Wanna pimp your car?

David Allen — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:38:50 +0000

So you wanna pimp car, so what do you need? Well a good start has to be a car, this can be any make or model but obviously a runner is a good idea as that means you do not have to spend all your budget on getting the thing to start otherwise no matter what it looks like if don’t run then you are not going anywhere.

Now you have your ride there some main places to visit, the tyre and wheel shop, body shop and if at all necessary the engine shop. It is probably a good idea to check out prices beforehand after all there is no point in buying a car to pimp and only having a few hundred bucks over to finish the job, you are not going to half a decent wheel with that.

Deals is what you need now, the lowest price does not mean a rubbish job in many cases it seems that the glossier the shop the higher the price. But is the work any better, maybe it is maybe it’s not there are many factors here to deal with but at the end of the day it is your car and it can be pimped up at much or as little as you want, so don’t worry about anyone else says.

Richard Andrews Nissan 350Z

David Allen — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:37:12 +0000

I have to admit that out of all that cars that we write about and feature on this site the Nissan 350Z is my favourite. I know that there are those that do not think that this is a supercar, but you only have to look at the image to realise that this is a brilliant car and just happens to be bullet proof too.

This particular Nissan 350Z has had some extensive work done on it as you will be able to make out from the specs below but it still carries the shape of the original car and that is what matters to fans, who have not quite summoned up enough courage to go out and buy for themselves.

Whatever anyone thinks of the Nissan 350Z, they would have to take a second look at this car, and maybe if they close enough to it, take a little look inside to what is going on in there. At the end of the day some people say that this is just a Nissan, well that maybe so but I would take this one over a whole choice of other cars, so what would choose, the Nissan 350Z or ?

The great looking 1994 Nissan 240SX from Dennis Som

David Allen — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:54:36 +0000

Could this be the coolest Nissan 240SX in the country if not the world? If it isn’t then we would like to see the car that beats this wonderful machine from Dennis Som. As you plainly see the car is a convertible, but that is no ordinary hood on there because it is the Tsunami Silvia hood one of only two in the US made by DDrug.

Ordinarily the colour would not be top of the list for build, either as it is just too orange, but the longer that you at the car the better the body work looks. This is an orange machine that people like, if this colour was on a Neon or something similar the driver would be laughed at.

Naturally, this sort of job does not come cheap and it is fortunate that the owner has managed to get a nice amount of sponsors behind him, which is always going to help when you are planning to get a car to this sort of level.

Secret Weapon Intake (Nissan | 240SX | 91-94)

Product Description

The air filter can be totally taken apart and cleaned. The foam is denser and more thicker than the Dragon filter.

The velocity stank inside the air filter is a TRUE VELOCITY STACK. The Air filter has Ram Air capability, by hooking up the hose to the top of the air filter.

The intake has another Air Passage way inside the intake pipe to create a Air Fusion, imagine 2 different pathways of air inside the intake pipe, one air traveling in pathway #1 going 2 x faster than pathway #2. When the two different pathways of airflow meet at the end of the pipe they create a fusion effect which enhances the AIR SPEED of the by 3 times.

The Secret Weapon Intake Systems is an result of countless hours of testing and tuning of air intake velocity, Airmass and Airspeed for each vehicle application. The Result, an intake system that performs better than any Cold Air Intake, but with a Short Ram. It is possible by Weapon*R’s Patent Pending Speed Velocity theory, By creating a higher airspeed in the intake path you increase airmass and airspeed, which greatly increase horsepower.

This is possible by Creating two different paths of airflow, both flowing at different airspeeds, due to the tubing diameter in which the air is traveling. Now when the two different paths of air meet, they create a vacuum, which is where the airspeed starts to multiply, forcing more air into the engine at a higher rate, creating more horsepower.

The Secret Weapon Intake Systems are carefully CNC mendrel bent out of 6061 Aluminium, and then Hand Tig Welded in sections to ensure a constant balance in airflow, regulation in airspeed, positive seal and proper fittment. Each one of these intake systems are carefully tuned, by matching the engines displacement, air intake capacity and airspeed to the intake systems tube size,length and secondary pathway tubing diameters to maximize the full potential of the SECRET WEAPON INTAKE SYSTEM.

Is this a cool Scion or what?

David Allen — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 16:57:31 +0000

A collaboration is always going to produce something spectacular and this Scion XD is definitely some sort of super car that looks as if it has been factory made, but of course, we all know what a Scion XD looks like before the work has been done.

This car has been built by Team Koshak and All Star, this was originally designed for the SEMA 2008 show, the most prominent thing about the car is the roof, or rather the lack of one. This is something really makes a car stand from the rest and the way that this has been done is for impact, which they have achieved.

The colour green features heavily on this car and even as you inside there is a splash of Samari Green greets you in the centre console. This colour is themed all around the car with touches of carefully placed paint to highlight the colour throughout the entire project.

SPECS Exterior:

Chopped top – made the car into a speedster / convertible: Chopped off the roof, a-b-c pillar from around the doors, rear deck lid and wing, Re-enforced the body with a custom 6pt Unique Fabrication roll cage

Accessories: Authentic C-west CF Mirrors sanded down, prepped, & painted green to match the body, Varad Vision under car lighting, 2008 Toyota IST front and rear emblems from Japan painted black to match the cage, Custom handmade fibreglass cowl panel (shaved wiper blade holes and shooters) painted black to match the cage

Engine: Modifications: Nitrous Express direct port system (50 shot) (carbon fibre solenoids and hard lined wiring, and steel braided lines), Custom Id-Tuning intake system (powder coated black) with individual port nitrous oxide injectors, Custom polished Autogear fuel rail, Custom Magnaflow exhaust system, Custom cold air intake with K&N filter, Custom K&N breather filter (with custom mounting bracket, powder coated black)

Product Description

“Rvinyl window tint kits are made from high quality tint film manufactured by Llumar. Our film when properly installed will not fade, lose colour, turn purple, or bubble. Precut tints are a cost effective way for the do-it-yourself installer to save time and money by taking the guess work out of the window tint installation process. Rvinyl car window tint kits are precut specifically for the make, model and year listed in the product name using advanced software and the most updated window tint pattern databases in the industry. We use professional grade equipment in the manufacturing of your film kit, allowing for a precision and professional results in half the time it would take you to install film by the roll. Although installing precut kits is significantly easier and less time consuming than installing film by the roll, it can still be a difficult process. Although many sites claim their kits are easy to install, we recommend you review the installation procedures outlined to make sure our product meets your needs. Installation difficulty depends on the ability of the installer, the particular windows being tinted and the compound surface of the rear windshield as it will require heat shrinking for proper installation. Front and rear windows are generally relatively easy to tint as they rarely require heat shrinking.”

