BMW M1 Procar

I’ve been listening to rotaries for so long now, I almost forgot that piston engines can sound good too… Like this BMW M1 for example, doing some laps around the Silverstone GP Circuit in England. You’ll want to watch this in HD.


VIP is the Theme

Nice and straight forward… these cars are the kind you want to cruise the town in.

And a 7 Series for good measure.


Check the Technique Stickers

It took a while to get these made, but they’re finally here! Stickers are a way to individualism, so why not increase that steez with one of these. Made from some really high quality, reflective Sparkle Gold material, they will surely add a little bling factor. Die-cut and 10″ in width. The stickers are ready to ship, but quantity is limited. Head over to the Store and grab one!


Ray Barbee – Ban This

There’s something about this video that I really like. Maybe it’s because of the throwback feel of it all, since it is from Powell Peralta’s “Ban This” circa 1989. It might be because of Ray Barbee’s sick flow on the board. You never see people skate like this anymore these days, I love how he can string together everything and keep things moving and interesting. The music, from what I gather, is a version by Chuck Treece based off of The Cure – Like Cockatoos. Poetry in motion.


Frankenstein Mini Cooper

This thing must be a total beast to mob around in. The person that built this was obviously a fan of Honda drivetrains… it’s got twin cam and VTEC YO! not to mention a CR-V’s AWD…


Some Reader Support

It’s definitely a good feeling seeing some people out there showing some love for this website. The primary motivation behind all this is, hopefully, to give all you that visit something interesting to read about and look at. Here are a few pictures I’ve gathered of people repping a GrandMighty sticker, thanks again for the support!

While we’re all out of the original white stickers you see in the following pictures, something special will be coming very soon. Another variant of GrandMighty.com stickers are planned as well!


Bridging the Gap

Fixed gears are undoubtedly “trendy” right now, and there’s a lot of different and sometimes heated opinions on it. Regardless of what people think, they are fun to get around on. I found it interesting that the guy in the video below rides BMX and Dirtjumps, while uses a fixed gear to commute.


Pic of the Day: That’s Not Rust, That’s Character

This is a car that refused to die, in a very good way.


Murder Was the Case

This is quite a stunning black on black Corvette ZO6. The wheels the car is sitting on are 360 Forged Mesh Eights. Doesn’t look like a whole lot has been done aesthetically aside from the wheels, other than a lip and what looks like an exhaust, but that’s the way it should be for this car.


Nice Parking Spot

You know how people will go out of their way and park at the corner all the way in the back of the lot? Another option is to just slam your car and park it under a nearby semi truck :)


Jiggy Getting Jiggy With it

Well, I definitely wasn’t expecting that to happen. That’s M Power for you… buckle up next time BRO, safety first!


Pic of the Day: RX-7 on Tsukuba

There’s just something about race oriented FDs with aggressive rear wings… like this white one doing a hot lap.


4.7L TT Supra

You might ask, why make an already wide car even wider?

This built up powerplant might have something to do with it…

4.7L iron block 2uzfe V8
TTC Performance motor mounts
TTC Performance billet water pump pulley cover
TTC Performance 214, 214 camshafts
Ferrea 36mm intake, 30mm exhaust valves
TTC Performance single wind valve springs
Pauter 2uzfe rods
Ross pistons
Total seal rings
ARP head/main studs
Cometic head gaskets
TTC Performance intake manifold
Q45 throttle body
extensive exhaust porting
TTC Performance oil filter relocation
TTC Performance fuel rail kit
750cc Lucas high impedance injectors
Twin Zirgo 14″ fans
custom 2.5″ core radiator
custom raditor tubing
TTC Performance 3″ catch can
TTC Performance 2″ radiator overflow can
TTC Performance billet triple pump hanger
Earls Prolite 350 lines
Earls 85 micron filters
Dual OEM TT fuel pumps
Aeromotive FPR
Link G3 Plus EMS
NZEFI plug n’ play harness

The car is an automatic however, but more than likely strictly drag duty.


Make Your Move

Have a listen to this track by rap group Hieroglyphics, based out of none other than Oakland. I dig the smooth beat…


Porsche 993 on Meisters

As played out as people like to think Work Meisters are, there’s a reason behind it. They look good. I don’t think there’s a car that can look bad with them. But when that car is a Porsche 993 C4S, that’s just like cheating with this combo. I’m a little biased though, I personally think the 993 is by far the best generation of the 911s, and being the last air-cooled one makes it a quintessential icon. It’s also a much more driver-oriented car, and isn’t diluted with all the electronics and gadgetry found in today’s cars…


Time to Go Dubbin’

Here’s some media of some Volkswagens, the company that seems to be buying up almost every Euro brand nowadays…

This picture makes me believe VW owners are some breed of Magicians

If you ain’t Rubbin’ you ain’t Dubbin’ right? Extra steez for that fender warpage.


Shopping Shuffle

Okay, this post isn’t going to have much relevancy to anything… I just had to post it because it was funny. If I saw this techno dude get down in real life, I wouldn’t know if I should laugh or be amazed.

Godzilla FD

Check out this monster RB26DETT, which apparently makes 876whp @ 8500RPM. The 50:50 weight distribution of a stock RX-7 is more than likely thrown off with the inline-6 and that planetary sized turbo, so it’s more than likely a drag car. While not how Mazda engineered the RX-8 to be, this car is still impressive.


Renaissance Rap

Can’t go wrong with a track by Q-Tip.


Bad Boy Vette

Now this is a livery / paint scheme done proper… Almost has a Mad Max post-apocalyptic feel to it, very bad ass. The car is Bad Boy Vettes‘ GT2 Mule.


Pic of the Day: Hi, Gumpert

No one in this picture, other than that little girl, seems to be paying attention to that satin black beast sitting before them. I’d admit to breaking neck if I saw an Apollo in real life.


Dirt Droppin’ for a Living

This guy isn’t messing around. Mad angle, smoke, and dirt… way too legit.


Mercedes 190

These have always been the iconic Mercedes model, and I personally would love to have one to cruise around in.

Also check out this video of a Hillclimb, that Judd V8 makes some sweet noises…


Pic of the Day: White Track Machine

This car looks amazing.
