1JZ-powered Lexus IS300 – Drift Dreams Realized

Well before this 2002 Lexus IS300 was powered by Toyota’s venerable workhorse 1JZ, and prior to it looking clean enough to nab a handful of trophies at a local car show, it carried mismatched panels, some off-road scars, and an eager new owner with a headful of ideas. Today, after 6 years wrapped up in

This Twin Turbo Lamborghini Huracan Evo is Pure Insanity

Owners of exotic cars, like this 2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo, aren’t all that different from those of us working on imports of yesteryear. Sure, our tax brackets are light years apart, but for the most part, the goals are pretty similar. Things like modifying in order to personalize and, though it might seem hard to

Modifying the 11th gen. Honda Civic

It’s too big, looks too much like an Accord, and Honda should only be using designs from 20 years ago – all things repeated over and over as the official images of the 11th gen. Honda Civic Touring and Sport sedan models were undressed and thrown into the cruel world. The tomato tossing goes for

Don’t Sleep on the 2002 Subaru WRX

This 2002 Subaru WRX represents arguably the largest portion of the enthusiast community in that it’s a long-term build based on a more affordable option. The STI model, while deservedly aspirational, isn’t within everyone’s grasp and as such, many make do with that they have available to them. The steady, often lengthy process of gradually

Drift Dreams - 1997 Nissan 240SX

How this 1997 Nissan 240SX and its owner and builder, Galen Nazareno, made it through 5 seasons of drift competition is as much a lesson in persistence as it is a healthy reminder that things don’t always go according to plan. The roller coaster ride that often accompanies a journey into any form of motorsports

The Honda Meet vs. Florida Pt. II

For years, the Honda community experienced a pretty significant divide in terms of car building styles that seemed to be based heavily upon your region. “East coast cars are like this, West coast cars are like that” and spin-off arguments that drilled all the way down to how much cars are driven, how fast they

Your First Complete Look at the 2022 Honda Civic

Late last year, Honda dropped an 11th generation Civic sedan prototype on the world, and, in typical modern day automotive culture, it scribbled a fairly bold line in the sand. On one side was a group that welcomed the more mature design direction applied to the 4-door in comparison to the 10th generation’s slicey and

Hondas Overtake San Diego’s Waterfront

We’re not entirely sure how they were able to stuff hundreds of Hondas into the uncomfortably tight confines of a parking lot intended for a much smaller number of visitors, but Old Skool Honda did just that.

JDM Converted, K20 Type-R Powered 1991 Honda Civic

Inspiration in car building can come from just about any direction and, more often than not, thrives when influence from outside the norm works its way into a builder’s final product, and this 1991 Honda Civic is a prime example of that notion. Borrowing from multiple styles helped create a one-of-a-kind ED chassis Civic that

2021.5 NISMO Special Edition GT-R

Fourteen years is an eternity for a chassis to remain in production without a complete redesign. We rarely see cars, even special interest or sportscars eclipsing the 10-year mark in the Japanese vehicle realm with a single chassis. Sure, it happens, but it’s not a common occurrence though Nissan seems to push those limits as

Bentley Continental GT Time Attack Terror

Comparing the 2022 Toyota GR 86 & Subaru BRZ

Collaborative ventures between automakers, like that of the Toyota and Subaru joint effort, are typically met with a noticeable amount of pushback from the enthusiast circle.
