It’s that time of the year in Southern California, where the blistering heat and car meets align. This weekend took us to the Nemo’s Garage grand opening in Ontario, California. And as you will see they are new, but veterans of experience and knowledge in the automotive realm; big with the Honda platforms.
Thanks.

The annual Extreme Dimensions Car Show was a couple of weeks ago and the turn out was amazing. There were cars from all walks of life and they had some crazy events that were going on during the show, but we’ll get into that in a bit.
These two yellow FRS caught my eye from a far. 
Bugeye on Work XD9.
So much gloss in the paint.
Glad to be seeing more modified R32s in SoCal.
DNA Motoring’s S2000 for show.
A front end collision would suck for this Subaru. 
Wide body Mustang, so it could hit more people in crowds.
That color tho.
The Subie presence was strong at this meet.
Wow, 2nd generation IS with a 3rd gen front bumper molded on.
John’s R35 on Advan GT.
Evil looking Mustang.
Damn!! Satin black with gold accents on this S2000 looks amazing.
Low is an understatement.
From satin black to all the colors of the rainbow. 
Perfect photo opportunity for this skyline syndicate.
They were having a revving contest where the audience choose the winner. The one time revving your car at a meet was cool.
The “Fuck Likes” sticker on this clean GS.
Another 2nd gen IS with a 3rd gen bumper with excellent fitment.
Neck breaker.
Old school Mazda rolling out.
Bagged and boosted S2000.
Best LS right now in Orange County and it’s owned by Tommy from Infinite Werks.
God, I love seeing a immaculate Civic.
After a long day at the show, a musubi from Musubi Monster ended the day.
Try it, it’ll change your life.

It has been a long while since I have actually did video, and doing this video was like learning it again. Here we have Jimmy’s Honda Civic and Erik’s Honda EP3, which have nearly identical visual appearances and performance modifications. Both these cars are static (on coilovers), boosted, and on Volk Racing TE37s.
Take a look at this highlight of both fine tuned cars:
Thanks.

We continue our journey in Japan with us departing from Vinh and Rica and us heading to Sagamihara to stay with Ryo. He’s been living here for the past year working with Lexon Japan. He didn’t have time to take us around, so we decided to go out and explore his area.
We went to Machida and found this small ramen shop that sold meals for cheap! Spicy ramen that was only 580 yen.
Add a combo for only 200 yen!
Spotted a small stand that sold this strawberry and chocolate custard dessert. Pretty good!
Exploring a bit of Machida.
After exploring Machida, we went to Yokohoma station to meet up with Shavi’s friend, Kato.
Kato’s slammed Mazda 3. He took us to Yellow Hat, an autmotive chain service shop.
We came here to meet up with his homie, so we can head out to Daikoku parking area together.
Chaser on some 3 piece wheels in the parking garage of Yellow Hat
People working on their cars in the parking structure. 
This sick chaser came out of no where in the parking structure.
First car that caught my eye was this slammed VIP Cima from 502 Factory.
Daisuke’s Altezza. 
So jealous that GTRs are a common thing here in Japan.
GTR meet ups.
Bee Racing Aristo chilling in the parking area. 
S14 on classic Work Equips.
Always great to see a S15 in Japan.
Me and Abbitt went inside for some soft serve ice cream. Thanks Abbitt!
Van culture is huge here.
Big green machine.
Kanjo racing?
Vending machine heaven.
Shavi and fans.
Itasha style is huge here.
4 dour bangers.
My favorite car here was this R32. Jesus Christ it was so nice and it had stickers from all of the HKS Premium events it attended. 
I wonder if you know…
Crazy 350z from Freakin Works that was just welded together recently. Still has a lot more work to be done..
It started to pour and it was freezing, so it was time to head back home.
Thanks Kato for taking us around!

Just another weekend in Southern California, where you can find all kinds of automotive events going on. This time around we have Vankulture bringing some of the coolest modified vans together, and Air Runner Systems provided quality suspension and the venue for the meet up.

Thanks

Come meet and greet fellow automotive enthusiasts, enjoy some cars, and socialize. Be respectful to your surroundings and those around you. Be smart. Have fun.
Just another day in Sydney, Australia. Jacob with the white Mitsubishi Evolution VIII on RSV Forged RS10D picked me up with his buddy to take some quick pictures, and just hang out.
It sure did feel a bit weird seeing everyone driving on the right hand side, and drive on the opposite side of the road.
These RSV Forged RS10D made me miss my old TMBs. Gotta love a good looking true directional wheel.
Simple equals clean.
BCHPLS, rim to fender fitment.
After hanging out and shooting pictures, a nice Australian pig decided to pull over and cite Jacob’s Evo for basically everything. I have heard the stories and first hand accounts of the Australian automotive regulations, and it really is the worst. You really just gotta pay to play to enjoy being an automotive enthusiast anywhere in the world.
Hope you enjoyed the photos.
