Time Attack Motoring
I was browsing the parking lot of San Jose Municipal Stadium this past Sunday during the annual Bay Area Subaru Meet where I stumbled upon a little gem. When I saw this Nissan A31 Cefiro, I felt like I was transported to Japan because this is the stuff you see roaming the streets there. For... Continue Reading →
After going through all the photos from Wekfest Seattle, I realize I almost have a full on coverage instead of just my favorites from the show... this is definitely out of the norm but I guess I really enjoyed this show THAT much. One of the things that I loved most about the show was... Continue Reading →
I've always thought of Seattle as this gloomy and wet city, one that I'd probably never see myself living in, but last weekend kind of changed my mind a bit. I say this because I actually did some sight-seeing and grubbing with the girlfriend who tagged along with me on this trip, and let me... Continue Reading →
Positioned closely to the Technical Auto One's FD was Radial Class competitor, Auto Gallery Yokohama R35 GTR. At first glance, the car looked like a full Varis example, but upon closer inspection, it's actually a mixture of Nismo, Auto Select,Top Secret and Varis all rolled into one beautiful package. With this aero setup, full interior,... Continue Reading →
So I've finally caught up with most of my Japan photos from back in October, there's still a few strays that I need to bundle up into a post, but this is the last stop from my most recent stay in JDM land. Yashio Factory wasn't on my list of shops to visit but I... Continue Reading →
Before I conclude my R's Day coverage, I want to take some time to talk about some other cars that were present at Laguna Seca during the event. Besides the GTRs, there were also a large volume of FRS' and BRZs as 86 Cup was also hosting their NorCal vs. SoCal time attack competition. Most... Continue Reading →
GTA's Super Lap Battle in the beginning of November was suppose to be my last event of the year as I still have some Japan stuff that I wanted to put up on the site and also I have to make time for the busy holiday season. But here we are, discussing my second event... Continue Reading →
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. Coincidentally, that weekend was also D1GP so it made for a perfect opportunity to do some car spotting while we were there and boy was there some pretty... Continue Reading →
Moving right along to the last portion of day one, I'm gonna keep the writing here to a minimum and get straight to the photos. However, just a heads up, this post is heavily focused on the Evasive Motorsports R35 GTR and the Go Tuning Type R. Now that you've been warned, let's get started!... Continue Reading →
So here it is the last of it, I gotta make sure I have these up before all the Seattle goodness overwhelms the San Jose stuff on the web. But if you are interested in seeing some Seattle coverage after this, be sure to head over to STICKYDILJOE.COM for some really good coverage and some... Continue Reading →
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to hit up the famous Daikoku Futo PA on my recent trip to Japan, so these few Tsukuba hard parker photos will have to do. There were actually a lot more notable cars in the parking area, but I was too anxious to head towards the paddock area so... 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 →
It's hard to believe that the R34 GTR is close to approaching 20 years old in just a few years. Still, with 276+ HP from the factory and an advance AWD system, this car has remained a tuner's go-to platform in Japan and around the world til this day. To me, one of the greatest... Continue Reading →
Almost a month later, I'm still posting Wekfest San Jose pictures... such a shame, but I've been super busy lately with other things in my life and the blog has been put in the back burner for the time being. But this site is still a passion of mine so I'm still going to update... Continue Reading →
Been slacking on posting up the Wekfest SJ photos for the past couple of weeks, but I'm finally putting some up! I'll have a more in depth write-up in the next part which will include some constructive criticism because I think it's needed. But anyways, here's a few shots to get the ball rolling. Photos...

The Osaka-based tuning shop Garage Ito is synonymous to some of the best GTRs on the streets of Japan, and this brilliant R34 on sale at Global Auto Sales is a perfect example of the workmanship of the tuning house. Photos via Global Auto Some faces are more intimidating than others... The exterior of this... Continue Reading →
I've always said that R34 GTRs are one of those cars that needs very little in aftermarket modifications to perform well against other sports cars. And til this day, I still stand by this statement. Photos via Global Auto Even though this particular GTR looks very simple on the outside, it really stood out to... Continue Reading →
