There’s so much going on lately around here that it almost feels like I’ll never have enough time to go through all the content I have for the site. On my desk is stacks and stacks of orders that need to go out and it is about 3 AM now. I spent most of last week finishing up all the Vlogs from Japan and the last three videos should be up on YouTube this week. While the videos are being rendered, I’ve been busy finishing up these photos from Wekfest Japan and I have still not even looked at the photos I captured from the Eibach Honda Meet. It’s crazy, haha. I want to say that I am overwhelmed but this is all stuff that is enjoyable to me so it doesn’t really seem like work. I just really have to squeeze more hours out of the day to get everything out for you guys to see…
Today, we have the last section of the 2015 Wekfest Japan event. Take a seat, relax, and enjoy. I need to get back to work. Somewhere in-between, I’ll somehow manage to sleep and eat, maybe poop, who knows. This weekend is the Wekfest LA event too so that means there is even more content forthcoming. Oh man. Don’t even get me started on June. It seems like I’ll be out of town every weekend doing car shit. And with that comes even MORE content, haha. Alright time to get back to packing up these orders from the storefront. I don’t even know if any of these sentences I’m putting together make sense. Enjoy!!..

One of the best builds in the building as always is this Scion FR-S built by WELD Technique Factory. Always been a huge fan of this car and I always make an effort to take some time to study it whenever I see it in person. The engine bay is just insane and the exterior is just beautiful in that deep metallic finish…
Since it is a Work Wheels demo vehicle, the lip of the Work Durandal wheels on the FR-S features both company logos in a scatter pattern…

Does the EF9 Civic SiR representing Five Mart have an ITR front strut bar as rad/core support?
Lol, it does look like that’s what it is. It’s actually a good idea; a much stronger chassis brace than the stamped sheet steel.
