It’s almost been a year since I’ve installed a set of super grippy and fat Toyo R1R’s onto my daily driver. Full review on Zen! Visit: http://www.zengarage.com.au/2016/03/toyo-r1r-review/

EOMMeetThePeople Feb 2016

The Mighty Car Mods guys did an interview style video at a JDMST EOMM years ago and it was awesome. Ved and I have decided to do something similar at every #EOMM from now on to capture the vibes and more importantly involve the community some more. We had a go at it at last Thursday night’s EOMM and it was a lot of fun! I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes.

PS: We’re using one of my loops in the video (the one behind the interviews). Yew!

Thumb Drift is out! Had fun providing these guys with a bit of consultation on development of the game. My GT-R is in it too, and it’s FREE! Find it in the App Store!

PS: if you want to play around with the model in 3D you can view these links:

I’m on fire! Another logo design! I designed the ClubITR logo a few years ago for Felix Alim. Felix is setting up a club for S2000 owners now so he reached out and asked for help. I’ve kept it in line with what I did for the ClubITR logo, that’s using the font for the actual S2000 badge (I had to make up the “K”).

Dropped in to Heasman Steering today to hang out with Ved who was installing KW V3’s on his MK1 GTI (new goods on old cars, so kinky!). There’s alway’s some heavy metal at Heasman’s, couldn’t help but rattle off a few shots!

Goodies from Import Bible! I love cars, but I’m not massive about wearing cars on my chest (hey I love cats too but I don’t own any crazy cat jumpers!), but I like Import Bible gear. Smart concepts for those who know, that kinda thing.

Love the heart breaker T, especially the subtle front print. Love the Gentleman’s Agreement T as it’s one of the first things you learn about the BNR32 when you’re on the hunt to know more about them.

Test Drive: Supercharged Widebody M3 for Motor Magazine

In 2013 I test drove the first widebody Vorsteiner GTRS for Motor Magazine. Ramspeed built the car (they also built my Supercharged R32 Golf). The first time I went to test drive it, the car wasn’t set up right; it was scrubbing so bad in corners that we had to postpone the test until they sorted the alignment out, a week later Sydney based Photographer Matthew Everingham and I were out at Ramspeed again and this time we took the car out for a VERY long shoot and drive, on everyday roads, highways and twisties too (we even tested the widebody in a McDonalds drive through!).

The concept was for Motor Magazine to start opening up their pages to modified car culture. Unfortunately the new editor at the time ended up losing his job, and thew new editor who replaced him hasn’t been in touch with us to do more collaborative work.

Pretty stoked to confirm that we’ve secured the huge Sydney Dragway carpark for EOMM again for every month in 2016!!!!!!!!!!

Such a huge relief! Massive thanks to all at Sydney Dragway for the space, and understanding the importance of having a safe place for car enthusiasts to meet and hang out in (love you guys lots, but if we can make entry free, or half price, that would be even better!!!). Massive thanks goes out to the Motorculture team for much of the EOMM behind the scenes and making my dreams a reality. Here’s to a huge year of massive car meets!
