Nissan GT-R / Skyline

Image
A s many of you might have already noticed, I'm a big Nissan follower, and a big GT-R fan. Why? Simple, as I grew up the family car was a Nissan. Ever since I have loved Nissan's. But, the Nissan GT-R it's such a beastly car with so much raw power on a V6 and an outstanding performance, that it is one of my favorite cars. Only four men assemble the GT-R's engines. They are known as Takumi (no, not the Initial D Takumi). These Takumi are master craftsmen who perfected their skills over years of dedication. Each Takumi inspects for quality and precision. Each GT-R engine has a plaque with the signature of the Takumi who assembled it. Car lovers and enthusiasts know or might have heard at least of the Nurburgring, or at least you might have raced it in Gran Turismo or something. The GT-R made an astonishing 7:08:679 in 2013,making the GT-R the fastest production car in the world. In 1989 the Skyline GT-R (BNR32) was named Godzilla by an Australian moto...

H ello , it's been a while since I last posted. I have a job now and I almost dont have time for blogging. If you haven't done it yet, follow me on my INSTAGRAM account. So, there are some pictures from February's Racing Expo that I haven't posted, so here they are. I'm going to start with Subaru today. I am a huge Nissan fan, but Subaru has won over a place in my heart too. Oh, and by the way, the new GTR is out, so expect a post soon! Since 1992 the Impreza has been an icon on the racing world. Specially when it comes to the WRX (World Rally Experiment or World Rally Cross, as it's known in other places) with the Rally inspired performance, including the all-wheel drive mode, a stiffened suspension, and the turbocharged four cylinder engines. There's also the WRX STI(Subaru Tecnica International), an upgraded version of the WRX model. Being a very successful car in the world of rally and very popular among the street racers, and car culture overall...

Evo FE

N o, FE doesnt stands this time for faith in spanish. FE is what Mistubishi made of the Evo. The Final Edition. The end of this high performance sports sedan. The first gen Evo came in 1992 and it featured a 2.0L DOHC turbocharged engine with AWD. In 2003 Mitsubishi saw the success of the Impreza WRX STi from Subaru and decided to make a run for the Evo in the US market. A long time favorite car for car enthusiasts and people who love precise handling and speed. And Turbo.  The Evo X hasn't been updated since it appeared in 2007. Some complains include the Recaro seats being only available for one trim of the Evo and the lack of the steering wheel adjusting to the front. This year, the Lancer features a refreshed front design, and that's it. And the Evo features its final edition. Compared to a Subaru Impreza, the Evo lacks many things and features. But who cares? An Evo is an Evo! So, what's new for this Final Edition? All black interior with red stitchi...
