長い間思い描いてきたコラボシートが、ついに形になりました。
「ただロゴを付ければ良い」という簡単な話ではなく、クラシックという名を冠するにふさわしい、当時の空気感やコンセプトを継承しつつ、現代だからこそ実現できた安全性と高度な技術が詰まった、特別なシートです。
いつも仲良くしてくれているBRIDEさん、ロットさんと、本職でもこうしてご一緒できたことが本当に嬉しいです。EGを組み直していたタイミングで偶然ブースカーの依頼をいただいたお声がけから始まり、今こうして一つの形になったこと、すごく感慨深いです。
やっぱり「横の繋がり」は何よりも強くて、それが絆となり、こうして“楽しくてカッコいいモノ”が生まれたことを心から嬉しく思っています。
本当にありがとうございます！

After a long time talking, imagining, and planning, this collaborative seat has finally become a reality.
This wasn’t just a matter of “slapping on a logo.” To truly deserve the name “Classic,” it needed to carry the atmosphere and concept of the golden era, while also incorporating the safety and advanced technology that only today’s engineering can offer for these nostalgic vehicles.
I’m truly grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate with A’PEXi and BRIDE, two brands I deeply respect, along with my friends at LOT USA. This journey began right in the middle of rebuilding my EG, when I unexpectedly received a request to showcase it at JCCS. That moment set everything in motion, eventually bringing this project to life. It’s an experience that moves me deeply.
In the end, it’s those horizontal connections, friendships and networks that form the strongest bonds. And from those relationships something driven by passion, fun, and “cool” can be born. That’s what makes me happiest of all.
Last photo is when the EG Project debuted at JCCS.
Can’t believe it’s already week since the MAAYA ORIDO: APEX Cup presented A’PEXi x AlphaRex.
After the session rollers with A’PEXi GR86 project piloted by @maaya_orido_559 and @studytuned / @battlecraftparts x @exceed_jpn Civic EK.
Thank you @stickydiljoe for letting me in your Volvo for the roller opportunity!
It was a fun day working on my EG in a quiet garage. Few more things coming for garnish/proper setup.
Just the usual guys (@bsidefabrication , @rivalautoworks and @unrivaledtuning ) working on their clients/projects.

The community made everything worth doing this for.
The experience, the smiles, the atmosphere, and those genuine real-time moments, that’s what it’s truly about.
It’s never been about popularity, money, flexing, superiority, or who has the “best” car (I mean there should be something to profit… either it’s brand awareness, giving back to the community, or presences). The people who came out to Doghouse Garage and the Track Day reminded me what this “culture” is really built on: passionate individuals pursuing what they love.
A very special thank you to all the horizontal relationships that helped make this possible, my industry mentors who guided me to where I am today, friends, partners, and the network that genuinely committed their time, energy, and support to make these events even greater.
And of course, a huge shoutout to the team for all the hard work behind the scenes. There’s always room to improve, but honestly… topping moments like these will be an uphill battle.
But not an impossible one.
If I didn’t get to tag you, Instagram doesn’t let me tag beyond its limits… but you know who you are 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

That moment. That time. That emotion. That scent. That sound.
There’s always something special, even in the everyday moments we often overlook.
Sometimes, seeing through a lens and a digital sensor can feel like it distances us from it.
But once those moments become part of you,
the camera has the power to capture them, and make them yours to cherish and share.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a laid back Sunday.
Now that the two big events I’ve been planning for a while are finally done, a proper break would be nice… but for now, I’ll take a calm, relaxing Sunday.
Sometimes, that’s all you need.
The @racebredcomponents Front Splitter Kit paired with the @exceed_jpn Front Lip Spoiler is back on the GR86!
Last-minute request and @racebredcomponents came through, huge appreciation for the support and quick turnaround. Always glad to be a returning customer 🤝!
This combo brings the perfect balance of function and form, adding real front-end downforce while keeping the look clean and aggressive. Exactly what I visioned it needs when pushing track setups.
Still got to look good, going fast right?
I got this a while ago and just realized… I never opened it…
So here it is, the BattleCraft Parts Oil Filler Cap.
A collaboration between @battlecraftparts × @lonelydrivercompany , blending clean machining with subtle design.
’90s Civics have a charm that modern Civics just can’t replicate.
Especially when the entire build stays true to ’90s–2000s-era styling, where balance, simplicity, and character defined the scene.
The A’PEXi World Sport 3 (WS3) is a modern-engineered exhaust system with period-correct styling, featuring the signature large canister design and classic WS tip, all constructed from full SUS304 stainless steel for long-term durability.
These cars are now nearly 30 years old, and restoration / resto-mod culture plays a big role in keeping them alive. Upgrading while improving reliability and longevity is part of doing it right.
EG and EK Civic WS3 Catback Exhaust Systems are in stock and ready to ship:
The TEAM B-A-R RSC300.
This is no ordinary SC300 or Soarer… obviously… lol
Built by Bando Kunihiko, the RSC300 is a purpose built time attack machine, engineered with one goal in mind… speed. The moment you see the full dry carbon fiber body and aero, it’s clear this car speaks the language of lap time.
The use of dry carbon panels dramatically reduces weight while increasing rigidity, allowing the chassis and aero to work efficiently at extreme speeds. This machine is reported to produce around 1200 horsepower.
Displayed at Yokohama Tire booth at Tokyo Auto Salon.
