Balance of Power: Tim Zak’s Turbocharged Mugen RSX
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.
Wek-Fest 2010: MaydayGarage Closing Coverage
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.

Events: SF Wek’Fest 2010 : JapanTown San Francisco
Soooo, this weekend I will be flying out to San Francisco from Texas for what I believe is one of California’s most hype, up and coming car shows, Wek'Fest. I mean, how can you even deny the fact that these guys over there at Wek'Fest / Wek'Sos sold out of 450 spots in the span of 9 days. Shit, people better take note because these guys obviously know what they are doing and that is how come I am rolling out there. First stop will be Fatlace, some restaurants, then party it up with Ben Terry from Stanceworks, Mayday Mikeyy, and hopefully meet up with Cipher Garage and Motormaven's own Antonio Alvendia. Stay tuned for coverage from this event, California’s top Hard Parkers in Japantown San Francisco is definitely something you dont want to miss. For More information visit WEK-FEST site. Check out that roll call, dayum, I can't wait!
So who all is going??

Rumormill: Houston is about to make History!
At this time tomorrow MaydayGarage.com will be PART of a new chapter in tuning history. It would be one thing if we were just a media group, a group of guys who get the inside scoop or the first ones there...but that's not who we are. The Mayday Collective even before it's inception has always pushed the envelope in helping to develop and grow the local tuning community in Texas. Through hardships, drama, and countless days of no sleep, we have collaborated with some of Houston's finest to bring a different paradigm not only to Houston's eye, but the rest of the Tuner World. Tomorrow, on February 16, 2010, We, MaydayGarage.com will announce a revolutionary event like no other.
Stay tuned for history in the making, t-minus 24 hours.

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
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday season this year!!
Wishing everyone a great Holiday Season!
