Junkyard Parts: Introducing Andrew Holloway
Last week we told you about a new concept we’re about to introduce. To make a long story short, we’re going to show galleries of junkyards all over America, and unlike on other sites – the guy who took those pictures is willing to go back, snag parts, and ship them to you. Anything you might need, you simply email Andrew and he’ll make it happen – no matter where you live! Today, we’d like to introduce you to our Junkyard Hunter: Andrew Holloway.
Justin Removed the Rice & Doubled the Horsepower
For me Justin’s Civic is one of the nicest in the Netherlands and he really deserved this interview. He’s installed a lot of rare parts and doubled the horsepower by swapping the original 1.5L engine for a Japanese TYPE-R engine. This is an interview with a really passionate owner of a beautiful ’93 Civic.
The Cute Little Honda
The 1979 Honda Civic; first generation of the quintessential Honda classic. Quite a few were killed by the rust devil. This generation Civic was notorious for rusting in less than three years from purchase where salt was used in the winter; even complete cars were bought back by Honda because of this, but here’s one example that survived. It went from original to old-school and back within a few years, but it remains a cute little car.
Dick’s Honda Civic and Beat
I think you can call Dick and his wife Jinske real Honda lovers. A collection with four (really beautiful) Hondas proves it. I thought two of them, a Honda Civic Motul replica and a very rare Honda Beat, are really interesting. So I found Dick and this is the result. A nice interview about two really beautiful Hondas!
Lars’ Nissan Silvia S15
A few months ago, I was chilling on my balcony (road-view) with my girlfriend. Suddenly I heard a ridiculous sound and I saw a white F16 flying over the main road. After I few seconds I remembered that white F16s don’t exist. That was my first introduction to Lars’ Nissan Silvia S15.
GU+ at the Prescott Rally
This weekend, we’re in Prescott, Arizona, USA, attending the Prescott Rally, part of the USRC championship. We’re posting pictures to our Gearheads-United Tumblr (GU+) outpost until the battery on the Blackberry dies (which it did about an hour ago).
Why Stick with the D16 Honda? 600whp & and a Challenge
Todd Williammee of Frederick, Colorado, is an auto tech, tuner, and engine builder. We caught up with him on CarDomain and talked a little bit about why he stuck with the D16, $4 parts causing $2800 in damage, and how the number 13 can be both unlucky and lucky at the same time.
The 54th Frankfurt International Autoshow
This week was the 64th Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung, or Frankfurt International Autoshow. The autoblogosphere is rank with autowriters showing you all the same pictures and paraphrasing the same press releases. If you’re lucky, your favorite automotive media outlet had boots on the ground there this week, taking original pictures and telling you why the stories matter, how they will impact you, and what makes their coverage newsworthy.
Free Candy!
There’s a good gearhead story around every corner. Recently, while ordering up some parts for a friend of ours down under, I got to talking to Jeremy Boysen at JBautosports about Free Candy Racing, the LeMCar team he started with his friends in Iowa.
