Photography & Words by Jordan Donnelly for Canibeat.com
For those of you that don’t know, I have been over here in Australia for the past month visiting my family, hanging out, and shooting cars. Cristian hooked me up with the guys at THE-LOWDOWN.com who lined up some cars for me to shoot, and they do not disappoint! I hadn’t been there more than 3 days and I got a call to meet up with and shoot a bagged 370z.
I met up with the owner – Peter, and the Builder – Tarik at a car wash by my place right as it was being dried. They had literally just finished the car, which is the first COR demo car for Built To Order (the AU/NZ distributor for COR, Rotiform, VIP Modular, and Vossen wheels), and this was the first time it had been out. After showing off to the entire staff of the car wash, and some people passing by, we headed out to shoot.
It was awesome watching peoples reactions to the car as we were driving to the spot. It’s not every day in Australia that you get to see a car like this, as the police here are ridiculous and are trying to rid the road of modified cars (more on that in an upcoming post). Heads were turning at the sight of the massive 20x10f and 20x12r COR Cipher’s poking out, breaking as we aired out the Universal bags, and then just wondering what this thing was when we hit all up on the Accuair E-Level to get over the massive speed tables that we had to conquer to get to the spot.
Specs:
COR Cipher 20x10f 20x12r Fully polished centers with chrome lips.
Universal bags with Accuair E-Level management
Hidden tank/compressors/manifolds/etc
And what a spot it was! Overlooking the downtown Sydney skyline, with the sun setting, it was perfect! Well, we could have done without the freezing wind, but what can you do. Hope you guys enjoyed! More to come from my trip.

July 8, 2011 I came acrsos your blog from your comment on Girl Meets Life. I had to comment because our lives seem too similar! Haha, my name is Kristen, I just got married and am living in a new city in the midwest andddddd it looks like we have the same bowls and plates?! weird. Anyway, my tip for making a treadmill run 100X better is planning it around one of your favorite TV shows

Airbags can be engineered in Australia through the right places, and what Jordan said is right, the police here in Sydney are cracking down on modifed cars like no tomorrow, its good to see people keep lifting above all this and continue to build cars. This one has to be one of the nicest ones getting around at the moment, i cant wait to see what else Jordan throws up from his Australia tour
