Theme Tuesdays: Split Wheel Conversions

DaveT -
Yesterday a friend of mine shared a photo of three piece converted factory e30 bottle cap wheels that quite frankly looked damn good. This was not the first set of wheels I had seen this done...

Featured Ride: Guillaume’s GTI

DaveT -
As enthusiasts we've all got first car memories that we hold dear. Some of us began our journey with unfit vehicles we coaxed into road worthiness with months of tireless work, while others were lucky enough acquire hand me down vehicles that have been in the family since new. The last scenario describes Guillaume and his GTI, a car that his mother first purchased in 2004.

WTF Friday: 10 Crazy Viper V10 Swaps

DaveT -
A few months ago it occurred to me that Viper V10s have been somewhat rapidly departing their homes for greener pastures. I always assumed the motor was fairly expensive (given the sticker on the car) but if you factor in how many have probably been wrecked between 1992 to today you've got to imagine there's a decent amount of these motors floating around at reasonable prices.

Pumped On This

DaveT -
I'm sure many of you have seen these photos already but I am going to post it here anyway because I am that pumped on the idea of a bagged, LS powered, s14 drift car. When I was at the Air Lift factory back in March I had the opportunity to take a look at an early production version of their Nissan s14 kit and at the time they didn't say much either way about whether or not it would be released officially.

Theme Tuesdays: Cheverolet Corvairs

DaveT -
Last week I said that this weeks Theme Tuesday would be something normal and after getting about half way through a more standard chassis I got a little distracted and well... here is a Chevrolet Corvair Theme Tuesday instead. Dubbed 'unsafe at any speed' due to it's swing arm rear suspension (and it's tendency to be a bit wacky while cornering) the Corvair is a bit of a love/hate car among enthusiasts. Like any 'misfit' vehicle however the Corvair has a dedicated following from Motorsports nuts all the way to the wire and flaked paint crowd.

Courier Service

DaveT -
This Courier ended up on my screen a couple months ago while gathering photos for a Theme Tuesday and quite honestly blew me away. I'm not sure I have ever seen a Courier before (stock or otherwise) so happening across this was pretty rad, more rad is the fact that it is an Ontario build.

WTF Friday: Not Quite A Tumbler

DaveT -
It's been some time since a craigslist find was the focal point of a WTF Friday post so this week I've got one wicked creation from the mean streets of El Paso. Like most other odd, black, vehicular creations listed Craigslist (or Kijiji for that matter) this vehicle is touted as a custom built 'rat rod' by it's owner.

Event Coverage

Event Coverage: H2O International 2013 – Pt. 4

DaveT -
Really can't be happier with my first trip to H2O and I'm glad to have finally gone. Thanks to Blair and Kristina for guiding the way and Shayan for riding shotgun and preventing me from dozing off and ending up shiny side down in a ditch. Going to round out the last of the coverage with a few photos from the Taphouse and a couple shots of cars that were running up and down the strip. Hopefully I'll be saying to hello to Ocean City once more in 2014!

Theme Tuesdays: First gen IS300/Altezzas

DaveT - 2
For this week's Theme Tuesday I decided to go with a vehicle I have yet to dedicate a day to instead of doing another series theme. While I've posted, and featured, IS300's before I've been slacking at posting up a real solid collection of them, until now. There isn't really much to hate with the IS300, It's a versatile rear wheel drive platform built on Toyota/Lexus's past successes. After a day or so of searching here is the tip of the IS300 iceberg.

SEMA Showstopper: Juanky built 57

DaveT - 2
Did my first full day of SEMA yesterday and all I can say is 'wow'. There are so many incredibly well built projects this year that picking a place to start was a little difficult but this Juanky Built Dodge seemed like as good a place as any. It's one of those builds that drew me in initially simply because it was old and low but once I got closer I started to appreciate the small details slipped in by the builder.
