For me it’s not always about the exciting non-stop action when it comes to motor sports. I really enjoy hearing from drivers, seeing things from their perspective. There is always a story behind each car, each event, and each driver. I think you learn to appreciate the sport more as a whole when you get into the lives behind it. It takes A LOT to run a traveling drift team. I’m really glad Maiham-Media took the time to put this video together. Besides his regular greatness, this is a cool change of pace. Props.

I’m sure plenty of you have seen this car over the past year or so, but I don’t think I’ve ever posted it. I can not explain how beautiful this car is. Now, I’m not too sure if every body panel is actual carbon fiber or they just put a carbon fiber over it, but either way the amount of work involved is enormous. It’s also gives the car a beautiful color, and with the addition of wet carbon flares, bumpers and other various parts, you have a GREAT looking car, that in theory has never been painted. So dope. And I love the addition of the bronze Volk TE-37V’s. It’s a match made in heaven. Oh yea, and it’s powered by a RB26, NUTS!!
Sometime people get so caught up in buying the most expensive aftermarket parts and adding everything possible that they forget that sometimes, or most of the time cars look great with just small but effective touches here and there. I absolutely love when you can make a car, not only look like it came out of a showroom, but to the untrained eye, would be barely able to notice the simple mods done to a car. I came across this picture of this absolutely mint and beautiful s13 and it reminded me of that fact. Sometime’s the OEM+ look is the one that takes the cake.
Timeless.
Ah man this is so cool. Super modded drift cars ready to roll to the track, pulled by huge trucks, which also probably modded. That’s living the dream right there.
Lets forget about Silvia, RX7’s, and Supra’s for a second. Wouldn’t it be dope as hell to show up at a drift event with a pickup truck. You got yourself a drift vehicle and a spare parts truck all in one. I love when they throw the JZ and RB motors into the small single cab Nissan’s and Toyota’s and get slideways.
I am really growing a huge love for classic Japanese cars. No, let me rephrase myself, a huge addiction to classic Japanese cars. This is a problem because most classic Japanese cars never made it the this country. So I am left scouring the internet to find the best of the best, learning all the chassis names and “old school lingo”. Kind of tough when everything is in Japanese, ha. Anyways, one, of the many classic JDM cars that are catching my eye is the first gen. Soarer. Just something about the classic square body lines that lure me in. Mix that with little touches to the body and a perfect, period set of wheels and you have a car I would sell many things for. So dope.
Ah man! This is one of the nicest showroom’s I’ve ever seen. Classic Japanese rides restored to a condition that’s better then how they came out of the factory. This is a dream showroom.

I am posting this picture for one simple reason. Imagine pulling up to a gas station on a normal day and seeing all these classic japanese cars chilin. Not only would my jaw drop, but I would pee my pants and probably crash into something from breaking my neck. Holy moly!
Spotted this video on Speedhunters and thought I should share it. It’s a very short video on some of the things that wen’t on during the Nismo Festival that goes on in Japan. I really don’t think there is anything better then vintage race cars. And you have a lot of them from Nissan.
Enjoy the sounds from the event.
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!
