the greatest mr2 ever…

In my opinion of course. The Sard MC8-R. Sure it’s not even close to a production SW20 since it was lengthened and modified to fit a twin turbo’d 1UZ from yo Momma’s ’94 LS400, but who the hell cares. And sure they sucked major balls at Le Mans, but come on. It’s still “based” on…

hyper to the max…

This car I never got to see run in person. Wish I could have. The world renowned HKS CT230R. It was pretty much the epitome of what a purpose built Time Attack car was. Not just some street car that a random tuner put together and sent to Tsukuba to beat records. This car was…

playing in the dirt…

There is something about this picture that makes me smile, regardless of the mood I’m in. More like competing instead of playing. ST185 ravaging the landscape, probably with Didier Auriol at the helm. Or it could have possibly have been Carlos Sainz. Mr.Cid

sibling envy…

Looks like little bro is jealous of big bro getting all the spotlight. Of course I’m biased to the younger Celica, but that is one sexy RA. You can never go wrong with Wats. I’d have gone gunmetal on them tho. The shots are awesome as well. Great lighting and layering. Damnit, another old Toyota…

happy birthday FiF!!!

This is the beginning of an obsession…an Auto Obsession. To one of my readers and soon to be contributor, Happy Birthday Mapi!! Sorry, I had to post the pic man. Now let’s Hustle. (grunt). Hard. Lol Mr.Cid

lemon jun…

I had a flashback about this car, and I honestly missed it. I pulled this info from a site I failed to remember. JUN Super Lemon RII-HJA Demo Car One of the most if not THE most famous Skyline in the world ! Featured on Top Gear driven by Jeremy Clarkson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uGl7hcfXgw&feature=related) Will come with…

every second counts…

I’m sure some of you may have seen this floating around. If you’ve got an ounce of passion for speed in your blood, this is definitely a cool video to watch… Several quotes that stood out to me; “Time is relevant to where you are.” – Albert Einstein “We are here for a good time,…

days of glory…

You know you’re a young grasshoppa if you can agree to any one of these; You love hard parking your mom’s ’97 Accord with zero offset wheels, just because its the shit. You have “demon camber” on the poor thing. You rock a yakima roof rack but don’t own a bike, and don’t know what…

seeing double…

Been drinking too much?? Yes. Been thinking of quitting?? Hell no. But yes, you are seeing double… Old school pic of the Cyber/Garage HRS/Unlimited Works Evo along with a double they made for a partner at Tsukuba. I forgot the name of the US based firm. Looks to be a Varis front on the doppelganger….

you’ve got to be crazy…

…to not like this. The wing is a little large, but for the track, it’s just a-ok. 350Z Voltex kit with AME-TM02 wheels. The kit’s been out for a year or almost two now, and I think it’s aging graceully, just like the 350. Obviously a street car would need a tad bit smaller wing….

kojima special…

If you’re reading this, I’m sure you’ve heard of Mike Kojima. From his early work in Nissan Performance, Turbo & Hi-Tech Performance , and Sport Compact Car magazines, to his latest projects like motoiq.com. This guy has been around even before the inception of the mainstream “sport compact & tuning industry.” His grassroots origin and…

i always thought…

…that the Blitz Supra was the shit back then. Obviously this isn’t the official shop car, but a US car. Still nice. I love the Type-01 wheels. I miss Turbo Magazine & Sport Compact Car. At least these guys are still going strong here. Mr.Cid