The cool silver Subaru WRX (2003)

David Allen — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 17:21:32 +0000

These Subaru’s are great little cars get the right one and you could be hitting 150 mph with problem at all, apart from the cops with speed guns but that is just an occupational hazard. Anyway, by all accounts this car from the images does look like anything has been done to it. Sure, there are the odd cosmetic touches here and there, but to the average man or woman in the street this is simply a Subaru WRX from 2003.

Yet under the hood there are a few surprises like the IHI VF39 Turbo, STi Top Mount Intercooler, DeatschWerks 565cc Injectors and Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump, it that does not get you going then I am afraid that nothing is likely to get you going. We like cars like this one, a wolf in sheep’s clothing is probably the most appropriate words that we could put to this car, do not be fooled by what you first see, this car means business.

APR Front Carbon Wind Splitter Subaru WRX STI 04-05

Product Description

APR Front Carbon Wind Splitter Subaru WRX/STI 04-05 A Wind Splitters is a protruding flat surface in the front of a car that is designed to decrease front end lift and exert downforce. By creating a high pressure area on top of the wind splitter, high pressure air flow is restricted to flow underneath a car. With low pressure below the car, the effect of lift is reduced and a driver can gain from the extra traction and control.

To combat the effects of front end lift, APR Front Wind Splitters are utilized to give extra traction and control in the front of a car. By creating a high pressure area on top of the wind splitter, high pressure air flow is restricted to flow underneath a car. With low pressure below the car, the effect of lift is reduced and a driver can gain from the extra traction and control.

Features:

- Carbon Fiber Reinforcement – All APR Front Wind Splitters are reinforced with sheets of carbon fiber.

- Fully Functional Undertray – Our Front Wind Splitters are not just add on cosmetic pieces. Every APR Front Wind Splitter completely covers the entire area below a cars front bumper. This allows for smoother air flow below the front bumper, creating more efficient downforce.

- Support Rods Included – Supporting every APR Front Wind Splitters are stainless steel Support Rods.

This product ships with a flat rate of $65-$75. Please call for shipping quote.

Totally cool looking Acura Integra

David Allen — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:22:27 +0000

To at this car you are going to think that there is a lot going on and to a certain extent that would be true, but this car without all of the paintwork, modifications and the cool looking wheels would just be another Honda used to get to work and back. This car is so much more than that and the vision that has brought this project into existence is pure genius.

It is the paint job that you first see, and there is nothing wrong with that, because initially the body looks messy with too much going on, it is only when we get focused that the colours come out and the images are there to be discovered. It may not look like it, but this Integra has had a huge amount of work done on it, just take a look at the specs to see how much.

Great looking G35 Coupe

David Allen — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:10:00 +0000

Before we start, I have to admit that this is one of my favourite cars, even before anything has been done to it this car is a super car that is totally awesome in almost every single way. In that case, this is a great car before it has been touched, but this one has been touched and therefore does that make it better? Of course it does no G35 fan would turn their back on a on a car like this.

The bodywork is great; in fact, it looks as if there has only been minimal amounts of work done on this car, such as a roof wing, side skirts and front bumper. One nice touch is the wing mirror covers, these have carbon fibre covers, but even better than that is the roof section, that has been made by hand from carbon fibre too.

This is car that almost looks like a prototype or even a concept car that you would see at a car show, but it is just the result of a well thought out plan, a lot of hard work and of course the one factor that ties all modified cars, a fair amount of cash!

A brilliant and bright Nissan Skyline

David Allen — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:00:54 +0000

This is car that crowds tend to flock around, the Nissan Skyline is at the top of its game before it even leaves the factory, but this is drifter’s machine that only a few years ago was a standard car that was until Tiffany got her hands on it, yes, this car is the result of a girl drifter. Nothing wrong with that is there?

She created this car from scratch, it is not a build that just looks good either, this has been designed to drift and although she does not compete in competitions, she is currently fine tuning her skills and will eventually get onto the drifting circuit, then this car will be noticed.

It is the colour is taken from a famous Japanese drifting car, but it is the Vertex bodywork that makes this car stand out, even more than the yellow colour. Under the body is car quite capable of producing just under four hundred HP. Now there is a lot that can be done with that sort of power.

This is finished project now, and Tiffany is enjoying her ride, hopefully seeing how extreme drifting can help a driver to be first past the post. Whatever she is doing, this is a good job with the Nissan Skyline proving that a good car can be made into a great car.

1993 Mazda RX-7 – F-The Purists

David Allen — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:16:10 +0000

The Mazda RX-7 from the early nineties is one of those cars that seemed to have come and gone, maybe it was the sign of the times or just that Mazda had fallen out of favour with its fans. So when one comes along like this example by Bruce Kress, not only does it bring back memories of the car got away, but it shows that at least someone had the vision to build this one into a fantastic looking machine.

This is almost a classic car yet it has the lines of modern build, especially inside where there has been a lot work done on it. Not all of the work will be to everyone’s taste in fact even the owner calls it “Osaka Style” which basically means you take a great looking car and then ruin it by adding too much. You see builds like that all of the time though, so there really is nothing wrong with going over the top, that is what import building is all about.

OBX Blue Spark Plug Wire Set 86-92 Mazda RX-7 1.3L ALL

Product Features

10.3mm heavy-duty quality construction 100% silicone double wrap

High strength fibreglass braid for added “pull strength”

Stainless steel plug terminals for high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance

Backed By Manufacturer Limited Lifetime Warranty

(Product shown for colour reference only)

Product Description

OBX High Performance Spark Plug Wires are the highest quality and thickest wires available in today’s market. Six individually wrapped 18 strand copper cores are wrapped with a stainless steel conductor to ensure greater ignition current conduction and longer spark duration. The core is covered with a special synthetic dielectric compound that prevents all electrical leakage and arcing of the current due to microscopic cracks when aging occurs. Extra heavy duty glass braid is woven around to withstand extreme wire stretch from pulling. All of this is coated with an outer sheeting of silicone double wrap measuring 10.3 mm in thickness to withstand extreme engine bay temperatures.

