SPRING TUNE-UP

T

HE SNOW IS GONE NOW, RIGHT? I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like winter came and went about three times before spring decided to show up and punch it square in the face. Now that spring is here though, it brings with it the excitement of car show season! And if you live in a place where car show season never really “ends,” just know we’re all insanely jealous.

Let this issue of PASMAG serve as an even further warm-up to the season. This is the latest issue of PASMAG’s Tuner Handbook, which contains some of the basics to help you and your car get tuned up for the season. Here’s what we’re serving up: First, we have a healthy dose of event coverage, which isn’t new to PAS, it’s our bread and butter, but this time we’re focusing on the award list. We’ve broken down each event by award category, and are focusing on images of the winners.

Have you been chasing some hardware in a certain field, but can’t quite get there?

Take a peek through here and see what your competition is running, or just to see what the 2018 event season is shaping up to be.

We’ve also dug up a hidden gem from our local community, Aidan Borges’ meticulously put-together Lexus IS300. A car that’s rarely sighted, and as a result has earned the car the nickname “Unicorn,” but when it does make an appearance, it becomes the center of attention. Make

12

sure you get in on the myth-busting of this mythical creature.

There’s also a helpful spread on setting up a drift car, separated into tips for newbies, and then expanded on if you’re looking to advance on that advice. While you’ve got racing on the mind, we’ve also gathered up all the track listings and, if racing dBs is more your style, sanctioned competition audio events for North America. If you’re looking for where to start pushing your car to the limits, look no further!

20 18 There’s much more than what I’ve just mentioned here, so get to flipping. Hopefully we’ll see something you’ve built at the shows or have it show up somewhere in our pages.

Happy car season, everybody!

TUNERBATTLEGROUNDS

JASON NEERING 1992 MAZDA RX-7

By Micky Slinger | Photography By Daniel Colmenares (

@danielalbertophotogrpahy)

n June of 1992, an FD RX-7 rolled out through the gates of Mazda’s assembly plant in Hiroshima, Japan. After enjoying a few years of JDM life, the car was snatched up and imported to the United States, quite illegally. If you’ll recall, the U.S. has a 25-year import law, so the RX-7 wouldn’t be up for legal import until 2017. Landing in Georgia initially, it was then sold to a body shop in Dallas, Texas, where it received Veilside’s infamous Fortune body kit, was painted black and green, and was featured on some early Hot Import Nights flyers. Over the years, the RX-7 would fade into obscurity while being sold off to different owners, eventually finding its way to Florida and in front of Jason Neering’s eyes. “I saw this car on the road and spent three years looking for it,” Neering recalls, citing his love for the Tokyo Drift RX-7 as the cause for hunting this car down. “That December, near Christmas, I got the gift I wanted.”

Neering finally found the Veilside RX-7, neglected and practically falling apart in a warehouse, and offered cash on the spot to take it home and restore it to its former glory. With only six months to go before the FD was legal in the U.S., Neering made sure all the paperwork was good to go, so no one could take all his hard work away. The goal was to take a car that was very planted in the early 2000s and bring the build up to modern day standards. With the Veilside kit being the most dated part, Neering brought it back up to spec by shaving all rivets and side markers off and coating it in a metallic candy apple red paint. Under the hood, the 13B rotary got the Greddy treatment with a full V-mount setup, and even ported, polished, and refurbished the twin Hitachi turbos. Between the Apexi Power FC and nitrous and methanol injection (the first Cryo2 methanol injected rotary ever), the RX-7’s twin-turbo 13B puts out 425 horsepower! “I wanted an updated version of the famous Veilside Fortune RX-7, and that is what I think I delivered with this 25-year-old car,” Neering says. We think he’s more than achieved his goal.

BRIAN CALBERO

2000 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE

By Adam Gordon | Photography By Taylor Vollrath (

hree years after a tragic accident claimed his widebody Evo IX during a flood, Brian Calbero decided to make the best of what happened, having kept the car knowing he could use its parts one day.

Inspired by our buddy Archie Concon’s Evo-converted Mirage at SEMA, Calbero knew what he had to do.

With a background in autobody, and some fabrication

experience under his belt, he knew he had his work cut out for him with this ambitious project. Once he had salvaged the drivetrain and a handful of other parts from what was left of his Evo IX, the real challenge began. Getting the Evo IX subframe to mate up to the Mirage took some custom mounts and elbow grease, but once that was done, he was able to swap out the rear trunk pan in order to get the all-wheel-drive setup fitted.

