Three years of ownership, plenty of changes, and a reminder that the best cars are rarely ever finished.

This R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R has evolved over time, with its owner continuing to refine the car while keeping the character that made him fall for it in the first place.

One of the latest additions is a @csf_radiators cooling upgrade, with a new radiator installed to help keep the RB26’s temperatures in check. A practical improvement that makes plenty of sense for a car you want to keep driving.

Sometimes, the best part of owning a car is seeing where the journey takes you.

Las Vegas has never been short on spectacle. Add a drift car and things get a little more interesting.

@formulad in Sin City brought the world of professional drifting to the bright lights of Las Vegas, with drivers pushing their cars to the limit in a setting that felt every bit as high-stakes as the city itself.

Smoke, noise and very little margin for error made for an exciting evening of drifting - where the rewards were high, but so were the consequences.

Some snaps from last weekend in Las Vegas with @formulad. The weather wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, considering Vegas's infamous heat.

Some snaps of the new Nissan Z Kaze T-Top concept that I shot a few days ago. Love the concept, throwing it back to the 300ZX. The refinished LMGT2 wheels really set off the look for me. Really hope we see this go into production.

A dinner in Düsseldorf led to one seriously good Toyota GR Supra.

After chatting with @sungkangsta over sushi, the idea for his A90 taking on an @adro.inc makeover quickly became a reality. The result is a restrained mix of carbon aero, custom BBS wheels and @kw_suspension V3 coilovers.

A few months later, the finished car was revealed at a private launch at ADRO's US headquarters in Irvine, where the covered-up Supra was finally unveiled to a room full of industry names and automotive media.

With its 20-inch BBS LM II Unlimiteds, duckbill-style rear wing and carbon aero, it’s a Supra that manages to stand out without going completely overboard — exactly what Sung wanted from the build.

After Indianapolis turned into a lake, @formulad needed a good weekend. Seattle delivered.

Round 6 of the 2026 FD season took over Evergreen Speedway for a night-time Throwdown, with the newly installed floodlights completely changing the look of the event.

With smoke hanging over the grandstands and triple-digit entry speeds, the night format made for some seriously good photography – and an atmosphere that felt noticeably more rowdy than the usual daytime Seattle round.

On track, @conorshanahan79 took the win and closed the gap to championship leader James Deane, while Branden Sorensen finally broke his podium drought to move into third in the standings.

With just two rounds left, the championship is still very much up for grabs.

We recently covered a real-life @forzahorizonofficial Festival in the UK. This time, we’re heading across the Pacific to Seattle.

@typesauto Night Lights brought the Forza community together at Turn 10 Studios during Formula DRIFT, with a carefully curated mix of PNW builds filling the lot as the sun went down.

From GR Supras, GR86s and GR Corollas to McLaren 750Ss and some seriously creative builds, the event had the same mix of cars and personalities that makes Forza Horizon’s virtual car meets so much fun.

With the Forza team on hand, it was also a chance to see the people behind the game spending an evening amongst the real-world community that continues to influence it.

@formulad in Seattle never disappoints. The PNW shows up to a sold out event every year. This was the first time FD hosted the main event at night. Being able to capture some images of these guys drifting in the evening was quite the treat. Having a somewhat drama-free weekend, relative to the last FD round in Indianapolis where it rained out, was something the entire field of drivers, team members, staff, and media needed. Onto the next.

RIP Oliver Tree. His music slaps and his character was exhilarating. His "larger than life" energy perfectly matched the eclectic vibes of Gridlife Midwest where he headlined in 2019. It was where I was first introduced to him and his music. He's been on my weekly rotation of music streams since.

Formula DRIFT has been visiting Orlando for the last 10 years, and it’s easily produced some of the best driving each season. On paper, it’s a pretty basic track with two turns and a single transition in the middle. In reality, though, the drivers say it’s a lot more difficult. Coming off the bank, your suspension slams on the ground into the infield, before jumping through the transition that almost lifts the car (at least that’s what it looks like in photos).

The relatively simple layout makes for some tight tandems and equally amazing drift photos in my opinion. However, the downside to all that is the weather. Not only is it hot and humid, but rain is all but guaranteed during the FD Orlando weekend. This year, it rained on us five times in the two days. And this is not light rain you imagine yourself dancing in, but more of the torrential kind that plays at the climax of a romantic comedy movie where the protagonists profess their love for each other. Or if you’re in a serious mood, it’s the type of rain that comes down during a video game boss fight where you die 12 times before ultimately calling it quits for the night…

Car, recently.

Been driving this less and less this last year and it kinda hurts. I thought maybe I was falling out of love with it. I took it up my local canyons and realized I was not, in fact, falling out of love with it. I'm just too busy. Really, I just need to be driving this thing at every waking moment of my life....

Anyway, it's Friday y'all. Enjoy it.

My roommate snapped some with his new film camera.
