As soon as I picked up my S13 I knew exactly what my first major modification needed to be: coilovers! In all honesty I found the standard ride height pretty offensive to look at, which, coupled with the horrendously soft dampening, made the car pretty uninspiring to drive (not to […]
Read MoreDaze’s S13 at Awesomefest
Here’s another old picture I found while sorting through one of my hard drives, this time it’s a shot of David “Daze” Cooper’s S13 looking a little tired after a weekend of abuse on the Mallory Park circuit.
Read MoreStanley Green Meet
Stanley Green is well known in the South Manchester area as a popular meeting point for modified car enthusiasts and you can be pretty much guaranteed to see some interesting cars there on almost every night of the week. Last Thursday a relatively small meet was organised which, despite lacking […]
Read MoreBuxton Onevias
Joe Ankers’ and Matt Guttmann’s Onevias awaiting their turn in Buxton’s triple car drift competition a few months back. Together with Christian Bell’s Zenki S14 they became Team Misfire for the day, the name being derived from the condition that all of their SR20 engines were suffering from throughout the […]

Read MoreAn Evening With Seb’s Mx-5
While moving house the other day I came across a pair of TSW Venoms lying in my garden that had obviously been sat there for a long time. After trying to remember where they’d come from I remembered they were Seb’s drift wheels from Awesomefest and that I’d had to […]
Read MoreAwesomefest Street Skidders
At this point I’m sure you’re all asking “is he really still posting pictures from Awesomefest?” to which I would reply with “yes, I am”. Throughout the course of Awesomefest 2011 I took nigh on 2000 pictures and every now and then I have a look through the folder to […]
Read MoreTaking a Step Back
Every now and then it feels nice to take a step back from going to competitions, events or larger meets and to just hang out with your mates. I’m fortunate enough to be friends with some great people who also happen to have some fantastic cars and hopefully I can […]
