Time Attack Motoring
I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with the details and customization on scaled models these days. You can literally build any car down to scale and have the parts and stance to go with it...... and that's fucking awesome.

With so many 240s and 180s out there these days, it's kinda hard to make one standout from another, unless you're TM Car Body Shop. The Japanese tuning shop has managed to take an Origin kitted 180SX, put a host of carbon fiber add-ons with it, and made it a one of a kind RPS13.... Continue Reading →
This gorgeous GP Sports S15 Spec-R is another fresh offering from Japanese automotive re-seller, Global Auto. For roughly 12,400 USD, this 400 HP Silvia could be yours! Photos via Yahoo Auctions Similar to many other Japanese tuned automobiles, this S15 is rockin' nothing but authentic products. One quick look, and you can recognize the relatively...

I haven't really seen too many nicely modified new generation Fits, but they're always out there like this beautiful example from Wekfest Japan! I absolutely love the fitment of the Work Seeker EX against the perfect wide fenders, and that dual titanium tipped exhaust looks pretty cool coming out the back end. Photos by Yoshitaka...

Another weekend, another cool ass event......in Japan that is. I'm talkin' bout the BMW Cup at Fuji Speedway! Now, when I say BMW Cup, I mean some track ready German machines! Minis included! Photos via MINKARA <--------- Make sure to click the link for more!
The thing I love most about scaled and model cars is that you can do whatever you want to them and just let your imagination run wild. So, you might not be able to own a slammed LaFerrari on old school SSR Koenig Monsters in real life, that doesn't mean you can't in a scaled... Continue Reading →
I always say that there are a few wheel designs ever produce that goes well with just about any car, and the BBS LM is one of them. Photos via MINKARA
So Wekfest Japan just went down last weekend and I've been keeping a close eye on all the coverage coming through. Needless to say, I wasn't very impress with the showing this year. As I mentioned in previous posts, I think the Japanese tuning scene, with the exception of shop cars, have been leaning heavily... Continue Reading →
So I've been browsing the web for some Wekfest Japan coverage and I must say that I'm less impressed with what the Japanese tuning scene has to offer these days. It's almost if they are turning into their American counterparts with the saturation of nothing but stanced out vehicles. You may call me old school,... Continue Reading →
If I had to choose the best FD in North America, I'd say this Mayday Garage RX7 is probably on top of that list. I mean, talk about no short cuts taken, owner David Do did a tremendous job on visualizing and executing a spectacular build that has so much Japanese influences but yet made... Continue Reading →
The Subaru Forester, a name rarely spoken around the spectrum of car enthusiasts. I mean, lets be honest, this car sits three feet off the ground from the factory, comes with standard fog lights and roof racks, clearly not a sign of a car enthusiast's dream. But like they always say, there's always an exception,... Continue Reading →
This is about as clean as it gets for a VW R32...or any VW for that matter. Perfectly lowered on BBS LMs, no bullshit or gimmicks, just the way I like it! Photos by Yoshitaka Kato via FLICKR
Every year, the aftermarket industry see new and innovative products roll through, some more significant than others of course. But innovation and technological advancements is always progressing as the years go by. One of the products that I keep a close eye on every year is most definitely the almighty, wheel. These days with so... Continue Reading →
Leave it to the Japanese to make the simplest mods transform a car in the most significant way. Like this Audi RS4 Avant on Enkei RS05RR, so simple, yet so perfect. Photos via MINKARA
One of the things I love most about the Japanese car culture is their dedication and effort in their craft. I mean every weekend there seems to be several car meets going on, and these meets are always filled with top notch vehicles and at most times even shop cars makes appearances. One of the...

Now THIS is a classic looking GTR. Nismo V-Spec II dropped on Tein CS dampers is all you need to make a R34 look more stunning than it already is from the factory. Photos via Yahoo Auctions Nismo exterior sets any GTR off just right. Classic LMGT4s sized in 18x10.5 +15 gives this GTR a... Continue Reading →
I've always been a big fan of a simpler approach to modifying cars, especially for street use. This "less is more" approach is very similar if not the same concept as "quality over quantity," and that's exactly what we get with this S15 Spec-R. Photos via Yahoo Auctions The Vertex Lang kit is definitely one... Continue Reading →
