The Year That Was 2011

And so another year ends, and what a year it has been for me! I’ve travelled all over the country covering events, to different continents even! So I thought a little look back would be good First stop is back to Ross Mccracks Altezza Shoot in January February and Wallace Performance HQ Ghostly Murdo was busy welding away The first SXOC drift day was in March and there would be a few more throughout the year! Kinghorns impreza got a full shoot April brought the Granite City R

Elder’s R32 …….

For a change not a Nissan but a VW! Whats going on?!? I hear you cry, well this blog has never been just solely for JDM toys and it was about time I showed the non jap markets some love and with Ross selling his Golf i got in touch to get some snaps before it got to its new (lucky) owner! The R32 is the top of the line golf, outweighing the GTi by 1.2litres engine capacity and 70bhp, with its 3.2 litre 238bhp V6. It also incorporates the 4wd system from the Audi TT which mean

Chizfabs New BMW …………….

You may remember Kyle from Cizfab’s BMW 540 Skid car? Well he has sold it on along with his R32 skyline and opted for something a bit more lairy. The legendary BMW M3, this one being the 5 door model. Although the engine remains nearly standard, Kyle has replaced the restrictive standard exhaust for a one-off custom Chizfab stainless item and made sure the engine is well lubed with Valvoline race oil for high temperature operation. As for the handling, it has undergone a vas

For The Last Time This Year ………………………

The SXOC drift day We traveled early and met up with the Aberdeen guys and hit up Mc D’s as usual, Cam and Stu were Rolling through Dundee We got to crail, then the battle was on to change tyres and get out onto track John Fallon was out early in his R32 skyline, an awesome note could be heard from his shotgun exhaust, he had to finish kinda early due to having no tyres left, not a surprise really as you can see some mega destruction going on here Jites wasn’t gonna let the p

Blast From The Past!!

When I passed my driving test I purchased a Vauxhall Nova, it was super cool back in the day but was nothing to the daddy of all Vauxhalls at the time ….. the Cavalier GSI 2000. The current owner of this beauty is a guy called Morgan, I work with him daily and after a short term owning a VR6 Golf he decided to go back to his routes and a Cavalier was thee car to do it! Morgan had 3 in the past, to say he knows them pretty well would be a understatement! So only the best would

Supra Stars!

Never being a fan of the iconic MkiV Supra, I havent ever wanted one or even wanted to drive one. However after seeing Marc and Keiron’s Supras my opinion has changed somewhat! What do you expect though, Marc’s Supra is definitely working the Works Meisters. I can’t get enough of them They suit the car perfectly, giving Marc’s Supra a stylish/clean look The little tip carbon fibre boot spoiler adds to the cleanliness Keiron’s Supra rocks a full on TRD spoiler in carbon fibre

EDC and Show Area Knockhill Sunday 15th May

With the Time Attack out of the way, now its time to concentrate on the show cars and EDC. The EDC was going on in between the session of the Time Attack, it consists of qualifying and a final round. I didn’t pay much attention to the whole “competion” as it’s a bit of a farce IMO, however sideways cars is something you should never get bored of. Local driver Keiron Cameron and his V8 Ps13 were representing, the all yellow colour scheme makes it easy to pick out when twinning

Time Attack Round 2 Knockhill

Time Attack was back at Knockhill once again, the weather didn’t look too hot as I approached Knockhill from Aberdeen. I left at 6.30am, it’s not all that early but on a Sunday I think you will agree its early lol Once I was at Knockhill, I got my myself to race control to sign on for the day. The pits were alive with all the cars being prepared for the oncoming abuse. A Lot of the cars from last year have reappeared for this season, a few have had make overs, Bo Neilson’s As

Chizfab crew were out again getting some nice angle Our resident mintofruit was out in his mx5, always progressing Ryans chaser …………… awesome shame he had a problem on his second run which mean’t he couldn’t go back out Jites from http://www.jdmtas.com was

You have maybe seen some of the pictures floating about already on http://www.noonefresher.com and on facebook but here is the full shoot with no compromises …………………… Kighorns scooby has been around for a while, he got it back in 2008 and has spent a considerable amount on money pushing it to near perfection The ride height is perfect …. The styling is spot on ……. And the noise from this cannon is harrowing During the rolling shots I knew exactly where the car was at all time

Wallace Time Attack Evo Part 4 ……………

Well its been a while since i last brought you an update on how the strip/rebuild is going, this has been mainly to me working some overtime and not having the chance to head over to Wallace Performance but hey ho this update will be worth it! As you can see from the first picture, it now resembles a car once again The majority of running gear is back in place, the engine is being finished off and will be engine dyno’d before its shipped to Wallace HQ.

Ross Mccrackens Altezza has only been in the country a little while but it’s already on its way to greatness. First off you will notice the spotless white paint The awesome Work Emotions it sits on At the moment the works are the only modifications to happen to it since it left japan, but there are plans afoot for a supercharger and HSD coilovers. The Beams engine as mounted in all Altezza’s Lexus lights actually in the right place for once lol Kansai Service strut bar tops o

SXOC Drift Day 20/11/10

The last SXOC Drift Day of 2010 and a rather wet and cold one at that! I spent the whole day snapping, hiding from rain and having soaking wet feet lol But for the levels of skidding it was worth it! The day started with a 7.45am meet, followed by a leisurely drive down the A90 to Forfar for a MCd’s Here we met up with Cam Dunkz and Ryan and his JZX100 MkII, Awesomeness in true form! Then off to a wet Crail Once there alot of the drivers hard a hard time with the conditions