The Mitsubishi Galant by Broderick Jones

David Allen — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:02:42 +0000

This model Mitsubishi Galant is one of those cars that has a foot in a couple of camps, one being the family type car and the other being performance car. The trouble is it hard to distinguish between the two sometimes, is it a performance car or a family car? In fact, that is a question that has always been an issue with Galant owners, especially when it comes to insurance, as they seem to think that it is a performance car and therefore charge accordingly.

Yet this Galant is one of the best, the owner has gone out of his way to create one of the best in the country. Does it succeed, well that is a question that needs to be answered by those people who are experts in the field, but having said that this is a naturally aspirated Mitsubishi Galant, most owners would have gone for a turbo, but not here. Yet this car produces 225 whp, which is not bad for a 3.5 litre engine.

Will Fassett’s Hyundai Tiburon

David Allen — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:29:08 +0000

This is a brilliant looking car; in fact, it makes a change to show a car that has actually has very little down to the engine and yet had a whole lot of work done on what the car looks like. There has been a some extensive work done here and yet although you can see what has been done. This one certainly goes for the look rather than what is under the foot.

However, having said that, the underneath this Hyundai is plenty of power anyway so maybe Will is right here, he already has the car underneath him, so why work on that when you can make a beautiful looking car like this one. Even the colour is right with this car, some car look wrong with certain colours yet the custom three stage Lamborghini orange paint job is so right.

Hyundai Tiburon Specs:

Engine Modification – Unfortunately, the motor does not have much done to it except for an AEM intake system. A complete Power One exhaust system was installed to make her purr like a kitten

Suspension – air ride

Exterior – custom three stage Lamborghini orange paint job, 3-d taillights and projection headlights to compliment its thirteen-piece body kit. There is an orange under glow kit installed with orange LED’s in the door handle to

Accent the colour at night

Interior – the interior has some custom orange paint work to match the outside of the vehicle. Sitting in the dash is a Sony HDD deck that plays AM/FM radio, CD’s, Mp3’s, and records discs onto its memory card equipped with a built in equalizer. Three T.V.’s were installed into the car. One being 5 inches sits in the passenger visor. The two others are 7-inch monitors mounted into the headrests. For the T.V.’s there is a Pyle DVD player mounted to the back of the back seat. Currently residing in the trunk is two 12-inch RE sub woofers by USA, a RE 2000-watt 2 channel amplifier also by USA to push the sub woofers, and a Orion 600-watt 4 channel amplifier to run the highs and lows in the vehicle. In the doors there are 5?inch factory Infinity speakers, the back seat has 6 x 8 factory Infinity speakers and also a set of factory tweeters in the doors. A 2 ferret Mobile Spec compasitor was mounted in to hold extra power for the amplifiers.

The Evolution VIII by Mike Gross

David Allen — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:28:32 +0000

This is a brilliant car just to look at in an image, its lines and just the way it stands is enough to make any go weak at the knees. The deep black paintwork has the slightest hint of a red as do the tyres on the black wheels. In fact the bodywork give this car an air of mystery, we know that it has power under the hood, but how much?

According to the specs there has been plenty of work done on the car, in fact this car or rather the owner is currently looking for sponsorship. So if there is anyone or any firm out there that would like to see their company or product name on this car then why not get in touch with the owner Mike Gross.

The Evolution lends itself to being built into something special, it could be a standard family car otherwise, but you simply cannot image this car once being a taxi or a family run around. A car like this has to prove itself all of the time, of course there are those that ridicule the Evolution for reasons best known to themselves, what fools they must be.

OBX Red Overdrive Power Pulley Kit 03-05 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII 4G63

Product Features

Super Lightweight T-6061 T-6 Aircraft Grade Billet Aluminium

Computer CNC Machined For Precision Balance

Increased Horsepower And Torque Across Entire RPM Range

Dyno-tested And Proven On Race Track

High Quality Polished & Anodized Finishes

Product Description

Designed to replace OEM accessory pulleys, OBX Overdrive Power Pulley Kits are designed to be lighter than the stock pulleys. By reducing the rotational mass, the engine uses less power to power accessories such as the alternator and power steering pump, which translates into more available horsepower and torque. This well-known and highly utilized process is known as reducing parasitic drag from power-robbing accessories.

Depending on application, some of our pulleys have a larger diameter than stock. By utilizing the process of over-driving, the accessory is utilized more efficiently by doing more work on a single spin of the pulley.

OBX Overdrive Power Pulley Kits are a great upgrade for any driver to realize the full potential of his or her prized vehicle.

This Subaru is all white!

David Allen — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:05:10 +0000

White cars are often frowned upon as being basic and with no thought going into them, but this one you have to admit is a super colour even though technically it is not a colour at all. It is funny that this colour actually goes in with the Japanese theme; you see so many pastel shades in anime etc that a white car is actually cool, especially as there are few touches of colour highlight the designing eye.

This is a car from 2002 and has a bit of history behind in the World One Performance. Since then there has been a lot of changes to the car, on the outside it still has that classic bodywork, this has been highlighted with the addition of real race tyres and wheels, even though the rubber may have been a little worse for wear.

The New World Samurai Integra Type R

David Allen — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:40:46 +0000

When Honda introduced us to the Integra, it was an exciting time for many people, although there were those who believed that this car was just a Honda going under a different name, how wrong they were. Suddenly the Integra is hot property mainly because they are rare and an unknown quantity, but in this business news travels fast and soon the Integra was a desirable car.

As it stands, the car is a brilliant piece of machinery that can turn heads almost everywhere it goes. Yet when someone like Armando Nanalig gets their hands on it, the car takes on a different style, it becomes a performance car that can hold its own anywhere, sure there are people who still think that the car is Honda in different clothing. However, what the hell if a Honda can deliver performance like this car then good on them.

The wide body Scion xB of Mobil 1

David Allen — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:25:53 +0000

There is no doubt that these cars are a cross between a van and a car, in fact if the rear windows were painted over it would look like completely like a van, a red hot van but a van never the less. However, because these cars have an odd shape that is why they lend themselves to being built up and made into something very special indeed. In fact, any car that is producing around 600 whp is not to be looked at with anything other than respect.

A car like this is bound to attract a lot of attention, which is probably one of the reasons why the company picked in the first place. That is because something odd and strange looking is bound to get a lot of press and fan attention at the shows and it does that, with is wide body that makes it look less boxy but closer to the ground, this Scion xB is something special even though it may look a little strange from some angles.

