I know this is just my opinion, but there's just something about Japanese tuned cars that just seems to make them edge out their American or worldwide counterparts. Maybe it's the fact that most Japanese tuned cars don't go overboard with crazy amount of camber and fitting the widest wheels possible. They rather focus on... Continue Reading →
Smoke Screen: JDM Drift Supra
Well, it's always nice to see a car doing things out of its "comfort" zone... I'm talking a Varis Ridox kitted Supra getting down with a little drift duty! Photos via MINKARA
Cleaner Than A New Car: A Pristine JDM S14
The words "pristine" and "240SX" usually never go hand in hand, that is, unless it's this JDM S14. Rocking a mixture of BN Sports wide fenders and URAS bumpers, this S14 is as pristine as it gets. Other notable parts around the car includes those gorgeous Work Seeker CX wheels, Bride driver/passenger seats, fully gutted... Continue Reading →
VQ Panty Dropper: JDM Nismo Z33
I LOVE clean, simple, and tastefully modded cars and this Nismo Z33 is the epitome of what I'm talking about. A simple drop and a set of Volk TE37SLs is all that's needed for this Z to standout from the rest. Of course, the aggressive Nismo aero makes a statement on its own! Photos via... Continue Reading →
Double the Sexy: Two Stylish JDM NSX
Ahhh, the NSX, one of my favorite Japanese sports car of all time. Although I'm glad that Honda is keeping that name alive with the new production model, the old NA1 and 2s still holds a special place in my heart. Of course we all can agree that the NSX looks amazing straight from the... Continue Reading →
Orange Crush: Modified WRX STi Type RA NBR Challenge
I'm pretty sure most of you are familiar with the top-of-line Subaru Impreza WRX STi. But I'm also sure that most of you have no idea just how many variations and limited editions of said STis there are. One of the most exclusive (Limited to 200, Japanese Spec only), is this Tangerine Orange Pearl Type... Continue Reading →
The Greatest Station Wagon of All Time?
I know I always say certain cars are the greatest of all time and what not, but damn, I seriously think this Legacy from Japan is one of the greatest wagons I've ever seen. I mean, modding a station wagon is one thing, but putting things like Alcon BBKs and Advan GTs on it is... Continue Reading →
700HP Ridox Supra
Getting straight to the point with this gorgeous MKIV. Arguably one of the best kits for the Supra, the Varis Ridox kit sets the car off just right along with those aggressive Gram Lights 57Ds. And under the hood, as you can tell from the title, a 700HP, 3.1L 2JZ powered by a massive Trust... Continue Reading →
1st Degree Murder: Black on Black R34 GTR
Here's another sick ass GTR I saw on Yahoo Japan. It's very mildly tuned, with about 460HP which is plenty for street duties. Also, the thing I love most about this GTR is, of course, its sinister black on black exterior! Photos via Yahoo Auctions
Special GTR: Omori Tuned Nismo R1 BNR34
I think a lot of us can agree that the R34 GTR is probably the best, if not, top 3 Japanese sports car that was ever created. The R34 is one of those cars that need little to no work done from the factory. But of course, a little tweaking and modification upgrades never hurts.....such... Continue Reading →
Quick Snaps! Vol. 5 [E46 M3 x BBS LM]
Here's my latest segment of "Quick Snaps": A gorgeous CSL inspired M3 on BBS LMs! MoMoHitsTheSpot! Exclusive
Lexus RC350: JDM x Stance
Being in its first year of production, it's safe to say that there aren't many modified RCs roaming the streets just yet. But from the few that I've seen, this one from Japan ranks at the top of the list for me (Maybe behind the Rocket Bunny). Some might say it's too much, but I'm... Continue Reading →
R35 GTRs @ Osaka Auto Messe
Every year, about a month after the Tokyo Auto Salon, there's another gigantic trade show in the Osaka Auto Messe. Similar to TAS, this show also features some of the finest cars in Japan and a gathering place for hundreds of tuners and manufacturers. For this particular post though, it's all about those R35 GTRs!... Continue Reading →

Mugen Rouge: A Tracked Out DC5
I've seen some great looking DC5s in my days, but this bloody Type R is definitely up there on my top ten list! Rocking authentic pieces throughout, how can you NOT fall in love with this Mugen inspired Integra! But my favorite aspect of this car isn't the Mugen pieces, but rather those gigantic Brembo...

SWAT Racing: R32 GTR Attack!
This is definitely one of the sickest R32s not only in Japan, but around the world. Equipped with a gigantic swan-winged rear spoiler, you know this thing is meant for the track! Photos via MINKARA Got wing?
On Steroids: JDM Wide Body Evo VI
This Varis wide body Evo VI is definitely one of the sickest around. Not only is this car aesthetically pleasing, its got the power to demolish quite a few opponents as well! We're talking fully built Cosworth internals with HKS GT turbine as well as 18x11.5 Work Meister S1Rs on Advan A050 rubber that can... Continue Reading →
