This thing must be crazy to drive. Talk about road presence.
A little RWB action from the Hella Flush Japan show. Why? Because race car!!!
“Damn”. That is the first work that came to my head when I first saw this car surface on the forums. The jdm front had just been put on and the paint wasn’t matching. But the fitment of the wheels and the look the car achieved, it didn’t matter if the car was “finished”. We’ll here is a video of the car with an updated paint job. “Damn” is still the first thing that comes to my head.
Ok finally getting around to finish up my H2Oi coverage. As you can see, it took me four parts to cover what I saw, and I missed a whole lot. My coverage now continues sunday night when the strip”quieted down” a bit.
We wen’t back to the convention center parking lot to chill for a bit and this was the first thing to catch my eye. One of the many cars I missed all weekend, but spotted sunday night.
Found this beautiful cabrio back at the hotel. These Rotiforms look absolutely perfect on the mark 3 chassis.
Moving on to the parking lot that seemed to have all the action that night, I spotted this blue S4 sitting on Bentley’s.
A little E30 love. Bagged, on RS’ and new paint. Gotta love it.
Parked next to the E30 was this E46 M. Painted in the stunning Frozen Grey that was recently released on a special edition E9(2?) M3.

The lighting was really crazy that night with the rain and the log. Made for some really great looking photos.
Really loved this R32 on BBS Super RS’.
Not one, but two Audi A3’s here in the states, together. The size of the turbo of the blue one was absolutely humungous. I heard these are owned by a husband/wife, or sister/brother, but I could be wrong.
Mk1 perfection.
Love this custom widebody MK5. But there just seems to be something off about the rear fender, I just can’t figure it out.
Another incredible car I was trying to catch the entire weekend. I wish I had info on it. I have such a weakness for these early 911’s. Looks to be like a RSR(rep)?
Don’t ask me why beat up cars attract me. It’s just one of those things. Such a cool E30.
A MK5 and MK6, both on Bentley’s.
Posting these pictures up solely for my friends Gabe, who will soon be doing a full build/restoration on a MK3. The widened front fenders look pretty good here.
Last but not least are the pictures I took of the staircase everyone was talking about. This is the staircase that the 700hp Toyota Supra crashed into after loosing control. Why you would be punching a 700hp rwd car in the rain, on slicks, is beyond me. “Because Racecar” I guess. haha
Anyways that FINALLY concluded my coverage of H2O. Needless to say the weekend was filled with awesome. If you haven’t stayed the weekend, try it out. I promise you will love every moment.
So after finding this video, I start doing some research and saw the the JZ swap is fairly common in old school Volvo’s. I think it’s pretty sick! Taking something ugly and old and make it into a drift monster. But at the same time, who doesn’t like a classic Volvo wagon? I think we can all say that some family member at some point owned one.
Alright, we left off as it got dark in part 2 of saturday night. That was the point in time when my friend and I got completely soaked by an ass driving past. Mind you I had my camera out taking pictures. Pissed we wen’t back to the hotel to change and meet up with everyone else. We wen’t back out and stopped to check out the Wrong Fitment Crew gtg. The spot was really perfect, as it had tons of lighting and seemed to be on display to the passer-byers.
S2k on CCW classics. Always a winning combo.
Never liked these 2-door Accord until I saw this one dropped on Rota’s. Would make for a great daily.
Another sweet Saaburu.
Of course the stanced Miata’s were out in force.
Finally caught up to this S14 to snap a picture. This car is just so aggressive looking!
The beautiful S4 we all remember from last year, still looking great on CCW’s.
Doesn’t take much to make a 3-series look great.
Absolutely LOVED this S2000. The color combo just seems to work.
First time I see RS’ on a Subaru. Looks good.
Another shot of my favorite. OZ Futura’s work so damn well!
Here is something you don’t see very often. A Prelude on Borbets.
Was digging this Miata .The Rota’s gave it a really aggressive look.
Ugh! Love seeing these first Gen. RX-7’s. Still waiting for someone to throw a LS in one.
And here is the powerplant of the 5-series shown in part 2. Yep, it’s a 1JZ. Nuts!
We hit the road again to cruise, and saw this Quattro in the distance. Lets just say I broke a couple laws to catch up to it. Absolutely beautiful!
We then found a spot with super great lighting and decided to do a small impromtue shoot of my car for SNTRL.
Here is a little sneak peek.
