For those of you who actually read my website (probably just Manuel the mild mannered european) I drive this 2007 Suzuki Swit Sport 1.6, the latest addition is a set of Suzukisport mesh grilles. In JDM speak they offer “increased cooling efficiency”

Dont believe the hype, mesh is mesh wherever its from

Tuning and car culture is often seen to be the preserve of the young, this GTR proves what an enthusiast can do with a mature set of shoulders. I’ll do some digging and see if I can get the specs, but I spied Top Secret Aero and Top secret calipers with some gorgeous Volk Racing wheels.

The new show season will soon be upon us kicking off for myself at Donnington Park for the International Styling & Tuning Show, whilst the show itself is usually dire, it features both the first round of the European Drifting Championship and the Time Attack Series.

Time attack this year will be the one to watch fast becoming the leading series of the two with a notable entry from Buddy Club this year, it wont be long before some of Japan’s finest tuners join them.

Check out this Skyline from R31 House wearing Uras Aero, great to see the older Skylines are put to use as Nissan intended, with all the hype surrounding the release of the GTR the old guard are still at the fore for me.

I’m a big fan of Hot Version DVD’s in particular the Touge showdown series, i’ve been waiting for this DVD to be translated for a while. As a longtime Mitsubishi Enthusiast having grown up with the all conquering Lancer in Group A trim the WRC version using the humble Lancer at the time was fairly lacklustre. After some development after the works team was disbanded the Lancer WRC had some success and limited points finishes over the past few years.

And well when it was revealed it looked bonkers, and still does check out that weird rear wing and the agressive fenders, and a mate of mine in Wales made a fancy boot mechanism for it, true story.
