WORKing It Out NYPD Roadside Service Photography by Edward Perez As a photographer I am always looking to find the next feature. This one came courtesy of New York’s finest. I had recently moved to NY when I spotted Leo Garcia’s Accord pulled over by NYPD. I pulled along the side of the road and creeped up on the passenger window. While the officer wrote up his ticket, he and I exchanged a few words and business cards. After some time of communicating he mentioned the car was ready to shoot and we coordinated. So I want to thank the boys in blue for finding this feature for me…...

If I told you I knew of a car that had a license plate reading “TOO SICK”, your first question would almost always be “Well…is it?”  Well, yes, it absolutely is, and then some.  Peter Dimitrov’s IS250 is a clean and proper demonstration of what can be done with this chassis with some well thought out planning, and hard earned cash.  Thats not all though, he moves quick, he’s only owned this car for 6 months and has done work.

A graduate of the University of Miami’s engineering program (all about the U!), he has accepted a job as a Design Engineer for Honda Motor Co. in Ohio. Because of this move he has to say goodbye to his beloved purple people eater to get his career started. I will say though, that he did give me a sneak-peek at his next build and believe you me, it will...

Words By: Leo Diaz Photos By: Raphael Velez The DC chassis is by far my favorite Integra body of all time. And the 4 door DB has always had a corner of my heart. When I heard that the guys at VelocityShop had to JDM front’ed 4 door DBs, my interest was instantly attained. It turns out that both of these cars go well beyond all the mother land facelifts and laundry list of brand names. Both of these cars boast serious under hood goodness. Both of the two most popular routes for tuning, either boost or K swap, are displayed in these shop cars. Sporting a K swap, fully polished Work wheels and a tuner’s wish list of parts, Avi...
