Feature: From Rags to Riches
The phrase “from rags to riches” was the last thing I wanted to call this feature, but the more Peter told me the story I couldn’t believe how the car had turned out. Eventually I realised after trying to come up with something a little bit more imaginative, this car truly earned the title. The common build we see in the United States of a bog standard civic being converted into a flawless masterpiece in both the exterior and interior is really something that has only started to come around over here in Ireland over the last few years.

Event Japfest PT2
What I love about Japfest is the amount of racing and activities that are on throughout the day as well as the show thats inside the paddock. It can be a somewhat overhwleming task to cover everything as you have time attack, Prodrift, drag racing and track time on all at the same time. There’s something for everyone.
Random Juice: Toyota Yolk
I see this Altezza quite a lot and this time had the camera to take a snap. There’s just something so right about it being yellow and having those Advan Model 5′s poke out like that on the rear.
Prodrift Round 1: Ennis Pt2
Waking up early Sunday morning and looking out the window to see another day of glorious weather was a rare feeling. Just as things got underway the track claimed another car as we saw a collision between Damien Short’s Corolla and Nick Quealy and his R32. Sadly for Damien the 86 would not make it back onto track for the rest of the event.

Random Juice: Craziest of them all?
This has to be one of the craziest looking EVO IV’s in the world.
Random Juice: More like this please!
Damn this Pulsar is mean, sitting pretty on those Advan RGII’s, Not too many of these have ever really been played around with, and most more or less look the same. But this track monster is the first RNN14 Ive ever really been excited about.
