Chicken Adobo Fixed Gear
Haven’t posted here in awhile. Sorry about that. But I made an edit, clips from the last couple of days. Some leftover footy while helping out filming for Gnarcotix. Hope you all like it, enjoy.

I honestly have no idea what kind of creation this thing is, but it’s rad.
The 240sx Gallery
There’s no denying the recent popularity spike of the 240sx… these cars have always been a versatile and relatively simple, cheaper option. With its FR setup and a long-ish wheelbase, these cars are quick to get dropped and slid. Enjoy browsing through these random pictures of some sweet S-Chassis from around the world.
Silver on Black RX-7
My buddy Rob picked up this RX-7 a few years ago with a blown engine from his sister. It later sat until he was able to resurrect it and rebuild the 13B-REW, in the process converting it to non-sequential turbos. The car was then rolling around on stock wheels and lowered for a while. It was only last summer when he got around to changing things up with the Work XD-9s (18×10″ +18, 18×10″ +30), coated in the special dust-resistant Endurance black finish. The end product is a great showcase of what a FD should look like. It’s a shame he’s currently selling it, and it seems like the replacement will be a bimmer of some kind. But priorities do change… at least the car is still cool to look at.

Star Road 240z
There are some cars out there, that with one look you are hit with an impression of just how thoroughly put together it was. This Red Datsun 240z from Star Road is one of those examples. Every corner of the car is spotless and the very shiny L-series engine with steel braided lines presents a meticulous attention to detail. This is a build that does not inspire to be over-the-top or outlandish, but rather undertakes a more subtle approach. This would be very close to my dream S30. Maybe a little bit lower… nah, maybe not.
Keep Clean, Stay Fit
Honda Fits have potential to be cool daily drivers and what not, you can definitely turn them into something cool looking like the one below. No one needs double-wish bone suspension or torsen LSDs if you’re just getting around town…
I do personally disagree with the more than likely pointless towhook sticking out the rear, but overall the car ain’t bad.
Pic of the Day: Volvo in the Field
Very interesting composition. The rolling haystacks seem a bit artificial.
Red R31 Skyline
This thing is pretty awesome looking. For some reason the front reminds me of a integra-5.0 Mustang mix…
And here’s another Skyline related picture for effect. Which would you take? Old or New? Give me the oldschool 
Low Wagon Style
Toyota Corina, probably not the most commonly heard car model. Essentially another typical Japanese econo-car from the 80’s, but the read Corina below shows that any car can have a soul. Especially when it’s sitting pretty on some SSR MKIII’s.
East Coast Style
Biggie Smalls is one of the most popular rappers in history, and left a legacy after he met his untimely end. Some say he was related to the murder of 2Pac, but the whole West Coast East Coast feud is beside the point. Here’s a classic track from his debut album.

Pic of the Day: 4-Door R32
Coupes are cool and all… but how about some 4-door action? On a R32 nonetheless. Mo’ dohs fo’ mo’ hos!
Mesh Attack
The agenda is simple, just a collection of various cars sporting mesh type wheels. Wheels come in all types of shapes and designs, but I’d have to say 5 spokes and Mesh wheels are at the top in terms of popularity.
GORILLA Kilroy
Props for a cool frame built to handle punishment and abuse. Well put-together video with some cool riding as well. Here’s what they had to say about the particular frame:
After slamming and breaking our prototypes in public and in front of cameras, we finally started production of the Kilroy frame. The tests that Wonka ran lead to the conclusion that we had to manufacture a tube set just for this frame, with particular reinforced parts to absorb and handle the stress of the jumps. Together with Columbus we decided to change the alloy in order to avoid very thick and heavy tubes and gain in strength nevertheless. We are proud to present the first freestyle frame in Niobium steel. The Columbus Niobium steel is a special micro alloyed steel with Manganese, Chrome, Nickel, Molybdenum and Niobium that is designed to provide superior mechanical properties
Low Porsche
911’s really have a knack for going low, and their teardrop shape go hand in hand with flush as exampled by this nice BBS LM fitted 996 series.
Dropping the Top at the Chop Shop
While this Frankenstein creation weighs 1500lbs, saving a few hundred pounds over the stock 1900lbs weight, I still can’t help but wonder about all the other sensible, and equally adequate alternatives to cutting up a perfectly good Lotus Elise… Couldn’t the owner just buy a Lotus Eleven or even an Ariel Atom instead? Irregardless of that, the supercharger pushes out 305hp and it also has a sequential gear-box.
Fresh Levin
It’s the start of a new year, and to kick things off, here are a couple pictures of a nicely done AE86 Levin. Everything was done cleanly and in taste, I also dig the dark gray color.
