I’m sure it is safe to make the statement that per capita there are more USDM cars rolling on JDM wheels in Japan than in the United States. Here we have a Chevy Camaro on Work VS-XX wheels (I believe, someone speak up and confirm!). If it were lowered a bit, it could pull off [...]

If this was my car, I wouldn’t even mess with cones and barriers. I’d being going armed guards and rottweilers all the way.
Timeout: Shakotan Boogie Revisted

On a drive very similar to the first time I stumbled across the Shakotan Boogie Skyline from this post, it happened again. There it was basking in the sun off to the side of a parking lot. After rereading my previous post, it seems my guess that it was coming out of storage was spot [...]
Timeout: Rally through the wire

While checking ferry times in Tallinn, Estonia, last summer, I caught this rally spec’d Ford Fiesta (Festiva?) getting ready to be loaded for the short trip to Helsinki, Finland. I let my buddies go inquire about times and I snapped some pics and observed.

Timeout: C&Y Sports Altezza

C&Y Sports’ main office is on mainland but, to our good fortune, they opened a shop here in Okinawa a few years back. They do crazy motor swaps. It’s their thing. It’s what they are known for. It’s what got them noticed.
Timeout: “Please no” C33 Laurel
Posted in Steve, Timeout, tagged aero, C33, laurel, nissan on June 20, 2011 | 2 Comments »
This Laurel sits at one of the popular junkyards. I’m not sure what it looks like currently but, when I took this pic, I was pretty much in love with it. Noteworthy points: 1. The front fenders are vented not widened. They looked to be stock metal with large vents and mesh installed. 2. The [...]
Timeout: Total 180 180′s.

When I saw these two sitting next to each other in the parking area at the Okinawa Motor Festival, I new it was too good to pass up – two fine examples of 180′s built in completely different manners. We’ll start with the matte, camo green 180 you see above…
timeout: Shakotan Boogie C210 Skyline
Posted in Steve, Timeout on March 2, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
During a cruise completely unrelated to cars – just exploring new areas; something caught my eye in the walled lot of what looked like any other mechanics shop. Nothing special about the place. Knowing it was too good to pass up, I made a quick U-turn and pulled in. After asking if it was okay [...]

Just looking to build a little hype for the upcoming KY! Season. I would love to get a decent showing of Nebraskan’s to the first event (probably early May). It will be a lot of fun, and it is a great relaxed atmosphere to learn, meet people, and drift. There isn’t a competition segment (yet). [...]
