Usually I spent my Saturdays with the girlfriend or at the local shop, who’s owned by 2 good friends and their dad.
Since I first had to pick some things up, I was there when most of the locals already went to the beach… But the small parking lot still had a few cars left.
This is where most of my friends cars are being modified and where new friends are made.
Usually that occurs when someone orders something at their shop and it is being fitted at a Saturday. That is when the magic happens. I dropped by about 3 years ago still being fresh and new to the scene and with a broken engine. Two weeks later, new engine and good to go to France. This place just injects you with this virus of Honda-love and the thrill of a good handling and fast car.
One of the cars in their garage is this fine example of a DC5 Integra Type-R.
Because we don’t have the LHD Acura RSX in Europe, the only way is to get you an JDM imported one. The owner did a good job finding one with some Mugen goodies and a Backyard special front bumper.
Another good example for the Honda love is this 3th Gen Honda Civic. It is as stock as you can find her in a very good and rust-free condition.
The picture above shows my good friend and salesman Martijn holding the new turbo + Manifold for an new project boosting an R34 GTT Skyline from the stock horses up to the 400 bhp.
And last but least, here is the colorful hood of my mechanic’s CRX.
Since the car still had the 2001 Fast and The Furious styling, we had to put on some stickers.
I Hope you guys enjoyed the weekend ? I sure did and next week we’ll have a somewhat bigger Honda meeting in Holland, So expect more.
Here’s a sample of my recent work:
Got called over to Jackie’s place this evening for an install party on his front and rear camber arms. Being replaced with buddyclub’s.
Well after a while of standing around, we all decided to get to work. First we had to grind off his rear bolts because they were seized up to the bushing. Next thing, JC, Punit and I finished off the fronts pretty quick. Gangsterrr
No other pics until it’s complete.
It’s coming along quick now! Look out for a photoshoot!
Me grinding the passenger side bolt/bushing
The gang
Finished pulling the fenders with Prashant yesterday.. shieeettt
Getting off the driveway.. haha had to get pics
The rain yesterday was a pretty nice change from the snow that we’ve been having. Ironic because we just went through the snowfall warning of 10-20cm overnight. Calgary weather is so messed up.
Anyways, I decided to do a quick rain shoot with any lots that were nearby because I got kind of bored.
On another note, Driven is only 2 weeks away!! oh em gee
No shots of the front cause it’s not ready yet 😀 haha
A random shot of my car at the warehouse while Punit was doing his swap. I really liked how the angle and everything turned out in this shot.. even though the car is dirty.
For those that are wondering, the wing is not on because I’m getting the carbon trunk re-tapped. Hopefully it’ll be on soon! But with this sucky ass weather, I’m not in a big hurry.
Prashant sent some pics over that he took when we were on our way to Peter’s. The shots turned out TOO sick. All the shots that Prashant has taken of my car has always ended up being dope. Hopefully he’ll post up the rest of the rolling shots of the others soon.
I think we need to get into some videography with his HD mode…
Prashant sent these pictures my way and so I decided to post em up for some eye candy. If only Calgary roads were like Cali’s…
Going through some old pictures from 09 track days and found this beaut. A snap of Jackie’s S2000 near the end of the day with the sun setting and he’s still one of the only ones out there. Thought you guys would all enjoy this pic
