    Interesting S2000 Swap

    Check it out: Link Thoughts? Comments? Supposedly the J37 in the new TL is light compared to other V6s like the VQ37 found in the 370Z. Weight balance hasn't changed all that much, so I suspect the car is still <3000 lbs with some sense of low-end torque and a bit more horsepower.

    Writing is the new black

    Just like how Peter landed himself a nice gig with the Examiner writing about cars, I was also able to land myself an editing/writing position at a new upstart car blog. Check it out. We're a Chicago based editorial that features some of the hottest JDM cars in the Chicagoland metro area...

    Canon 7D

    For those that care, Canon's decided to step up their game: Dpreview link I think I've found my next body. I'm very impressed by everything that the camera has to offer. Just gotta wait for about 6-8 months before it's actually available and prices to drop. At that point, a stable firmware...

    [08.01.09] Team Orange @ D1GP Chicago

    I'd like to send a holler out to Raymond for pretty much hooking me up with media access for the event. Without him, I wouldn't have been stuck in the horrible media location that the organizers gave us. Anyway, here's some of the shots of Team Orange, two RWD STi's driven by Kumakubo (GC...

    US Formula One team is a GO!

    This is very exciting news. USF1, an (obviously) American-built, American-run team that's been targeting the pinnacle of 4 wheeled motorsport has been included in the official 2010 Formula One entry list. With the team announcing that any "American" driver with the right credentials will get...

    Chicagoz.com Meet

    I had a fun time rolling with the Nissan guys in Chicago. For this particular meet I forgot my tripod and I was slightly disoriented from getting a ride in BOTH a R35 GTR and a "fixed" R34 GTR that should be pushing 650HP to the wheels. OK...I was VERY disoriented. Adrenaline was still...

    Ricey Rice

    So, this is just an idea that I have in my head right now. I recall seeing some slightly modified Altezzas that didn't look half bad, and after searching it up, I found this. I personally think that it looks pretty unique and not extremely ricey. What do you guys think? Here's my plan...

    Pretty G35 around campus

    Saw it in one of the parking lots and I just so happened to have my camera with me. Need I say more? Excuse me for the bad pictures. The setting isn't the best known to mankind, so I tried cropping out all the extra crap in and around the car. Some details:

    This is new to me

    This whole photography thing. Especially nature/landscape photography. My entries for the photography contests here aren't anything too special from me - they're just plain bad lol. Anyway - I picked up 2 new lenses: Sigma 30 f/1.4 EX Canon EF-S 10-22 And I am absolutely in love with...

    Halp Meh!

    Let's be honest, my experience with photography is very very limited. I have absolutely no experience whatsoever when it comes to post-processing and all that I do know when it comes to photography is the holy trinity of exposure (shutter, aperture, and iso), how aperture plays with dof, and the...

    BACKGROUND This is supposed to be one of the larger gatherings of Hondas here in Illinois. It was organized by Honda-Tech, and well, I didn't even know about it until I told my friends I was heading back to Chicago from Champaign last weekend. There was probably about a total of around 200 cars...

    Massive Fail!

    Ugh. My Accord is stuck in my buddy's garage propped up on jackstands right now... Anyways, we ran into some issues when we were putting back the front and rear suspension back together. Essentially, the entire passenger side of the car is completely ****ed up. For the front passener...

    aint no balla

    So I finally got a new bumper and hood so that I can complete a Sedan > Coupe front end swap. I figured that I should probably paint it myself. I mean, how hard can it possibly be? (hopefully I'm not just ambitious but rubbish) So, I did find the exact color that was sprayed onto me Accord...

    iz i kwazie?

    So, I've digged through multiple threads regarding lowering springs. I know I want coilovers, but honestly speaking, I really cannot afford to drop so much money in my car before I head off to college. I've hunted down the price for Ksports and have kept an eye out for used coilovers, but the...

    Can't Decide!

    So I'm in a situation... I only started working for the summer before I head off to college. Now before I do, I definitely want to do some things to my car. The problem is, as of right now, I don't know if I'm going to take my car with me or not. So, I'm definitely going to drop my ride...

    Don't you hate it when...

    [WARNING - LONG STORY] Idiots ruin everything you do? There was a meet here in Chi-Town last night at a UIC parking garage. Every make and model were welcomed, so we were expecting a wide variety of cars. When my friends and I pulled up in the garage at 9PM, there were already some cool whips -...

    In need of some advice...

    Not so sure where else I could really put this...but here goes (Sorry...not exactly the shortest of stories) So I've been with this girl now for 2 years and 8 months. For me, that's one hell of a long time considering that we're still in high school. And I mean she was so awesome - she...