SPECS – Mobil 1 Scion xB Specs:

Scion Xb 2004-2004 MB5 Chrome Wheels Rims and Tires

Product Description Tire: Nankang NS II 215/35R18 84W

General: The MB5 â Warrior From The Dark Ages. Unlike its spoked brethren, the MB5 is not a rim with a spoke design but a semi full-faced wheel. This Rim is designed in a way that makes it look like a shield that the warriors of the dark ages used in the ancient times of barbaric wars and competitions. This rim comes in a dark tanned finish and is machined polished to a perfect black tan. The lighter version of the rim is more inclined to a silver finish and goes well with the tire of the car. The black version matched the tire and the silver version contrasts with the black tire. Towards the outer ends of the wheel, where the broad spokes meet the rim, the design forms a seemingly three-sided half ellipse that is carved into the face of the rim. The centre of the rim is held fast to the rim with eight Allen nuts and covers the central coupling of the wheel entirely. This cover fits flush with the rest of the rim leaving no need for a hubcap that older car rims require to hide the ugly cast iron wheel and huge coupling bolts. Though the face of the wheel is black, the ring that forms the outer circle of the wheel and holds the tire in place is silver giving the wheel and the vehicle a very classy look. When purchasing Wheels and Tires Package, Package includes: style=”margin-top: 5px ;”> Balancing and Mounting Lug Nuts Hub Rings 4 Centre Caps

Smart looking Nissan 350Z

David Allen — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:03:11 +0000

You have to suppose that building an import car up is a lot like a work of art, you spend hours working on it, perfecting the slightest blemish or fault. Then it gets to that time when you have to decide to show it off. This may be a meeting, magazine or website, but you know that those die hard fans are going to moan about this and that, so that you feel that all you work has been wasted.

But that is not necessarily so, the idea of showing your masterpiece off maybe slightly worrying, but you have to think that many of the critics would not know one end of a socket from another. As with all art, the critics are not necessarily artists themselves. These days those people who build cars, encourage other owners to do the same, they offer advice, and they may not, but it the building that makes all of the difference.

Infiniti G35 ready to go

David Allen — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:03:20 +0000

It is not that often that you find a build waiting to happen, but this looks like one, it’s not had much done to it apart from some modifications to the engine department. Naturally, this does not mean that the owner actually wants physical help he is probably quite capable of doing that himself.

What this one requires is some sponsorship, of course, that is the dream of a lot of car owners out there, but you have to admit it that this is a car worthy of some work. The main thing about this car is that it is a blank canvas and the owner needs the sponsorship in order to sort out the bodywork and a get a decent paint job done, not a major job is it (Joking) but it is worth doing.

Engine Modification – APS Single Turbo, Tial 38MM ext wastegate, Motordyne 5/16 Isothermal Plenum Spacer, Fujitsubo Exhaust, GTM Oil Cooler, GTM Dyno & Tune.

Engine Management – HKS F-CON V PRO, HKS Knock AMP, Blitz Throttle Controller, Greddy E-01 Boost controller.

Drivetrain Modification – Exedy Stage 1 Clutch

Suspension – Tanabe Sustec PRO 5 coilovers, Tanabe TEAS controller

Wheels, Tires, Brakes – Grams Light 57 max 18×8.5F 18×9.5R, Endless CC-A pads, SS brake lines.

Exterior Modification – GT-R style Front bumper, K-Style Rear bumper, Wonderous Side skirts.

Interior Modification – none

I.C.E. – JL W3 12” SW

Sponsors – None (looking for some to help out with body work and painting…)

Numbers (WHP, 0 to 60 mph and etc.) – 362 WHP/ 361 Torque @ 7lbs of boost. 385 WHP/ 383 Torque @ 9lbs of boost.

Others – Looking to build the bottom end and get a bigger turbo put on.

WeatherTech 441562 FloorLiner

Product Features

Accurately/Completely Lines The Interior Carpet

High-Density Tri-Extended Material

Rigid Core Strength, Offers Surface Friction

Advanced Surfacing Minimizes Fluid Movement

Fluids Easily Removed Once They Are Trapped

Product Description

In the quest for the most advanced concept in floor protection, the talented designers and engineers at MacNeilAutomotive have worked tirelessly to develop the most advanced DigitalFitTM floor protection available today! The WeatherTechFloorLiner¿ accurately and completely lines the interior carpet giving “absolute interior protection¿”! Digital laser measurements of interior surfaces offer a consistently perfect fit! A patent pending High-Density Tri-Extruded (HDTE) material allows for a rigid core for strength while offering surface friction to the carpet, as well as tactile feel to the surface! Advanced surfacing creates channels that carry fluids and debris to a lower reservoir with further channeling to help minimize fluid movement while driving! Once fluids become trapped in the reservoir, away from shoes and clothing, they are easily removed from the WeatherTechFloorLiner¿ over the door sill…no muss-no fuss! Rear FloorLiners¿ incorporate many of the same design features as the front FloorLiners¿. Rear FloorLiners¿ (where offered) are manufactured from a proprietary custom blended TPO (thermopolyolefin) that is not only wear resistant, but also remains flexible under temperature extremes. FloorLiners were designed for vehicles with factory carpet installed when manufactured. They will not fit vehicles with vinyl floors unless otherwise specified. Please take your old floor mats out before installing your new WeatherTech floor mats. Please note that the on-screen colour representations are not necessarily precise representations of actual product colours due to variance in monitor calibrations.

The Lexus GS (Carbon GS)

David Allen — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:54:41 +0000

Executive cars do not normally make for a great build; they are built for comfort, and have far too many gadgets and features to even be thought of as a something like custom build. Then eventually something happens that turns our world upside down and this is one of those cars, you only have to look at it to see that this car means business.

It may be black, which may not be the best of colours for a build but it is pure and dark, in fact is as dark as it could possibly be. However, at the same time it is cool, you can still see that it is Lexus and there has not been too work done to the bodywork, leaving the car with its original styling.

This is one of those cars that you could make if you had an unlimited budget and access to all of the car parts that your heart desired, but as a lot of us are not in that position, we simply have to look and marvel at this work of art. Maybe one day a few more of use will be in the position to make a car such as this.

The Boise Auctioneers 2006 Scion XB

David Allen — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:28:26 +0000

These are strange looking vehicles, but on the face of it are very interesting and designed to be modified to the extreme, as this one has been. Yet despite all of the work that gone into this machine, the basic style and shape remains but there is no doubt what this car is.

This is a project that has been built for the look rather than speed, after all you simply couldn’t imagine this car ripping it up down the track, unless it was in the special Scion drag race over a quarter of mile, if we wait that long of course!

