Weekend Trip: Keep Drifting Fun Invades Texas
This past weekend we ventured out to Austin, Texas to catch a little bit of drifting in the sun at a local show called Mean Streets, where the streets are mean. Anyhow, this event was by no means of normal standard because the infamous Will Roegge and Joshua Herron were on a mission, a Keep Drifting Fun mission, and this event was one of their nationwide stops for their documentary.

Baller Status: 20″ ADVAN RS-D in Bright Chrome
So if you remember a couple of days ago, we had released some photographs of an 8-Pot Greddy Big Brake upgrade for a 370z that is sitting quietly in a vicinity here in Houston. Well, those big brakes need to be paired with some big baller wheels, especially for a car with a butt and front as wide as a Fairlady 370z. These pictures are only of the front, I never got to the rears. As you can see, these fresh new Advan RS-D's are going to sit very nicely on the 370z. I still can't get past the Bright Crome finish, it goes hard, hella hard.

Destined For Greatness: 3 370Z’s Prepare for the Arrival of Top Secret
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.

So, we continue our coverage of Wek-Fest. As we had mentioned before, we had been awoken to the sound of exhausts and scraping frames at about 6:00am on Sunday morning. When I had run outside of the hotel to see what the hell was going on, it was apparent that cars were already starting to line up to enter the show. ...
