Time Attack Motoring
I was really hoping that the travel restrictions between the U.S. and Japan would ease up a bit before the Attack Tsukuba event last month, but that was not the case at all... Fortunately, I was able to contact one of my friend, Theo, who's currently residing in Japan to help me at least get... Continue Reading →
Hello again boys and girls... I hope you guys are staying home and staying healthy as much as possible during this difficult time in this unpredictable world that we live in. I really hope that this pandemic will pass soon, so we can get back to a life with some sort of normalcy but until... Continue Reading →
So, on my last post I said I was going to put up the bulk of the Attack Tsukuba photos up but I think it's a bit easier if I separated them into sections. This way it's easier for me to keep track of everything and also easier for you guys to access the photos...... Continue Reading →
They're coming, slowly but surely... I'm talking about the Attack 2019 coverage, which is pretty much well over a month old. I didn't use to take so long in getting my photos posted up on the site, but with no events in the foreseeable future (for me), I guess I will milk these photos until... Continue Reading →
I was gonna go ahead and throw up a bunch of shots from Attack 2019 since it's been almost a month, but I still have yet to find the courage and dedication to sit down and write a long post of the event. So, for now, I'll just continue with some short posts... hope you... Continue Reading →
In Japan, time attack tuners and owners spend years or even decades fine tuning a specific car where they'll be able to extract every ounce of power and downforce they can to clock in their fastest lap times possible. This can be said with time attackers from other parts of the globe as well but... Continue Reading →
Attack Tsukuba was the catalyst for my last visit to Japan but like with all my trips to Japan, shop visits also holds a great deal of importance. On my previous two visits, I've limited my checklist to shops surrounding the greater Tokyo area, but as I've grown accustomed to the Japanese public transportation system,... Continue Reading →
In the past year and a half or so, I've been making a checklist of car shops that I wanted to visit in Japan for every trip that I made there. Some are more well known than others but each have their unique sense of originality and aura. I've said in the past that I... Continue Reading →
As I've mentioned on my previous posts, the Mazda RX7 FD3S has been a pretty dominant platform for time attack in Japan for many years. This year at Attack Tsukuba, the RX7 FD have yet again proven itself to be a premier time attack option by securing some of the fastest times on grid. But... Continue Reading →
So I was initially just going to finish up the Attack Tsukuba coverage with one more post but I realized there were still a little too much material to be grouped in a single post. Therefore, here's another car spotlight featuring the Technical Auto One's RX7. Running in the Second Class with just under 400HP,... Continue Reading →
The time has finally come, my Japan adventure posts are finally coming to an end with my last shop visit at Car Shop Glow. I chose to visit Car Shop Glow because they've been gaining massive popularity with their LED tail light conversions, so I know a lot of readers can relate to this brand.... Continue Reading →
Welp, here we are, the end of the line on my Tsukuba coverage, well maybe not quite but this is the end of it for the most part. I really wish my memory card didn't malfunction cause there was so much more that I wanted to show you guys. Regardless, I'm pretty content with what... Continue Reading →

When it comes to Mazdas, especially the RX7, there are several specialty aftermarket brands that pops into mind. The most popular of course, is RE Amemiya, but there are many others with an equally good reputation among the RX7 crowd, one of them is R-Magic. Pro Staff R-Magic has been tuning and developing parts for... Continue Reading →
