A Nissan Outing: The All Nissan Meet @ Baker Tuning

While I was in Dallas this weekend, Danh shot on over to the all Nissan Meet over at Baker Nissan on the North Side of Houston. Coupled with a guest DJ, aka Heavygrinder and local DJ Tito, it was a nice Saturday event. Baker Tuning got the point across that Nissans are their game, and they showed it. Enjoy the eye candy.

A 512 Snap: 20 Valve Sex.

As we continue to pile through our photos from the 512 weekend I just had to throw this particular one up.  Being a Toyota junkie you have to appreciate the attention to detail in this bay.  I mean, damn, straight flossin those ITB's. 

I would make love to this motor...4 times.

A Sunday Funday: All Team Bash 2010

 600 cars, 1000 plus people, 100 degree weather with 100% humidity, beer and BBQ combined, make Houston’s All-Team Bash.  Ringing in on their third year, local hardpark crew Sunwork's leader David aka Kimo had his biggest event to date.  The All-team Bash is a meet that has a few objectives in mind, to establish stronger comradery between crews, have a great time, and provide an all welcoming environment for those who want to come out and meet their local favorites.  This year proved just that, people rolled from all over to hang out, eat, drink, and sweat to the beat of a ricer on a hot Sunday afternoon and we were there to hang with them.

An agressive look..

Yup, definitely better

Bag That Ass Up: Kevin Tran’s Super Sweet Lexus RX330

Beige.

To most people, beige is a color. To those in the automotive world, Big Beige is the nickname the media has christened Toyota Motor Co. The reason? Beige is boring. Toyota is turning into the new Buick, some say. They make safe, reliable, dependable, and almost always, predictable cars and trucks.

Epic sky is Epic.

Event Coverage: Fatlace One of One @ FormulaD Atlanta.

Wow, what a crazy weekend!
If you've been paying attention, myself and JohnP made a weekend trip to Atlanta, GA to check out the local drift scene and to watch the pros hit up Road Atlanta, the premier drift track in the Southeast for FormulaD. While FormulaD's main course was of course the hot drift action on the main track, there were a TON of other things to do to keep your attention. Among these attractions, one stood out like a sore thumb, the Fatlace One of One carshow.

A Honda Day: Phuc Nguyen’s Crème’ 93′ EG Hatchback

I love the feeling when I come across a tuner car that I have never seen.  When we live in the world of massive automotive tuning forums, tons of blogs and even Flickr, it is a rare sight to come across a clean ride that has been in hiding.  I mean, it would be one thing if it was a car that was of rare production, but a Honda? Ya, that is rare.  So, you can imagine the excitement we had when we came across a Honda that had not been splattered across the internet in a million Myspace angles.   Imagine one that had been in silent slumber being pieced together at the pace of the owner, such as this car, Phuc’s 1993 Honda Civic EG Hatchback.   Being a tuner since the late 90’s you can see he has some classic tuner style in this car, and when we laid our eyes on it, we were in love, in a nostalgic kind of way.

On the Run: Tee’s Executive Mercedes S550

If you remember a couple a weeks ago MaydayGarage had featured an Audi A4 that belonged to a gent by the name of Ty Nguyen.   When we first shot the A4, Ty asked us if we wanted to take a look at his friends slammed Mercedes.  Now the first thing that comes to mind when someone tells us that they have a slammed Mercedes is some gaudy big body with rims from the back of a DUB catalog and super tacky feel. Luckily for us, this wasn’t the case, because when this big body car pulled up;  A tuner had gotten a hold of this Merc. S550 and we knew this guy had some good taste.