They may be strange looking, but the way that the car has been coloured is sheer brilliance. Green is considered unlucky for some people, but green really works with this. Whether the colour goes with the shape or just that, the colour is so nice. It sets the whole car off and obviously makes the car stand out from the crowd.

Acura Integra LS by Kai Lung

David Allen — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:17:34 +0000

You don’t many of these around in this condition, but then again a lot of thought and work has gone into this machine, it may a 1994 model, but that really does not make any difference at all, when the car looks as good as this one does.

It is the hood that makes all of the difference with this car, being able to see the engine working while it is moving is something else. The thing about these cars is that so long as they are prepared properly the rest will follow.

This Acura need nothing more doing to it, in fact once a car like this has been completed age make no difference it is a timeless design that will never go out of fashion. It has lines that cars of today will never have.

The owner Kai Lung has a good sense of what he wants from this car, looking good is all that matters. That is a great idea and a perfect way of being involved with import building. Some people go for performance, but that means spending too much time and money on the moving parts.

Nissan Silvia S15 owned by Jennifer Jar

David Allen — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:15:39 +0000

She is a brave woman, Jennifer Jar, not for creating a beautiful looking machine like this 2000 Nissan Silvia S15, but quite simply how she acquired it. Walking around the warehouse district in Miami with $19,000 in cash is one thing and the buying this car off some shady character is another? However, looking at the car you can tell that she is a lady that knows what she is doing, which is more than what some men can.

It was not that she was buying a car that was good to go; in fact, by all accounts the car needed a work doing in just about every single area. Therefore, this means that eBay and just about every corner of the internet was searched and searched again, until she has everything that she needed to make the car that we can see now.

Its impressive how the car has developed, this was task that a team would normally attempt and in some cases fail or just give up. Clearly, this has not happened in this case and so the car has been almost rebuilt from a wasted machine that sat in garage for years and was covered in everything that could imagine. This is a real car now, back on the road and looking better than it probably did when the first owner took delivery of it.

The cars body has founds it way into other models, like the Neon from Chrysler, yet it is the Dodge that comes out on top, especially when it has had the amount of work on it, like this one has had. Sometimes having panels blacked out makes a car look a bit dull, but even that has come out all right.

ICE Nissan Skyline R34 Sedan

David Allen — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:02:38 +0000

There is nothing like a great looking car that comes from the around a decade ago, sure in many cases there are cars that around ten years old that simply don’t make the cut, in some are pretty worthless, while on the hand there is the cars that come along like this one.

It is a 1998 Nissan Skyline R34 Sedan and it is on it third life, but given that it does not look too bad on that either. It looks brilliant with a ten piece body kit from URAS, widening the front by around 20 mm, while at the rear it is huge 40 mm wider than before, that is so it accommodates the eleven inch rear wheels.

Under the hood there is the Nissan RB26DET 2.6 litre turbo charged power unit, this has been rebuilt and at the same time painted, the fuel injectors are 1000 cc as this is the only way to feed to the GT42R Garrett turbo.

The Integra DC2 in a strange green colour

David Allen — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:51:08 +0000

Sure, this colour is a shade gone too far, but actually, it is quite nice once you get used to it. This is the thing about builders, they have the foresight to see that this colour would go and at the same time look cool with it. Whereas most of us would have thought, that green was the primer coat and the car is still waiting for its final coat of high gloss.

There has been a lot of under the body too, believe it or not, with an original engine and a JDM ITR 4 to 1 header connecting to the Comptech exhaust makes for essential building these days and is enough to beef up the HP. However, to get a decent spark NGK plug leads are the required element and now the car is ready roll.

Taking about rolling the car has been fitted with a set of Ray Engineering Gram lIghts in gold, which happens to blend perfectly with the camo green shade of paint. Finally, it is Falken Azenis 215/45/16 rubber that is wrapped around those golden wheels that are held on with Muteki lugs.

A sunny Nissan 240SX

David Allen — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:32:51 +0000

Even though this car dates back to 1989 it does not look dated at all, if fact there are some car manufacturers who would mind it leaving their factory floor right now. The 240SX by Nissan is clearly a classic sports coupe and that is before it has been rebuilt to these very high standards.

Sometimes you have to think that that these cars are hybrids using parts from other cars, but there is nothing new about that, even some of the manufacturers of some cars use the parts from other makes.

The main thing about this car is the engine swap, no longer does it carry the standard power plant, and this has a punchy straight six three litre Toyota 2JZ GTE engine. Now this is something that you do not associate the 240SX, but what that does mean is that this car is capable of generating well over 600 hp and that has to be taken seriously.

MimoUSA Headers (Nissan | 240SX | 89-90)

Product Description

Your factory exhaust manifold also known as “headers” is designed only in part for efficiency and power. As a result, maximum exhaust flow (power) is not achieved using factory headers, regardless of other performance exhaust modifications. To maximize flow and power, a better design is required.

Maximize Flow to Maximize Power

MimoUSA headers increase flow and power by using larger diameter tubing and an equal length design, meaning all pipes leading to the collectors are the same length. This design means that as each cylinder fires, the exhaust gas pulse released arrives at the collector following the previous pulse in perfect synchronization, creating a perfect, uninterrupted exhaust gas flow. This smooth flow means MORE flow and more power.

Dyno tested and proven

Direct bolt-on without modification

T-304 stainless steel mandrel bend for ultra fast flow

CNC machine flanges with TIG and MIG welded construction

Utilizes factory 02 sensor position

Specifications:

Flange is 3/8 thick

Bolts from the block to the motor

Primary tubes are 1 1/8

Diameter of end tube (bolts to CAT converter) 2 on older cars

Engine: KA24

Tri-Y Design

TC SPORTLINE 89-94 NISSAN 240SX S13 4 LUG TO 5 LUG WHEEL HUB ADAPTERs

Product Features

ONE FULL CONVERSION KIT (2 FRONT & 2 REAR)

CONVERT FROM 4 LUG HUB INTO 5 LUG BOLT PATTERN

Product Description

Four Lug bolt pattern wheel hubs are usually for front wheel drive vehicles, therefore, many high end wheel companies only make stagger offset wheels in 5 lug bolt patterns. For 89-94 Nissan 240SX owners, in order to fit some of the wheels they have to buy special adapter-type spacers or locate some JDM conversion parts in order to change their bolt pattern to the 5 lug spec. Using spacer adapters will take away fender clearance so people will be forced to use smaller wheels than they desired. Used JDM parts that could cost a whole lot more and the condition of the parts might not be ideal. TC Sportline has developed a five lug hub assembly conversion kit that will allow S13 owners to convert their entire hub assembly from four lug to 5-lug bolt pattern. The conversion process is made much easier with the TCS hub kit and no major modifications are needed. The front hub assemblies also included high grade bearings for easy installation. The stock brake callipers can be retained after the conversion and because it is not the cheap spacer type conversion kit, S13 owners could use the biggest and widest wheels possible. It is also a safer option when building race/drift cars. This will enable 240SX owners to fit more variety of wheels in the desired offsets onto their vehicles. After the conversion, stock brake callipers can be retained or they could upgrade to a bigger brake kit. The kit comes with all four hub assemblies for the front and rear axles. Specially designed hubs will also allow you to switch back to the 4-lug pattern by simply remove and reconfigure the wheel studs.

