February 22, 2016 ndubs77 Leave a comment

The Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota GT86 are all basically the same car underneath. A popular fun machine at an affordable price is an appealing thing, and they’ve sold pretty well.

Most car enthusiasts will wind up wanting to modify and upgrade their cars, tailoring its experience for their own personal tastes. There are many ways to go about modifying a Toyobaru 86 variant. This is my own take and advice on the best way to go about modifying the car intelligently and cost-effectively.

Mercedes G63 AMG Monster Truck at First Class Fitment

The Mercedes G63 comes from the factory as a fast, off-road-capable SUV, but for this owner, it clearly wasn’t enough.

Jay Leno Drives This Custom JDM Datsun Sunny

January 29, 2016 ndubs77 Leave a comment

This is a classic Datsun Sunny 1200 pickup and it is a JDM wet dream.

It has a custom front clip, made to look like an original Skyline GT-R, and it has an SR20DET engine under the hood with a big ass turbo on it. In terms of “cool,” this Datsun is just dripping with it, and once again, Jay Leno proves he’s probably the luckiest guy on Earth.

Enjoy!

Stanced Mitsubishi Lancer Evo at First Class Fitment

January 22, 2016 ndubs77 Leave a comment

This Mitsubishi Evo was clean as hell. It looked a lot like that ridiculous Time Attack Evo from Forza Motorsport 3 that may have been the cause of a broken controller.

I’m not sure exactly what mods were done to this car, but it looks like one of those deadly Evos that might just be able to embarrass some pompous fool in a Ferrari.

Either way, it’s level of stance was on point for me. It’s low and flush enough to look great, but there’s still a little bit of room for the suspension to move.

The one question I really want to know, though, is:

Is that wing really functional for the car’s performance?

Enjoy the photos!

Slammed Chevy Corvair at First Class Fitment

January 20, 2016 ndubs77 Leave a comment

It may be unsafe at any speed, but this Chevy Corvair looks damn good just sitting still. Fully customized with some rustic treatment on the body panels and a set of contrasting clean wheels, this Corvair had a unique flavor about it. Among the sea of spotless show cars at First Class Fitment this year, it definitely stood out as an island unto itself.

Well done!

Slammed BMW M6 Convertible at First Class Fitment

January 6, 2016 ndubs77 Leave a comment

This slammed BMW M6 V10 Convertible was the first car that caught my eye this year at First Class Fitment. Even before I was inside the show, I shot it through the fence.

It was an immaculately done car, with a beautiful color combo, and some fine detail work.

Enjoy!

Softcore Anime Porno Nissan S14 Drift Car comes RB26 equipped

December 9, 2015 ndubs77 1 Comment

By far my favorite car at First Class Fitment this year, this S14 Nissan 240SX drift car is an epic trollmobile.

On the road, a drift car is a very anti-social thing. And nothing will top off the anger from a minivan full of traditional family values, as you fly past in a hail of tire smoke, like a little softcore Anime porn on the side of your car to make the kids ask awkward questions.

What’s more, this thing has an RB26DETT under the hood (Skyline GTR motor for those who don’t know). That means that in terms of 240SX drift cars, this thing is pretty much a god.

A solid build, topped with some hilarious character. This has to be one of my favorite modded cars I’ve ever seen, of any type. And how about that shift knob?

Enjoy the pics!

Stanced Mitsubishi Evo at First Class Fitment

November 24, 2015 ndubs77 1 Comment

This very clean red Evo caught my attention at First Class Fitment. It seemed to have just the right amount of camber for my taste, and I love that deck lid spoiler.

A really well done car, overall!

Crazy Dodge Dart Spotted outside First Class Fitment

November 20, 2015 ndubs77 Leave a comment

We found this insane Dodge Dart in the parking lot of First Class Fitment. I’m not exactly sure what its fancy wrap is supposed to be (digital camo or something?) but it certainly catches the eye.

Save for its massive non-functional shopping cart spoiler, I really liked this Dart’s style.

Well done!

Lexus IS-F Modification and Tuning Guide (UPDATED)

November 18, 2015 ndubs77 3 Comments

So I’m considering the possibility of purchasing a Lexus IS-F in the next few months, and I’ve been doing a lot of research. (I guess I was just inspired by the Lexus RC-F I recently reviewed) In addition to looking into the car’s seemingly stellar long term quality and reliability, I’ve been checking out what sort of extra performance can be extracted from it with upgrades.

Now, the stock IS-F may well be enough for me, but it’s always nice to know how much more power I could have should I want it. So here’s what I’ve found…

There were plenty of awesome Japanese performance cars at First Class Fitment 2015, including two Nissan Skylines and a few FD Mazda RX7s, among others. It was a nice slice of JDM heaven with a little extra stance sprinkled on top.

Enjoy our highlights from the Land of the Rising Sun!

Subaru Highlights From First Class Fitment

November 2, 2015 ndubs77 Leave a comment

Many different makes of cars were represented at First Class Fitment this year, but Subarus are near and dear to my heart. As a WRX STI owner for the last 9 years, I enjoy being a part of the Subaru community, and I never miss doing the “Subie Wave.”

While my own car is not stanced, I do enjoy how Imprezas and Foresters looked when they’re done up right. These photos are my are my favorite Subarus from the show this year.

Enjoy!
