Six months. That’s how long it had been since I had driven Leroy, my EK track project. In fact I hadn’t even seen the car without a cover on it since Super Lap Battle, so you guys haven’t really missed much. With my schedule taken up almost entirely by professional photography gigs and Speedhunting, there’s [...]
There’s an old adage that goes a little something like “(insert noun here), can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em” and for most petrol heads, this holds very true when it comes to our project cars. At times we’ll spend every last dollar we own, take our bodies and minds to the ragged edge, [...]
Pop quiz: what do you get when you take one of the world’s largest car company’s racing R&D wing, give them unlimited resources and cut them loose to improve the hottest compact car in the world today? Answer: the TRD Griffon Concept. Don’t let the wacky name fool you, this car is all business; and [...]
I think it goes without saying that it takes a special kind of person to decide to build a first-generation Acura Legend. Not surprisingly, Charles Trieu isn’t exactly your average person, but he is one of the more interesting individuals I’ve met in the scene and also a close friend. Coincidentally, he has some of [...]
Despite the “I see what you did there” title, here it is, one of the most highly anticipated FR-S builds from Tokyo Auto Salon. I suspect for some of you it might be a little hard to sustain enthusiasm for the ZN6 at the moment, due largely to the massive saturation of the car, particularly [...]
I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to tell you that the overwhelming trend of Tokyo Auto Salon 2013 was the FR-S/GT86/BRZ. Those of you that read Dino’s post from earlier in the week will remember that there were an unheard of ninety-one of these cars on display at TAS, more than any other [...]
I cannot remember the last time that I was as excited about a car as I am the FR-S you’re looking at right now. That’s a pretty bold statement when you take into account how difficult it has become for anything automotive to knock my socks off, and even more so when you consider that [...]
As car enthusiasts, events of all types play a very important role in the petrol head eco system by providing two things which we require to sustain life – incredible cars to gawk over and like minded people who are as obsessed as we are to talk with us about them. There was no shortage [...]
Continuing on with our coverage of the Tokyo Auto Salon I thought it would be interesting to take a little look at some cool tuning parts that were on display, starting off with this JUN 4.2 liter stroker kit. It is still in the prototype stage at the moment but when released it will further [...]
What if you had the opportunity to build the car you always wanted? For some people it would take years to eventually get a car to a certain standard. But there are also a few that are fortunate enough to have their car built to perfection in only a few months. One of these people [...]
Every opportunity to post a 300ZX is legit right? This black on black version has all the right stuff. You can turn these cars into real head turners with a drop and nice wheels. Everything else is just too much. -Jeroen Willemsen

There are a lot of differences between the Euro spec Honda's and the US versions. I recognize the car in the picture as a Honda Accord, but I know that the car is called Acura TSX in the US. I also know that 'we' got the Type S in Holland but I'm not sure what [...]

Takahiro Ueno is one of the top D1 drivers. This JZZ30 Toyota Soarer has seen a lot of abuse but is always maintained to the highest possible level. Responsible for that are Ueno’s own companies, T&E and Sui:Vax. T&E is the company behind the Vertex body kits, while Sui:Vax builds the engines. Paul Castillo from [...]