Anyway’s, that about ended our night. I was a really long day for me. The coverage now continues at H2Oi Sunday.
The show was at a different location this year, a school. First thing I spotted was this BMW 5-series sporting Rotiform SNA’s. This used to be a Cali car, owned by a Rotiform employee. Great to see it.
Sweet widebody MK5 on Rotiform’d BBS RS’.
Inspirational Mk1.
If I didn’t want something outrageous next, this would be my next car. Something about a slammed white mk6.
Two very different but equally awesome MK2’s.
Beautiful Z4 we spotted back at Waterfest.
This was my favorite car of the show. Clean mk3 on Fifteen52 newest 3-piece wheels.
Weird but cool MK5 truck.
More of the Quattro I spotted the night before. Packing 400hp with it’s 5-cyl. turbo.
MK5 sporting RS4 seats done by Plush Automotive way out in Europe.
Weird seeing a Japanese car in a VW/Audi show, but it’s welcomed.
Couple of nicely bagged B6’s.
As you will see, the Rotiform booth was stacked with quality.
Such classic lines.
Dub mom!
A better picture of the RS4 converted B5. I don’t understand why these don’t get more attention.
The most anticipated car of the weekend for me. Now bagged on Rotiform’s. Although I never saw the 18inch RS’ previously on the car in person, I think they are a better fit. I saw this car and a bagged 200 series Merc rolling down the strip later that day, and I seriously got goosebumps.
Small bumper MK2! Ugh, love love.
Something about white MK3’s that attract me so much.
Clean and simple. And Rotiform!
The beautiful GS spotted all weekend.
Ok, so that concludes part 3. I swear only one more part left! I just couldn’t let the epicness of the weekend go to waste!
Taking a small break from the H2Oi coverage, I’ve been wanting to post this video up for a while now. With one of my brothers being a big fan of the 350z, I like to follow the trends and new projects from around the country/world. As most of us know you can go with a pretty aggressive wheel in the back. It’s almost mandatory that you have AT LEAST a 10.5 wide rim in the rear to even be considered “hellaflush”. Minty Z was a car I didn’t like when I first saw it. Mainly because of the color of wheels he first fit to the car, it just looked too trendy. The polished/chrome VIP Modular he is rocking now, looks absolutely sexy on the mint colored 350z. It also helped that he is static and slammed beyond the floor. Props!
Ok, so back with part 2. I figure I might have around 4 parts. I took a lot of pics lol. I left us off with saturday around the middle of the day. We wen’t back to the condo to re-fuel and headed back out to chill on the strip to see cars drive by.
Really hot girl taking a picture of my car.
A bunch of random Volkswagen’s and one of the many diesel trucks with loads of people in the back.
really crappy picture of this stanced out Del Sol. Followed him home for a while, car looks great.
Another crappy picture of a car that was a shocker. Who would have thought a Legacy wagon would look so good on BBS’.
Stopped by a couple of really nice cars to take some shots. RS6 wagon. Sick!
Was really digging this slammed GS.
Would really like to see more of these “VIP” RL’s. The car really has classic lines and looks great modded, as you can see.
180’s were out in force. Really liked the one piece Fifteen52 wheels.
Beautiful bagged Eos on Rotiforms.
Seriously wanted an S14 after see this thing all weekend. More on this later.
Dun Buggy was carrying around a tent all day, since it didn’t have a roof.
Some people didn’t forget to enjoy the weekend. Check out the Harlequin Buick!
Dope cars driving by faster then I can keep up.
The dopeness continues.
Some rolling shots of the the weekends show stopper.
The ever-popular old Merc 200-series, bagged on RS’.
One of my favorite Rabbit’s of the weekend.
Something right about a tastefully modded Mark 3.
At this point we decided the cruise the strip a little and head back to the convention center.
An absolutely beautiful Datsun 240z on Rota’s.
I wish I got a better shot of this Jetta. I was done quite well.
Two rare shots of my own car. Notice the newest addition, R32 rear with filled exhaust holes.
Tasteful Jetta on Fifteen52 wheels.
Yep, that’s a Porsche 964 on the strip.
Two great looking Miata’s on the strip. I need a girl like these. Down to ride, in the rain, in a loud, rough riding car. Props!
Super nice Jetta wagon. Yet another car bagged on Rotiform’s. lol
I’ll end part 2 with this rat style C-class riding static with lots of rust. I freakin like it. Back soon with part 3 & 4. This stuff is time consuming, smh.
