Anyone else on Car Town?

I just started playing Car Town a couple of days ago and it sure is addictive... Here's my Blitz S13...

Truly epic NSX video

I'd recommend clicking through to watch the HD video.
EPIC video of the legendary NSX.

Beautiful Kouki S13 video - "Lazy Sunday"

No matter what origins you might like your car to come from, there's no denying the beauty of this classy video.

Garage36 gets CarbonClad

Fellow automotive nut and blogger Gabriel has posted a feature of Garage36 on his blog Carbon Clad Cars. If it is JDM and cool, it'll be there. Gabriel himself used to power around in a sleek black Silvia, this guy knows his S-Chassis machines. Secretly, i've always wanted an S13 with a Strawberry face. haha...

Check out his blog for more Carbon Clad Cars.

Honda at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2010

I got a couple of request to showcase some Vtec power from the Tokyo Auto Salon, so here they are! A collection of the Hondas i came across at the show. Let's start off with this car... oh wait... is it in the wrong section?

Nope, this is an Odyssey sporting a custom BMW face.

Bold World had a droppped Odyssey featuring a red carbon finish,



as well as this black FD2. I was hoping to see more FD2s during the show but unfortunately, not many were to be found.


A number of VIP-ed up Streams and Odysseys were on show.

Mugen, well know for their tuned up Hondas were sadly, not around for this year's show. Maybe they are busy working on the HSV and CR-Z. Hopefully they will be back for 2011. Honda's Modulo were present to showcase a few cars though.

The Civic Type-R Euro. Pretty much the same Civic hatch the official dealer in Singapore has been bringing in. But for Japan, tweaks to the suspension and handling were supposedly made.

Here is the Insight from Modulo featuring some funky wheel covers.

J's Racing also prepared an Insight for the show with some eye candy too.

Right next to the J's Racing Insight, we have their S2000 looking aggressive.

Tamon Design were on hand to represent some Honda power too with their "Zaku" S2000. This AP1 really looked the part with a Tamon Design widebody kit, Rays wheels, stunning paintwork, and perfect stance.


Cyber Sports had this insane CRX on display. Those green TEs sure look good on the white body.


The powerplant inside this CRX is a B16B pushing out about 185horses. The interior was fully stripped out and roll caged as well. You can't imagine this car being anywhere else but on a racetrack.



The 5Zigen Accord Euro R was also at the show. This car, like the CRX above is built for the tracks, this car in particular, is built for Time Attacks. I love that wild looking front hood wing (they call it the "Devil Wing") up front. This Euro-Rs K20B has been stroked up to 2.4litres with some Turbocharging added in more good measure. OH, there's some NOS too. Pretty serious stuff.



Ladies and Gentlemen, for the main event, we have some NSXs! I love the NSX. Hard to believe the first versions came out around 20 years ago in the 1990s. They still look stunning after all these years.

Advance had a stunning yellow NSX on show coming with Individual Throttle Bodies on the engine.


This Esprit NSX has had its internals heavily worked on, with it's V6 engine rotated to a longitudinal position and force fed with some Trust turbines. It pushes out over 500 horses.


This beautiful red example came from Matrix. With a custom widebody from Sorcery.

Bringing this post to a close, right next to the red NSX, we have Zero Force showcasing this matt, mad and wide NSX with the a super aggressive looking rear diffuser.

Random Shot: The Toyota 2000GT Documentary

Picked this leaflet up whilst i was at Super Autobacs Shinonome. What a gorgeous machine the 2000GT is. Love the whole retro-ness of the advert too, you don't see stuff like this outside of Japan. View the trailer here.

The GTRs of the Tokyo Auto Salon 2010

When in Japan, you do realise something, the Japanese love their cars, and the Japanese especially love their GTRs. These monstrous fire breathing techno-gizmos of the motoring world have a cult following around the world, and back on home-soil, the best in the business all have a GTR to call their own.

Gathered here are a number of GTRs i spotted during my visit to the Auto Salon. There are still a few unaccounted for and i apologise, due to the sheer magnitude of the show, i just couldn't keep up with all of them. One can go crazy just imagining the total amount of HP all these cars put out together. Let's start of with the R35s.




Nismo had a GTR Black Edition "Club Sports" package sporting new wheels and figure hugging seats.

With the JGTC racer nearby.

HKS Kansai had this delectable example no doubt choked full of HKS parts.



Varis and Wald showing off their bodywork expertise.


And HKS showing off their Time-Attack GTR with lap times on display up front.


Here are Street Special's and Midori's GTRs. The Midori car looking beautifully clean with some choice modifications.


M7 had a GTR flanked by "Image Girls" and Hasemi Sport's R35 sat next to a beautiful R32 racer.


Even RevSpeed magazine had a GTR on display.


And how can we forget the TommyKaira GTR? Wonderful.

Moving one generation earlier, we see a multitude of R34s throughout the showfloor. My personal favourite would be Final Konnexion's GTR. Featuring beautiful and aggressive bodywork, color-coded deep dished wheels with an absolutely spot-on stance. This R34 just takes your breath away the moment you set your eyes on it.




Check out the fitment of the rear wheels!


No stranger to those watching Best Motoring. Matchless Crowd Racing's red and loud R34.

Option Magazine had a whole area filled with GTRs. Imagine how it must have sounded when they brought all the cars in and out of the show.








The R32s are still well loved judging by how many are still running around having Porsches and Ferraris for breakfast.


This particular R32 from Garage Sauraus caught my attention for having a seperate cooler out in the boot. Now... what kind of car would require so much cooling?


Something that generates 1050 horses and goes over 350km/h maybe?




Although seemingly not as popular a choice with the tuners, a couple of R33s were still on hand to represent with Abflug showing off another wild looking creation and a Midnight Purple monster from Admix Racing. Cockpit had a beautiful white R33 as well. That concludes my coverage of the modern GTRs from TAS2010.

There are still quite a number of GTRs unspoken for(even the classics), but i hope these will be enough (or will it?) to help satisfy your power hungry appetites. Thanks for reading!
