Danny Campa's Vertex s14

recently finished this 14 for our friend and highly regarded tattoo artist here in Phoenix.
the car was a 14 Zenki with a swapped s14sr, after scoring a good deal on a nicely prepped and painted genuine Vertex full kit, vertex lights, and Kouki front (via Ssupicious Garage) Danny asked us to get the rest of the shell to the same level and color.

the roof needed some serious love as did the driver door, this car has had its share of fender benders you could say.


the Audi Daytona Grey Pearl was mixed and expertly color matched by our local paintstore, the kit had been outside another bodyshop for over a year so had slight fading, meaning we needed the basecoat tweaked a bit from factory spec. heres the de-winged and shaved (thanks FUTURE FAB) trunk and sideskirt as a comparo to see if the match was good. it is.


artsy:


all jambs and everything was sprayed, once he chooses to have the car down long enough we will hit the engine bay and it will be a complete color change

Vegas drift stuffs

we went out to las vegas speedway last weekend to check out Round 2 of the VegasDrift pro-am series. Our good friend and shop regular Danny Le got his SR 240 out there courtesy of Jade @ jadecantdrift.com and i stood around near it acting like i was doing stuff

Danny was getting the hang of the kinda weird course but lack of tires had him cutting practice short in an attempt to have enough for the nights upcoming comp if needed

danny did his best in Quals but due to coming out of gear in his last run failed to make top 16 :( but im confident next time he will be a driver to watch! we love you Danny!

one of our other Elevens' sponsored driver, George "the Lumberjack" Marstanovic brought the Teal v8 FC out from Flagstaff to make a run at a Formula D license this year. as always he was ripping all sick.

the two AZ V8's playing around. George with KSport's car and driver Corey Hosford

i have decided G unit like to hit stuff with the car a little bit, likes to keep us busy as he worries we may get bored. nice guy

nothing we cant fix though

other things of note:
this 1j powered 13 coupe is sick, it looks like its on fire often

George was involved in the closest tandems i have ever seen, like really wow. crazy. he ended up not taking the win but still is sitting pretty with a 4th place finish.

this FD is extra yummy

AZ driver Mike Burns took the big W this round. very well deserved i must add as he drove soooo good. also won the insane entry award due to baddassery.

in all i highly reccommend the trip to this series as its alot of fun, good driving and cool people. see ya'll july 20th for round 3
