Risky Devil

You might remember I posted up 2 Cool Shots a while ago. Well I stumbled accross the guy’s blog last night: Risky Devil. Loads of cool stuff and more awesome photography.

Eibach Meet 2008

So-Cal sunshine and Hot Hondas; Does it get any better than this? I have really been feeling Hondas again recently and these pics are not helping!

Late night industrial encounter

I took the roadster out tonight to take a few snaps, take a run down my favourite road and generally enjoy not being in work tomorrow. I headed into an industrial area about 10miles from my house and was flashed for a race by a Fiat Bravo. It was never going to be much of a race so I lost him by 3rd gear and slowed down. He came past me flat out and turned into the industrial estate. I kinda hung back and followed as I wondered what was going on.

The industrial estate in question is made up of 3 roughly 1/4 mile straights punctuated with roundabouts. Back in the day there used to be a big biker meet (I’m talking 6 years ago) but it never really took off for cars. The 5-0 shut it down pretty quick anyway so people gave up on it.

So I get down to the last roundabout to find about 30 cars parked up, mainly Evo’s, Impreza’s a few Honda’s and a couple of euro cars. There was a bit of racing going on in pairs between the two bottom roundabouts but nothing crazy. I had a couple of buzzes up and down and showed the FF boys why FR rules and parked up.

I got chatting to a guy in a GD; apparently this goes on every weekend now with minimal attention from the cops. I will try and get up there one week with my camera and get some shots. It was a really cool atmosphere and no one was acting up just friends hanging out with cars.

Anyway, here is a shots I did get from the night:

Japfest 17-05-08: Part 2

Sit back, relax and enjoy round two of this weekends action:

Evo converted to 3-door.

Ziptied.

Yes, I am obsessed with the ‘rolla

Killer EG’s. The red one was K20 powered and got booted off the track for breaking the noise limit when hitting it’s limiter at 9400rpm!!!!

Honda People

J’s racing Stook again.

Massive Carbon air intake looked awesome.

R34 was rocking carbon everywhere.

Dori Chaser

VIP Corner

Honda Corner; DC2 on Wed Sports. The CRX was running a B16 on Throttle Bodies.

Aggressive DC5

EK9-R’s and lots of them.

Sweet EG was wearing all the right bits.

Work. Hard.

This Supra is being built to dip into the 6’s when it is finished; talk is cheap though.

So that was Japfest for another year. Feels like the summer is here now and the show season is fully on. If this was anything to go by I am really looking forward to JAE and JTS.

Great show, great cars and great people.

Japfest 17-05-08: Part 1

Despite oversleeping by a full 2 hours I made it the whole 125 miles in the KP to a dry Castle Combe. There was plenty of cool stuff to check out on and off the track, with the show now expanding into some of the areas that were used as car parks last year to fit in the 75 club stands and 2500 cars on display. I think it is fairly safe to say the UK Jap scene is alive, well and still growing!

Thanks to www.eight-six.co.uk I was able to get a stand pass which is always great, especially when you are among such cool cars!

N2 Trueno from Garage Shapple. Spec includes a Carb fed 4-AGE, deep dish meshies and an owner dying to take it to the track in anger.

More 4-AGE power, this time in the shape of a KE70. Killer stance and OEM Brown rule. You have to love the JDM grille, chin spoiler and twin headlights.

10j Street fins.

In other Corolla news this awsome F20C 86 looked how but unfortunately didn’t make it out on track for long due to a miss-fire

All business inside

This Datsun 240Z has been a race car from the factory

Currently packing 3.1L of Throttle bodied 6-pot L series motor.

This 240 was looking box-fresh and running a 1JZ GTE motor.

The install looked factory.

I loved this NA6CE; Slammed, arched, SSR MK1’s and a carb fed motor.

EP on Rays running Stop tech brakes and some sweet Buddy Club buckets.

S15 Spec R showing how wheels should be fitted.

DC5 looked good on decent offset Rotas.

Stay tuned for the next exciting instalment…………..

Team Mouse Hachi’s looking hardcore

I spy SR20

In conclusion; 7tune.com rules.

Japfest 2008

It’s that time of the year again! One of the biggest Jap shows in the UK calender always delivers with a quality mix of hard-parking and track action. I will be on the www.eight-six.co.uk stand in a hard-parking capacity.

NASC Spring Nats 10-05-08

This event is only 5 mins for my house so I thought it would be rude not to go along! Some really cool cars were on display, most of them getting some serious death on the track. Aahhh, there is nothing like the sound of a V8 and the smell of petrol on a Saturday morning.  Check out the full gallery HERE

Kei Delight

Economical, low tax and easy to park; What more could you want? I believe these three cars belong to an FF drift team.

Check out the exhaust!

Sweet stance with proper stretched rubber.
