It is NOT a Tiburon

Photos and words by Brad Sillars   Let’s be real, Hyundai caught a bad rap some years ago.  With a fleet of econo-class grocery-getters and their flagship Tiburon, they were a joke in the enthusiast community.    Enter the Genesis Coupe.  FR layout with an option for a 2.0L turbo’d 4cyl combined with a 6speed…

Wekfest Chicago

Brad here checking in with some Wekfest Chicago coverage.  The midwest came out with a GREAT showing and an awesome variety of rides.  Thankfully it was an indoor show as mother nature decided Chicago needed a monsoon in the morning.  Hopefully this is the first of many future shows that the Fatlace family facilitates here…

Welcome to the Thunderdome

This weekend I made the journey from Chicago to Rockford Illinois.  My destination: Rockford Speedway, aka the Thunderdome.  The folks over at Perfect Soundz Automotive in Libertyville Illinois rent out the track and hold an open invitation Drift/Autox event with all skill levels welcome.  They did single person runs, 3 lap sessions all day long. …

Z33 meets Greddy Twins

By now the Z33 has been around for a while.  Prices are dropping and it seems like every high school kid with 10 grand can pick one up with miles on it and have money left to mod it.  We’ve all seen our fair share of them with the usual Nismo or Veilside kits, atrocious…

Sergey’s MR2

The MR2 is one of those ’90s Japanese cars that is often overlooked.  When I see them in the wild, is most often un or lightly modified, beaten up, and honestly not all that memorable if you didn’t have appreciation for mid-engined sports cars.  But if you were to ever see Sergey’s MR2 weaving around…

Chicago: Supercar Saturdays

Supercar Saturdays came to fruition when a group of Chicago car enthusiasts, jealous of California morning car meets, decided to create an event of our own. We’d like to consider ourselves to be original; but the concept is the same: set up an event to bring car enthusiasts of all types together in one place…

Project X BBQ

I can never say enough great things about Project X here in Chicagoland.  From providing outstanding service to letting me work on my own personal Z32 in their garage, these guys are quickly setting the standard for what a shop should be.  Today they opened their doors to the local enthusiast community for a meet…
