I’m still recovering from the wake of insanity that was my trip to Japan last week, but I figured this would be as good a time as any to quickly recap my recent adventures. The effort that Dino and I managed to pack into one week was incredible to say the least, and the result [...]
The end of the month is coming up rather quickly and it's hard to believe the 7's Day was already a few weeks ago. I'll be posting a full feature on the green RE-Amemiya Maou RX-7 tomorrow so until then, and to get you all back into a rotary kind of mood, I thought I'd [...]

If you really want to get noticed at a car show these days you need something really special. We all agree that a good looking car starts with a nice set of wheels. Well how about these 24k gold dipped RE30 wheels on this RE-Amemiya kitted FD3s? -Jeroen Willemsen Spotted on The Real JDM

There are very few shops like RE-Amemiya in Japan.

My friends and I just got back from a drive to Mitsuwa, my favorite Japanese market in Torrance CA… While I was there, I began thinking about Japan and how much I miss being there, even though I was just there about four months ago. This being said, I began looking through one of my [...]

Before I move on to the rest of my D1GP Fuji coverage, I wanted to take a quick break and post up a few photos from the all-rotary meeting that was held at Fuji Speedway alongside the D1 event. I was pretty occupied with shooting D1 itself, so I didn't have time to look at [...]
