Secret Services Auto was surrounded by 370z’s last thursday as Planet Zero, Swat Performance and Baker-Jackson Nissan were dynoing their Nissan 370Z’s in preparation for Smoky Nagata’s (of Top Secret Japan fame) arrival and tune starting on March 29th, just in time before Import Reactor Unlimited. I must have counted 5 or 6 370z’s that day in front of the shop, three of which sported a small “Top Secret” decal on the rear window.

On Saturday, Mayday Garage was out at Gillman Subaru Southwest as Houston welcomed West Coast Subaru tuner Easy Street Motorsports (ESX) while Gillman Subaru was having their first shop day of the year. Sunny skies and perfect temperature were the welcoming forces for the Subaru shop day as we collectively arrived to the dealership bright and early to start the day at 7:30 am.

Mayday Garage will be out at Gillman Subaru Southwest this weekend hanging out with the local Subaru community and greeting Subaru tuning legend Ali Afshar as he makes his Houston stop of his ESX American Dealership Tour. During this tour, Mr. Afshar and his crew will only be present at a few selected dealerships, and Gillman Subaru SW is one of them! ( I think you can thank the man Wally for this one.) So come hang out with ESX’s Ali Afshar, Wally, Mayday Garage, and the rest of the local Subaru gear heads as we kick it and eat some AWESOME BBQ! It is going to be a great weekend, ALL CARS ARE INVITED, so we will see you out there! For more details about the event, click HERE. Stay tuned for Mayday coverage from this event.

I go to a lot of car meets around Houston. It’s fun to meet up with old friends and shoot the shit, but more often than not, people ask, “why don’t you ever feature Hondas?” My answer is usually the same. You see, I grew up in the 90’s where import “tuning” was all about big rims, gaudy body kits, RS Akimoto intakes and custom conversions. Hondas were THE cars to modify. Nowadays, my tastes haven’t strayed too far from my VeilSide combat roots, albeit, a bit more mature and modifying Hondas have gone through a series of changes as well. For the last few years, it’s been tough for a Honda to make me say wow. Don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate a shaved and tucked engine bay as much as the next kid, but most of the Hondas I see around town are lacking in some way.
No, Tim is not a cop.
I am going to leave the last bit of coverage to this hella dope Lotus Elise on TE-37’s. <3
Reason #1 that I love this car, because I am a sucker for a Lotus
And reason #2 is because I am also a sucker for a nice set of Classic Volk TE37s, hot damn :)
Overall I had a great time at this show, it had definitely been a while since I was engulfed by that type of energy for a tuner show. Mayday will definitely be at Wek-Fest next year, and it will be for longer than 36 hours, haha. For the rest of our Wek-Fest pictures, courtesy of Mikeyyy and I please click here. And stay tuned for our up and coming feature tomorrow by David Do.
