We got a new project car to play with. Just in for some color matched factory wheels and some interior mods. Nothing major…. yet.

This past Saturday we hosted our first meet of the summer and as always we had the guys from Ultimate Dent Removal on hand to remove dents. It was a small gathering but a great chance for customers to visit our shop on a Saturday when we’re normally closed.

A little while back our good friend at Attic asked us to bring some cars out to use for a music video for a relative unknown group called Far East Movement. Now that Far East Movement has blown up big time I finally got around to sorting the pics we took from that day.

Here’s the video!

I’ve been overseas for the last 3 weeks and couldn’t find any time to post any blog updates but there will be many to come in the next few days from my trip. Go Tuning Unlimited will be unveiling many new things this year, new websites (plural), new distribution brands, new products, tons of new pictures, and we finally have a facebook page now!

Just one pic for now.

If you have ¥3,000,000+ (~$37,500) then you can have 350ps (345hp) too. J’s Racing has just built this 350ps N/A monster using their special super flow cylinder head, Toda ITB/Manifold setup, custom 2.4L kit, and an Motec M400 ecu.

Special silencer exhaust is required to achieve 350ps…

Another year, another SEMA. Domestics seemed to dominate this year’s show, especially the Camaro. There weren’t any notable cars for us hardcore JDM enthusiasts other than a couple CR-Z’s at Honda’s booth this year. One of my favorite cars of the show was Honda’s CR-Z Hybrid R Concept which was designed by Five Axis, always a fan of their work. Too bad the aero parts will never see production but it’s always nice to see a clean production quality, one-off aero kit.

Out in the parking lot, Top Gear America was promoting their new History Channel show by giving people rides in taxi yellow supercars. It was a creative promotional idea but didn’t seem to get much attention.

Another customer who was tired of STi reliability and jumped ship into an S2000 timed his car purchase just right to coincide with the arrival of another batch of ASM S-Special 70 Re-Newed exhausts. There are only a limited amount of used exhaust available to be re-newed by ASM so get one while they last! Once they run out, they will not be re-produced.

The sequel to Honda’s Homecoming event two years ago was another great S2000 event. This might very well be the last of the “Mega-meets” for the S2000 as it saw retirement 2 years ago and has an increasingly less active fan base. It was definitely a good send-off event for the S2000 with hundreds of cars in attendance, tons of free swag, lots of great showcase cars, and even a return guest appearance by the chief designer of the S2000 and NSX, Mr. Shigeru Uehara. The weather had been cool and mild leading up to the event but as luck would have it, Homecoming II landed on the start of a huge heat wave that peaked the day after the event with temperatures of 110+ degrees. I want to give a special thanks to the event organizers, volunteers, and the showcase cars who supported us by running our logo on their cars. On with the pictures!
