I really love these race inspired builds. Crazy high horsepower swaps, full cage, lightweight parts, meaty tires, and much more. This Corolla is a perfect example of that kind of build. If I remember correctly the motor is from a Volvo, which is pretty interesting. Or maybe it’s just a JZ swap, can’t remember. Either way this car is done RIGHT, down to the custom carbon fiber doors and trunk. You are looking at a crap load of perfect execution.
Ah, Yes! MotoGP season is here!!! The first face was this past sunday and it was a exciting to say the last. With the new chassis and 1000cc bikes I’m sure there is still some getting used to but there was really no surprise as to who was in the front of the pack. Stoner, Lorenzo and, my favorite, Pedrosa, lead the entire race. It really is ridiculous how fast these guys are compared to everyone else. We have new riders, new teams, and new graphics, should be a FUN year to say the least. What I am really wanting to see is Rossi and Hayden step the Ducati game up, I’m tired of seeing them in the middle of the pack when they should be just as fast as the guys in the front. We’ll see!
I always love posting videos about the Isle of Man race. It’s such an amazing, thrilling, and shocking race. So much that can go wrong, so much risk. This is something I must experience, multiple times before I die. So sick!
I have been following the guys at Fast Lane Daily for a while now. It’s a pretty cool change from the normal automotive news you see. This year they are launching a new experience called DRIVE and for their first installment they put together a video covering the 24 Hours of Nurburgring. It’s a great way of showing what goes on during that race from a fans point of view. I hate camping, but I would LOVE to camp out during that historic race. Great video documenting the event.
Boy do I have a soft soft for 80’s civics. Something about the squared look that gets to me. The EC hatch below, you just don’t see modded anymore in the states. I mean it has to be a great platform for a track car. I know of one or two that are being built now for show, but I’m surprised there aren’t more. I guess the older they get the rarer they get and more work they’ll need. But I think it’s worth it. It’s such a classic look. The one I posted here looks great. With a widebody and a set of the new Work CR01’s it looks ready to be beat on at a track. If I can find those fenders, I’m building one!
Gotta love the classic tire stencil.
