Japan - Hong Kong - UK, a well traveled 34 GTR by @shinocantdrive

I need more Fit/Jazz friends here in the UK :(

Made a few minor tweaks to the car (no exterior changes). Installed a @honed_developments CDV delete which transformed the pedal feel completely, it's so easy to install and so cheap. As far as value for money goes, this product is definitely a must have. Alongside a new Exedy clutch, spirited driving in this car is so good now.

Also changed up the brakes, installed Project Mu HC-CS pads all round and some MTec slotted discs. The car literally stops on a dime it's crazy. This paired with a new alignment setup, -2° camber up front, the car now handles like a different car. Honestly one of the most stable chassis I've ever driven.

Few things yet to arrive from overseas, main ones being a Mugen spoiler and Cusco strut bars. But until then, I'm super happy with the way the car looks and drives! by @shinocantdrive

From Hong Kong to London. Two well-travelled GTRs.

At this point, I've known @fc3spat for many years but these two cars have never been next to each other even when they were still in Hong Kong. That finally changed, both of us decided to bring our Skylines to @gateway.atm to meet up with the homies and chill.

Two ex-HK GTRs next to each other here in the UK honestly felt quite surreal. It was a special moment for sure. Red 33R & blue 34R; both cars with very interesting backstories from halfway across the world.

Glad we finally broke the curse and brought the cars together. by @shinocantdrive

[Machine Check: S2000 AP2]

As some of you may know, this is my mum's car. She's had it for about 12 years now and it is one of the most uniquely spec'd S2000s I've ever seen.

Finished in Platinum White Pearl and paired with blue soft top, it's definitely an elegant colourway for an S2000. Alongside this, the car sits on a set of 17x9 +45 Enkei RPF1s wrapped in 245/40/17 Toyo Proxes Sport 2s, a tried and tested wheel pairing for an S2000 in the perfect size. Other than that, the exterior is kept fairly simple or OEM+ as some might say. Since RPF1s are now considered "AP2v4s", I guess it counts.

The interior is also left untouched, what is there to change when the factory specification is already so spectacular. Rare for an S2000 is the two tone Suzuka Blue and black combination. Featuring a blue seats and blue carpets, a black dash and center console. It's a combo I have never seen in another S2000, not even online.

Underneath the car is where things get slightly more interesting. For footwork, it runs HKS Hipermax GT coilovers and has M&M racing front and rear strut bars for better chassis stiffness. Project Mu Type HC-CS brake pads and Dixcel ZD discs also help give the car the stopping power it needs. When I said "slightly" more interesting, I really meant slightly. The S2000 is a car that doesn't need much to be perfect, a minor tune up like this is more than enough.

My mum is toying with the idea of selling this at some point. So if you want to purchase this vehicle for way over market value then gimme a shout. by @shinocantdrive

8/8 is RX-8 day!

Can't believe I've spent 5 years with this stupid car already. I could've fully bought an FD3S by now with the money I've thrown at it. But alas, I love this car and I wouldn't change it for anything else.

This is a forever car. Here's to many more miles (I hope). taken in London, United Kingdom by @shinocantdrive

[Machine Check: @_elle_holmes 's NA MX-5]

Saying this is one of the most comprehensive MX-5 builds is honestly an understatement. I don't even know where to start. From the exterior to the engine to the interior, no aspect was left untouched and no detail was ignored.

Sporting a CarbonMiata Type 2 widebody kit, a NoPro JTCC spoiler from the 90s and a Tomica livery like the DR30 Super Silhouette, this is one unique Miata. The exterior styling is all coherent and everything makes sense, from the Jetstream pop-up delete to the Garage Vary taillight panel, each part has its own spotlight and isn't overshadowed by anything else. So much passion was poured in to this machine and it shows, the owner even went as far as making their own fastback to get the look they wanted.

To complete the exterior, the car sits on a set of special edition black anodized RAYS TE37Vs in 15x8 +0 & 15x9 -5 wrapped in Toyo R888Rs. These wheels were a limited production model that was released in 2017 and 2017 only. They come with flat black lips and an anodized textured center, a very special wheel befitting a very special car.

But it doesn't stop there; under the hood is a turbocharged 1.8L pushing 250WHP with rotational idle and antilag. This car isn't all bark and no bite, it's got the power to match its looks. The footwork is pretty good too, running HSD coilovers and TR Lane anti-roll bars, the car is set up to handle like it should. Like I said in the beginning, no aspect was left untouched.

The owner tells me this car is far from finished. I find that hard to believe, but let's see what surprises she's got for us in the future. This is one of my favourite MX-5's and it always will be. Was a pleasure shooting this car. taken in London, United Kingdom by @shinocantdrive

Sometimes great car gatherings don't involve crazy cars, they just have the best car ever made, the Honda Fit.

The 2026 Honda Fit Society UK annual meetup in Oxford was so much fun, getting meet other Jazz/Fit owners was great and seeing what others have done to their "sensible daily" was good inspiration for my own.

[Machine Check: Jas' TBK Porsche 930 Turbo]

What else is there to say, a TBK-kitted 930 Turbo with a Promodet engine in Soho. So out of place yet so fitting.

An all yellow body sitting on a set of colour-matched Work Brombachers, this car has an aura vastly different to anything else on the road today. German engineering perfected by Japanese tuning pedigree is a combo like no other, truly a sight to behold in the heart of London.

@jas_sehmbi is the owner of this monster machine. He is the coolest guy ever and the loveliest person you will ever meet.

I really don't have anything else to say, this is a car that speaks for itself.

[VENGAWORLD SHOREDITCH SHOWDOWN]

London car culture went crazy last night! Every Vengaworld installment is more insane than the last, the ball just keeps on rolling and it won't stop.

No other city in the world would have such organized chaos in the heart of a metropolis. Curated cars in an enclosed venue with street shenanigans happening right outside and massive crowds, stuff like this doesn't even happen in Tokyo. Especially with close to zero police interference.

Sometimes I think we take the freedom we have with cars in the UK for granted. We're given so much space to express ourselves and yet there's people who choose to cross that line. What Vengaworld has created is special and we should protect that.

Another amazing showcase of what London car culture is capable of! Super excited for what's to come!
