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.
A bagged s10 with a 300zx rear and and an rb25det? Yes please.
This is all worthless without video right? Here you go 🙂
The end of season is quickly approaching but it’s not dead yet so this weekend I will be at the CSCS Finale.
I should also be receiving a restock of the white and pink ‘I Like ‘Em Dropped‘ stickers at CSCS as well, so those of you who have been waiting for those to come back they should be in the store Monday.
I will also be working on my garage with my dad this weekend so I’ll have a garage build update as well, which is something I have been looking forward to posting for awhile.
Going to take it back the Race Stance Theme Tuesday today.
How about a follow up to this? Hmm…
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.
Today’s finals coverage is mostly broken down by driver.
After the finalists were introduced a few of them decided to put on a little pre show, show.
Frédéric Girard and his Rock Star 240
Landerville continued to have a great day all the way into the podium.
While Pat didn’t make it into the finals he drove well enough all year to finish out in 2nd place
Bob Patinka ended up putting together a decent day
Matt Waldin ended up blowing his motor in the finals but had accumulated enough points to finish the year in the top spot.
Some shots of the antics on the podium
‘Till next year

CSCS August 22nd Event Coverage: Part 2 (Lapping)
CSCS August 22nd Event Coverage: Part 3 (Drifting)
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…
Few shots of some of the cleaner looking Hondas at the show
I didn’t see to many AWD cars at the show now that I think about it, wonder why 😉
The guys from Union are pretty much a given at any drifting event.
Basically everything else…
Took some time to check out Pat’s car up close, this car wears its wounds (and stickers) well.
This car was at Stretch and Poke Two on half of this setup but now that he has the all four on the car looks crazy.
A lot of people stopped to check out the fitment, most notably the rear fitment.
Check back tomorrow for the drift finals and podium coverage.
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.
A lot of people have been saying that the course was not as fast as it could have been, but I still had a great time watching all of the drivers try and figure out the technical, multi-elevation course.
Furthermore I’m still a ‘noob’ when it comes to this drifting business so I will take what I can get, and anytime I can go out and support Pat Cyr and Drift Posse I am going to do it.
I’m going to do my best here to name the drivers who’s photos I took, if I miss label any please let me know.
As previously mentioned the track was pretty tricky with all of the elevation changes. A lot of drivers came in too hot and paid with spin outs and off track excursions.
Check back tomorrow for Show & Shine pictures and Thursday for pictures from the finals, and perhaps check this page later for some photos I may or may not have forgot to add.
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.
VW owners are winning I guess, here we go:
Dave and the crew at Stretch & Poke have put together their final meet of the year, and it’s taking place Oct 3rd 2010 at Downsview Park.

I should be rolling into the event about mid afternoon so hope to see a lot of people there 😀
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.
No real order to the photos today, just going to post them up as they were on my hard drive after editing.
When I am at events I try and take photos of things I know my readers will respond too, whether it be women, funny stickers, random nonsense, or random cars.
More often than not when I post an odd car Ollie or Joe are the first to identify it, so I figured I should take some pictures of this car for them and the rest of you out there who are familiar with off beat cars.
Don’t ever say I don’t pay attention to the comments 😉
I saw these photos on the Stance Works forums and I was awe struck. We have some pot holes here that are worth avoiding but it seems that Bulgaria considers craters potholes.
These are not rota’s getting mangled either authentic BBS wheels just getting disrespected something fierce. It’s enough to make a wheel whore cry.
As the season starts to come to a close everyone is trying to get their last events in so it is keeping me pretty busy. This weekend DMCC is in town this wekeend and I’m really hoping to be able to make it out to that, then next weekend another CSCS and then after that the final Stretch and Poke meet or the year.
Look out for lots of event coverage over the next month as I have even stopped by a few classic shows in between import ones.
Low Civic Steep Drop, not much more to say here other than I am working on a Theme Tuesday of car tri-poding pictures.