During the AWD conversion, the car was stripped down completely. Calbero removed the Mirage’s firewall, parts of the floor pan, and transmission tunnel. “I've managed to graft in the areas I've removed with Evo IX panels, so everything else can be a straight forward bolt-on,” he says. “From the dashboard to center console, gas, clutch, brake pedals and booster are all from the [Evo] IX.” “I really had no big plans except getting myself back into

BEHIND BTR Story by

Whether you know Blood Type Racing as a KDM tuning powerhouse or SEMA show car builder, chances are that you don’t know the humble beginnings of the firm.

PASMAG

BEFORE

Micky Slinger

advising customers on what kinds of modifications are needed to get their Genesis to meet their goals, Sam Lee, the owner of Blood Type Racing (BTR), was advising customers on where to go for their next trip as a travel agent. As you can guess, sending others on trips and never going yourself can be a little depressing, and that’s something that Lee’s wife noticed more and more as he came home each night. Knowing he had a thing for cars, Lee’s wife asked if there was something he could do in that field, and after some thought, Lee quit his job and created a new online retail website for KDM car parts called “Blood Type Racing” in 2011, which he ran out of his parents’ basement on a $300 budget.

Finding the right Korean contacts made all the difference for BTR when first starting out, especially in the ECU department, which has become their specialty. Fun fact: South Korea gets Hyundais and Kias first, almost a year before North America. Having this knowledge, Lee established partnerships, and eventually an office in Korea to start R&D on parts and tuning a year beforehand. Once the North American models were dropped, R&D was tweaked to match any differences, and BTR

was first out of the gates with the modifications you wanted for your KDM car.

Since then, BTR has moved out of its first physical location to a larger one and even opened their own garage, plus built five SEMA cars in the meantime.

Starting in 2014 with a Genesis Coupe that donned the very first kit designed by Kei Miura of Rocket Bunny/Pandem, BTR tackled a Veloster and Elantra, as well as platforms outside the KDM realm, like an Evo X and, most recently, a Focus ST.

We have a local legend in our corner of Southern Ontario about an elusive car that’s spotted only a few days a year during car season – a unicorn, if you will. A shining wheel lip is spotted, causing a double-take at the amazing fitment and high-class exterior, but on that second look, the car has already disappeared back to its hiding place to be meticulously detailed and reworked for a new season. On its last sighting, we made sure to track it down for a proper look behind the myth, the legend, Aidan Borges’ “Unicorn” Lexus IS300.

Borges’ Lexus is only really in attendance as a sure thing at Fitted and an occasional appearance at Importfest – two of Toronto’s biggest car shows – Borges himself can be seen milling around with show-goers, peering over the latest builds and updates, and catching up with friends – the same friends that he says gave his car its moniker.

“I get people always asking me when I’m bringing [the car] out, and they joke about how it hardly sees the road, but they all know why the car isn’t out,” laughs Borges. “The name ‘Unicorn’ originated as a joke, but just stuck.”

It’s not called “Unicorn” because it’s white or has a big horn tacked to the front either; it just comes out when the planets align just right. As a nurse, Borges can work some pretty crazy hours, so that definitely doesn’t help with scheduling the car to be at a show, but the biggest reason is as personal as it gets – it’s a build for him, not for others. This is a car that was built to his taste over years of con-

templating how all the parts in his head would fit together to create his vision. And Borges has done his homework in the parts department.

Becoming more and more interested in VIP, Borges decided he’d like to take his build in a “VIP style” direction – a sub-genre for platforms that aren’t the usual VIP fare. The Lexus emblems on the car were just right for VIP, but the smaller sporty proportions were way off from the luxury yachts that are synonymous with the Japanese luxury lifestyle. Borges took this into account and made decisions about parts very carefully to make his take on VIP style as legitimate as possible.

“The car has many of the rarest body options from Japan, while keeping clean lines, and is something that I can cherish for many years to come,” he explains.

“Some parts, like the fog lights and front lip, even though an option only available in Japan, are rare to come by over there as well.”

The front bumper is from an IS300 Sportcross (the wagon version) that’s paired with an Altezza Gita (Japanese wagon version) dealer optional front lip, and flows back into the Modellista side skirts and rear bumper – more luxurious options from Toyota dealers in Japan. The headlights and fog lights are both rarer dark chrome versions, with the headlights having been retrofitted with projectors from an Infiniti Q45 in a “Gatling gun” arrangement. Everyone knows there’s nothing classier than having stitched leather on the outside of your car, so Borges went for Luxury Abstract’s waterproof and UV-resistant Grassor leather door pillars, which lend themselves nicely to the Luxury Abstract wheels he’s had fine-tuned to meet up with the pulled and rolled fenders of the IS. “The suspension was all picked to adjust the alignment to allow for negative-eight degrees of camber, while pushing the wheel limit on stock body and static suspension,” says Borges. “I knew I could rely on Blain from Righteous Garage to ensure it came out perfect.”

front upper control arms, TCS rear upper control arms, and Megan Racing LCAs, toe arms, and traction arms, Blain had plenty of adjustability to manipulate in order to make sure the Unicorn came out looking as perfect as Borges expected. We’d like to think he succeeded, as the Luxury Abstract 18x9.5 and 18x10 Madors look impossibly clean and lend to the bodyline of the car, even when tilted at negative-eight degrees.

