OTWeb: Nom15 S15 Render Circa 2006
Well, after catching a glimpse of a particular Army Green S15 that has been floating around the internet for a stint, I couldn't put my mind to what the car reminded me of. Army green, aggressive front...hmm..then sure enough it clicked. A few years ago I had found this bad ass rendering of a Silvia S15 on Deviant Art, pretty sweet job too if I say so myself. Army Green TE-37s, aggressive stance and awesome paint with some Falken Love. I think that this rendering was an inspiration for the 2nd car below, what do you think?

Event Coverage: NST 5th Anniversary Drift Competition & Car Show Part 2.
They say a picture says a thousand words, and if that's true, we have a ton of things to say in this second installment of our coverage of the Drift and Show competition held at Gulf Greyhound Park in LaMarque, TX.
Who's got dat ass covered?? MAYDAYGARAGE!
Let's get to it.
Event Coverage: N.S.T. 5th Anniversary Drift Competition & Car Show Part 1.
This past sunday, the good folks over at NonStopTuning, a.k.a. NST, celebrated their illustrious 5 year anniversary in La Marque, TX with over one thousand close friends and family! While some businesses celebrate with cheaply made cake and cheesy party hats, NST took it a few steps further by holding a drift competition and car show held at Gulf Greyhound Park just south of Houston. Despite the bitter forty degree weather, that didn't seem to stop the hundreds of spectators from (as JohnP so eloquently put it) getting their drift fix. Luckily, there wasn't any disappointment from the drifters as they put on their multiple layers of clothing and kept their heads warm in their helmets.
- An LS1 powered S13? Yes.
Event Coverage: N.S.T. 5 year anniversary drift event! pt. 0 a preview.
This past Sunday MaydayGarage was out kicking it with our local Texas drifters for the Non Stop Tuning 5 year anniversary drift event. Mike, owner and founder of N.S.T. and local drift icon Aaron Losey from Fabricated Motorsports put on the drift competition and car show. 40 degrees and a slight wind chill was the welcoming weather for a pretty chilly exhibition of drift as we all literally froze our butts off. But hot as hell or cold as hell, we always find ourselves weathering it out to get our sideways fix.

OTWeb Video: Ken Block’s DC vid on Crystal Meth.
I called in to my job today on account that i'm getting sick, and with my line of work, I have to talk to a lot of people. So while the rain was killing any hopes that I could at least wash my car today, I sat down and watched some DVD's that I haven't gotten around to doing yet. One of those DVD's, DSport DVD #10, has the Ken Block Gymkhana 2 video on it. While it definitely looked great on my TV, it reminded me of a video that was posted on our man Alexi's Blog, NoriYaro. In this version of the same video (kind of), it was remixed by a guy that MUST be trippin' on acid. The result? Pure mayhem.
To get the full effect, you have to play this bad boy full screen.
Enjoy!

Random Snap: Dragging Ass.
Sometimes being low comes at a cost. In this case, former MaydayGarage feature car owner, Mikey is seen here testing out a new Dart Izumi exhaust only to find out that because the car is super slammed, the exhaust has only about a 1/2" clearance. Time for some modifications by the guys at 786Motoring!
The slight bend in the road causes sparks from the exhaust

From Japan and back: Hajime’s RB26DETT Powered 240sx
Japan is a country well known for many things. Mention the word Japan to anyone, and initial thoughts may range from Karate and Sushi, to Anime and drift cars. Not many people will say that it reminds them of home. Unless, of course, you happen to be Hajime Maki.
If you live in Houston, TX, and have been to any of the 40+ car meets held by Planet Zero, then you have undoubtedly seen this pearl white beauty before you.
Hot like fire
Getting Down to Business: Jonas’ Toyota Corolla AE86
Mondays. Oh how I despise mondays. Mondays to me mean two things: 1. it's gonna be another 5 days before the weekend, and 2. it's time to put on my game face for work and get down to business. For others, mondays may mean something else, and I'm not sure what mondays mean for Jonas, the owner of this particular AE86, but I'll tell you one thing, he knows what business is, and this corolla is screaming it.
Even at a standstill, this AE86 begs to be driven.
