The Battlecraft 10-Year Hyper Art Show in photos & video!!…

Happy New Year everybody! No better way to kick off the new year than to give you guys something to watch. I even updated the intro and everything. It seemed like the right time to just update everything so there are some small changes that I’m sure many of you regulars will notice. In the first episode of Season 11, I take you back to a few weeks ago when we were hosting the Battlecraft 10-year anniversary event. I can’t believe it’s been ten years already. Time really does just fly right by. The episode starts with me giving you guys some current updates, a little history on Battlecraft, and what our event is/was all about! Then it’s time to set-up, figure out where everything goes and hope for the best. We also had a special guest with us since we took Terry’s Integra out of Bowls LA to display at the Battlecraft 10-year. He decided to fly down to experience some Socal car culture and then we send both he and his car back to the Pacific Northwest. Enjoy!

Everything I’ve done to the $50 S2000 so far…

Everything I’ve done to the $50 S2000 so far…

Becoming an S2000-owner definitely was not on my list of 2024 projections when I started the year but things must happen for a reason because here I am with an AP1 that I acquired for a mere $50. Life is random and interesting that way but you know what? I’ve fully embraced my role now as a caretaker to this former track car. It has some wear and tear but for the most part, it’s still in very great condition and with the S2000 came a ton of parts. The suspension work is quite thorough and the engine is healthy. Nothing much had been done to the exterior other which is perfect for me because I had every intention of changing it up. Mainly because I just can’t leave anything alone but I also wanted to make this AP1 feel more like ‘mine’. About a week after taking ownership of the car, I already began looking for stuff to do to it. It just started to snowball from there. I already had a pretty good idea of how I envisioned it to look in my brain, I just had to have the patience to wait for stuff to show up. As it turns out, I actually have come to really like having this S2000. It’s been so much fun to work on so I decided to dedicate an episode to us changing this $50 S2000 from former track car to a sleek SoCal street-cruiser….

Cutting up the Voltex GR86, Wekfest Seattle & first mods on the FL5 Type R…

Now that I’m back in the USA, it’s time for me to catch-up on all the stuff that’s been happening here at home. The moment I walked through the doors of Battlecraft, Kristian was already hard at work cutting-up our GR86 in preparation for the Voltex widebody kit. If all goes well, that project should be ready to debut by end of summer. A few days later, I re-packed my suitcase and hopped on a flight to Seattle, Washington for the annual Wekfest event. It was an incredibly busy weekend so I didn’t get much filming done, though I did catch a good portion of the early roll-in. When I got home from my trip to the PNW, I was already re-united with Yasu since he decided to make the trip to California for the upcoming Wekfest San Jose. He showed-up with the JDM headlights off of his FL5 Civic Type R and swapped them immediately since he’d been dying to get his hands on some USDM ones. Not long after, it was time to pay a visit to our friends at APEX’i since they had some special for my new Type R…
