DeLorean

Stainless steel body panels. Gullwing doors. Leather interior. Rear engine, all aluminum V-6 is all nice and makes a DMC DeLorean different from most cars but that would not get this car on here...


...Could this be a hint.....


This would be what would get a DeLorean on here a 2JZ swap... Eat your heart out!







Radiator Overflow

Not sure how awesome this engine bay could get but it is JDM as fuck with such attention to detail. So off of the radiator we have the Greddy radiator auxiliary can which on its own is nice but what sets this car apart and makes it a man amongst boys is the Sapporo beer bottle used for any overflow from that sporting a set of T clamps to hold her in

An Attempt At A New Rusty?

As many of you may or may not know the death of an icon occurred recently. The P51 mustang styled BMW better know as "Rusty" fell apart after taking a speed bump and finally separating. That being said I have seen many cars popping up online with the distinct rust look and this is yet another one of them. This car however may be one of the most radical and Im not really sure about it but it is noteworthy.

This CRX Si is slammed with a pretty substantial cargo rack up top. Bike, cooler, car.... what else do you need in life (assuming the cooler is full)



Looking in the engine bay is where i feel like this car lost it but is certainly very eye catching. I for one would have loved to see a single color painted in the engine bay but i do like the valve cover.


To me the headliner detracts from this car. I would have loved to have seen a ripped up headliner, something plastered with colorful stickers, or even just a stripped headliner but not a kaleidescope it just detracts too much from what i consider to be a tasteful interior




All in all this car is probably one in a long line of cars that will be rolling around rusted out trying to fill the void left by "Rusty" but in my opinion there can only be one "Rusty"

HellaFlush 4

So I have been really busy working on my car to find all its electrical demons and work in general to pay off the cost of my Stage 2 transmission parts now if I could only find the time to post regularly again and install some suspension components I would be happy

Main Street Drifting

So after spending a day with the IMV boys in and around Gainesville its no wonder why the new video is taking so long to come out with. The cop count for the day was 3 but no tickets or arrests just a lot of harassment. After busting some sick Supra drifting on Main street we get a great visit from the cops, after that we left and did some STI and Yamaha R1 racing down I75 and some other back roads, and then follow that with the embarrassment to Team Accord and subsequent memorialization of the moment there is plenty of great footage for Sav to work with and some great stories to be told.... The hardest part will certainly be editing it all to fit in one video... Can you say box set!

Ariel Atom 3

Anyone who has ever asked me what my dream car is has always gotten the same response... The Ariel Atom... yes I know the car is manufactured in the UK but who could deny having a street legal track car powered by a Honda K20 engine that can go 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds...
