1997 Toyota Supra – The People’s Champ

130_0903_01_z1997_toyota_suprarear_view

It is not unusual to see a normal Toyota Supra being driven around the streets by a woman; you have to suppose that occasionally the car would even be used on the school run. However, looking at this machine, with its full body kit from Top Secret and pulling 1,200 hp you may think macho; but in fact, this car belongs to Joy Carino.

 

Sure, she may be part of the AutoConcept Elite Crew from Camarillo, California, who happened to help

turp_0810_01_znissan_350z_twin_turbofront_left_view

This is Brent Metro’s Nissan 350Z the finished article is something of a work of art, you only have to look at the bodywork to work that one out for yourself, it is simply stunning to look at and as it stands would probably take top spot at any show.

 

But this car is more than just a show car, put your foot down and it will take you to 183 mph, which in anyone’s book is fast, the car now takes on a different persona now this is

Blow your mind with this Honda Civic

130_0904_06_z2000_honda_civic_dxrear_view

Hondas are cool these days, the Civic may be at the cutting edge of design and technology these days, but it was not always like that. If you said that your next project was going to be a Civic you would have laughed away.

 

However, this particular Honda Civic could be one of those cars that changes all of that, this is the Honda Civic that Rainer De Leon built,

Toyota Corolla from 1974

130_0809_01_z1974_toyota_corollaside_view

1974 must have been a good year for cars, this Toyota Corolla would have cost a less new than a run around would today and yet this car does have a class of its own; it has lines curves, chrome, proper paint and not mod cons.

 

Yet in some views this could be a classic car, but it’s not, this is show car that has taken five years to build so far and it still r

A super cool blue Mazda RX-7 FC3S

sstp_0808_17_z1990_mazda_rx7_fc3sdriver_side_rear_night

The owners of this vehicle worked on it every weekend for two years, which is the sort of commitment required to get your wheels looking like this and to reach the standard where other entrants at shows simply have to take a peep at your car.

 

This is a 1990 model of the car, so it’s getting on a bit, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that from the initial view, even so the older a project car is the better and in many cases the

The 1999 Lexus GS400

impp_0807_08_z1999_lexus_gs400interior

The Lexus GS400 is an unusual car because at first glance you would have thought that it was a luxury vehicle that has been designed for the company executive to cruise around in. It is true that is the cars purpose, but hand it over to someone like the Johnny Tran and the whole car takes on a completely different stand point.

A good place to get started without even owning a car is by reading a decent book or watching a good DVD. A lot can be picked up through watching someone else do the work in front you. It is like many things, it is the little bits that count.

The Blitz/Scorch Drag Supra

The Blitz/Scorch Drag Supra

This is not your ordinary street car and considering that this machine is capable of delivering 1,497 hp which is not something that can taken lightly, in fact the that sort of power is difficult to comprehend for the average driver.

Blitz are the number one drag team in Japan, but drag racing has had a hard time over the past few years could the sport have lost its hold over the fans? In Japan that would somewhat strange considerin
