Don't Do This.

Two teens could face reckless endangerment charges for a car accident at New York City's first municipal airport that landed both young men in the hospital.

NYPD investigators say the two 18-year-old men were driving at "a high rate of speed" at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, at around 9:30 p.m. Sunday. But investigators stopped short of saying that the teens were drag racing.

Nevertheless, the two cars, both Infinitis, collided and one of the vehicles flipped, cops said.

Please don't street race. Keep it on the track, people.

Back in the Day...

I used to be a sedan-guy, like our RC. Just reminiscing about my previous ride, a 2003 IS300 5MT. What's yours?

Wangan Midnight Movie Trailer

Originally as an anime about street racing, Wangan Midnight is now a live-action movie. Although the anime was pretty popular in Japan, it never gained the same success as Initial D in the states. What really makes the movie for me is the old school Datsun Z. Expect to see androgynous boys with stone faced acting, cheesy jpop music, b-rated special effects and camera-work. All this=Fun.

Big OC G35/G37 Meet!

2c from the Outcast G's held a great meet, with invites to all crews and cars, including OCGs, Shyne, LA Gs and GLANCE. Several of us made it out and had a chance to gawk over some of the nicest G's in the planet. If you haven't made it out to one of these meets, you're missing out.

Some awesome cars at the meet:


2c with his badass G37 with great fitting MS1's.


I forgot who drove this, but her car turned out well put together. Love the hood.


Check out donpisto's fitments. Insane.


Shane's new kransen forged wheels. Super flushed.


Our very own RC doing it jdm style.


Kris looking hard by his LR coupe.


Speedraver's new suede interior. Sick.


Sam's clean aggressive-oem style G.


Dranom's ip coupe is one of the cleanest around.

Emblemless Grill Now Available for the G35 Coupe

Just arrived is one more clean option for those wanting a new grill for their coupe without losing the OEM look. A few have done this DIY-style, but now they're being made in full production by Jose at Ionic. I know many have been waiting a very long time for someone to come up with a solution. Currently there's a group buy, so if you're looking into buying one, now's the time.

"This is a perfect fitting G35 Coupe emblemless grill, it has most of the OEM design but with some improvements and manufactured in fiberglass. We first deleted the emblem, then we smoothed out all the bumps. The first designs did not include any reinforcements between the slits, we later decided to include them to avoid any stress cracks from happening. The second set of molds did not fit properly and had a large gap along the bottom edge. This is what I would call our version 3.0, and it is the best one and fitment could not be any better. We respected all of the OEM tabs and this grill is very easy to install."

Akebonos Are In

After a very long wait, I finally got my Candy Red Akebonos installed. It was a long process of collecting all the parts necessary, but they're finally in. A big thanks to Stimulated Motorsports, one of our great sponsors for spending a good amount of time this past saturday installing them properly. Expect a shoot of the full car very shortly...
