What did I just see? 😃

I almost missed @catasy_935z at Wekfest but caught it rolling out. It almost looks like a concept car, but in reality… it’s a Nissan 350Z (Z33) that rocks a Porsche-style slant-nose up front, while the rear wears genuine OEM continuous LED taillights from the current-gen 992. Other cool things to notice are the aggressive fenders, side skirts and hatch, which all needed to be reworked to accommodate the tails. The side mirrors have also been deleted (I’m told cameras have been installed and hidden in the fenders so the driver can still see). I get that “it’s still a 350Z”… but the creativity and execution of this project by Custom Produce A.BASE is pretty gnarly! 🤙

Can you spot the details on @a1espino’s 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4?

The Obvious:
🩶 Nardo Gray respray from the Audi palette
🛞 BBS E88 wheels + Toyo R888R tires
🥌 Brembo big brakes + Recaro seats
🏎️ H&R coilovers + Eibach sway bars

The Not-So-Obvious
🪒 Shaved wipers – so subtle and pure gangsta!
💪 Akrapovic titanium exhaust – made for a 991 GT3, retrofitted by Wisecraft
👌 Rollcage wrapped in leather to match custom upholstery
🚘 OEM glass + third brake light swapped from a 993

There’s tons more cool details that I’m totally forgetting, which is why it’s easily one of the dopest air-cooled 911s around! His style and choice of parts also reflect his deep SoCal car roots, not to mention, he also worked at American Honda for over 20 years! 🙌

The 911 was showcased at the @momentsnotice______ exhibition and pop-up where LA artists and influencers were able to get a taste of the imagination and passion that goes into a masterpiece like Aaron’s immaculate 964. 👨‍🎨

🇮🇩 Wildest build in Southeast Asia right now is this VR38-swapped, Vertex-kitted S15 Silvia… and it runs! 🥲

👯‍♂️ The R35-powered Silvia comes from @garageone.id and is built by @xs.automotive. I’ve known the builder Victor Joe from back in the day in Seattle. His FD RX-7 was a part of Team Menace and also featured in Super Street in 2001. He opened up his shop in Indonesia in 2011, and it’s become the go-to spot for all things high performance and JDM in the country.

🏎️ I’ve seen this particular GT-R swap on a S13 and R32, but this is my first time peeping it on an S15. The VR38DETT has been beefed up with rods, pistons and cams. Should make around 600hp once tuned. It still retains the original 6-speed manual, which @larry_chen_foto had the pleasure to testing it out and says it’s better than expected. 

🏆 The judges and I unanimously named this Silvia the most “Elite Build” of @theelite_id. People would go nuts for this car back in the States. Will probably never make it that far but hopefully it’ll find its way to Tokyo Auto Salon once complete! 🤞

When the Porsche gang rolls out of Wekfest 🎌 These guys know their shit and their wheel specs. 🤓 Especially like @dai_1008 on rebarrelled BBS LMs, the 964 on Speedlines and @nyanstagram_xx Suzuka-based 993 track car! 🤗🫶

Banger Builds of Wekfest LA 🔥

1. From Regas to MF10s, @jvillaruz’s 997 goes Mugen with matching steering wheel. Looks pretty hard especially when I finally saw it in person with them meaty NT01s 🙌
2. Absolute masterpiece from the @ats.garage camp – @jay1enc’s EK hatch 🏆
3. 1,000hp, Millennium Jade Mk4 Supra on polished LMs with semi-shaved bay… Incredible work and vision @sean.steez 👏
4. Matching beauties – @accessgarage’s yellow EK9 and NSX, both on Sprint Hart CPR wheels 👯‍♀️
5. @hakogtx RB25-powered 240Z painted the same silver paint and rockin’ the same Speed Forme aero like his Hako 🎌
6. Roll-out B-roll leading off with @speedelement_devin R34 GT-R from the Bay 🌉
7. More Mugen mayhem with @jnepo’s M3, including S1 seats, which he originally owned! 🍣
8. Bummed no more Meisters, but I’ll learn to love these TEs just as much @lfvsupreme 😉
9. Two of the sexiest EKs today… Hi @ek_teddy 🙋‍♂️
10. First time seeing this KA turbo S13 on gold 18” LMs 👌
11. GR86 Rally Legacy Concept will be on display at @bowls (for a limited time only!) 🍜

