Glory Days

I’m glad I can look back at my glory days and be happy that I never tracked my car because the streets is where my heart is at. I am also happy that I don’t do that shit no more, but don’t get it twisted, that past life is what motivates me til this very second and gives me pure nostalgia every time I think about it.

“Does street racing count?” Yup! In my case it’s Street Running. Even the few auto cross events I’ve attended, I was just teasing myself. Who the fuck was I foolin!? I was always dreaming of running in the streets! 😁👹
Mmhmm. I passed you on this wheel and tire set up. I could of easily ran a Toyo R888 but as my brother Hex would say “those are cheater tires” RUN WHAT YOU GOT.

It doesn’t matter if it’s Wangan Running or Kanjo Running, it’s all Roulette Running at the end of the day. Whether it’s Osaka or Tokyo (or the streets of Sacramento) it’s all the same. The thrill of running is different than an organized race event. Only the ones who do it and have done it can relate. I had nothing to prove back then and I still have nothing to prove now. Long live the glory days.✌️

Missing the Boon

I really miss Osaka JDM running their business out of Car Craft Boon…

当社のデモカーコンセプトは

大阪阪神高速環状線スタイル!

昔からの大阪のスタイル!!

日本でも色々なスタイルが有りますが

シビックといえば、昔から関西が圧倒的人気♪

特に、大阪環状線仕様!!

また、JDMはジャパン・ドメスティック・マーケットの略。(日本(国内)市場のこと。)

日本のパーツメーカー、またはそれに準ずるメーカーが供給するパーツを用いて、北米の視点から見て車両をカスタムする手法がJDMとされています。
って事で、大阪のHONDAスタイルをリアルに真似てみろ!!

海外に日本の・・・いや大阪の文化!環状線HONDAスタイルを伝えることが大阪JDMブランドのメインコンセプトなのです。

脈々と受け継がれるHONDA DNA・・・
大阪が今よりも元気だったあの頃・・・・
大阪の文化!
環状族が沸かしたあの頃のスタイルを
今ここに・・・・・

Spec R Garage

My friend Jabroo opened his own shop a few months back. Introducing: Spec R Garage

If the red EF looks familiar, it’s because that’s Adoobo’s Civic. Fun fact about that car, it has an authentic Mugen N1 spec roll cage pulled from an N1 EF Civic.

Much love and respect to my brothers in Dubai! ✌️

A Visit To Garage Star

gs1

Last week, I paid a visit to my buddy Kenjo at his shop, Garage Star.
Some of you might have seen the article which Mike Garrett posted on SpeedHunters last year. Since then, I knew that when I would go back to Sacramento I had to see his new location.

gs2 gs3

Parking is very limited in his lot. Which is occupied by his employees and friends, most of the time.
First come, first serve!

Walking right in, you can’t miss the glorious wall of wheels being displayed. Some of them are for sale by the way!
(If you’re interested, visit Circuit Dreamer)

gs6gs5

All of Kenjo’s products are made in house, in the good ‘ole USA!

Looking out from inside the shop I noticed a 1976 Celica pulling up. I found out it belongs to Tom, one of the owners of Circuit Dreamer.

Man, I miss living the independent car shop life.
Til next time, Kenjo… Peace!
