Event

I finally made it to Tokyo Auto Salon and it lived up to what it’s said to be – a giant showcase of Japanese tuning culture with literally something for everyone. I’ll post all the pictures on the Brickhouse Facebook page so be sure to check that out. And I’ve been putting up some of […]

I made it to Tokyo Auto Salon this year and put together a video of the event from my eyes. There was a lot to take in but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t drawn to the drift oriented builds! Check it out!

I did a quick walk around the pits as the day was wrapping up. Some cars had already left but that worked in my favor as it meant there was room to get pictures. Here’s what caught my eye. The Garage Cartis S15 is pretty awesome. Love the less common DMAX aero. The rear overs […]

I made my goal for this year to progress as a driver, so when I came across the 2013 Okinawa Super Drift schedule and saw they had a beginner class, I got down to Garage Cartis and signed up. But some background first as a month before the event, Yukari Bokujo closed. This put the […]

Nakamura-san is the “boss” of the Trickers car club/group/team/collective-of-people-who-put-TRICKERS-stickers-on-their-cars and runs a shop of the same name.
