Snap shot | 4.2L Nissan 350z

3 12 2009

A 4.2L Nissan 350Z? Great! More power in a discreet package is always a plus in my mind. I think the 4.2L comes courtesy of an engine swap, like a Titan V8 (if were being brand loyal, lol). But I don’t now for sure. Anyway, as the Americans say, there’s no repclament for displacement.

XTERC Nissan Silvia by Chris Basher

24 11 2009

While backtracking some flickr-portfolios of my contacts, I came across this Nissan Silvia s15 by XTERC. Not only is the car great to look at (maybe the wing is just a bit too big, but everything else is spot on!), but the sharpness and lighting is spot on in this photoshoot. Top marks for Chris Basher!

Snap shot | Dirty R

28 10 2009

A white GT-R with the track muck still on it… I like! How much I like cars to shine and be pretty, everytime I see a dirty, used and abused supercar, sportscar or racing car, my hart skips a beat. Just seeing the dirt makes me think of long straights, sharp turns and mindnumbing speed. The first time I had this feeling was when I saw the Audi R8 that raced at the Le Mans 24hrs on a car show, still covered in grime, muck and dirt. Awesome!

Thanks for bringing back memories Dennis!

Megan Racing Promo by Jesse

20 10 2009

Jesse of KinoD did a promo shoot for Megan Racing at Willow Springs. I think the following shots of the Megan Racing R35 GT-R are absolute top notch. Considering the difficult conditions (high heat and harsh light) the quality is outstanding.

One the top RX-7s of Holland, the Jeroentje.nl Mazda RX-7 at JAF (Japanese Autosport Festival) at Assen. Built for the track and to showcase his shop. This car has, amongst a whole lot of other things, a V-Mount set and thoroughly reworked engine. Nice!
