    SEMA 2013

     I’m here with another late post for you guys. With the emerging increase of stance sites, car blogs and whatever; it’s hard to compete on getting  first coverage on to the internet. So. I end up just posting coverage whenever I feel like it. SEMA was not as exciting this year for me because all the cars I wanted to see were already on the internet a week before the show. I get over something really quick if I constantly see it on my social media news feed especially if I’m just spammed with it all day. Other than that I always enjoy going to a car show, seeing friends and getting inspiration for my own car builds.

    SEMA 001

    Liberty Walk kitted BMW. The flat black makes it looks so sinister.

    SEMA 006

    Really digging this blue on this Corvette.

    SEMA 012

    Not a fan of pink cars, but on this RWB it looks pretty cool.

    SEMA 005

    The Liberty Walk kitted GTR is my favorite car at SEMA. I would cut an arm off just to own this for a minute.

    SEMA 009

    I can’t wait to see these cars modded and on the streets. I would get the side skirt to fit better in the rear and take off that bike rack. That shit is so 2009.

    SEMA 019

    Buys GTR puts XXR’s on it.

    SEMA 014

    New 2013 Civic SI with a wing. Not bad.

    SEMA 023

    The star of the show at the Nitto booth was the Liberty Walk Ferrari 458.

    SEMA 024

    Being able to cut up a $230,000 car, that is what dreams are made of.

    SEMA 022

    Not for the faint of heart.

    SEMA 027

    Rocket Bunny inspired spoiler? I want something like this for my SC.

    SEMA 029

    Next to the Ferrari was a Rocket Bunny FRS with some fat ass Nitto tires.

    SEMA 030

    Rocking the new version 2 of the Rocket Bunny kit.

    SEMA 032

    ARK Genesis. I spy a Dynamic Vinyl sticker.

    SEMA 034

     Race car turned show car.

    SEMA 037

     Lexus had a challenge for deviant art to design some crazy shit and I guess this design won. The front looks pretty cool, but the rears are kind of outrageous.

    SEMA 038

    The matte black makes this Job Design kitted IS250 look cheap.

    SEMA 039

    The ugliest thing at this show…

    SEMA 040

    Rotiform Porsche.

    SEMA 046

    Courtney’s 325I on Rotiform TMB’s with a GT wing.

    SEMA 048

    Vinh and John learning how a transmission works.

    SEMA 049

    It gave me an idea on what was wrong with my clutch on the SC.

    SEMA 050

    A packed house even on the last day.

    SEMA 051

    That lowrider life style.

    SEMA 055

    Another photo bomb by Miguel..

    SEMA 058

    The 1000 horse powered Odyssey. I’m already impressed that it’s stick shift and it’s on bags.

    SEMA 060

    I bought a quick release from NRG. I couldn’t resist the black and gold.

    SEMA 061

    Race car VW.

    SEMA 062

    That’s a crazy front lip haha.

    SEMA 064

    Deflates tire for max low.

    SEMA 074

    The Ben Sopra GTR. I’m still in love with it.

    SEMA 066

    That paint is so immaculate..

    SEMA 067

    Getting some ideas for the SC.

    SEMA 068

    The school bus of my nightmares.

    SEMA 070

    The 3D plastic printer thing. It can copy anything and turn it into a plastic molding.

    SEMA 069

    An example and it’s pretty detailed and strong. I’m interested in what the possibilities on what they can do with this in the future.

    SEMA 072

    More widebody love from Air lift.

    SEMA 078

    Sick satin red Gram Lights.

    SEMA 081

    How did they even get this thing in here?

    SEMA 079

    This is so freaking boss..

    SEMA 094

    One of the premier VIP builds at the show was from the President of Job Design’s LS460. High attention to detail can only can be found by Japanese tuning.

    SEMA 098

    Elvis’s LS400 on the new step lipped Work VS-XX.

    SEMA 099

    This lady was really digging his wheels. You know what they say about females who wear white pants..

    SEMA 100

    A big attention grabber when he was leaving the show, seemed like he had paparazzi following him. #sofamous

    SEMA 102

    Robert’s internet famous FRS.

    SEMA 104

    SEMA 106

    Girl owned FRS? She was breaking a couple of necks on the way out.

    SEMA 117

    Damn that rear tuck on this FRS is pretty awesome.

    SEMA 118

    SEMA 129

    LEDs on a lifted trucks and a loud ass horn seemed to be the trend this year.

    SEMA 133

    Brian from Rotiform cruising out.

