People often think that building a proper street car is a straightforward recipe – you take all the best parts, all the fanciest aftermarket bits, put them all together and voila! You now ‘supposedly’ have the ‘perfect street car’. Anyone who’s had their fair share of modifying a car would tell you however that this […]
Every first week of March is a fanfare for Nissan fans the world over. With the second of March all the way to the fifth designating each generation of the Nissan Skyline, chances are you’ll see lots of material pertaining to Nissan’s claim to fame: the GT-R. And as much as we get to watch […]
I could never figure out how I’d find myself in the position of running the bi-annual circus that is the Legends of The 90’s. What started as a small gathering of fellow 90’s-era enthusiasts back in 2015 somehow snowballed into the fanfare we’ve come to know in a span of just four years. This casual […]
These days you can somewhat tell what kind of cars your typical famous celebrity would drive. For the most part, being incognito is key – meaning they’ll either be rolling in bulletproof Land Cruisers or the odd coachworked Toyota Hi Ace with dark tint. Should they choose to represent themselves, you may see them driving […]
Slowly but surely, life is somewhat returning to what we once knew as ‘normal’ even amidst the pandemic. Last year it made perfect sense not to take any chances with going out for meets, but as human beings going on long stints without interaction with others isn’t too healthy as well. In the context of […]
Take the all-new JB74 Suzuki Jimny for a quick spin and you will come to a very simple realization: The damn thing is NOT FAST. A 1.5L four-cylinder lump making a smidge over 100hp can barely be considered propulsion these days, and for something like the off-road oriented Jimny this is par for the course […]
Let’s face it. At this point in time the widebody hype is something we will all have to live with. Much as people rave or loathe the trend, there will always be that route for those who want more presence out of their chosen platforms. Considering how much they transform the look of certain vehicles, […]
What is ‘Kansai style’? Is there even such a thing? For those who have been to both Tokyo and Osaka, you’ll notice that the atmosphere is a lot more laid back in the Kansai area as compared to Tokyo. This also translates to how people build their cars in the region. From Hondas to VIPs […]
Let’s face facts: we love so many cars but can only get one or two of the real-life versions of them if we’re lucky. As car enthusiasts we are bound by various limitations that may not allow us to enjoy all of our dream cars – some of us being fortunate enough to experience owning […]
All hail the mighty BNR34. The BNR34 Skyline GT-R is considered to be most popular thanks to a few flicks on the big screen and that Japanese video game with over 50+ versions of the Nissan Skyline. Today, as the cult continues to grow with countless GT-Rs being bitten by the mod bug, subtle examples […]
If you’ve been following my Instagram account or seen me drive around town, you’ll know that a staff project update article for the Lexus IS has been long overdue. And yes, I apologize for the delay in writing about it. I wanted to wait until one final component arrived before I actually could finally say […]
The year was 2012, I was a 19-year old college student with a lot of free time and no consistent source of income. So what’s the most mature decision I could make to make my time worthwhile? Purchase a money pit that would leave me broke for the rest of my life. At that point […]
It’s been three years since the last Legends of the 90s event, and people were wondering whether another one will happen. The page was quiet, and everyone seemed to have moved on. But the guys heading the event – Aurick, Ryan, Marco, and Robert – decided now was the time for Legends of the 90s […]
Hondas have a weird way of sticking to people who’ve enjoyed driving them growing up. You’d think that these cars would be best for young guys working their way up and starting their careers, and eventually they’d move up to another platform and forget their front-wheeled roots. Pay enough attention though and you’ll notice an […]
