For me what really makes cars of all vintages interesting is the details. Older vintages seem to have elements that pull me in, I can’t speak to why, but there’s something about certain awful plastic or even bakelite knobs, buttons, dials and gauges that is incredibly tactile… The details of these cars evoke so much [...]

Visiting Paragon Competition this past weekend netted a fairly interesting specimen! This Renault Laguna Touring Car was fascinating to see up close. Not much is left under the skin of the original Laguna. This car must’ve had the frame chopped out of it to run this low, entirely custom subframes and suspension would be defacto [...]

It’s pretty hard to walk around Tokyo without seeing some stunning JDM machinery, but a lot of it fits the same bill. I hate to admit it but even the R35 GTR’s became pretty boring after a while. Now a 370Z is rarer in Japan still, and a Nismo edition is even rarer. Now take [...]

When I found myself headed to the land of the rising sun my first thought was instantly “How can I score some camera time with the cars we just don’t get to see in North America?!” I reached out and made contact with the few people I knew in that part of the world, and [...]

A nice fat, wide set of tires have always been popular with the enthusiast crowd for obvious reasons. Even stretched tires have had their place in our hearts since the 60′s and 70′s (Countache and Stratos, anybody?). But the audacity to run these setups on a daily driven street car, let alone one engineered to [...]

I originally shot Allen’s EvoX along with Jeff’s, back here. Allen (and Jeff!) became friends of mine though and helped me out with stuff for my own car, and when your friends have cars like this you really don’t turn down a chance to take some new pics. Allen And I went downtown and found [...]

When hunting big game it’s best to bring along a big gun. Which is why I felt entirely unmatched when I arrived at Daikoku PA outside Tokyo for the annual R34/35 meet not long ago. I had foolishly only brought two small lenses with me, no tripod, and was clammoring to shoot every GT-R I [...]

Sometimes there’s a definite plan or mod-route in mind when a serious project car is undertaken. Sometimes, there isn’t a plan at all, and it’s the result of years of evolution and tweaking and fiddling. Stephen’s Honda falls into the latter category. Perhaps it’s the definition of this category… Stephen bought this car new back [...]
