I'm certain that any of you familiar with the World Rally Championship will recognise the name 'Kris Meeke'. Asides from being the 2009 Intercontinental Rally Champion, Meeke made his WRC debut last year behind the wheel of the new Mini JCW WRC and scored his first WRC points at Catalunya. Before his rally career went into overdrive, Meeke tried his hand at drifting at the opening round of the 2008 Prodrift Series. Behind the wheel of the WKD Imports RPS13, Meeke, who had never drifted...

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> R34 FRONTED STAGEA

Filed under: Nissan, Car Spotlight, Ireland, Stagea, Paddy McGrath, WKD Imports, Haulers & Sedans

The R34 GT-R front is probably one of the most iconic car faces of our generation. It's no wonder it's been grafted onto a host of varying makes and models but one of the best executions was always onto the Nissan Stagea. The conversion kit was carried out by Masa Motorsport using their own M-34R GT kit which is composed of bumper, wing, bonnet and lights. The Stagea is quite close to it's Skyline family member as it also utilises a similar 4WD system to the GT-R (although without the...

CAR FEATURE>> ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT CHASER

Filed under: Chaser, Toyota, Car Spotlight, Ireland, JZX100, Paddy McGrath, WKD Imports, Haulers & Sedans

We usually associate big horse power figures with stripped, caged and focused track cars. In a country where the Government is constantly increasing it's penalties against those who want to drive interesting cars (as opposed to wanting people to drive pointless hybrid cars with batteries that do more harm to the environment than good) this clean JZX100 throws two fingers up at the establishment before leaving them dusted in a fine layer of smoked Federal tires. Before I give myself a brain aneurysm...

CAR FEATURE>> ALAN SINNOTTS WKD IMPORTS SR-86

Filed under: Car Feature, AE86, Prodrift, Ireland, Paddy McGrath, WKD Imports, Mondello Park

When Rod asked the staff to come up with an '86 related feature for 86 Day, I admit I did have to spend some time considering what to shoot. Ireland has quite an illustrious past with the wee hachi-roku, most commonly refered to as a 'twin-cam' or 'cam' in these parts. My first plan was to roll back the years on some of the most famous '86s that have emerged from this small island. DMac's infamous Falken car and Eric O'Sullivans F20C Rockstar car would obviously be...
