A few hours after I got back to Long Beach, from Pomona and the SO-CAL Speed Shop, I went out with Marc and Eric from Twins Turbo Motorsport to taste some fine local cuisine at their favourite Korean restaurant. The Twins are rather clever, politically minded people, and the conversation is always quite spirited and interesting... So unless you have some debating skills in your arsenal, it's perhaps best to keep the subject on cars! I couldn't help myself though, and got into a lengthy discussion...

MAGAZINES>> DRIFT TENGOKU

Filed under: 2JZGTE, AE86, Chaser, corolla, JDM, Magazines, Nissan, SR20DET, Supra, Toyota, VW

I was asked recently to pour over some JDM magazines and get a feel for them. I have to say, I love seeing the high level of tune on the JDM rides in the magazines. They have such a diverse scene over there. Truth be told, the majority of the drift scene appears to revolve around Nissan Silvia's and 1 & 2-JZ powered Toyotas, but there is also a fair bit of coverage to be had on the other players in the scene as well. Drift Tengoku as a magazine drops right into the mix as a more feature focused...

ARCHIVE>> XS ENGINEERING GS400 TURBO

Man, this car was sure fun to drive! To be completely up front with you, I don't have a ton of photos of this car - because most of the time I spent with it, I decided to drive it rather than document it. The car you're looking at is a JZS161 (in the USA, it's a Lexus GS300 or GS400, depending on which engine it has) - a fairly common car to see in Southern California. Especially in the area where I live, I see a ton of VIP "work in progress" JZS161s, and even **sigh** some...

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> HIRO SUMIDA'S IS350

Filed under: 2JZGTE, GReddy, Hasselgren, Hiro Sumida, IS350, Lexus, SPD Metalworks, V8

It's no secret that I love Lexus brand vehicles. So of course I was excited when I heard that Discount Tire Direct and Falken Tire would be working together to campaign a Lexus IS350 in the Formula Drift Series. When I first saw the mockups of the graphic scheme (it was shown to me by a Falken employee before the car had its graphics applied), I wasn't too thrilled to be honest. I dislike the arch looking graphic on the side of the car, it doesn't do any justice to the car's naturally...
