Power Shop Feature :: Auto Talent Los Angeles

December 15, 2010

Some likes them because they stand out among others, some like them because they demand attention from your opposite sex; but to true enthusiast like us, we like them because of the driving experience, and that’s the belief today’s power shop feature stands behind on a daily basis- Auto Talent Los Angeles.

Auto Talent’s owner Sam has been in the industry for years, and has established his shop behind the tuning on many exotic and luxury supercars…

With today’s visit, we were greet by cars piling up all the way out of the shop ready to get worked on..

Photobucket

With this E46M3 being the bare minimum standard for them to work on, you’ll be able to see what else they got pass this 997.1 GT3RS..

Photobucket

not sure why the rear bumper was off the car, but car looks clean from the front..

Photobucket

i’ve been eye’ing this chrono-package for awhile from some of the best 997 models, not sure if it’s possible to adapt it on our demo 911 turbo that came without one though..

Photobucket

anyways, in front of the GT3RS sat a F430’vert that’s pretty much close to stock except some pipe work and ecu tuning..

Photobucket

Photobucket

then there was this record-setting E92M3 that was being prep for the next Texas Miles event..

Photobucket

.. it’s got all the timing setup ready to run!

Photobucket

I love the custom vanity plate on this beast… AMG LOL!

Photobucket

shameless-plug for our fam @ AutoFashion btw!

Photobucket

Gpower in the house!

Photobucket

In one of the corner sat a little turbocharged Lotus Elise w/ a fast 2wheeler..

Photobucket

then high up in the air sat this last air-cooled generation 993 turbo..

Photobucket

while i was taking these pics, some random Gallardo rolled in..

Photobucket

not really feeling the stance on this though..

Photobucket

Don’t really care if its air-switch is on, the front definitely has to sit lower..

Photobucket

Next to the Gallardo I found a crate motor sitting under wrap, I wonder what it could be, HMMMM?!?!?!

Photobucket

then next to it sat this tripple-black Cayenne GTS..

Photobucket

.. which belongs to no other than baby-Cosby:

^whom apparently got a lot bigger through the years…

better be careful next time you see this and say “gotta love that a$$”..

Photobucket

that’s it for now, till next time, you’ll see a lot more of Auto Talent coming in the updated features in our new site-launch coming soon!

JDM x Euro – ShowOpt’s Porsche “911CGT” Build Part VI

December 11, 2010

Not long after the wheels/brakes have arrived, huge boxes from Top Secret Japan have arrived as well; however, we sure were a bit disappointed in the quality of these FRP components from a Japanese vendor with high reputation.

Photobucket

To sum it up, we’ve never seen ‘transparent’ FRP in the past being the finished product, which means the manufacturer didn’t even bother to apply gel-coat layer to get it paint-ready…

Photobucket

And by paying more for the CFRP (Carbon FRP) seems like a huge rip-off as the carbons were patches like the shirt that bums wear on 6th street in downtown LA…

Photobucket

The only piece that we were not disppointed from appeared to be the carbon headlight housings…

Photobucket

At that time, we had our fingers crossed hoping that the test-fitting would not make much more damage to our already expensive bill from the bodyshop.

Movie Cars Preview :: Fast 5

December 2, 2010

Usually I don’t make any post related to this film series, but I’ll give some benefit of doubt for this upcoming 5th installment, featuring the usual suspect while brining out some new cast like The Rock as well as some old ones like Sung Kang / Ludacris / Tyrese…etc. Well, I’ll let you guys be the judge on this one:
