iM Shop Spotlight: J’s Racing

January 30, 2012iM Shop Spotlight, J's Racing, Japan, Tokyo Auto SalonLeave a comment

In recent years J’s Racing popularity has gone through the roof. Their products are distributed through many North American distributors now and slightly easier (minus the wait times) to get into your hands and onto your car. Also attributed to their popularity would be the current trend to build track ready cars with track inspired parts. Whether that’s your thing or not, the quality of J’s parts can’t be denied. First up we have the J’s Racing CRZ. Galen wasn’t able to get too much information out of the J’s crew but he did learn that they’ve up’d the compression [...]

Next us on our Japan Shop Spotlights we have Honda tuners Feel’s & Seeker and also a quick stop at K.Break. | Feel’s: First up is Feel’s who had their street & track CTR’s on display. If I owned an 8th gen civic I think that there would be lots of Feel’s areo finding its way onto the car. Love the widebody fenders on these two. More Feel’s pictures can be found on our Flickr page HERE | Seeker: Unfortunately there wasn’t anyone at Seeker that spoke any english so it was just a quick stop checking out their parking [...]

iM Random Snaps: Stanceworks Limbo Contest

January 21, 2012iM Random Snaps, StanceworksLeave a comment

Mid-way through winter, I always find myself looking through albums upon albums trying to relapse what happened during the beautiful summer months. It doesn’t seem like that long ago the sun was shining high in the sky, and there were car shows at least every single weekend. One of my most memorable shows I went to last season was the Stanceworks and Waterwerks show down in Tacoma WA. One of the most interesting aspects of the show was the limbo contest. Here are a few random snaps that never made it in my original article.

Going to jump into some more coverage of a some other cars that caught my eye. First up, and now that I’ve been through the pics several times this is probably my favorite car of the show…. the Greddy X BenSopra GTR. I would agree that the aero is way over the top but what the hell, why not. One piece front end, rear bumper mounted GT wing, crazy widebody fenders and vents everywhere haha. Go big or go home. With the aero kit running a staggering 3,500,000 JPY ($46,000 CAD) and the wing another 500,000 JPY ($6,500 CAD) to [...]

Today we’re going take a quick look at some the more popular manufacturer booths that were at the show. Also this is only a small portion of the booths/products on display, figured I keep it limited to some of the more recognizable names. Getting started with Work Wheels. They dropped their new Meister S1R & M1R wheels last year which they had on display in their various color/finish options. Also looks like they’re offering the Meister in truck fitment. They also had their Equip line of wheels on display. Wish I had a car to rock those Meister CR-01′s (bottom [...]

Here we go with part 2 of our TAS 2012 coverage. Still having a hard time picking what to post as there so much I think you guys will like. Going to save all the product/wheel stuff for one day next week and probably will have a weird/wild/crazy car post sometime next week as well. There’s plenty of odd stuff over in Japan that is cool to see. Gonna start with one of my favorites from the first batch of pictures… the Mugen RR CRZ concept car. Not only did they have the orange one that has been all over [...]
