The One and Only

Mez once again brings us some killer footage of some of the best sideways action here in Australia. This video is the footage of the one and only Drift Australia Championship Round, due to sponser issues, the normal season was not able to be run, so they let it all boil down to one day for a champion to be crowned.

None other than Luke Fink took the day out, cementing himself as one of the best guys to come 'sideways' out of Australia. The event was held at the infamous Oran Park, which unfortunately is going to suffer the same fate as many other tracks do in Australia, being sold off for land development, so it was one of the last times a big name event would be held there. It is such a shame that our government cares nothing for the automotive community, even with all the money that is available in the scene.

Lose 4...Gain More

I have a lot of good mates in the car scene, coming from all walks of models, but mainly all following one style, and that style is dope haha. A really good friend of mine Alex, loves his wheels, more so than most. So much so that he has owned in the 2 or so years I have known him, around 8 sets which is pretty crazy.

Anyway cutting to the chase, he recently decided to sell his white Black Racing's to a good friend of his Trav, I haven't met Trav but when Alex sent me the shots of his old wheels on Travs red Eg, I had to post it up. Trav has been building his Eg for over 5 years, watch this space for future updates on it.

Also check out how immaculate Trav's engine bay is, the little things make all the difference that is for sure. Things like braided clutch line (you can see it going to the slave cylinder on the gearbox) that gets rid of all the clutch hard lines, harnesses tucked in the fenders and the list goes on.


Of coarse Alex would not sell a set of wheels for no reason, so say hello to Alex's new shoes. They look amazing and are crazy rare being 16x8 and 16x7 with +25 offset. There is no doubt in my mind that Alex's little egg will appear on here a lot more often. Also stay tuned for a feature of his Eg in the near future.

All I Can Provide

Unfortunately since the CV on my car is still out of order so to speak, I was not able to drive to the Gavin Woods Auto Dyno Night that was held last night, these are known for the number of awesome cars showing up and laying down crazy figures then DRIVING home.

However my bud Sharpy went and took a few videos off his phone, I don't normally post "phone" videos on here but this is an exception as I feel you need to hear these monsters in action. Specifically NUT32R limiter bashing down the street, sounds like gun shots its that violent. The night had well over 6 cars pushing past the 600whp mark, which is quite ridiculous to say the least. The yellow S15 took the night out pushing 955rwhp, however the car has pretty mediocre parts on the exterior which lets it down considering the engine is such a monster.

Enjoy the sounds:

9 x 3

Ok so apart from being Math, it is also a play on words (numbers??). Triple 9 Automotive have been around for quite some time now, and are especially known for their Honda's. The owner Adam is a super nice guy, and a friend of mine so when he said they were having a BBQ and sale for Triple 9's 5th Anniversary I told him I was there for sure.

The turn out was quite good considering the weather was looking a little terrible in the morning of the event. However a lot of killer cars turned out to show support and just so the owners could shoot the shit and look at the sales that 999 were having on the day. Unfortunately Adam's mental Ek wasn't there, having previously pushed out 135fwkw on a dyno from a B20 frank it is such an awesome car. However being the sole proprietor of Top Fuel parts they had the Top Fuel DC5, famous for running 1min around the fabled Tsukuba, which is awesome to see in the flesh, however being able to tune the ECU is being a little tougher than the boys thought so it isn't running all to well.

Standouts for me on the day was of course Joe's EG, which he has now sold...*sighs*. Choung's purple Evo VI is always awesome to hear and see, and of course 999's 10KMU S14 is a prime example of how a Silvia should look. But when the H8LAG Evo rocked up, every ones jaws dropped, mine included, it is stunning in the flesh and the first time I had seen it but hopefully not the last.

All in all it was an awesome day out, and good fun spending time with all the boys, looking at some killer cars on a Sunday afternoon, barebque, cheap parts and a dyno made the day even better. Enjoy the shots.

Boosted eight-six

Joe's EG is amazing, one of the best examples getting around. However he decided to finally part with it and sold it a few weeks ago, going to miss seeing it out that is for sure.

The H8LAG Evo IX is really something else, those Rg's in that size and just the general tough stance of it make it probably one of the best looking Evo's in QLD.

Much to my dismay, this Eg was boosted...

A clean 33 GTS-T rocking some pretty decent offset, even if the wheels are fakes, at least people are testing the offset waters. Also is making some good power thanks to some choice bolt ons.

This un-assuming Evo 1 actually ran a 11.21@136mph down the quarter, wouldn't pick it would ya?

Choung's Evo VI has such a tough idle to it, thanks to some large cams. Also the 34 GTR set it off soo nicely.

If there is one thing us Aussies do well when modifying cars, its definitely imaginative plates.

34 GT-T rocking some big power.

The famous Top Fuel DC5 on show, check out the crazy cooling set up, boggles the mind, but hey it is proven.

White XD9's with some great offset and 360rwkw cement this S14 somewhere at the top of my list. This is the 10KMU S14 I mentioned above, just realised I didn't get any front on shots haha.

A Night To Remember

A good bud of mine told me he was putting together a little "highway cruise" as a kind of farewell of sorts for his R32 GTR. Of course I was as keen as mustard knowing that it could be the last time that the big bad DARE YA 32 GTR comes out again. As I mentioned in a previous post it is for sale, and Justin said he has a very keen buyer. So a fitting farewell cruise then.

Now I have always voiced that I stand by the old saying Quality > Quantity and it is definitely something that comes into practice even more so when you are organizing late night 'cruises' as the more cars that attend the more unwanted attention you attract, which you definitely do not want. So Justin put together around 8 - 10 cars for this cruise, I unfortunately did not get shots of every car due to people parking in non lit areas and others bailing early due to impending rain.

It was an awesome night, with DARE YA proving it was to much to handle for the other cars. Seeing a GTR slipping and sliding as it comes onto boost is by far one of the best things you can set your eyes on this side of boobs. Many cars attending deserve a mention, Gus aka WPN26 of course graces our pages once again. His new 4" exhaust sounds killer, the epically loud GTR burble is amazing to the ears. A quite subtle looking S14 going by the name of 90WER showed up and is easily the most violent car I have seen coming on boost, would be one hell of a ride in that thing, rumours are it is pushing past the 520rwhp mark. A orange S13 showed up, and it is a well known fact it no longer runs an SR but in fact a 1.5Jz and an apparent 550rwhp. Also there was an anonymous white supra that attended which I had never seen before, however I am told it makes around 290rwkw. Finnally how can we forget Brad's stunning S2000 'VTEC' , which never ceases to drop jaws when it is rolling past on the road.

All in all it was an awesome night, I only got a bunch of shots as I was driving on the night, munch munch nA S13s HAH! But did a quick shoot of Justin and Gus's cars together for possibly the last time. Enjoy the shots:

The mental S14 I was talking about before, unfortunately this is the only shot I got and it isn't even that good :(

Justins 32 at the second meeting spot.

The anonymous supra, making some decent power, however I am not a fan of the kit or exhaust. Not my car though.

Spur of the moment farewell photoshoot:

Few shots of Gus's car, just because we could haha

Both Blue beasts together for possibly the last time, definitely a sad sight.
