TOP-5 | Ashton's Civic

This weeks TOP-5 is spotlighting Ashton's FA5. Ashton is well known for his immaculate FA5 and is a regular at the SHG meets. This car has taken many forms over the years, of which included many real deal Mugen parts. Originally setup as a USDM spec Mugen clone, it is now converted fully to JDM spec, with Mugen still playing a heavy roll in the overall appearance of the car. Ashton has done a superb job making sure all aspects of the car stay as clean and functional as possible and it clearly shows. I can't wait to see whats in store for this upcoming season. Anyhow, here is my Top-5 pick from a recent collection of pictures I took of this inspiring build.

TOP-5 | Chris' NSX

In an attempt to bring warmth to these cold winter months I have compiled these 5 shots of Chris' Lime Green NSX. With any luck the captured beauty is inspirational enough to get those gears turning, making next years car dreams into reality for many as it has me chomping at the bit to get my project ready for spring time. Chris' NSX is down right gorgeous. Immaculately clean, aggressively fitted and used daily (no hard parking here!) It is always a spectacle when an NSX makes an appearance at one of our car gatherings, and they hold a special place in my heart as well. No sooner was he parked that I found myself snapping away and smiling like a school girl. Enough about that, here are my current TOP-5 for this car. Enjoy!

Preparation For The Work Week | A Casual Sunday With SHG

In typical fashion after a long and hopefully productive work week, we like to get together at one of the many SHG-Compounds and unwind. Discussions usually include the weeks developments in automotive culture, sarcasm, trash-talking, memes, and youtube. Sometimes even trash-talking sarcastic automotive culture memes on youtube. Smartphones at the ready with screenshots and quick links to the latest social media from around the globe, "watched" items on auction sites, new purchases, and updates from our favorite builds. Sources ranging from the US to Japan, UK to Australia and everywhere in between. We live and breathe the automotive lifestyle and nothing is better than sharing it all in one place on a regular basis with good friends, good beer, and good jokes.

 

K-Made X SHG | SHG_Kanani's Mugen Si

The 2008 Mugen Si as you probably know, is a rare breed. With only a 1000 units ever made, only a select few can say they have one of Honda's top performance offerings from recent years. SHG_Kanani from Hawaii is one of those as she gets to enjoy hers everyday around the beautiful Island of Kauai.

The guys from K-Made, which is a small group of tightly bonded friends like SHG, were looking to shoot a video feature and they knew just the right candidate. With Andrew Obiano behind the lens, he was able to capture some breathtaking footage. Austin Tacsiat got in on the action too so be sure to check back for his photo set soon!

1080p highly recommended!
