A rare quiet evening in Osaka Amerikamura. One of those ‘work all day, grab a quick dinner, and go cruising with your friends’ type of nights…

Beefy 1000+ HP Supra, An S14 Sedan?, +15 Offset TE’s On Der’s Civic, & The ITR Is Alive!!…
Not gonna lie, it feels great to have regular Vlogs going again now that things are picking up here at home! Over the weekend, I was invited to bring our GR86 out to Formula D Irwindale to participate in Pit+Paddock’s Performance Car Invitational. The weather was looking pretty damp that day but we had no idea a whole storm was brewing! The event itself presented some pretty interesting builds including our friend Hubert Barnum’s Supra and Rodney Moenadi’s KA24 Turbo sedan. The following day, Der got right back to work on his Civic to fit his 16×8 +15 Volk TE37 wheels. Would they fit? Would the jack come down faster than we wanted it to and make the wheels fit? See for yourself!! Oh and Chuy makes a surprise visit to the shop!!
Read MoreBack On The Road For Wekfest Seattle!!… CHRNCLS Vlog 2021 #20
Boy does it feel good to be back on the road again! It seems like forever ago since we’ve traveled for Wekfest but the show series is back now to close-out 2021. This was an interesting one because we go back-to-back for Seattle and Los Angeles for the first-time. We made sure to find some time to relax and just hang-out however, before the madness begins. Like my other visits to the Pacific Northwest, I make a traditional visit over to my friend Terry’s house where they were prepping their cars for the show. There’s plenty to see in this one, enjoy!

Hmm… I, uhh, kinda don’t have anything else to say about this event. Lol. I think with the previous post and it circulating online as well as through social media, I developed a good understanding of how people feel about it. If you’re on the inside, you’re gonna defend the position of those who were and have always been a part of this event. If you’re not, you either have a good grasp of what I was trying to explain or simply do not care enough about it to give it your time. Some of you are just here to see photos. I wouldn’t say that there was a wrong or a right. It’s just all dependent on perspective. If anything, I saw it as a small social experiment to see how people would react…

Hopefully many of you have seen the Vlog episode about this event and have heard some of my thoughts on it. I was expecting a more polarizing response but I suppose people are familiar enough with this event, since its been around for some years now, and have already formulated their own thoughts on it. I was never even supposed to go to this event and was brought in last minute as a guest of sorts, so I won’t be too harsh about my criticisms, lol. I’ll actually be very nice about it, okay? Because overall, it’s a good event. Correction: it’s a very VERY good event—if you happen to own an S2000, an NSX, or an FK8. If you don’t own one of those models, you don’t have to give a fuck about this, because they don’t give a fuck about you either. And that’s as blunt as I can put it. I feel like it would have been necessary to call this the “Honda Homecoming” with an asterisk at the end, because it’s not really “Honda” vehicles as a whole. It’s just those three particular platforms I mentioned with a sprinkle of Integra Type Rs and display vehicles brought in by vendors.

Those of you who have followed The Chronicles for the last few years will probably be pretty familiar with this 1996 Honda Integra Type R. I’ve posted photos of it here and there over time, never the complete set, which I’ll explain why today. It was a build that I […]
Read MoreWe Visit Type_K in Sendai!!…
After visiting ACROSS, we packed our bags and set off to Tokyo, which was a 3-hour ride on the bullet train. We dragged Yasu along of course since he likes to go on adventures with us even though he’s been insanely busy with work at Exceed and arrived in Shibuya, […]

All that night cruising and spirited driving was fun and all, but it was time for us to head over to the Kanto region of Japan, more specifically, Tokyo. Our original plan was to attend both the Osaka Auto Messe event and the Attack race event at Tsukuba during our […]

Photos and Words by Joey Lee (@Stickydiljoe) It felt different this year. I know it felt that way to me but it’s interesting to hear that the people who attended the show this year also felt a similar sentiment. It’s weird though because I didn’t think this day would ever […]

Photos and Words by Joey Lee (@Stickydiljoe) It’s rare for me to go back and look at some of my old posts. Today, however, I thought I’d look back to last year’s Wekfest East coverage to see what I had to say. I guess I just don’t like looking back […]