This was my third Wekfest event that I attended this year and it didn’t disappoint in terms of quality. Was also nice to see a decent amount of cars from PacNW, NorCal and San Diego, plus bumping into familiar faces from Canada, Hawaii and the East Coast. Until next year Wekfest! 🤗🏁

It doesn’t just look but sounds like a Honda… 🏎️🎌🇩🇪

The @brocksbuild Spoon Sports-themed E36 3-Series was easily the most controversial build of Wekfest, but… also the most daring! At first, I wasn’t a huge fan as the blue and yellow livery of one of world’s most recognized Honda tuners doesn’t quite look at home on a BMW 🥲, but as I got up close and saw the extent of the work done to the engine bay and interior, it’s pretty badass, and unlike most SEMA cars, it starts and runs! 👏 

🏎️ RB1 Absolute K24A engine sourced from an Odyssey; built with CP pistons, Manley rods, ARP bolts
💪 When fully tuned via Haltech ECU and Rywire harness, will make 500hp with Precision turbo setup
🛞 Not just a livery, the wheels and brake calipers are authentic Spoon parts
🌻 Wish I grabbed more pics of the interior and Tilton setup but it’s all yellow inside including Sparcos
🏆 The #e36k24 took home “Best Engineering” at Wekfest Japan 2025. Congrats Nakano-san!

The Perfect Black Mk4 Supra Does Exist 🖤

🎌 No crazy aero, no stickers, no air suspension… just ultra-clean, street-style and timeless looks that make Toyota’s iconic RWD and 2JZ-powered sports car that much better.
🛞 @jirou_kyouei’s build has been around for awhile now, but he switched up his wheels this year from BBS RS to three-piece Panasport Racing G7-C5C2s. These wheels were popular in road racing back in the ‘80s and ‘90s. It’s cool to see ‘em make a comeback with this very minimalistic yet flawless JZA80. Please don’t change anything! 🥲👌
➕ Also at Wekfest, gotta give props to @mido_taka_19gs. Over the last five years, his grey Supra has progressed step-by-step as he does all the work himself in his garage, from the 2JZ-GTE VVTi swap (sourced from an Aristo), tucked engine bay, R35 GT-R big brake retrofit (wild!), and TRUST single turbo upgrade. 👏

Japan makes me want to buy a Nissan project car 🫣🎌

This is only a fraction of the dope Nissan/Datsun builds that were on display at Wekfest. The show lived up to my expectations as I got to see the best of every JDM dream car imaginable, in particularly from the Nissan family. Not just talking Godzillas, but it was a solid turnout of non-GTR Skylines, Fairlady Zs and S-chassis.
Some of my favs included @t_u344door 500hp Skyline 25GT-V (sick shaved bay and rebarrelled BBS RS), @masaru2236 180SX, @s.k.kouji R31 on AVS wheels, @7_20_100 300ZX and @kazu_____521 black R34 four-door on BBS Impul M1 wheels (I need a set, in fact, I need this car! 🥲).
It’s been two weeks since Wekfest Japan and still have so many dope cars I want to share with you. Hopefully y’all ain’t tired, cause I’m not! 🤓🏁

The most unlikely wheels on a Honda 🥲
I remember losing my mind four years ago when @kazuki_madlane posted this Integra on BBS Bugatti wheels. Looks just as dope in person!
The DC2 had to go through a good amount of work to get the final look and fitment just right with modified knuckles, shorter-travel @prazis.japan air struts and other suspension tweaks.
As for the wheels, they’re originally two-piece but rebarrelled to three-piece. Looks like it’s also running adapters to accommodate the 5x120 bolt pattern as this car was originally 4x100.
Many Honda and JDM guys will hate this look, but I really dig its rare wheel setup and of course Euro flava. 😇

Rally-bred Easter egg found at @r2xpo 🐰🪺

Most people visiting @nyautoshow would walk right past this 1995 Ford Escort RS Cosworth, but it’s probably the dopest and most rare Euro there!

