Battle Of The Grey 86's





Soo...both of my friends have the same car but plan on going in different directions. My boy Quique has a 87 SR5 with a fresh dark nimbus grey paint job, it's auto and dropped on a set of stock wheels for the moment, he's going to keep it clean.






And then you have Charlie, mind you these guys are best friends from childhood and now it's almost like a partnership and competition to have two very fresh Corollas. Charlie has his own style, his own manual 87 SR5 he likes cars to be clean...but also slammed and on big wheels and he'll pay whatever price to reach perfection...check out the before pics, because the after will be out of this world!!!

New Daily Driver AE82 Corolla FX

Hey guys just snagged me a new daily driver, i'm really psyched and can't wait to get it registered. It was a long journey to bring it home but i'm happy, now i just need some 15's and coil overs, enjoy the pics.

Yes it's a Corolla FX, not some Civic Wagovan
Keeping my AE86 some company, she's looking sinister next to the FX
Sexy right?
Clean Interior!

Project Hellz Yea...What a pain...

For anyone putting a SR20DET in a S30 chassis, ahh just stay away. What a pain in the butt this has been trying to get things to work with limited tools, limited knowledge on old Datsuns, and a really long engine bay, this is where i'm at right now trying to get the motor in, i'm aiming for a second round KO!

RIP Bishnu Dinanauth aka Secondtonone317


This past sunday 7/10/11, a good friend of mine named Bishnu Dinanauth passed away. He was only 25 years old and was racing his S14 240SX on the highway against a fellow tuner and lost control of his car. This has been a huge wake up call to me for speeding and racing on the streets. If you tune your car to go faster or even enjoy the adrenaline rush of racing your car, please keep it on the track. I lost a great friend and from now on his parents, siblings, family, friends and the tuner community will suffer knowing that Bishnu, the nicest, realest, funniest, and most easy going person you can ever meet has gone to another world. I hate to have to think about him passing but i will do better smiling thinking of my boy helping me out whenever i needed it whether if it was a car related issue or personal, i'll remember him for all his funny jokes and stories and the rides we took to pick up his 240's, he was a Nissan head at heart but always had a place for any tuned car and showed a ton of respect. I would like to pass this website along which will keep his memory alive forever, God has one more angel in his kingdom and just like he never let us down here on earth, he will never let us down in heaven, Bishnu i miss you and may your soul rest in peace, look down on us and protect us...

Club Loose East Coast Bash Part 1

My first Club Loose event, these are the guys to watch. I admit that i'm not a fan of drifting too much because it's not timed, but it is the most fun you can have as a spectator or a competitor. Amatuer drifting is where it's at, 4's and 6's running like hell! These guys are real drivers.

Drifters get to work in style

And they carry their stuff however and stuff motors wherever they fit

Sexy green S14

Pure, sexy, rugged goodnessDamn...nothing else to say

Wanted to see this car run but it must've been taking a breather...till next time

Garage sale find!








Will in the house PR stand up!

Sweet SC300

American drifting
