2012

We have a special treat for all of our US based viewers! As some of you may heard our friends over at USDM FREAX are doing a special edition featuring yours truly Canibeat.com! Our friends over in japan helped cover our First Class Fitment 2012 show and interviewed our staff (Cristian, Roy & Dave) while they were here. Due to this being a Japanese publication it might be a tad difficult to find a copy locally so we have worked things out with USDM FREAX to help get all of our fans issues! Simply head on over to our store and purchase a pre-order of the magazine and the moment we get our shipment in we will forward you an issue! Read More

The Mk6. When Volkswagen unveiled it, I must admit, I was stoked. The front was aggressive and angry; the side, sleek and smooth. The back was just as evil looking as the front.  There is no question why the new Mk7 design is so similar to the Mk6 chassis. Read More

After last years controversial layout that was reconfigured this year for a less dangerous design due to flying debris, Formula Drift made sure that this year would go as planned while still being able to capture all the excitement. This years challenge consisted of a high speed entry that immediately slowed to a sharpening corner and drivers were being challenged to their max to keep their cars on track in style. Points leader Justin Pawlak was able to fight off 2010 champion, Vaughn Gettin Jr., only to fall short to Daigo Saito's V8 Killer. Though a few people argued this as dirty driving, Daigo Saito was able to fool many of the top drivers by taking odd lines to gain an edge on the competition. The FD Judges seemed unamused but Daigo's follow runs were nothing short of perfect. And after the top 4 battles, Daigo pulled out all the stops smashing the competition with his 2Jz powered monster earning him the win in Florida.

For those of you who have never been to Canada, the fitment scene is alive and well in Toronto! Fitted Showcase is an annual show hosted by our friends at Stretch & Poke and this year we teamed up with Chris Chu from Backstage Productions to capture the event and all that Canada's aggressive fitment culture has to offer. Stretch & Poke hosted the first aggressive fitment event in Toronto, and most likely Canada back in 2010. Now in their 3rd year of hosting the event both the number and quality of cars has grown. With over 500 cars packing out Downsview Park this year this looks like an event everyone should look forward to for years to come! Read More
