The U.S. debut of the first Voltex Widebody GR86 and Exceed Japan FL5 Civic Type R…

After landing back at home in California, Yasu and I show up with a bunch of parts and only a few days to help complete the USA’s first Voltex Street Version II widebody GR86. Kristian and Jay had been hard at work on the GR86 over the last few months but I had been in Asia so even I had no idea how the car would look. Before I left, the car was literally in pieces. I was excited to see how much the car had changed and boy was I surprised but how far along the car was. We had enough time to even work on my FL5 Civic Type R! Since we had brought the brand new Exceed aero kit for the Type R back from Osaka with us, we immediately had to throw it on to see how it looked in completed form. Good thing I already had wheels waiting to be installed and a meaty set of Yokohama ADVAN tires…

Hi all, don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the second half of the Wekfest Hawaii photos, I’ve just been super busy here in Japan. We’re in the midst of a three-day Osaka Auto Messe event and I’m typing most of this at a tiny desk situated right in-between the No […]

Somewhere wedged in-between my multiple trips to Japan is the annual Wekfest Hawaii event. People often ask me why I go to Japan so often in such a short span of time and my main reasoning behind it is simple; I have to go to Hawaii. It’s often considered paradise […]

2018 is finally…*ahem*…FINALLY coming to a close with just a few days left until we start counting down to the new year. I think many of us are taking a collective sigh of relief and looking forward to what 2019 brings. Before we ring in ’19, just a few weeks […]

So the morning of Wekfest LA 2017, everything looked to be going pretty well. My Y33 was starting to finally come together and we had stayed-up most of the night to get the car fully re-assembled. The only delay was that the windshield installer wouldn’t be available until 9 am […]

This three-week block of shows has created an interesting conundrum….While it’s great that we have so many events to attend to keep us busy, it almost seems to create some over-saturation when it comes time to present coverage online. I mean, it’s bad enough that there are new sites every […]

The Wekfest LA car show has always been a more laid-back event for me. Usually, the Wekfest SF show kicks off the year and then the annual Eibach Honda event hits before the Wekfest LA show. By then, I’m pretty much beat up from all the shows and meets before […]