🏎️ The Cosworth was a homologation special for FIA Group A, where the race version claimed victories in WRC by drivers like Carlos Sainz and Tommi Mäkinen.
📋 About 7,000 production cars were made from 1992 to 1996 – assembled in Germany, and never sold in the US.
👌 Owner @east_coast_cossie keeps things OEM+ with factory-styled 18” wheels, Morette twin headlights and carbon accents.
🔧 2.0L turbo originally pushed 224hp/224 lb-ft; however, this one’s 400hp thanks to a bigger Garrett turbo, fueling upgrades and a Mongoose exhaust. 
☑️ Black Art Design coilovers and AP Racing big brakes finish the short list of mods. 

In all my travels, I rarely get to see Escort Cosworths, let alone a beautiful example like this one! 👏

We took over a gas station in Japan! 🤭⛽️

If you’ve ever come across a cute little ENEOS station on your feed, then you’ve already had the pleasure of meeting @gs.miatas and his wife @gs.minnie. 

Who They Are 🏡
Opened nearly 60 years ago by Issei-san’s grandfather, this family-run gas station found new life when Issei and his wife picked up a camera and began documenting daily life.

How They Blew Up 💥
The power couple built a global following through their series “POV: You stopped at a gas station in Japan,” giving us a look at JDM car culture while also teaching us gaijins some “Japanglish” translations.

Where It’s Located 📍
ENEOS Senriyama SS is in Suita City, about 45 mins north of central Osaka. It’s a tiny station tucked inside a quiet neighborhood. I personally dig its clean aesthetic with ceiling-mounted hoses and also the old school uniforms!

Let’s Go Osaka 💡
@jdmwong came up with the idea to collaborate with them on an @eneosusa video featuring the @exceed_jpn EK4 and @stickydiljoe EG6 Civics. Of course I was down to go… 🫠

Why This Is Dope 🎌
I’ve been part of many shoots in Japan, but this one stood out — not only for having an entire gas station as our set, but for teaming up with local creators who transformed an everyday job into something JDM car enthusiasts from around world genuinely love. 🫶

Most Ferrari owners wouldn’t dare modify a classic, but @sin.ce.day.one is built different! 🙌

In 2018, I had the pleasure of publishing Ryan Dandurand’s ‘98 F355 Berlinetta when Larry Chen shot the feature for the mag. I pushed to get it on the cover, but the idea was shot down by the powers that be because it was a Rari… 🫠
Regardless, I never got a chance to meet Ryan (who’s naturally a Toyota guy 👯‍♂️) or check out his car in person until last Sunday at @midnightrevup Calgary. 🇨🇦
Let me just say that it did not disappoint! It feels like something built in Japan with an ode to time attack, while the fit, finish and flow of the modifications are flawless. Super glad I was able to make it out to Alberta to see it; however, I hope he’ll bring it stateside again for the rest of us to enjoy. 🤗

What’s Stock:
🐴 3.5L V8 (375hp) might just be the best-sounding Ferrari engine ever made!
📍 Before paddle shifters, the gated six-speed manual is what dreams were made of…
🇮🇹 One of the last OG Ferrari designs by Pininfarina with pop-up headlights and those sexy dual side vents

What’s Not:
🎌 Custom 5x108 Work Meister S1R wheels, M-Tecnologia Japan carbon aero and Rize Japan carbon canards
🐎 Ferrari Challenge parts include the bumpers, carbon mirrors, engine mounts, dampers, bushings, rotors and steering wheel
🏎️ Sings like an F1 car with Fabspeed headers ‘n carbon air boxes, Capristo test pipes and Tubi exhaust
👌 Finishing touches: Rosso Corsa red respray, H&R lowering springs and Recaro Pole Position seats

New RAV4 channelin’ its inner 4Runner ✨⛰️

Had the opportunity to go muddin’ in the 2026 RAV4 Woodland, and I was surprised what it could do. 😳
Note: It’s definitely not a body-on-frame truck with off-road suspension, low-range gearing, crawl control, or underbody armor — but I did manage to get it up and down a few tricky hills most people would never expect an everyday RAV4 could do. 🤙

🦈 Front-end design has some 4Runner vibes (Rigid LED grille lights are added, too)
🛞 Standard AWD with Dunlop Grandtrek A/T tires for extra traction — and a touch more ground clearance
🎥 Like the 4Runner, it’s got cams that help check for obstacles in front and near the wheels
🏎️ Can be spec’d with the 320hp plug-in hybrid powertrain used in the GR Sport
🪨 Urban Rock Grey paint is exclusive to the Woodland — kinda has TRD Pro Cement resemblances

