 |  | | Power-2-Weight: INTEC RACING 1995 NISSAN 240SX | | Groundbreaking S14 hopes to bring "Drifting on Dubs" to the US | | In April 2007, Mitsuru Haraguchi shocked the North American drifting world by winning the Long Beach round of Formula DRIFT in the Intec Racing Nissan S13.5 240SX. Although the win was a monumental Cinderella story about a team that was practically unknown prior to the win, Intec Racing owner Lawrence Ojas felt that he needed to build a new machine for his driver. | | Full Article | | By: Jacob Leveton, Photography by Jacob Leveton and Paddy McGrath - 10/2/2009 |

| P2W-P2W: 1988 HONDA CR-X
A few weeks back, we featured a killer West Coast Honda CR-X that was equal parts JDM show and go. This week, Suja 1 Motoring’s Jason Su checks in for the Midwest with his homage to the Japanese market EF8 CR-X SiR – an interesting example of similar inspirations producing completely different interpretations.

| P2W-P2W: 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII
It is very rare that our job puts us face to face with harsh tragedy, but sometimes the business of informing and enlightening - of selling the tuner dream, in our case - can unexpectedly intersect with the shocking cruelty of life.

Sometimes being first sucks. Granted, finishing ahead of everyone in a race is generally a good thing, as is beating everyone to the end of a mundane task (like taking a gnarly test, or eating vegetables). Then there are those situations in life where being first is just an invitation for headache and frustration - like owning a car that is so new, the aftermarket has yet to cater to it fully.

| P2W-Power-2-Weight: 1990 Honda CR-X HF
It is perhaps deliberate irony that Chase McMaster, head honcho at Honda engine swap accessories company Chase Bays, took a US-market 1990 Honda CR-X HF and transformed it into a JDM EF8 SiR-aping beast. While both may be Rexs, each was meant for distinctly different kinds of car consumers when they were first produced.

| P2W-P2W: 2009 NISSAN GT-R
Nissan's current GT-R had some legendary shoes to fill. The original variants of the Japanese-only Skyline GT-R dominated motorsports in the same profound manner that Michael Jordan dominated basketball.

| P2W-P2W: 2003 NISSAN 350Z
Mike De La Cruz's Z is so hot, it's rightfully earned numerous car show accolades and landed guest spots over the years on a few of the "Mischief" videos and an episode of G4 TV's "Street Fury." But those aren't the reasons why we tapped the Nissan sports car to run in our Power-2-Weight section.

| P2W-P2W: ATOM BOMB
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
So began a special series of blockbuster movies that has an enormous grip (a Force grip, maybe?) on a mostly male subset of society, the Star Wars epic. The good-versus-evil space drama has made a noticeable impact on a few successive generations, and you can see it in modern car enthusiasts today. If there's any thread that holds sport compact fans together besides cars, it has to be a love for Star Wars.

| P2W-P2W: F20-POWERED TOYOTA AE86 COROLLA
Eric O'Sullivan's hachi-roku is an admitted beater. We're not going to lie - the photo gallery would betray us if we did. But it is a Toyota beater with an illustrious past, a hooptie Corolla that carried a champion to his crown, an AE86 wreck with the heart of a lion - a lion that, incidentally, bears a Honda badge.

| P2W-P2W: 2002 TOYOTA CELICA GT-S
For as long as he can remember, Greg Tariff has always had a love for cars, especially the classics. As a child, he remembers going with his dad to various local classic car cruise nights and learned to appreciate the time and craftsmanship owners put into their restorations. As he grew older, he noticed more and more tuner cars showing up at local cruise nights, and soon found himself converted to the sport compact way of auto worship.
