David’s Honda S2000
Jaw dropping, yet elegant in execution, David’s S2000 is a masterclass in being clean, simple and slammed. It kicks off with a full respray in Honda OEM deep purple, a colour only available on the Honda Odyssey of years gone by. The deep purple appears black until light hits it. A rich violet hue only then becomes apparent to the eye. The occupants are covered by an OEM hardtop and held in by a pair of Recaro SPG bucket seats. We’ve been told that the front bar is the only one in Australia; it’s a rare CR version that was only released in the UK, Japan and the US. Other bits include a Voltex Wing and rear diffuser, and carbon fibre side diffusers and strakes to round out the rest of the exterior bodywork. You might notice that this S2000 is laying on its rails. Thanks to an Air Lift suspension kit with a custom boot install, the 18in super clean Work Meister S1s tuck into the wheel arches at a touch of a button. There is little need to modify the F20C other that forced induction, but David has chucked on HKS headers and a Hi-Power exhaust to help liven up the driving experience.
KustomKraft Fabrication’s drift Mitsubishi Evolution 8 was on display at HIN, bonnet ajar to show that this is a truly one of a kind car. Extensive fabrication work feature throughout the ride, all for the purpose of sliding and smoking the rear tyres for as long as the driver want to. The almighty 4G63 has switched from transverse to longitudinally mounted; its cam gears now faces forward. Stroked and forged for power and reliability, the 2.4L engine gets fed air and fuel through a Garrett GTX3582R and a set of 2000cc ID injectors. A Haltech
ECU and Turbosmart goodies ensure that E85 and spark are delivered correctly where needed. All this power is sent straight to the rear wheels courtesy of a Tremac TR6060 in a custom bell housing, driving a custom tail shaft and turning a R32 GTR rear differential. It also looks stunning thanks to a full wrap from Prowraps and Graphics, taking out the Hottest Livery award.
Chris’ Time Attack RX-7
Voltex, Bride, RE-Amemiya, Feed, RAYS, GReddy, Craftsquare, Cusco, HKS…the list of top shelf JDM parts goes on and on and on. Chris’s Mazda RX-7 has been a long build, as each modification or part is simply the best he could get for the car. Supplied and mostly installed by Garage 88, purveyors of high end car modifications, the RX-7 is a regular fixture at their workshop. The track inspired kit and style came from Chris’ own desire to race in the World Time Attack Challenge, and all that aggressive aero isn’t just for show; they actually enable the rotary coupe to corner at dizzying speeds. Propelling the beast is a custom HKS T04S single turbo setup, running E85 on 14psi. Motive force is directed through a OS Giken enhanced gearbox and a Cusco Pro Adjust rear LSD. Inside, a pair of Bride seats hug the driver and passenger firmly, while a Vertex steering wheel helps the pilot steer the RX-7.
Junior’s Phat 180SX
Straight outta Japan and given an Hot4s twist, Junior’s Nissan 180SX snaps necks easily wherever it goes. The 180SX used to be Junior’s daily driver, but when he got side swiped in traffic, he decided to go all out with the rebuild. The aggressive looking Rocket Bunny V2 kit was chosen for this car, and repainted in a custom House of Kolor Gold. It’s got so much flake it in you swear it’s glitter up close. Filling up those widened guards are 18in Volk Racing TE37Vs with negative offsets, running on Nitto Invo rubber. There’s inner beauty too, with the interior retrimmed in black suede and fitted with Bride seats. Under the bonnet, a Garret GTX2867R has been fitted to the SR20DET, and a Haltech PS1000 brain ensures it works together with a custom CAI and front mount intercooler to pump out around 250kW. The lack of a rear bumper exposes the XForce Varex exhaust muffler; required as Junior daily drives this 180SX everywhere! As he doesn’t believe in bags, it’s been slammed to the ground thanks to a set of BC Racing coilovers.