The Honda Civic DX project

David Allen — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:15:21 +0000

With so many Honda Civics on the road it is little wonder that there are not more of these builds turning up in front of us. It seems that the Civic is designed to be tuned up and surprisingly no matter how much time or money is spent is on these cars, they are still used on a daily basis by the owners.

Of course there are those people who feel that all of this money and time spent on the build is a waste as the owner could simple go out with all of that cash and buy a new hi-spec car. Well yes, they probably could do that and yet they do not. That is because building a project means more than just adding a few bits and pieces, these cars cease to be Honda’s or Toyotas, they become a new car one that have been built to order, just as they used to be.

A Serious Scion from 2004

David Allen — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:15:22 +0000

The Scion is Toyota’s attempt at attacking the younger car owner in the US, which to all intents and purposes they have done with flair and design. The idea of the car is a sound one, but you bet your life that the people behind the Scion has no idea that people like Bruce Barrett would even think that he would be getting his hands on one these fun cars.

However, that he has and this is the result, a beautiful looking machine that looks like something that Toyota would not even think was possible. Yet here these cars are, on the outside there are only a few little cosmetic touches, but underneath that square shaped body, there is a sleeping dragon waiting to get out.

Scion Xb 2004-2004 MB5 Chrome Wheels Rims and Tires

Product Description

Tire: Nankang NS II 215/35R18 84W

General: The MB5 â Warrior From The Dark Ages

Unlike its spoked brethren, the MB5 is not a rim with a spoke design but a semi full-faced wheel. This Rim is designed in a way that makes it look like a shield that the warriors of the dark ages used in the ancient times of barbaric wars and competitions. This rim comes in a dark tanned finish and is machined polished to a perfect black tan. The lighter version of the rim is more inclined to a silver finish and goes well with the tire of the car. The black version matched the tire and the silver version contrasts with the black tire. Towards the outer ends of the wheel, where the broad spokes meet the rim, the design forms a seemingly three-sided half ellipse that is carved into the face of the rim. The center of the rim is held fast to the rim with eight Allen nuts and covers the central coupling of the wheel entirely. This cover fits flush with the rest of the rim leaving no need for a hubcap that older car rims require to hide the ugly cast iron wheel and huge coupling bolts. Though the face of the wheel is black, the ring that forms the outer circle of the wheel and holds the tire in place is silver giving the wheel and the vehicle a very classy look. When purchasing Wheels and Tires Package, Package includes: style=”margin-top:5px;”> Balancing and Mounting Lug Nuts Hub Rings 4 Center Caps

A 2002 R34 GTR aka The Dark Prince

David Allen — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:59:58 +0000

There is something about the Skyline that strikes fear into the heart of many racers; this is simply because of the reputation that precedes it. Stories of it being a monster of a car that takes on almost everything on the road and beats it.

But the Skyline has a pedigree, not only does it have the technology and power to match, this is car that was developed at the world famous Nurburgring racetrack in Germany, this where the famous NUR model came of age with only 750 being made, there is a distinct possibility that there are only a couple in the US.

Whether this is one of those couple or an import is not known and in fact nobody is going to let on either, what we do know it that this car is a superb example of this machine and being finished in black just adds even more mystery to the whole story.

Specs of the Dark Prince:

Exterior: NISMO front bumper, NISMO side skirts, NISMO rear skirts, NISMO rear, carbon fibre diffuser, NISMO clear front and side markers, NISMO front diffuser, chrome brackets, HID headlights

Wheels: 19×10″ Volk Racing wheels with Yokahama S-03, Rotora 8-piston front callipers with 405mm slotted & drilled rotors, Rotora 4-piston rear callipers with 355mm slotted & drilled rotors

Suspension: Tein fully adj coilovers, GReddy front strut tower bar

Engine/Drive train: Tomei fully built motor including:, balanced and blueprinted rotating, assembly, forged pistons, rods, Poncams 256/260 camshafts, springs and retainers, oil pump, oil pan baffles, ARC oil catch can, ARC titanium air rad guide panel, ARMS built turbos, Veilside downpipe, APEXI titanium cat-back, race-pipe, APEXI twin intake filters, APEXI Power FC standalone ecu with hand held commander, Blitz boost controller, NISMO twin discs clutch

The Nissan 350Z in pure black

David Allen — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:51:17 +0000

From the outside this car looks like any other Nissan 350Z, so that means that this is uber cool and does not need anything done to it.

We would wrong in that case, because although from the outside the car does look as if it has just pulled out of the showroom, it looks that good, but Robert O’Brien has other ideas about it and swiftly set about making some subtle changes.

Most of the work has been done underneath the bodywork, leaving the gleaming black paintwork to speak for itself. That is the great thing about the Nissan 350Z, its great car as it is, so with the know how and some extra cash the Nissan 350Z can be made into something very special indeed.

