1996 Nissan 180SX Type X (S13) - Happy Wife, Happy Life

Masaru Ishikawa never intended for his wife's S13 project to be too extensive, but like a carpenter with a knife and wood, Masaru couldn't let it stay stock without whittling it a bit

DC5 is Alive – Our Top 5 Acura RSX Type S Feature Cars

It may have never been as popular as the Honda Civic or the Integra it was intended to replace, but the Acura RSX Type S FF coupe still had its fans (the writer of this piece being one of them) and champions who continue to preach the gospel of the DC5. Reaping the benefits from

Buy Ken Block's Group N-Spec GD Subaru WRX STI

Can you make your car waltz around a city street or wooded backroad like Ken Block? Probably not. Of course, the inability to hold hundred-foot all-wheel-drive slides and place a front wheel within millimeters of a dock drop-off hasn’t stopped tens of thousands of Gymkhana fans from imitating their rally hero, on- or off-camera. Most do so with a modified

Five Decades of Race Cars at the Nissan Heritage Collection Online

One of the most common flexes among the biggest automakers is to squirrel away examples of their best and rarest work over their history to eventually show off those pieces as an anthology. Not long ago, we received a glimpse at a new exhibit at the Honda Collection Hall in Japan, and much deeper in

Bringing a 30-Year-Old Integra GS-R Into the 21st Century with Pioneer Electronics

I’m sure you’ve noticed that we talk quite a bit about modernizing older chassis here at Super Street Network, and for good reason. By far the most popular group of cars to own and modify, at least within our demographic, come from the late ‘80s to ‘00 era, and with 20 to 30 years on

Get to Know the International Roll Racing Association

Roll racing is having a moment – or at least it was before COVID hit and shut down a year’s worth of events.

1-on-1 with Nissan GT-R Specialist Garage Active

In order to get the full story of Garage Active, and its animated founding father, you would need more than just a single feature. In all honesty, you would probably need something along the lines of the Lord of the Rings sized trilogy, complete with all of the spin-offs, behind-the-scenes extras and perhaps even that

Split Personality Rocket Bunny Nissan GT-R

As a color choice, we don’t generally see a lot of turquoise on tuner cars; it seems to be a hue favored more by bejeweled sun-loving grandmas with leathery skin rather than Japanese car fans. But the dazzling sheen on Jimmy Tu’s Chrome Turquoise 2015 Nissan GT-R is kind of mesmerizing and possibly the perfect

1986 Ford RS200 Evolution Test Drive: Arguably the Most-Interesting Performance Ford Ever

Chopped and Widebody-Converted Rocket Bunny 1991 Acura NSX

The interesting thing about cars like this 1991 Acura NSX is that, along with the folklore and general fandom that surrounds the chassis and helps drive their value through the roof, you’ll find far more heavily modified versions floating around currently as compared to days of past. With three decades now behind the original flagship,

Honda Performance Development Announces Civic Type R Crate Engine & ECU Package
