Makes

Being a member of s10forum I am not really sure how I missed this build where an s10 owner put an rb20det in an s10 but I did. I had no idea this even happened until I saw a video clip on my friend Jesse's new blog Dorimoto and my interest was peaked.

Here it is, the third and final set of photos from round 6 of the 2010 DMCC series at Mosport. Qualifying was Tuesday, show and shine Wednesday, and today is the finals and photos from the podium. Hopefully you guys have enjoyed this in depth coverage and will know (provided you are local to one) check out at least a DMCC event.

In between the qualifying runs and the finals at DMCC I took some time to quickly pass through the show and shine/pit area so it only makes sense that the coverage of said show and shine appears between the qualifying coverage and finals coverage. In hindsight it was free to enter the show and shine so I should have thrown my car in for kicks, next year...

On Sunday September 19th 2010 I went out to my first Drift Mania Canadian Championship (DMCC) event, which just so happened to be their final East event of the year. I had the long lens on the camera for most of the day which worked a treat for catching the action from the stands, and today's coverage is what I caught in the qualifying rounds.

Time to fall back on another established Theme for this Tuesday, but I am pretty sure no one will mind as I have yet to see a gear head turn down photos of fine looking cars and fine looking women. Oddly enough one common trend of Classy Models part one, part two and today's part three is that each has had an older VW paired with a fine young lady.

Last week was fairly Import heavy and most of this week will be drift heavy so to show a little love to those who read the blog and are a fan of classic cars I swung by the Applewood Plaza cruise in last week and took some photos. The turnout was not the largest that I've seen but it sure wasn't the smallest either, and I got to chat with Rod, the owner of the Turbonique Rocket Kart, some more about just how crazy the whole Jet powered vehicle thing was.

Cruising through the streets of Yorkville I watch as Aidan carefully navigates his way past potholes and any parts of the road eager to damage his Crimson Inc Linea Sport rims and Version Select body parts. Riding in the plush passenger seat I look past the Junction Produce curtains, and through the dark tints, at the reflection staring back at me and it's at this moment I understand why the VIP style and culture are so appealing.

Last Sunday I was invited out to a pub in Markham for a casual gathering of local car enthusiasts. It was great to go from the busy car show atmosphere to a lazy patio venue all in the same weekend and just further proves that no matter how you love your cars the GTA has something for you. The afternoon was a great opportunity for me to meet quite a few people I have interacted with online, in person for and see a lot of their cars first hand outside of the typical show venue.

Here is part two of the 2010 Importfest Coverage including some of the rides from the Division R, Sic Ryde and Nextmod teams along with the winner of the 'Baddest Stance' category which I helped judge. Additionally there are some awards ceremony shots and a couple girls. Off the top I would just like to thank Basit, Neil, Dave and the rest of the judges/organizers who put the show on for having me out to cover the event and letting me be a small part of it. Congratulations on a great 10 year anniversary guys.

I know I've done this body style of RX-7 before but truth be told there are so many nice ones out there that I will probably do the same theme a few more times. Sorry for the amount repeats lately but I am working on a couple of unique Theme Tuesdays but they take time to pull together. Besides it's nothing but love for rotary's right?

The tenth anniversary of Importfest went down this weekend and it was really one to remember, the show was about the same size as last year but the caliber of cars on the floor seemed to be quite a bit higher. The team entries were off the hook, the stage always had something going on, and the women looked great, not to mention the new best stance award category which I was lucky enough to have a hand in judging. Today's coverage is a little bit of everything so there should be a little something for everyone.

With certain cars sometimes to make a heard turner all you need to do is drop them to the ground, the cars which usually respond best to the 'just slam' treatment are ones that are normally not in the hands of people who would put them on the ground. Visually this Benz has no other modifications than a healthy drop, and if it never received anything else it would still look great.
