Just as fashionably late our posts seems to be, the guys at riceboytv.com "Failure to Launch" is now online. With new weekly updates, the site is Harold & Kumar-ish than your other websites.
Check out their version of Chinatown Showoff coverage www.riceboytv.com
For anyone that is a wee bit interested in motorsports probably heard of the prestigious 24hr of Le Mans race held annually in the US. This new event I discovered takes the icing on the cake of true motorsports. As I was laughing while browsing the site while thinking of entering this race myself. All you need is a $500 total car budget of a bucket, since the name LeMons was born (lemons - piece of crap car)
I will let the pictures and the site speak for itself. There are 2 events in Nor Cal this year so check it!
Just wanted to give you a teaser of the next upcoming Xclusiv feature. It features JP Cao's EG Showoff winning EG Civic that tears the competition apart. If (and only if) the redesign gets done we can show you this dope car but rest assured, it will be on our upcoming fliers for Nisei Week show!
JP's EG Civic
Also you can check out this car at our upcoming JDM vs. DTM car show inside Formula D on April 12th.
For those that follow drifting, this might be old news but a fellow Japanese native and friend of mine - Daijiro Yoshihara has a new home with RMR (Rhys Millen). This year, Rockstar decided to drop the sponsorship for the Pac Rim S15 Silvia and Dai was in limbo to compete in 2008. Obviously, RMR sees the talent in Dai that they are going to accommodate him with the FD championship winning GTO but will feature new upgrades.
You might remember this car plastered with Red Bull graphics all over the yellow & blue, but the 2008 graphics will no longer run the energy drink branding. This years title sponsor will no longer be energy drinks but be in much "white" colors. Want to know who is the new sponsor? You will just need to follow up in Dai's blog for more!
Since we been gone a quick minute, just wanted to let you know we are not sleeping - up soon is V2 of Uber Auto. The new changes will be a new name ("Auto" is too general in our world) so we present to you Showoffcafe.com presents UBER TUNING coming soon!
Going back to the program check what we found at our friends at www.treehugger.com . We at Showoff have recently become eco-conscious so to share with you is this modified Civic EG that goes 95mpg. Drag racers take note cause this styling might catch on!
It was a stroke of luck that Justin Pawlak and I linked up. Mark Arcenal (www.fatlace.com) linked me up with Charlie, main organizer of Just Drift and we ended up sponsoring the Just Drift and Drift Battle series as well as Drift Association. So Justin takes first place in the Just Drift series and ends up copping a free set of Shallen CX wheels . . . [ + ]
