Logan’s On Track

3

Logan has been putting in a ton of work this alongside Shawn from Drift Union. They killed it at a number of events both in Canada and in the states to the point where people are taking note of the guys in purple cars.

Like Pat, I’m a big supporter of Logan because he is Canadian, drifts, and has BMX roots. So while I plugged this on facebook already I am going to do it again. Vote for Logan as ‘Best Street Drift Car 2010′ over on Speedhunters because his cars got stance, it’s unique, and he slides it all the damn time.

Oh and he rocks one of my stickers, word.

One of the most unique Legacy's on the planet.
*insert handles like it's on rails joke here*
Rear corner has shown a little love to obsticles.
Still the best photo of one of my stickers to date

Jimmini Jillickers

10

Evidently one of the most sought after compact 4x4s in North America, The Suzuki Samurai, is known as the Jimny in Japan. I honestly had no idea when it came here it got re branded but I guess it sort of makes sense as most things do.

The last Samuari/Jimny I saw was all decked out for mudding and is a stark contrast from the one I am posting today.

I am sure a lot of 4×4 guys will be unhappy about what has become of this clean Samurai but let’s face it, most of the cars on this site would make 4×4 owners unhappy 😛

I think this is tucking legitimately half the rim
Imagine this with a more aggressive set of wheels?

and if for some reason you don’t get the title reference:

When wagons attack

5

This might be the coolest Civic Wagovan I have seen since Bisimotos 700hp D16 beast or the one in the famous Wagon Attack 2 video.

If these things didn’t rust to hell so easy there would probably be quite a few cool ones around. Oh well I guess the best thing to do would be appreciate what we’ve got left.

Big fan of this one.

Great to see cars with stance out on the track
Love the fact this has a little flare work going on

More info on this is needed, anyone?

WTF Friday: One wild Vette…

6

Corvette fans I will warn you now, avert your eyes, because what you are about to see you probably will not like, and on that same note early Dodge truck fans I suggest you proceed with caution as well because one of your own has also been roped into this hodge-podge build.

Looking at this 1977 ‘Vette it’s easy to tell that the person who built it had some level of mechanical ability. The car still functions after all these ‘modifications’ but I think you will agree that their taste in aesthetic mods leaves a little to be desired.

I wouldn’t call this a rat because it would be an insult to rat rods, perhaps a mutt car?

How much would you pay?
Hands down one of the more interesting side profiles I have seen in awhile
Um, fences go in yards?
I would be interested to see this in another car
I know which I would take...
Craftsmanship
Looks like a pressure cooker

The reserve was not met on EBAY at $5900 so I dunno what the owner wants but its a bit of change.

Site Updates

Still have a hosting space! Nothing has moved yet but I did make some changes to make things more efficient. Search and categories now return excerpt views (like the homepage) instead of full posts.

This makes finding things a LOT easier and less bandwidth intensive for my server and people viewing and I have no idea why I didn’t do it before…

Flashback Friday

Since I mentioned Sean’s Blazer on Monday I might as well throw it back to the event I saw it at, Extreme Invasion 2009.

I remember this event well because I sat in a truck that seriously messed up my hearing for a few days.

Ridin' Cali

I might be around on the weekend with a post but I should really go Christmas shopping so no promises.

Hidden Truths

9

This FD’s got an LS1 under the hood, I have not seen it but I am willing to take Matt at Farm of Minds word for it because why would he lie?

Even if this FD doesn’t have an LS-1 under the hood aesthetically it’s pretty mean with it’s functional stance, high contrast bright green Enkei RPF-1s, and subtle body modifications.

This color has me thinking all different about getting RPF1s

DC Squared

8

I was surfing JDMR the other day and I noticed that the red DC in this post is up for sale/being parted while the white one is going under the knife for a 2011 transformation. This means that these photos, which are not all that old, are now time capsules of the last time these cars wore their Mugen inspired look.

I’m not sure what the owners plan to do next but judging by what they have already accomplished it’s safe to say that what they are pushing in 2010 will look at least this good.

Both of these cars are as clean in person as they are in the pictures. I’ve seen the red one first hand and and have spent lots of time reading the build on the white one and several people have vouched for its cleanliness.

Candy red lips match pretty well
Respect to the owner for keeping those massive side skirts scratch free
Front plate law FTL.
If red isn't your style how about some white
White on white done right
Rega's are awesome
Pick your poison
Like the composition of this shot a lot
Wonder how these two will end up for next season

Hurry up summer 2011…

When men were men

3

It appears that when men were men they drove the snot out of open wheel cars in open faced helmets with not a care in the world.

I have no idea what sort of race series these photos came from, and no idea what type of cars they are but I know they needed to be shared with more people.

Check the staggered tire size out rear... or is it staggered tire amount
The look of determination on his face let's you know he means business
Explanation needed... anyone?
This looks to be a current race series of classic cars judging by the updated bucket

Winter Wednesdays: Rock with it

2

This winter has been pretty wild so far: two hours away people have been getting snow almost non stop for a week and a half while even farther in away in Ontario people were stuck on the highway in their cars for a couple days.

Here in GTA it’s just been cold, so that I don’t even want to bother setting up my new snowboard, the board which I am reminded of not because of the weather but because Eric has two strapped to the roof of his beater in this Mike Joe photo shoot.

While these pictures are from last year that doesn’t make them any less impressive. Mikes a trooper for setting up a fully legit photoshoot in what was no doubt a very cold night.

Snow packed steelies are mandatory winter attire

This is just a nice photo.

Theme Tuesdays: MKIII Supras

13

I think the MKIII Supra is slept on. Sure the MK4 that came after was a big success, and yes MKIII’s may have had head gasket problems, but I’ll be damned if they can’t look good in the right hands.

The wedge like body shape and pop up headlights are great indicators of the time period the car came from, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Start things off with a bang, this car looks great
This car deserves a better photo
Fairly aggressive pull all around
More MkIII
The Perfect exposure always delivers.
This color reminds me of Smokeys Nagatas MK5
Big wing, clean car

Mr. Two takes to the sky

4

Rally cross looks like fun, I should figure out a way to get out to one probably the only time I will see an MR2 do this.

Short post is short.

Somewhere out there an Mr 2 nut is crying, and the guy behind the wheel doesn't care.

Back later with more from the Toyota flag.