The Woodland trim isn’t anything new for Toyota — first appeared on the Sienna (which I always felt was a stretch 🫣). But on the RAV4, it actually makes a whole lotta sense as a capable little overland rig, but a bit more comfy/practical than the 4Runner. 🤓🏕️

New RAV4 channelin’ its inner 4Runner ✨⛰️ Had the opportunity to go muddin’ in the 2026 RAV4 Woodland, and I was surprised what it could do. 😳 Note: It’s definitely not a body-on-frame truck with off-road suspension, low-range gearing, crawl control, or underbody armor — but I did manage to get it up and down a few tricky hills most people would never expect an everyday RAV4 could do. 🤙 🦈 Front-end design has some 4Runner vibes (Rigid LED grille lights are added, too) 🛞 Standard AWD with Dunlop Grandtrek A/T tires for extra traction — and a touch more ground clearance 🎥 Like the 4Runner, it’s got cams that help check for obstacles in front and near the wheels 🏎️ Can be spec’d with the 320hp plug-in hybrid powertrain used in the GR Sport 🪨 Urban Rock Grey paint is exclusive to the Woodland — kinda has TRD Pro Cement resemblances The Woodland trim isn’t anything new for Toyota — first appeared on the Sienna (which I always felt was a stretch 🫣). But on the RAV4, it actually makes a whole lotta sense as a capable little overland rig, but a bit more comfy/practical than the 4Runner. 🤓🏕️ #toyota #rav4 #rav4woodland #toyotarav4
Rega Royalty🫅

5 years ago I featured @jvillaruz 2006 Porsche Carrera S when he showed the world just how dope Regamaster wheels can look on a 997. The sexiness of his car is what influenced me to #regatheworld myself. Some more juicy spec:

🛞 18x9.5” front, 18x12” rear Desmond Regamaster EVO II wheels in Gloss White (filled, redrilled, widened, oh my!)
💥 Custom Wisecraft headers and symmetrical exhaust + Fabspeed carbon intake and IPD plenum 
🏎️ GT3 front bumper, fender flares, and a Cup lip (thank goodness these things are plastic!)
🙅‍♂️ No air ride suspension but rolls on coilovers
💺 Double-stitched buttery red leather interior including Recaro Pole Position seats
🏁 8-point color-matched rollcage from GMG Racing

Thank you Jessy for being a part of last Friday’s @momentsnotice______ art exhibit and pop-up. The white-on-white lit up the night! 🤩✨

GR86 + AWD + Turbo 🚀

Exactly one year ago, the GR86 Rally Legacy Concept by @ogmonger & @evasivemotorsports broke cover at SEMA — and now, for the next few weekends, it’ll be on display at @bowls! 🎌

👨‍🏫 What Ya Need to Know 👨‍🔧
Not just a Castrol livery with quad lights and mud flaps… Underneath is the 300hp 1.6L 3-cyl turbo + AWD system from the GR Corolla — including the hubs, axles, spindles, and diff, all integrated to run like factory. Custom fab work was needed for the subframe, engine mounts, control arms, rollcage, and exhaust. And of course, industry support came strong via @astmotonsuspension coilovers, @sparcousa seats + steering wheel and @evstuning mirrors.

Rally was never of a super popular here in the States, but there are some WRC icons that hit home to many of us that played endless hours of Gran Turismo. The GR86 Rally Legacy Concept absolutely kills when it comes to paying homage to the Celica GT-Four of the ‘90s (and I always felt this engine would make a whole lot of sense in the GR86 👻). 👏

After its final stint in Little Tokyo, I’ll be looking forward to see this thing hit the track now that it’s properly tuned and doesn’t need to look pretty anymore. 🤡🏁

Where the legend of the Toyota AE86 still thrives! 🎌

Still have some of my top builds of Wekfest Japan to share. Many of them just happen to be old Toyotas. 🥲 I was never an Initial D fan growin’ up, but I do love me a good Hachiroku! All of these cars share a commonality in tasteful aero/styling and very tidy 4A-GE engine bays. 👏

