Event Coverage: Formula D/Fatlace 1of1: Title Fight (Part 2)
October 10, 2010
Not too many words can describe how intense the final round of Formula D went. It was the most spectacular drifting event ever, making the event title 'Title Fight' sound perfect!
If you haven't kept up by watching it live on the net or were not there in person, Tanner Foust won the overall title of FD and Vaughn Gittin Jr. won the 2010 FD championship. The last rounds between these two amazing drifters were intense! The judging came down to 'one more time' after Round 7, but the ultimate Tanner Foust was just too hard to beat. As much as spectators enjoyed the battles amongst the drifters, they had some great time checking out the vendors and entertainment booths.
That's what Formula D is all about. Watch, relax, and to have fun.

Event Coverage: New Dimensions - Longo Scion (M2-Motoring)
September 13, 2010
Night-Import: Photography by William Lee

New Dimensions was going on yesterday for Scion owners @ Irwindale Speedway.
Left pretty early, but the pre-staging parking lot was packed!
Looked around for awhile...and was looking for cars to take pics of...
andddd to be honest, I didn't want to take any pics of other cars except BB Squad. A lot of the cars weren't my taste at all so I walked around taking pics of wheels, mostly xB's, and couple of tC's.

Random Spotlight: Stance tC's in SoCal
August 16, 2010
Night-Import: Photography by William Lee
Whew. Uploading and editing more than 200 pictures is a PITA!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, I want to apologize for some writing/identifying mistakes on the NISEI event. I really have a hard time identifying the original model of a car when it's all fixed up. If I make a mistake, let me know and I'll edit the post asap!
OK! So continuing the post of NISEI's, I've told you guys that I went to the Unlock the tC event @ Santa Monica. Right after I rolled in, the Stance tC's were rolling in and luckily, all of the stance ones were in front line except one.
Here are some sick tC's I met during the event.
Ben aka BlktC

From Rowland Heights, Ben won the "Best Stance" category at the event.
I don't know any tC's on Work Meisters, and if there is one, I bet that person is not on 17x10's like Ben.

This ride is SLAMMED!!! No lip kit or anything. It doesn't need one because it's low enough. His ride is on B&G Coilovers so basically, the car can touch the ground :D

So we were talking about random shet and Domo-Kun came up. Ben opens his trunk and check this out. The whole family! Mom, Dad, Sons, daughters, Cousins...
FYI, the car is for sell and G35 is next!!!!!! (VIP Sedan!!!)

Does this car need an introduction? I guess not because it's been featured on Canibeat and was a big hit. Actually, still is a big hit :)
But for those who don't know him,
alllllll the way from WA, the owner of this slammed tC is Mark.
Not from Socal, but drove a longgg way to see his friends and such, so he's in the SoCal category for today.

Currently on SSR Viennas, he is trying to switch up to another set. It's a secret so I have no idea what is next.
Check out Canibeat for the full list of mods on Mark's ride. Yea yea~ I know my pics suk compared to Mike's from Canibeat :) But seriously, the pics are jaw breaking.

VIP? Street? Mixed? I don't really know, but this tC has all the quality parts.
Kain drives this sexy tC and he put a lot of work into it.

Work Varianzas, Bride Gias seats, full Five Axis lip kit.. goes on and on and on. The guys didn't like the seats because they couldn't fit 100%, but I LOVE IT!
Kain was the first guy I actually talked to at the event. He's trying to do something new to his car, so I'm looking forward to see the outcome :)
Done with the introductions.


Dropped by the Gas Station.
We all rolled down to Cal Poly Pomona to do a shoot.
Location was on point, but because my camera doesn't have the capibility to take some fabulous shots at night, some came out nasty.
Some good shots @ the top of the parking structure.




Now get ready for some horrible shots. Inside the structure.






I'm at the right :)
Good seeing ya guys and hope to do a shoot again!!

Random Spotlight: tC + VS-XX = WIN!
July 21, 2010
There are so many cars out there that deserves a coverage and I am glad to be the first person to write my own for a fellow Korean tC owner, Jin, aka riboflavin. If you check WFC or ScionLife often, Jin is one of those tC owners that know what's up with the hellaflush scene. I know for sure that this tC stands out in his area because of the unique custom paint job that was done to his car. By the way, this is the ONLY tC with this color. Perfectly stanced with WORK VS-XX wheels, nothing can go wrong. I nearly spent more than 10 minutes looking at his pictures with amazement.
Thanks Jin for the detailed info about your ride. Great job!

Scion tC doing it right!
July 20, 2010
As a Scion tC owner, it is pretty hard to find a tC that is properly stanced. Scion tC's define "sexiness" once it is slammed with the right wheels.
Mark, known as Fliphm00b at various forums and sites, put A LOT of work to make his car look attractive to the stance scene. The full story of his coverage can be found at Canibeat.
I remember talking to Mark when I started to be involved in the hellaflush area. His help is one of the reasons why my car is stanced as of today. Congradz Mark!