Brembo 1B1.8032A-Red 350 GT 4 Piston Big Brake Kits

Product Description

Built for the (03 and up) Nissan 350Z… Brembo Gran Turismo Systems are excellent for stopping power in everyday traffic, as well as superior high performance street and track driving. They are designed to bolt onto the vehicles original suspension, and are fully compatible with the vehicles stock brake master cylinder and anti-lock braking system (ABS).While most Brembo Gran Turismo Brake System packages have been developed specifically to replace the vehicle s front brakes (due to the high braking demands encountered there), rear brake systems are also offered for selected applications. For vehicles not offering a Gran Turismo System for the rear axle, Brembo Sport brake rotors (slotted or drilled) are available to replace the stock rotors on the rear axle and provide a matched appearance on all four corners of the vehicle. Gran Turismo Brake Systems packages combine high performance fixed aluminium brake calipers, large diameter 1- or 2-piece vented brake rotors, brake pads, stainless steel braided brake lines and aircraft quality mounting brackets and hardware. (See photo and chart below.) Brake caliper and rotor sizes are selected based on the vehicle s requirements. In most cases, the aluminium calipers are available in red, sliver or black finishes. Additionally, the rotors feature drilled or slotted disc surfaces depending on the vehicle application and brake system selected. All cross-drilled holes are bi-angle chamfered at the rotor s outer surfaces to help reduce the cracking caused by repeated, high stress, high temperature brake applications. Gran Turismo brake discs are coated for corrosion resistance to help eliminate rust and to offer a bold, aggressive appearance to enhance the look of the vehicle s road wheels.1-Piece Drilled/Vented Rotors 2-Piece Drilled/Vented Rotors 2-Piece Slotted/Vented RotorsNotes1 – Requires minor modification to the OEM steering knuckle.2 – Requires minor modification to the OEM steering knuckle and use of included custom hub

This is a cool cool car

David Allen — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:33:51 +0000

Bodily this car appears to have little done to it, but as we found in the past these cars that look as if they have only recently been driven off of the production line, whereas in reality the car may look like a standard road going model, but it a completely different machine all together.

The great thing about a car like this is that it will give the rest of us ambition as one day could have the opportunity to build a car that looks and drives as good as this. However, it is going to take a lot more than ambition to create a machine that can even close to this car.

The question that we have to ask here, is this a racing car, show car or just an everyday road car, it is hard to tell these days with so many cars making an appearance. All we can say is that you should not expect to see this car in the supermarket car park.

Product Details: Weight aside, the more the better. Chassis bracing maintains alignment angles and spring rates by greatly reducing body or chassis flex. In fact, it helps every component in the suspension system do its job properly. Race cars have elaborate roll cages not just to protect the occupant, a good proportion of its job is to stiffen the chassis. Critical for serious performance and essential for any car with up rated springs, shocks or sway bars. You’ll even feel the difference in a standard car. Depending on the location, expect improved turn-in, sharper steering response along with greater feedback. There are many different types, the most common being strut tower braces. The range also includes lower control arm braces, extra heavy-duty sway bar mounts and rear sub frame lock kits.

Strut bracing maintains alignment angles and spring rates by greatly reducing body flex. Critical for serious performance.

Adjustable Rear Control Arms: The broadest range on the market with models to suit sedan and wagon reflecting the different rear tracks. Avoids excessive rear sway bar link pre-load and failure found with other brands while using stronger than OE link mounts. This is another cause of excessive flex and premature failure with some other brands.

Nissan 200SX SR20DET S14 15 (1994 2003)

Direct Bolt On

The standard turbocharger on the 200SX (like the Skyline turbos) is prone to low rpm compressor surge. By replacing the factory BOV with a GFB unit, this tendency can be reduced, although compressor surge can still occur. However, as long as it only occurs at low rpm and boost levels then it isn’t likely to cause turbo damage

Ray Santos 1971 Toyota Celica

David Allen — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:50:31 +0000

You simply do not see many of these on the road, let alone in the condition that this one is in. 1971 that seems like an age away, just image what that car has been through and what changes have occurred around it over those long years.

In technology terms cars have come a long way in both design and in the way that they are manufactured, yet at the time, this Toyota Celica had a style that is cool and modern, despite being thirty eight years old its lines could have been drawn on a car design a few years ago.

This type car is going to be challenge, first is the lack of parts and second there are so many over the forty or so years that this car has been around millions of people have a connection with it, they may have owned one or maybe their parents owned one. Whatever the reason this car has history that goes back over the generations and the owner of this car is going to have to put up with being stopped and told about it, but isn’t that what owning these cars is all about?

Honda Civic 2007 by Michael Rochman

David Allen — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:52:07 +0000

The late Honda Civic is a superb machine with performance and a great design with lines that show that this car means business, but that is even before someone like Michael Rochman gets their hands on it.

Now the car is a fantastic looking machine and that is without the performance of car, sometimes builders go for one or the other, it is either speed or looks and that is fine if that what the owner wants to do, but with this Civic you get both speed and performance.

The looks are sometimes the main factor, because there are many Honda Civics around even the same year and model. So it is looks that is going to make all of the difference when the cars are out in the street, but when it comes to being the best there are plenty of experts out there who are only too quick to judge where things have gone wrong.

The 2009 Lexus IS by Brian Fox

David Allen — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:07:54 +0000

First of all the question is who takes out a new luxury car and strips it down, only to rebuild it? Normally the average person in the street would be pulling their hair out and shouting “Why!” But looking at the finished product it is clear to see that any worries about what the owner Brian Fox was thinking about should completely evaporate along with any idea that import builders has no idea what they are doing.

The great thing about building a new car is that the bodywork can stay as it is, with the addition of the odd flaring of the wheel arches, a bit of side skirt and of course, a boot spoiler the rest is just going to be whatever paint job is required. The BASF Glasurit paint in Sunset Orange Pearl looks just fantastic. Could this car be one of the best Lexus IS around? Well it has to be up there with the best, the way to tell in reality is to hold a mass photo shoot of all of the cars and get the site visitors to check them out and vote!

The Top Speed Subaru Impreza

David Allen — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:26:10 +0000

Looking at the style of cars that lurk around, there are plenty that are smooth and an equal amount that are simply cool. But the Subaru Impreza by Top Speed does not fall into those categories because this is one is not cool or smooth it is simply just aggressive its lines and curves are all designed to allow this car to cut through the air with ease.

Yet if we think of this as being an aggressive car then perhaps we are doing it an injustice, sure it has power and is able to force its way to fast times, as it should with almost six hundred horse power to play with you would expect it to be fast.

Put all of this together aggressive, fast, powerful and with a shapely body, this mix together makes this a piece of artwork, it is strange to talk of a car as being an piece of art, but what else could it be? It has taken a long time to prepare, skilled technicians have worked on it and the finished object is just a masterpiece, which makes is art doesn’t it?

Cool looking Scion XA

David Allen — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:42:55 +0000

Cool looking Scion XA

Sometimes you see a car that simply takes your breath away and this Scion XA is one of those cars. When it comes to building and imported car it is easier to take a sports saloon or coupe and make it better, but the Scion is a different thing all together, this is not the sort of car that you would associate with creating a something special.

But that is what all of this is about, taking something that is ordinary and making it extra ordinary by rebuilding it into what we see here.

