GS400 LS1

Get ahold of Jay Pizarro's new ride. Every car he builds is top notch. He's been hanging around with the Fatlace crew for a long time now. I can't wait to see this in action soon!

the Roo ride

Roo from our WFC forum has been working on getting his fitment down. He's done a great job of keeping his S13 clean too. It's not the common beater status you see so many S13's looking like these days. He recently swapped his CA18 for a SR20 also.

I really love these things. I eat them as often as I can, but I would seriously eat them once a day if I could. They come in a bunch of meat and veggie options also.




Whoa!! Oullim Motors Spirra!!!

The Spirra is a Korean supercar built by Oullim Motors and sold through Proto Motors since 2007. The original Spirra had a mid-mounted 320 hp 4.6-liter Ford Modular V8 -- essentially a mustang cobra motor. However, once Oullim took over, the American muscle was dropped in favor of a force inducted Hyundai V6. Specifically the 2.7-liter Delta unit out of the Tiburon.

When hooked to a supercharger, the Spirra S makes 400 hp. Not bad at all. However, when a turbocharger gets involved the Spirra Turbo generates a whopping and impressive 500 hp. Looks like there is a replacement for displacement, no? A supercar needs this sort of thrust, especially when it's going to tangle with the aforementioned big dogs of the Italian persuasion. And here's the kicker -- the Spirra only weighs about 2,200 pounds. The Power to Weight ratio is insane!!

Mega Matsuri little tokyo

I drove from west LA to downtown LA again this weekend to check out showoff cafe’s Mega Matsuri car show. I really like the idea of the event. Bring together import car old and new, ruckus owners, bike riders, and merge everything together with the lifestyle stuff we enjoy. I think with a little better planning this event will be pretty good next year. This year it was a little dry. It had everything you wanted to see, but you wanted to see alot more of it.

the 430tq monster

This kid just doesn't stop. I was able to drive this car for about 30 minutes yesterday, and it made my 300whp STI feel like poop. He's got it dialed in extremely well. The wheels were just fitted yesterday by Apollo performance in Upland, CA. The specs are 18x9.5 +38 with 265/35/18 tires. It will be coming down another inch very soon also.

VIPME

Here's a recent shot of VIPME's LS430. I've always had a special place in my heart for VIP cars. I'd love to have one for a daily. I believe he just added new barrels to the front rims to complete the total package.

gymkhana STI

Here's the current Top Scoob winner on Nasioc. I like everything about it. I only wish we got some turbo model Imprezas during those years. I can appreciate a car like this that makes full use of all 4 wheels.

BK 2.0 Theta x S15 hybrid

Apparently after some issues with SR20's they opted for a 2.0t theta out of the new Genesis Coupe. The entire setup including tranny and ecu were carried over.

ASB 2009

Ziptied All Star bash was a blast! We hung with Risky Devil crew from Chicago all weekend, and Mark from Fatlace was there to capture some of the action. It was hot like fire in the high desert!