    SEMA 136

    SEMA 152

    You know nothing about this rear tuck.

    SEMA 153

    SEMA 156

    SEMA 162

    SEMA 166

    The only person who was scraping exiting the show.

    SEMA 170

    I wonder if you’ll still be there next year.

    SEMA 177

    That moment when you realize you’re staring at a million dollars.

    SEMA 174

    Big body Lexuses are my favorite..

    SEMA 175

    That’s it for my coverage of SEMA. Maybe next year I’ll go for the whole week instead of just Friday and get more detailed coverage, but it’ll probably take me another year to post it.

  • Fast Autoworks

    Fast Autoworks

     The last stop on this all-day car meet was Fast Autoworks, where they had a BBQ full of bomb Asian food. If there’s free food, you’ll know where I’ll be. We took a caravan of 10 cars to Fast Autoworks, so the street was filled with modified cars, just like the one scene in Fast and Furious where they had lunch at Dom’s house and the white guy gave thanks for turbos, etc.  Anyways, on to the photos…

    IMG_9342

    Pat’s IS-F. He lives near me but I only see him when I go to farass places.

    IMG_9340

    Alec’s S2000.

    Gautam and Mikey, playing chicken with Jerald.

    IMG_9311

    Street filled with modified cars.

    IMG_9310

    Awesome midnight purple S2000 on bronze TE-37’s.

    IMG_9301

    Fast Autoworks is in the business of building fast cars like these two Civics.

    IMG_9299

    Tracked out 8th Gen Civics are so cool.

    IMG_9297

    Mike Kim, from Motormavens, stopped by to kick it. If you spell his name backwards it’s Mike Kim again! Amazing.

    Swerve.

  • DSPORT Visit

    DSPORT Visit

    I was working on my manual swap for the SC400 when I couldn’t figure out how to set up my clutch pedals. There was so much shit under the dashboard that I made a big electrical mess. To get a better clue on what to do, I hit up the guru of SC300/400, my buddy Vinh Nguyen aka “Cute Vinh.” He was at work so it gave me a reason to visit the DSPORT facility and check out his car.

    WFC 024

    My poor girl, wish you had a better owner.

    WFC 059

    I arrived at DSPORT and immediately caught them doing cool shit to some fast cars. They’re always working on awesome performance stuff to educate people like me on how to get the best performance out of your car.

    WFC 061

    Michael Ferrara’s R33 Skyline on Enkei RPF1’s.

    WFC 064

    Spotted Jeren’s Rocket Bunny S14 enjoying a little rain in the back.

    WFC 050

    Looking mean with a KA-T to back up that aggressive look.

    WFC 054

    Wet.

    WFC 058

    What I came to see and came, when I saw it. Vinh’s S300 manual-swapped with a W58 transmission and sporting a 2JZ-GTE VVTI. He’s going to be upgrading to a single turbo with a R154 transmission. Must be freaking nice.

    WFC 056

    One of the coolest SC’s I know. Thanks Vinh for letting me check out the ride and giving me some pointers on my project. Check out dsportmag.com for some cool shit and SAS, “Sexy Asian Saturdays.”

  • Toys for Tots

    Toys for Tots

     The first thing I usually do when I wake up is check Instagram; it shows how addicted I am to social media. I saw that Brendan was washing his car for a charity car meet at K1 Speed. That made me kind of want to go but then I saw that the beautiful and holy Jeff Payuan was also washing his car, so I immediately got my ass out of bed to get ready. Good thing my car was already clean from going to the WFC meet the day before. I dropped by Walmart to get this cool Lego wannabe toy and was off to the show. This meet was a toy drive for Toys for Tots that Stay Classick hosted. We’re happy to be giving to the less fortunate and what better way than to do it than with cars.

     This is like the evil version of Keith’s Accord. Pretty cool-looking.

    Boosted and bagged?

    Hella flush.

    2 shades of white.

     Merry Christmas ya’ll.

    The reason why I came…multiple meanings…

    Not so camera shy, Phat.

    Haven’t seen this baby in a while.

     So many colors.

    Soda fast Supra mang.

     Iconic engine. The 2jz.

     Mr. Taft bringing an order of warm LRG SOUP for the cold weather.

    A Rocket Bunny FRS came out of nowhere to this little show…

    With his equally impressive Lotus friend on CCW Classics.

    Laugh Out Loud Good Game.

     Peeps were going ape shit over this and so was I.

     You never know what you’ll encounter when going to meets, even something as small as this charity meet.
