I think I’ve always been on the hunt to find new experiences to keep myself interested and motivated in my craft. A few years ago, I went to a grassroots drift event known as “Final Bout 2”, not really knowing anyone, unfamiliar with much of the drifting community, with just a fascination to see cool shit. It was their second event and I discovered it one night while I was in one of my YouTube black hole moments. There was something special about it that I knew I had to see for myself. I can’t say I’ve ever been involved in anything related to drifting or even shooting motorsports at all, but I managed to sneak into the media-side of the event because my friend @phaze2yogi was working for Falken Tire at the time and they were sponsors for the event. Nobody knew who I was or what I did and it was honestly refreshing to be an unknown. I had an incredible time and shot so much content that weekend—I guess you can say it was one of my favorite events ever. I didn’t get a chance to go back in the following years due to scheduling conflicts but always planned to return to see how much it had grown. Recently, some of the guys from @finalbout invited me back and I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. I have so much to do here at home but it’s a real honor to be asked back to cover it. If you’re out there, I guess I’ll see you there. I even convinced Yasu to come with me since he was here in the States already. Can’t wait to see what this weekend has to offer but I’m sure it’ll be yet another memorable experience...

Technically this hit YouTube yesterday afternoon but just in case you happen to miss it, I stopped by @greddyperformance recently to chat with @greddykenji and his spectacular turbocharged @hotwheelsofficial “Super Treasure Hunt” Civic build. We break down the build and learned some history on it, as well as all of its intricate details on a new Vlog episode which you can watch now on Stickydiljoe.com or our YouTube channel (/stickydiljoedotcom). Check it out!!...

The final installment of the 2019 Wekfest Japan photo coverage is available for viewing now on Stickydiljoe.com, featuring a little bit of everything from the show, the roll-out shots, and much more. Head to the site after swiping these photos to see much much more...

Is this the best ZN6/86/FRS/BRZ engine bay ever? Brand new FA20 with individual throttle bodies, TODA Racing guts, a sprinkle of USDM parts, subtle but precise execution, assembled by @kazuimaibuild, one of the best builders in Japan...

Chicago is nice this year except the bi-hourly fuckery of rain. Makes for great photos though...

I didn’t get a chance to go to the Eibach Honda Meet this year and one of the builds I was really trying to see was @greddykenji’s turbocharged EF hatchback. Fortunately, he was kind enough to let me stop by GReddy yesterday to check it out and to pick his brain about all the little details. Such a cool build filled with a lot of nostalgia and a touch of modern tech. I love seeing the older guys still finding time to work on their own passion projects while continuing to flourish in the industry...
