Know Your Roots

From the very beginning of my interest in cars started with hondas... Everything from Wagovans to EKs to DB8s even Odysseys, I love them all. While things like RWD and Honda theft have detered me from owning any more of them, it always makes me happy when I get to shoot a well put together honda, or two for that matter.

Take for example Mike's TSX and Clive's EP3 Civic. Mike's TSX had been catching my eye more and more with it's clean and subtle lines combined with some unique touches.

The colgate green combined with very well done graf work really makes the bay pop.

In contrast to the sleek TSX, Clive has a nice and simple civic that gets down when he plants the gas. I've known Clive since years back when I lived in Arizona, and it's nice to see this car still going strong and now cruising the streets of Chicago.

IND Builds a Masterpiece

Constantly working with IND has allowed me the opportunity to see lots of things outside of my usual realm of the automotive world. So naturally when they asked me to be on hand to document the teardown and build of one of their most in depth portfolio projects from start to finish, I had to be a part of it. No expense was spared on this car, and it shows in every top of the line part on it.

For details on what went into this masterpiece take a look at the writeup and my photos in our BMW Blog feature:

Burn the Clock by IND

And I leave you with the finished product in all of its glory.

Risky Devil Lost Photos '09 -- Honda Civic with a Body Kit

Trying to keep a car clean and going to trackdays becomes a constant battle for most. You buy a bumper and get the car looking good, but the first event out you clip the rear on a haybail or drag the front bumper off on a rumble strip. This never ending cycle often leaves people with a haggard or beaten looking car mere days after getting it out of the paint booth, but looking back on pictures from before the car became damaged goods is enough to remind you that it was all worth it.

Josh, the owner of this 180 is always talking about the aura of cars, which is fitting because his car has an aura unlike any other. No pictures can capture the presence of this thing in any of its many stages, and no words are worth describing it. Seeing a car like this on the street hovering millimeters above the ground with the engine sparking from the hoodless bay is enough to put a smile on anyone's face.

After a long hiatus big things are in store for this car in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out.

Part two of these lost chronicles centers around a car that has become well known to everyone. Candy red paint gleamin', stuntin on MAEs, this car sets the standard for classy s14s... Since these photos were shot the car has gone through a complete refresh, but showcasing this car in this state will never get old.

As the '09 season came to a close, we attempted to get all of the Risky Devil cars together and photographed for a group feature. However, as things started coming together we realized that there was no way we would be able to get all of the cars together in a few group shots with scheduling conflicts and cars not running. We had hoped to finish the set off in spring, but with all the changes being made to the cars we decided to scrap the project and start all over.

So here is the first of several sets featuring Dave and Ilia's FC's.
