Koenigsegg Granada update
Anyone remember the Koenigsegg Granada? Well Joel, the owner, contacted me after noticing his car was featured on Build Threads and filled me in on some details about the car. Apart from giving me a link to his proper build thread, Joel also schooled me on some Koenigsegg/Ford facts. Apparently, all engine parts on the [...]
VIP Previa
Back from Japan and back to reality, and what better way to kick things off than with a very Japanese styled build (even though it resides in America). I’ve had my eye on this Previa build since I first saw it on Stanceworks, and I can definitely say it’s come together in the end to [...]
Q:How do you spell quality? A:Broadfield
Jeff has submitted a few builds to the site lately, and while going back and forth over emails he pointed me in the direction of a blog run by his buddy, Toby. Jeff had only the highest opinion of the custom work that Toby churns out, and after clicking the link and having a snoop [...]
Koenigsegg Granada update
August 31st, 2010
Anyone remember the Koenigsegg Granada? Well Joel, the owner, contacted me after noticing his car was featured on Build Threads and filled me in on some details about the car. Apart from giving me a link to his proper build thread, Joel also schooled me on some Koenigsegg/Ford facts.
Apparently, all engine parts on the Koenigsegg are based on – and interchangeable with – the Ford 4.6 modular family, a fact that the boys over in Sweden aren’t too keen on telling people. A new block is cast in England for the Swedish supercars, allowing them call it an “in-house design”. Interesting!
The car has been developed further since it’s previous feature, so if you want to read the Granada build thread, click here.
VIP Previa
August 27th, 2010
Back from Japan and back to reality, and what better way to kick things off than with a very Japanese styled build (even though it resides in America). I’ve had my eye on this Previa build since I first saw it on Stanceworks, and I can definitely say it’s come together in the end to be a very special and unique car. It’s great to see people straying away from the norm and succeeding.

Q:How do you spell quality? A:Broadfield

Jeff has submitted a few builds to the site lately, and while going back and forth over emails he pointed me in the direction of a blog run by his buddy, Toby. Jeff had only the highest opinion of the custom work that Toby churns out, and after clicking the link and having a snoop around, I didn’t have to look hard to see why. Toby does the sort of work that we all wish we were capable of doing, if only we possessed greater volumes of two key ingredients: skill, and patience.
From imports to exotics, cars to boats, interior or engine bay, everything is done with the utmost quality and attention to detail. Click more to find the link.
Las Vegas S13 Drift build
August 19th, 2010
Lester emailed this one across to me not too long ago. A fresh 2010 build of an S13 240SX for drifting duties. A great build with quality documentation from front to back.

Opel Kadett C
August 12th, 2010
So I got a very excited email from James at Car Throttle telling me about an amazing build he’d just read up on. He was so excited in fact, that he forgot to include the link in his email!
This is the build he was telling me about. A ’78 Kadett with a turbo setup, E30 BMW IRS rear end, custom fibreglass front clip, and a whole bunch of DIY mods done at home on a student budget with a $100 welder. A true home-build, complete with a work related injury.
You’ll find the link at the bottom of the post…unless I forget, haha. Thanks again James.
Korrado
August 7th, 2010
VW’s have featured prominently on this site for one reason; there are just so many well modded ones constantly being churned out all over the world. But even so, a lot of them seem to follow the same (successful) formula. OEM/rare/3pc wheels, slick paint, severe drop whether it be bagged or static, clean interior, shaved bay, etc etc.
So when was the last time you saw a VW built with a particular aspect that was truly different, something that set it apart from the rest? Keith submitted his Corrado that fits the bill…
