We started slammed month with a desktop wallpaper, so let's end it with another one. Head over to the desktops section for widescreen and standard sized wallpaper of this belly pan scrapping NA6CE. Here's to a fantastic end to a fantastic month! -Linhbergh Nguyen

Most people might find it hard to believe but finding a properly modified VIP sedan in Japan is not that easy, especially up in the Kanto region of the country. VIP is a style that began down south, in and around Osaka, and has over the last decade or so spread around. Different takes on [...]
Here's another "Euro"-styled compact car out of Japan, a Z11 Nissan Cube dumped on color-matched OZ Futuras. The boxy, yet organic style of the Cube lends itself so well to this sort of thing. Somehow I don't think I could convince my sister-in-law in to do this to her Cube in Japan… -Mike Garrett [...]

This past month we've seen a whole slew of automobiles dropped to insane lowness. This Miata is no different. This car is like the crispy cornered pieces of brownies that only a select few actually enjoy. And just like any good brownie recipe, the best ones are always the most simple. Let's be honest here: [...]
To the delight of some, and to the disappointment of others – we've made it to the final day of Speedhunters slammed month. We've seen some wild cars this month, and I wanted to finish up my car spotlights with a look at this Lancer Evolution found at the Hellaflush meet. In a way, this [...]
A few of you might remember a post I did a few weeks ago about this car. Well the work hasn't stopped, he's done a lot of work on the aero and has some new snaps of it out on track. Check out page 39 and up on his build thread. Enjoy! – Carl Jarrett [...]

Ergh… it seems that each time I go to Wilkenson’s I find an increasing amount of items to dump my hard earned cash into. I’m frothing at the mouth for the Autoart Super Silhouette Skyline, but this True Scale Miniatures 1/18 Kremer K3 die cast is also making me crazy with desire. The Porsche 935 [...]
Remember how fantastic childhood birthdays were? I remember I used to have huge parties when I was a child, perhaps just so I could get more presents! These days though it's slim pickings for birthday presents, which is probably why I normally buy myself a little treat each year. This self-present is normally always a [...]
This S13 has been around on the Driftworks forum for some time now but it recently underwent a transformation to what you see in the picture above. Its not often that I'll stop and stare at a car but thats exactly what I did with Rolv Anders Jacobsen's RPS13 drift machine. Its a truely [...]

For the final post on the Toyota Motorsports Festival I want to concentrate on race cars, which is precisely why I chose to open with this shot of the Zent Cerumo SC430, as it tackles the infield hairpin at Fuji, the corner we are more used to seeing D1 cars flying by sideways on. Before [...]
After doing some research for this month's "slammed" theme, I have come to the conclusion that the VW community are definitely ahead of the game. They produce some amazing looking vehicles with minimum effort… Well at least at first sight; when you delve in deeper, you start to appreciate what it takes to keep building [...]
Here is another interesting car I spotted on my recent visit to the Daikoku PA. The Maserati Shamal is a pretty rare sight in any country, so seeing one fitted with what look like bronze Nismo LM GT4s (built by Rays Engineering) instantly got my attention. Stance wise it was pretty spot on, it could [...]

I figured I'd follow up yesterday's Cadillac post with another find from Billetproof 2009 – a bagged '62 Ford Thunderbird. Just like the Caddy, this a period style '60s kustom, with the exception of the modern suspension that allows it lay frame at the press of a button. Sooo sexy. -Mike Garrett