🏎️ Published a feature of @e.prime_daito 300hp track car in 2017; still dope AF!
🍓 Yoshiki Ogusu’s red SR-5 painted BMW Imola Red on BBS RS might be my fav
🩱 @56_56_vr6 AE85 Levin is super clean with a wire tuck and Watanabes
🦍 Auto Stage Miyoshi widebody with 15” TE37Vs by @ebichan_ae86
🐼 Incredible fab and body work by Inazuma Worx featured on @zubon_kun

Far from an ordinary rotary. The scoop behind @yifd3s 1993 Mazda RX-7 💥
 
Under the Hood
🦾 13B twin-turbo ditched for a ported 20B three-rotor NA setup
⚙️ Engine rebuilt by Lucky 7 - new housings with side-cut machining and high-compression rotors
👨‍🔧 Fab and assembly work by SpeedTech including header and exhaust
 🎺 Individual throttle bodies from EFI Hardware of Australia
⛽️ 300hp on pump gas - conservative tune via Haltech 2500ECU 

Special Sauce
🛞 18x9.5/10.5” ET18 Regamasters are OG Marquis Promada spec (features mini step lip), forged in Russia sometime during the ‘90-00’s
🍦 Shaved engine bay is legit with all unnecessary brackets and holes removed, wire tuck, power steering converted to electric, relocated battery and more
🪒 Exterior is semi-shaved with deleted front and rear wipers, side markers and antenna 

OEM+JDM
🏎️ MazdaSpeed GT-C front is the holy grail of RX-7 bumpers; also has R-spec rear spoiler
🎌 Ganador mirrors, Project Mu brakes, RE Amemiya rear diffuser, FEED side skirts
💺 RCS bucket seat from Recaro Japan (need these for my Supra!)
🕰️ AiM dash installed while retaining factory instrumental cluster

Behind the Builder 
I met Yifan in person for the first time last month before our road trip to @midnightrevup Calgary, but we’ve been Rega buddies for 5 or so years now. 👯‍♀️ 
He’s quite the diehard Mazda guy having owned 4 FDs and 3 FCs; however, this US-spec RX-7 has put him and his shop @sub60racing on the map. 👊
Yifan was an art/design student before falling in love with cars, which explains his very polished style towards his builds, not to mention the impeccable tidiness and feng shui of his shop. 
It’s probably the most flawless garage I’ve visited in North America (could drink boba off the floors! 🧋). Crazy to think he and and his biz partner @1am_lili still wrench on customer cars everyday, from bolt-ons and wheel/tire fitting to more intensive installs and full project car transformations, all while maintaining its immaculate aesthetic. 🤗🇨🇦

@zumi_jza80 is the definition of a dope JDM Supra. 🏎️🎌
After fitting the Ridox widebody, TRD wing and 18x10/11.5” Volk Racing TE37SL wheels a couple years ago, his JZA80 has been one of the most posted and reshared Supra builds on social media. 👏
What I like is that he represents a younger generation of car enthusiasts in Japan (only 23 years old! 👶), and his Mk4 isn’t just pretty to look at, but built for the track (already driven at Tsukuba) with 650+hp, HKS turbo+coilovers, Endless brakes and A050 tires. Many props to the young cat and glad I was able to catch his car at Wekfest! 👌🤍

What it’s like pullin’ into an underground photoshoot with the cleanest FD RX-7 everrr! 🥶

🏎️ @yifd3s 1993 Mazda RX-7 
🔧 20B three-rotor swap with ITBs
🛞 18” Desmond Regamaster MP wheels
🇯🇵 Mazdaspeed GTC front bumper & much more!

During my short visit to Alberta, I attended a show/meet/photoshoot hosted by @sleeper.magazine at a parking garage in downtown Edmonton. There’s an oversaturation of car events every weekend no matter where you live, so organizers are gettin’ creative to set themselves apart, in this instance, offering a drive-up photobooth. 
I didn’t get to check out the Peaches event at Tokyo Auto Salon but I feel this was inspired by it. Definitely a vibey (almost ravey) atmosphere, which made for incredible photo ops, and it sure helped to have Yifan’s FD as a demo car. 😁🇨🇦🙌