Even the colour choice of the Scion is special and suits this car, whereas on another model it may not look as good, in fact the colour scheme would not go as nicely on sleek looking machine. The point is that building a car takes much more than workshop skills, it takes vision and it is clear that there is a lot of vision that has gone into making this car a special car.

Honda Civic, is it cool!

David Allen — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 15:43:05 +0000

In some circles, driving around in a Honda Civic is nothing to be proud of, even the car is a great machine and for anyone who has driven one they would know that it is a really decent car. However, like many things in life, there is a sort of stigma about the Civic and this reflects on the drivers too.

But one way to beat off the ridicule of owner the Honda Civic is to have not only the best one of its kind around, but to have a car like the Civic but what can run rings around all the other cars that or in your import builder circle, then the Honda Civic is no laughing matter.

This particular car is owned by Duy Dang and it is a 1997 model, it has everything going against it, until you clap eyes on it then you have to sit back and think OMG, it’s a Civic, but not as we know it.

The Civic owned by Duy produces 190 hp, that may not seem a lot in the scheme of things, but this is a small car and as such, 190 hp is some power to play with. However, even though this has the power, from the outside its looks have not been dramatically altered, it is the wheels that sets it apart.

Nissan 350Z two for one

David Allen — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:29:13 +0000

They call these two beauties “Fire and Ice” you have to suppose that it is down to them being opposites, which they are not; this tag team are made up of a 2003 and 2005 Nissan 350Z the red and the blue.

But these are not just your average 350Z’s these are a couple good examples of how an already cool sports car can be turned into a super cool sports car that have been given the GT-RS treatment with kits offered from HKS. Is that an offer that you simply cannot refuse or what?

However, what this is about is how you can build you are into something special, with the help from some friends in the trade, that means getting your name and your project out there. That may be sound hard but you are already looking at an import tuner and builder website, so is this not the ideal place to put your project in front of the people who matter and people who know others in the trade. It is all about being noticed, so do it now.

DC2 Integra racing machine

David Allen — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:46:30 +0000

Even though this is based on the Integra it is a racing machine and as with all racing cars the idea is to develop a car that has both speed and stability, one without the other just will not do and all of the time, money and effort would have been a waste of everyone times.

Surprisingly this is a 95 version of the car, this means that we are looking at car that should really be past it’s prime by a good many years. However, naturally it is not because of the work that has gone into it.

However, this Integra is a hybrid too, this is a drag car that runs the quarter mile, with some style and presence, but could please all of those green supporters too, and not there are not many cars on the circuit that you could say that of.

Producing 800 hp is not a problem and the 2009 season beckons, hopefully this year there will some significant results and rewards for all of that hard work and vision that has gone into this 1995 Integra.

The Fresh Moves 2007 Lexus SC430

David Allen — Thu, 28 May 2009 15:45:58 +0000

When Toyota brought out the Lexus range of cars, these were considered luxury vehicles designed for executives who did not want to buy a Mercedes for some reason or other. But over the years the range has expanded to take on the likes of Porsche and other high performance cars, so getting your hands on a Lexus SC430 that would be it, wouldn’t it?

For some people yes, but not everyone is satisfied with factory finishes and so they embark on a serious upgrading of the car, are they mad or just inspired? Clearly they have to be the later and for Toshiki Yoshioka upgrading the car is a matter of course.

But this in no street ride, this is a real drifting racing machine and not satisfied with having one of the coolest cars around he also has one of the best racing cars around too, a winner in the D1GP and the Formula D series, it just don’t get any better than that, or does it.

The Naturally aspirated Mitsubishi Galant

David Allen — Wed, 27 May 2009 15:32:18 +0000

Mitsubishi Galants were traditionally considered to be a family car and because of the image it soon became that, which is a shame because these cars are something else.

This particular model is owned by Broderick Jones whose intention was to create the best Galant on the road. When some one says that a lot of people think “Oh Yeah” but he meant it and to prove it, the car itself says a lot about what this car is all about.

The original car was bought in 2004 from friends, then it had only done around 32,000 miles, which is good, but the engine was going to be changed anyhow. With a 3.5 litre engine installed it became the only one of its kind, how cool is that.

Now this car can produce around 225 whp and with all of the other work done on the car, this is truly a nice looking machine that breaks the rules in every way, but could often still be mistaken for an average family car.

Acura Integra from 1994

David Allen — Tue, 26 May 2009 13:37:36 +0000

Like fine wines some cars have what it takes to stand the test of time, it shows straight away that the car is going to be cool for a long time when people build them up to such high standards that these are worth so much more than the original version. That not just in cash value, it’s in hours put into to making the car what it is right now, not what it was.

The Acura Integra was originally a workhorse car, affordable and reliable, yet in the hands of someone like Chris Rios, these machines take on different persona, no longer is the car a family run around or travelling salesmans wheels.

This has slowly over time become a track ripping beast that nobody would ever want to pull up next to at the lights, because if you did, you could not resist the urge to race, even though you knew dam well that you stood no chance at all in beating it to the next set of lights.

Toyota Supra 1,101 lb ft of Torque

David Allen — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:20:56 +0000

This is something a little bit special the Blitz/Scorch Drag Supra, capable of delivering 1,497 hp, which is one hell of handful. The car was built by Blitz the drag racers in collaboration with the drag shop Scorch Racing.

The plan is simple, get this car to the track in Japan and blows everything else out of the way, which may not be that difficult considering that the ultimate goal is build the fastest Supra around.

The car has been built to highest standards, that the builders could possibly do and with the resources, that both Blitz and Scorch have it is hardly surprising that they could be a car to such an extent that it quite simply blows the competition away in a flash.

Toyota Supras are serious cars on their own, without any the additions that these guys have managed to come up with, but what is the point in building something from the wheels up if it is not going to be the best of its kind around.

The specs below show what this car has to offer, it is just a matter of getting to the right place at the right and it is going to fly, big time.

Toyota Supra 1982-1998 -Performance Portfolio (Brooklands Road Test Books) (Paperback)

Product Description

This car started out with the name Celica Supra but is a very different car from the ordinary Celica. The Mk II models were on sale from 1982 to 1985 and had a major redesign in 1986. This produced a car, which was smoother, and more rounded in shape but retained a look, which hinted at the power and performance available. At the start of 1993 the radically designed Mk IV appeared which was lighter and, with a 3-litre engine, had agility and precise handling. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, new model introductions, driver’s impressions, buying second-hand, and track tests.
