Oh shit. I am so behind on content. There has just been so much going on lately that I just haven’t been able to sit down to post stuff up. I’m trying to get all the videos together so they post on a more consistent schedule but the photo coverage actually takes a huge chunk of time, being that I have to come up with all the captions and what not. Anyways, enough about all that. Today, we’re going to pick-up where we left off before SEMA with photo coverage of the 2016 Kday! event. Shota Mori came through with the fantastic shots as usual, especially in the pouring rain, and now we get to see all the builds that almost appear frozen in time from Takeshi Kobayashi’s annual event…

Things have been crazy lately but I swear, there is so much content coming. I’m literally sitting here multi-tasking as I type this, editing photos and rendering video. I think my PC is going to blow up by the end of the month with all the shit that it has to go through. Oh, if Year8, SEMA, VIP Festival, and all the other stuff in-between isn’t enough, Global Time Attack’s Super Lap Battle event is tomorrow and Friday so I’ll be going out there to cover that. Again, bear with me folks, the good stuff is coming…

Kday! C6

Yuki Fujii’s VW Karmann Ghia bagged on Work Carving Head 40s. Note the curb feelers on the fender for extra cool points…

MK2 Volkswagen GTI with a USDM “Westmoreland” front end with the small square headlights. The more common set-up for this generation GTI had round headlights and if I remember correctly, the Westmoreland front was only available here in the U.S. where they were made in Westmoreland, PA…

This slammed GTI had rear louvers and OEM Audi wheels…

A peek under the hood of the legendary Spoon Sports E-AT Civic…

Love the simplicity of this white EG6 Civic running a carbon front lip, cut-out OEM grills in the bumper, and Mugen MR5 wheels…

In a sea of mostly USDM OEM-styled vehicles and more traditionally simple Japanese builds, these two Varis widebodies stood out like a sore thumb…

Authentic Mugen goods here, no fakes…

USDM Honda Element S/C on Volk Racing CE28 wheels…
