Driver Project: Corey Hosford Behind the KSport 350Z Videogrpahy by RolyDee Drivers, they are more than the pilot of a four wheeled rocket-ship. One of our favorite drivers is Corey Hosford of KSport. Corey standing a shadowing 6’3” tall is “The Boss” as his teammates like to call him. He entered the world of pro-amateur drifting for the first time earlier last year and shocked the drift community as he quickly made his way to the podium. He earned three podium finishes out of only 5 events. Residing in Gilbert, AZ he is quite the local hero and friend to many. When he’s not sliding the KSport 350Z in the Formula D Professional...

Guillermo however never lost the urge to build, after finishing a Subaru build with his father, he took to a new E30. In the eyes of the...

Godzilla’s Dark Side Strasse Forged GT-R Photography by Raymond Niece Words by Leo Diaz Godzilla, in direct translation means “Giant Monster”. To most, the word conjures up images of the world wide pop culture creature first seen emerging on Japan’s coast in Tomoyuki Tanaka’s 1954’s film self-titled Godzilla. To other is can only mean one thing; the giant monster of the automotive scene, the Nissan Skyline GT-R. This dark horse you see here is a meaner version of the arch nemesis of Mothra. It is a twisted version of Nissan’s flagship performance vehicle. While Nissan exported the Japan-only built car mainly to Hong...
