Random Beat: LTBMW Track Beast

Here is a shot that I snapped of LTBMW's track BMW E36 M3 early in the morning at Buttonwillow race track. It's featured in the June issue of Bimmer magazine. It's super charged and can keep up with a lot of the other track beasts out there. Enjoy guys! Read More »
We all remember that first car that got us into the scene; that one that got us into spinning wrenches on our new baby making sure we could roll into the local meet with some pride. We spent hours sweating, scratching our heads and cussing as we worked to take that blank canvas of a chassis and turn it into something that would break necks no matter where we went. For some of us, we moved on to another project or maybe just upgraded to something that fit our specific style or taste as the rest stuck to our chassis to meet our goals. Read More »
Road to Atlanta is without a doubt one of the most beautiful tracks in the Formula D races. This year the course consisted of a new reverse layout that was more challenging than ever before. Drivers battled up and down the hills, in and out of the horseshoe blinding spectators with clouds of tire smoke while pounding their vehicles over the F1 rumble strips. With his perfect lines and incredibly close follow runs, Justin Pawlak took home his second win of the year putting him 52 points in the lead for the championship.

I recently had a chance to shoot this amazing beast of a super car, and let's just say, "super car" is an understatement. The sounds that this engine makes is orgasmic and exhilarating. I cherished every moment of my time with it. More photos after the jump! Read More »

A Look Back At: USDM Jam Ver 9.0 (Japan)

When Mick Jagger sang "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in 1969, he was certainly on to something pivotal in regards to the frustrations we as enthusiasts experience in our daily lives with our cars. Interestingly, however, it is the converse of that lyric that has created and fed various scenes around the world; that is, "you always want what you can't get". That idea reverberates throughout our culture everyday, from the diehard Toyota fans begging for the return of the Supra, to FF Honda's fans begging for a legitimate Type-R. Luckily for the scene, few of us stop there. Many JDM and Euro enthusiasts go to great lengths procuring models, parts, and merchandise from our markets of choice.  Whether it's a JDM coin tray or an R34 Skyline, there's a certain feeling of owning something that was never intended for our shores. Not surprisingly, this feeling isn't limited to American gearheads.  For the ninth year in a row, thousands of USDM enthusiasts gathered in the Mie Prefecture to check out the best of what the American car scene has to offer, as interpreted by Japanese enthusiasts.

During my weekend at SoWo (Southern Worthersee),  I came across this beautiful Volkswagen Rabbit. I almost skipped over asking for details assuming the car had seen its way into online features and magazines, but it blew my mind when Dan Santimay said his beautiful 2008 4 door Rabbit has not shown up anywhere before. I knew I had to change that! Read More »
Many of you will remember Brendan Hinds' Audi S5 that we featured a few weeks ago. He originally purchased the car with the intention to keep it stock, but we all know how that story ends. Here's Load It Production's take on that gorgeous S5 and the perfectly fitted Vossen wheels.

Random Beat: 2012 BMW 3-Series F30

Since Bimmerfest is going on today we thought it would be nice to release some BMW related features. If you haven't read our latest feature on Robert Langelier’s E30, then you should. I also wanted to share with you all my current project that my girlfriend and I are building together. It's a new BMW 328i thats inline 4 and turbocharged. It's a more practical car, but that's not stoping us from modifying it. More will come when the car has a lot more things done to it. Until then enjoy. Read More »

Teal With It!: Robert Langelier’s E30

The best thing about builds as intense as Robert’s (Wobbie’s) is how much they reflect their creator. Cars such as Wobbie’s E30 are more a form a self-expression, rather than mechanical ingenuity and know-how; but don’t be fooled, there’s tons of wrench time under the hood of this E30. Read More »
Last weekend, Road Atlanta once again hosted the Formula Drift "Road to the Championship" for the ninth year in a row.  A favorite track for many of the drivers, the course offers both high speeds and close, technical areas, making for an awesome show for the record-setting audience.  Fueled in part by the recent attempt by Atlanta city council's ban on drifting within the city limits, the atmosphere was one of excitement, passion, and camaraderie.  With the scent of tire smoke and BBQ filling the air, Atlanta natives enjoyed a solid two days of professional drifting, Pro-Am up-and-comers, time attack, and Formula 2000 races. It was, without a doubt, the best place to be south of the Mason-Dixon last weekend. Read More »
