This collection belongs to a guy in Northern VA. He brings some of the bikes to Cars & Coffee on occasion, apparently.

Thanks to SMindustries on VADriven for tipping me off about this.

Changes Changes

I profiled Greed12's Legacy back in March here.

Since then, his car has gone through some changes, most notably the wheels, which are now Rays Progressive Spoke in 19x8 +45.

Check out the rest of Subarudo here

Thanks for the submission!

Okishima FC3S

I found this on the Fatlace boards HERE

I think the FC, particularly the S5, is probably the best looking car to come out of Japan since the S30. Much as I like wacky drift cars, I think this looks best with no aero.

And now for something completely different

This '63 T-Bird (Project "Thunderdump") belongs to the indomitable FlimFlam of VADriven fame. He has a couple other projects I'd like to post on here as time goes on, so stay tuned.

The rear is going 2" or so lower, apparently. I love the big fat tires and the tuck with the natural lines of the car.

I think this thing is going to inspire a LOT of imitators.


He's the shop manager at Performance Autosport in Richmond, VA. Hit them up if you're in the area.

80's Continues

I still have a few more posts from the Hatimaru 80's meeting.

Lots of miscellaneous wheel shots. First set looks like SSR superfins, but I don't think so.

I'd love to see what Dsalni could do with line drawings of some of these shots.

I had to get in one more shot of the City Turbos. I like everything about these, the asymmetrical grilles, round lights, huge fenders, etc.

Ki-ck Returns

I thought I'd post an update of ki-ck's MPV, as I really like what he's done with it. I've never seen anyone do one of these in the US, which is ironic because his van is supposed to be USDM styled. I think it looks bitchin', and if anyone stateside owns one and wants to take it in this direction I can put you in touch. I love the Meisters.

Taken with Teru's Odyssey

Ki-ck's Zuma. Note USDM-style Bowl's and Battlescooter stickers. I'm thinking about Zuma-swapping my Ruckus.

Nice......Wrangler?

This comes from the Flickr of Mister-P, owner of the white 510 I posted awhile back. I guess it's a Wrangler, but it's been injected with so much rad that it's hard to tell anymore. I believe this shot is from USDM Jam. Airbags, Wats, stretch, Bride seat, Nardi wheel, all on a Jeep, and yet it somehow works.

If anyone can provide more (1024x or larger) images of this thing, hit me up and I'll ad them to this post and credit.

Not Your Average

I'd been following this car for a couple months now and and asked the owner to shoot me images of it when it was done. He's still going to go a little lower in the front, but it already looks nasty. Apparently the windshield visor is actually a rear blind from some other type of car.

Hatimaru 80's Meeting - Part II

More of the low-down boxy stuff. I got a lot done on my MX73 this weekend, so hopefully I'll have some shots of that soon.

Photography by Masaru Tanaka, and I was tipped to this gallery by Hasshy


GX71 Mark II. I need to find a bumper antenna. I will have more shots of the City Turbos in a future post.



MA61 Celica XX on Longchamps.


Another x71 Mark II


B310 with big N2-ish flares and Advan livery.


This is my favorite car of the set, given that it's about what I'm doing to mine, only mine's black and I'll have MkI's instead of Wats. I've ordered a chin spoiler very similar to the one you can barely see on the far left of this shot.

Hatimaru 80's Meeting

Hasshy directed me towards yet another huge 80's photo collection yesterday. I still have dozens of shots to post from the one he sent me on Wednesday, but these were too cool to withhold.

Lots more posts from both sets are coming over the next couple weeks, stay tuned.

GX51 Cresta, sort of makes me want to keep my brown interior on the x73.


GX71 Cresta with a cage and Watanabes. I need to find a rear blind like this.



Probably my favorite car in the set, 5M-powered S120 Crown on BBS. I'm starting to appreciate the look of these cars when they have less extreme fitment, and I'm kind of hoping that the "period correct" look gets popular stateside.




I cropped this and set it as my iPhone wallpaper. I love the angle of the stacks.



New kid on the block. The Japanese have had their TE37v's for awhile now, but we're just starting to receive them in the US. Deals on Club4AG right now are surprisingly good.

I'm loving this E110 Corolla. Someone stateside needs to make this happen.

Low Down Style

The MX73 parts cache is starting to come together, so here's some of my recent inspiration. This is part of a huge archive that hasshy submitted to me, so many thanks to him. Much more to come as time goes on.
