EVO IX Build Thread


Needs a wash, badly.


Back in power.

I’ve just started my EVO IX Build Thread on JDMST. I’ve spent over an hour going through the history of the car, it’s all so so good. Very happy I’ve got a clean base to mod (if that’s what I’m going to do?!).

Au revoir DC2R


Au revoir DC2R.

Car has gone to a good home. Was really starting to like it. you know… looking over your shoulder to take a glance at it once parked… but in reality it’s just too slow for a daily driver. I miss the urgency of the Golf GTI, it’s ability to dart in and out of traffic gaps on the way to and from work. New car is with me as of today, build thread coming soon.

Setting up @ Motorex


Thing of beauty.


Laying frame.


Mad Max!


Mind = blown. Loved this Harley. I’d so ride this to work every day.


Rods.


Sergio working his ass off.


Our little stall.


Our goodies.

We spent a good part of today getting our Zen Garage stand ready @ Motorex (in The Dome Sydney Olympic Park). We’ve been allocated a massive spot that fits 6 cars, so so awesome. Some of the rides I saw today were insane. Should be an awesome show tomorrow! :)

Visit to Xtreme Motorsports


I always pass these guys whenever I hit the M4 but I’ve never stopped to have a look. I always gawk too as there’s always some cars of interest there.


Caldinas. Rare. I find them interesting.


I’ve been tempted to buy a TME again. This silver one was about as clean as they get. 40,000km’s with log books to prove it.


All sorts of goodies in this room. Wheels (spot the BBS’ off an 8 MR), seats, all for sale.


Sleeping in another secured space, this 35.


Loved this sign, had a very Japanese feel to it.


If you’re going to bring cars in from Japan, you might as well stuff them with parts too right?! So many yummy little goodies.

Sergio and I dropped in to visit Joe at Xtreme Motorsports last night. As expected, he had some impressive cars for sale and my hunch that he was a top bloke (after meeting him briefly at Showcased a few weeks ago) was spot on. What a champ, massive heart. We were there to talk community and ALL STARS. More news as it comes! In the meantime, visit: http://xtrememotorsports.com.au

THE-LOWDOWN ‘Showcased’

Yesterday saw THE-LOWDOWN.com’s ‘Showcased’ at the rooftop of the Entertainment Quarter carpark. As soon as I got up and saw the sun rising above Maroubra Beach I knew it was going to be an awesome day. The boys gave Zen Garage a (very generous) 6x3m space facing the Sydney skyline, primo spot was primo! Our new tent went up with ease and trading went really well.

The vibe was too good to be true and I was left smiling all night, hey I’m still smiling! Sergio went clubbing the night before and managed to secure visiting American Import Model Jeri Lee and her 2 friends to represent Zen Garage and ALL STARS at the show, the 3 girls brought a massive buzz to our stand once they arrived.

Whilst the show on the rooftop was gobsmackingly otherworldly, the level below doubled as JDMST’s End Of Month Meet (EOMM) and it was so packed that cars had to park a level below below! Some photos are starting to make their way online on Facebook as well as JDMST. I left my camera in my bag as there were just way way way too many amazing cars worthy of a shot (hard work for all the photographers on the day!).
