Taking it back to 2003 with this Tenzo R sponsored Civic EG. Tenzo R was a US company that popped up during the early tuner days that specialized in knock-off parts. They made wheels, valve covers, seats, and more. What's funny is that these parts became popular in Japan during the Spocom (sport compact) boom. Oh, the EG is on air suspension, I forgot to mention that.

I had a good time at IA. Chris literally made me drive his 600hp 2JZ 4sp dogbox S15. This was my first attempt drifting a car like this. Typically, I drive cars with 300hp🤣. My hands look like I'm fighting 🐝, lol. Thank you, Chris, for letting swing it! The @partsshopmax suspension felt good! Oh, my old 180sx wheels are on the rear!

This is one of my favorite RX7's from when I was a kid. It looks like something out of Tokyo Xtreme Racer. It was owned by the manager of Advan Wheel Designs.

In preparation for the R35 that was still unknown at the time in 2003, Top Secret built this ER34 GTT into a development vehicle to experiment with V6 engines. Since the RB26 went out of production, Smokey knew the next generation GTR would use a V6 configuration. So Smokey dropped a VQ30 with twin HKS turbos. The car wasn't awd, but FR like the standard R34s. You might also notice the car is white & not gold. The demo cars are the only ones to get the signature gold paint. The research vehicles get white paint like the V35 "GTR" & the number 2 RB26 Supra.

I've always been a fan of these cutaway illustrations in Option & Hyper Rev mags.

Was thinking about my old S2000 the other night. I got the Nismo LMGT2 wheels from @used.racingparts when they were only $900, man, how things have changed. I sold this in 2019, I wonder where it is now?
