Default Looking for sick rides for a weekly publication...

I'm looking for the sickest modified import tuners on Oahu to be featured in a weekly publication coming soon. If you think you've got a killer import or exotic, and would like to be on the cover of a widely circulated periodical, give me a yell at support@kalaeloaracewaypark.co​m or call me at 782-7432. Think D-Sport/Modified/Import Tuner style articles and there you go.

We'll set up an interview, do a photoshoot, and get your ride some exposure! We're looking for highly modified beasts that show what the tuning culture is all about. Thanks!

if interested in covering a build let me know i should be starting the second week of march, well engine being sent for bore/hone and balance anyway ill be doing small stuff to prep it until i get the engine back. like bungs for the direct port meth and t1 AIT sensor, wrapping the exhuast componets, building the fire box for fuel swirl pot, meth tank and battery, ect. wont be too showy but will be monstrous for power, i truely intend to see what the 6765 will do at 30-32 lbs of boost =P

have everything i need about 22k in parts sitting in the closet im just still in afghanistan for a little bit longer lol.

im really excited im tempted to have the wife take pics of everything and start the build thread for everyone to drool over the parts. but since its still a few weeks away before the engine even goes off to machine work, plus im still waiting on my pistons and cams(cams where a custom order thing from kelford, doing something a bit different) i have resisted.

Jerry, I think this might be something interesting to cover...not sure how it would fit in the publication as they're focusing on Driver/Car profiles for each week, but it's worth a shot. I'll pass it by the editor.

When do you get back from Afghanistan? (thanks for your service, by the way).

I just got a nice GT-R for the first issue, but this is going to be an on-going thing, so there's plenty of room. If any of you are interested, and want to try it, shoot me an email or call. Thanks!

You'd be surprised how many cars that are on the cover of the big magazines don't run


I'm serious. I actually just worked on a photo shoot of a car that didn't even run lol. It's been in 1 mag already, and we shot it for another big magazine.

I really don't want that sort of ride...if it's not running, I'm probably not going to shoot it.

This is a local rag, and people know what's up as opposed to a national mag. Plus, I'm going performance over show queen as priority.

I've seen those cars pushed or towed into shows and such... first time was HellaFlush 2010. I remember jump starting this kid, at the Wendy's... and then I saw him in the show lol. Had to get jumped again too haha.

And in other news....
my daily driven race car should be back up and running this weekend lol.
