Non Stop Tuning Anniversary Drift & Show
While most of the country was snowed in, Houston was getting sideways! Thanks to Non Stop Tuning for hosting the 5 Year Anniversary Drift & Show. This was one of the bigger events I’ve seen, especially this early in the year. This coverage is definitely worth checking out! I’ll link you up to all the great coverage!

Late Night VW Love!
I’m browsing late in the evening and I come across some inspiring photography from Joachim Naess – check his site for more great work!

Vintage Super Silhouette
Wow, this is golden! If you aren’t familiar with Super Silhouette races, they were held as part of the Fuji Grand Championship series between 1979 and 1984 and followed Group 5 Standards. There were very few regulations during this time and cars generally would only share the same basic “Silhouette” as production cars(which is where “Super Silhouette” comes from). What I loved about these cars was how over the top they were! If you’ve ever wondered where the Bosozoku style originated from, it probably started here as enthusiasts wanted to bring this aggressive styling to their street cars!

Pop My Trunk: JDM Edition
I was talking to a friend today and somehow we got on the topic of popped trunks in rap music, etc. You know which ones I’m talking about – the raised up trunk lids with the obnoxious slogans written with neon lights! He told me that in Japan, a new trend has come about in drifting… the popped trunk! I wonder if this happened by an accidental broken trunk latch or if it was done on purpose. Only the most aggressive entry will cause the trunk to catch air!
Rice Nostalgia: All Clear Tails
If you’re a little older (or you’ve got older friends) then you probably remember the glory days of rice. You grew up in the ’90s when bodykits, altezzas, and graphics were cool. “The Fast and The Furious” didn’t introduce you to anything new – it only confirmed what you’ve thought was cool for years! Alot of times when I talk to older guys we’ll talk about the “good ol’ days” and laugh about how silly we were back then. The term rice gets thrown around fondly, almost as if it weren’t a bad thing. There is a bit of nostalgia for us.
I thought it’d be fun to throw up some fun throwback images! I’m not asking you to like these cars, but just think back with me and consider where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going. Hell, it might make a comeback like bell bottoms did! To be honest, if you look around these days you’ll see plenty of classic rice modifications being introduced slowly back into the scene.
Imacoolkid in S3 Magazine!
So, its cool when one of our own members gets some appreciation! Congratulations to Chris, aka imacoolkid, for getting featured in the next issue of S3 Magazine! What a super nice guy, with a really dope car. We can’t wait to see it in print!
Import Reactor ‘09
While Import Reactor ‘09 wasn’t the biggest car show, it made up for it in atmosphere, entertainment, and local support. Take a look inside for previously unreleased coverage of the show, as well as a summary of the days events.
Houston’s All Team Bash ‘09
In support of the scene, the teams of Houston decided to come together for a meet of epic proportion. Quality rides, good people, good times. Thats what its all about.
