WashabiS2K’s Honda S2000

No Comments 02 March 2010

I hate to keeping whoring out S2000s on here but when I came across this one today on S2ki I had to post it. Not only is it amazingly clean, but it has some of the most choice parts on it it around. If you know Honda’s then you know ASM. ASM produces some of the best and thee most expensive parts for the S2000. All their parts are designed with maximum function as well as driveabilty. Washabis2k’s S2000 features some of these ASM parts. The car is rocking ASM front bumper, fenders, hood, rear bumper and rear over fenders just to name a few. To add to that its rocking Ohlins coilovers, Bride seats, Stack gauge cluster, Koyo radiator, Vortec supercharger, and a verity of ARC parts. The stance is compliments of BBS LM wheels with aggressive offsets and a hint of stretched tire. Check out all the photos after the jump.

No Comments 01 March 2010

While browsing CanIBeat last week I came across this well stanced S2000 owned by Ramon Collazo. The guys over there are always on the ball at uncovering some of the best stanced cars in the country. The S2000 before you is rocking some 17×9.5 F and 17×10.5 R BBS RS wheels, which in the S2000 world is very aggressive. Besdies the the wheels the car is rocking a J’s Diffuser, Apexi Coilovers, and Status bucket racing seats. As usual check out the fully gallery after the jump, and if you like the photography be sure to check out more of Jonathan DeHate’s work.

Honda’s HSV-010 Super GT500 Race Car

No Comments 25 February 2010

Honda recently announced that it will be competing in Japan’s Super GT series with its all new HSV-010 GT. The company use to campaign their NSX in the series until a rule change required a FR layout instead of the NSX’s MR layout. Although the rules state that only production ready vesicles may compete, Honda managed to squeak by stating that the HSV V10 has been production ready for a while now and has just been put delayed in the mean time.  To check out the full list of specs of the GT500 car as well as some photos and a video hit the continue reading link.

Sierra Sierra Evo 8 Hits 1:44.2 At Buttonwillow

No Comments 24 February 2010

Remember the Tomi / Cusco STi ? Remember how it ran crazy fast times at Buttonwillow? Remember the HKS Evo and how it holds the record at Buttonwillow? Well things are a changing. Sierra Sierra’s Time Attack Evo * recently beat the Tomi / Cusco STi’s record and is closing in on HKS’s time 1:43.523.  Eric Hsu posted up the following on his blog:

“Last week I went testing with the Sierra Sierra team to test out a bunch of new stuff on the EVO 8 at Buttonwillor Raceway. Some of these new modifications include revised front suspension geometry, stiffer spring combo, larger Garrett T04 turbo, Full-Race twin scroll exhaust manifold, larger exhaust, and a pair of larger custom Cosworth cams. Did it all work? So far so good. I think we are definitely making progress. On Hankook C91 DOT tires and the middle boost level, Dave Empringham piloted the car to a 1:44.2 on Buttonwillow’s configuration 13 clockwise. Good enough to smoke the Tomei/Cusco STi’s, but not quite HKS’ 1:43.523 yet.”

Anthony Mair Shoot – Scion XB

No Comments 17 February 2010

Anthony Mair is a local photographer here in Vegas whom I have been a fan of for a while now. He even shot my Mini Cooper a few months back and I was stoked with the end results. So today while Im bored at work I decided to check out Flickr and I saw on his photo stream he uploaded a new set of shots. The shots are of a Black Scion xB that belongs to a guy by the name of Neek. The car is rolling on some Work Eurolines (18×9.5 F and 18×10R ), Ksport coilovers, as well as a bunch of other goods from the land of the rising sun. For a full on article check out Upper Class Magazines article on the car or just hit the continue reading link to check out the photos.

I <3 JDM BMW Z4s

No Comments 17 February 2010

When I went to Japan a few years ago for Tokyo Auto Salon I gained even more respect for Japanese tuners then I already had. Their tuning style is so purposeful and well executed. They plan a full build instead of just throwing a bunch of parts together because they “make the most power” on the dyno. Each part is designed to work with the others and is well thought out prior to even touching the car.

With that said when you mix in Japanese tuning culture and BMWs you have a full blow recipe for some amazing cars. As of recent I have been really digging the Z4 M Coupes and when I came across these today I had to post them up. As usual check out the gallery after the jump.

Password JDM Bringing The Ruckus

No Comments 12 February 2010

Recently I have been looking for a new project that I can work on since I had parted out my car and decided to pick up a SUV for daily use and this summer pick up a track car. This lead me to looking into the Honda Ruckus. I was recently browsing PasswordJDM’s website and came across this clean example. I like pretty much everything about, except for the wheel set up.  Check out the full gallery after the jump.

Serious GC8 Part 2

No Comments 08 February 2010

Before I redid the blog I had posted up some photos of the serious Subaru GC8.

I figured I would post up these photos as well as this car is just an amazing example of a GC8 and you can never have too much of it. Check out the gallery after the jump.

CanIBeat Honda Civic Si

4 Comments 04 February 2010

Yesterday I was checking out CanIBeat.com and came across this dope Honda Civic Si. The car is rocking an awesome stance thanks to some SSR Reverse Mesh in 17×8 +14 Up front and 17×9 +14 in the rear and wrapped in some Falken ZE 512s (205/40, 215/40).

Cristian says they are for sale so if anyone is interested to hit him up:

“If I wasn’t in the process of building a motor & in the market for new wheels I would seriously keep these wheels forever just to look at. These are my all time favorite wheels (right behind sprint hart CPRs). I bought these off of RB Wheel in the beginning of 2009, rocked them during the summer season and just recently took them off my car.  – Cristian Loza

You can check out more photos and get Cristian’s contact info after the jump.
