This Honda Civic FD1 is powered by 1.8L R18 I-Vtec engine which is built for emission, fuel economy and performance in mind. This is the base model Mr.Ichishima used to make the FD2R before the FD2R was even built.
The exterior of this Civic is nicely done with mugen bodykit and spoiler and also a customized front kit. It is also rolling on 19" wheels which is painted to match the car body colour. To help the breathing of the engine a custom pod intake and free flow exhaust was installed which helps to increase some HP.
This car is also a good base car, it has a lot of potential n support form company such as Spoon, J's Racing, Hasport and they made 400hp monsters by slapping in turbo and a good engine and some company such as Spoon n J's Racing made screaming NA conversion using K20A and K24A with individual throttle bodies.

This Honda Jazz also known as the Honda Fit in japan is powered by a 1.5L L-15A engine. This car is equipped with full mugen kit all around. In case some of you are wondering, the "R" stands for the owners name.
A 2" 5zigen replica exhaust and custom 1.8" piping from the manifold is installed to increase the exhaust flow and release some power from the engine. To balance the power of the going in and going out of the engine a custom intake is installed to give the car the extra power and good noise. OWS Twin iridium spark plugs are also installed for better combustion. As you can see a functional air funnel directs cold air into the intake.
B+G suspension is used to lower the the car and improve the cars handling in the corners which is the cars strength as the Jazz/Fit chasis turned out to be a good platform which is why J's Racing, Spoon etc chose to build a race car out of the fit and also swapped the engine to K20 and K24 engines which significantly imporver the car's power to weight ratio. The wheels are also upgraded to 17" 205/40/17 wheels.
For entertainment the car maintained its stock head unit but other than that, the speakers are upgraded to Lightning Bolt components which is powered by Lightning Bolt 300.4 amplifiers and 2x 12" Kenwood 12" Sub woofers in ported enclosures are powered by Lightning audio 300.2 amplifiers which equates to good sound quality.

VW has done a good job in making a great crossover, when it first came out it was the mini touareg. However this car has a more sportier look and its smaller than the touareg. This car packs a lt of luxuries as expected from VW.
Speaking of comfortable ride this thing also handles well with the help of the ESP but for some who doesn't like to have ESP and want full control over their driving style theres and ESP Off switch just in front of the automatic shift lever.
The interior of the car is very comfortable, and one of the special features that i like about the interior is the moonroof which lightens up the interior of the car. Some may think the the moonroof will reduce the stiffness of the chasis and also will not be be good for safety but think again VW takes safety seriously and Tiguan is Top Safety Pick of 2009
Few nights ago had a great ride on a Blue GC8 WRX Ver. 4, at first i wasn't impressed on the performance. But after he increased the boost form 0.8 to 1.1 bar everything about the car seems to change. However the owner states that it can go up to 1.4bar i wonder how that feels like. The car transformed and became a beast. Im not good with Subarus' so from the looks the only mods i spotted was intake and front mount intercooler. Was i surprised to see the list of mods the Rex has gone through.The subaru is aslo equipped with Tein Super Street Coilover which was comfortable for me, but at some uneven roads you can feel the harshness but it wast so hard to make the car loose traction on the uneven surface. When the car corners it really grips, the Tein Super Street really compliments the 4WD system and like its name stated its really meant for the street.
The exterior of the car is neatly done and looks very aggressive because of the Zero Sport Bodykit as if the Zero Sport wasn't aggressive enough the owner customized the front bumper. The bodykit is designed to give better downforce so that the car will still have traction on high speed. The wheelas are Rays Engineering United Arrow which measure 18 x 7.5 wrapped in Nankang NS-Sport tyres 235/35/18
