In Japan at the moment, it’s really hot, I mean really hot. When I had a look at the news today, it said that for 45 days, the temp hasn’t dropped below 30 degrees in most areas of Japan. If you think 30 is a hot day, wait until you feel 30+ for consecutive days,… Read More Project Kouki: Cooling Cooling Cooling
It’s been about a year since I completed V1 of Project Kouki. Over the New Years break, I decided to start buying up parts to refresh the car. With the snow in Japan, it’s hard to run the car low, therefore I had it at monster truck height and had some snow tyres on. Come… Read More Project Kouki: V2 Completed
When I first purchased ‘Project Kouki’ in Japan it came with a few good modifications. It did, however, also come with some not so good ones.

Casually just chilling in an underground car park, meeting some new people, thinking this is way too similar to The Fast and the Furious movies, when something makes my day. I’d seen it on the internet, it had been featured on Speedhunters, now it was right in front of my eyes, only metres away! The… Read More Spotlight Feature: Rocket Bunny V2 Boss S14
After shooting Takashi-sans’s cool whips, we headed to another area of Kobe, a more industrial area. It was a ghost town, hardly anyone to be seen anywhere. On the way to the location we started following this pretty sick S13, turns out he was actually going to the same place, how cool! Upon arrival in… Read More Kobe Night Meeting
The age old argument with our generation: Form vs Function. It’s a forever raging battle between the elite and purests of the automotive world and one that we will not conclude today. Instead I want to focus on a different sort of battle. A battle between the brave and the shy, the fluoro and the… Read More Blend In or Stand Out
