I shot these photos a few weeks ago when Yasu was in town and he wanted to go visit Kenji at GReddy. Hopefully you guys have seen the Vlog episode on this build by now, but if you haven’t, please watch that because the main purpose of our visit was to have a thorough look-through …
Full Send in Jay’s S13 at Final Bout – CHRNCLS Vlog 2019 #18 (Part 2)
Soon after the dinner break, we head back to USAIR Motorsports Raceway for the evening free-run portion of the 2019 Final Bout Gallery event. It was our first time seeing these guys drive at night and it was pretty cool to see these guys just thrashing on their cars all night. The next day was …
Wekfest Chicago 2019 Coverage… Part 2…
I can’t think of a better way to unwind lately than by just being able to sit down and post the things that I’ve collected while I’ve been gone. It’s crazy to think that I’ve been to so many events this year already and most of them haven’t been here at home in California. There …
All Things Cool At Final Bout Gallery – CHRNCLS Vlog 2019 #18 (Part 1)
I just want to see cool shit. Seriously. You won’t see me covering drifting in North America really, because, well…it doesn’t pique my interest. I appreciate it for what it is but I wouldn’t sit here and tell you something was cool to me if it wasn’t, you know? About 4 years ago, I was …
Wekfest Chicago 2019 Coverage… Part 1…
Boy has it been a crazy few weeks people. In the last 3-to-4 weeks, I’ve literally been to Japan for Wekfest, Chicago again for Wekfest, and then back to the Midwest again for the Final Bout Gallery event. It’s great to be seeing so many cool things and experiencing so much, but on the flip …
Street Style at Wekfest Chicago – CHRNCLS Vlog 2019 #17
We’re back on the road again! This week, we packed-up and headed out to Chicago, Illinois for the annual Wekfest event down in the Windy City. Yasu flew out specifically for the event because he wanted to see what the car community was like in the Midwest and we also catch-up with some old friends …
GReddy Kenji’s Turbo EF Civic Build – CHRNCLS Vlog 2019 #16
I didn’t get a chance to go to the Eibach Honda Meet this year since I was still in Japan at the time and I was really bummed I couldn’t attend because I really wanted to see the debut of Kenji Sumino’s turbocharged Civic build. Kenji is the man behind GReddy Performance Products and has …
Wekfest Japan 2019 Coverage… Part 3…
Being in Chicago this past weekend made me really appreciate my trip to Japan a week before. I’m not saying that to shit on Chicago or the Midwest or anything, but damn, sometimes I think even being there in-person that I don’t really get to fully take-in what I am seeing. It just continues to …
Wekfest Japan 2019 Coverage… Part 2…
Japanese custom car culture is amazing. We Westerners love it for exactly what it is and appreciate its rich history. Though many of our ideas and styles have made its way across the world, we still very much want to leave (Japan) unchanged. The community is great there because it is so very unique and …
Wekfest Japan 2019 Coverage… Part 1…
One of the most common questions I get asked when people realize I’m on the Wekfest Tour full-time is the one you’d might expect me to be asked: ‘Which stop on the tour is your favorite one?’ I get asked this more often than you’d think. Even with me often trying to figure out ways …