The interior has seating madeover with two-tone Ultraleather and carries the VIP staples you’ve come to expect. Junction Produce Kitsuna and Tsuna knots hang from the rear-view mirror, and privacy curtains adorn the B-pillar, tucked just inside the window trim.

and custom Dolce & Gabbana pillows make the rear seats the next best place to be after the driver’s chair. Even the trunk has been made homelier, with the addition of a mahogany wood grain floor and a vintage piece of luggage from the ‘70s, which has been repurposed into an enclosure for the single 10-inch Pioneer subwoofer.

Some may ask what the point was in putting all this effort into a VIP style build that doesn’t come out often. If he was going to go to these lengths, why not invest in a traditional VIP build? To Borges, his IS300 means much more than a label, and is something that will never leave his side.

“The car became sentimental to me prior to starting the build,” explains Borges. “When I purchased the car, my father was becoming ill. Him and I went to

see the car, and purchasing it was the last thing my father and I did together before he passed away. With that, I did not and do not want to sell the car, ever.”

As well as carrying important memories, this car also taught Borges an important lesson about building cars: it’s always going to take time. It takes time to afford the right parts, for those parts to come, for those parts to be installed, and for the car to be ready each season. Eventually, over time, the car will get to where you want it to be. And with even more JDM goodies to be added and adjustments to be made, the Unicorn, just like any other build, isn’t done, it’s just done for now. It’s just about ready for its next spotting.

Adam Gordon

ENGINE

Starting out:

X

X

x

x

2018

Keep it stock! Beginner drifters should learn how to use speed and momentum to drift with low horsepower, not some highpower setup that you’re afraid to push. Stock engine setups tend to be more forgiving with abuse, which will give you maximum seat time on track day.

Later:

Once your skill level has progressed to the limitations of your setup, then consider adding power with bolt-ons, or go all out with an 800-horsepower 2JZ. Whichever works for you.

DRIVETRAIN

Starting out:

It’s okay to learn on a stock differential. Limited-slip differentials will help you get used to the feeling of breaking the rear tires loose, especially if you throw in some clutch-kicking.

Later:

Speaking of clutch-kicking, if you start making that a habit, it might be a good idea to upgrade your clutch to something a little heavier duty. Stage 2 or stage 3 clutches from most aftermarket brands will be capable of handling any increased power. Consider spool differentials (1.5-way, 2-way) and upgraded axles if you start adding serious power to your setup.

INTERIOR

Starting out:

A good supportive racing seat is all you need to get started. Feel free to remove things like the spare tire and jack in order to shave some weight, as well as remove any loose objects that could become projectiles.

Later:

If you start taking things seriously with big power and higher speeds, it’s time for a drift-spec roll cage, racing harnesses, and a stripped interior. Competition cars include things like fuel cells and rear-mounted radiators to keep some weight over the rear.

SUSPENSION

Starting out:

You’ll want some coilovers to get the car lower for handling the abuse of throwing it around. Adjustable lower control arms and toe arms will help you correct alignment specs after lowering. Aim for as close to 0-degrees of rear camber as possible. Consider high-angle inner tie rods to get a few more degrees of steering over stock, without having to commit to a full angle kit.

Later:

If you start drifting competitively, it’s time to look at fine tuning adjustable coilovers for each track layout.

You want to allow max weight transfer to the rear of the chassis for traction purposes. Fully adjustable angle kits, like Wisefab kits, will give you more angle.

WHEELS TIRES BRAKES

Starting out:

Your stock brakes and e-brake will be fine for now, but consider upgraded street pads that can handle the heat. Keep the wheels the same width as stock when learning, but a grippy set of front tires will help prevent understeer and let you get confident.

Later:

When things get serious, every bit of weight counts. Lightweight brake kits keep unsprung weight down, and a rear dual caliper setup allows a consistent and quick application of e-brakeinduced lock up. Grippy tires are still as important as ever, but are often wrapped around staggered wheel setups, with 1-inch smaller wheels up front for quick steering response during transitions. As power increases, so too does the size of the tires, especially in the rear.
