While on my last trip to Japan, my friends and I made plans to head over to Odaiba and check out the life-sized Gundam that's on display.

I've always loved browsing at photos from various Japanese car events throughout the year because there's usually some heavy hitters at nearly every event.

One of these days, I really gotta just pack up my bags and head to Japan for a few years to really indulge in their car scene. I mean, the quality of their cars are just top notch and their events and meets are just so much more interesting than the American stuff I'm used... Continue Reading →
The Nissan Silvia S15 is probably one of my favorite Japanese sports car ever produced and it definitely have one of the most elegant and free flowing body lines of any car in stock form. But with every factory spec car, there's always room for improvement and with the S15, only minimal exterior enhancement is... Continue Reading →

Saw this gem of a car on Yahoo Japan and I knew I gotta get a post started for this beauty.
