Words: Jason De Photography: Variety of Photographers. Some say a car is an extension of your body, a reflection on your personality. You share so many good and bad moments together. For me owning my KE70 was more than just a means of transport. It was freedom. The freedom to drive around aimlessly, see friends and of course commute to work. First purchasing this car stock standard as the 3rd owner was great! It had 4 new tyres, body was fairly decent and the best bit, it only cost me $750 clams with 6 months rego! SCORE! After owning it for less than a week BA rear king springs were inserted into the rear and fronts were cut. Such a nasty ride once the shocks gave out. The idea was to source 86 parts but hey life goes on. Soon enough the diff pulled out, cleaned with a toothbrush and welded. It never did let go and it has been welded for over 2 years! A couple of weeks later i had a stack. To hard, too soon. This is probably the reason for most of my defects. Rolling around without a front bar can attract the wrong attention real fast! As the life of the Corolla continued it got painted a couple of times, Different wheels, different colours. Basically things you could afford to do on a part time wage. Interior bits and pieces magically grew stickers all over them, door trims got painted. I was bored and creative. I can’t say that this car got good attention but it was fun and i really enjoyed every moment of it. Here are some photographs during my ownership of the Corolla (no particular order). So enjoy them! PS: Sorry to the grammar natzi’s! Day 1. When i picked her up! Paulie from Justice Crew came to check out the new wheels! TAFE assignment (Graphic Design) which we had to create a colour wheel. I took it literally! 25mm spacers because Fitment Freak! Handed this in! This seat cost more in defects than it did to purchase. LOL. Bout that life. Glow in the dark paint. Boot Full o Paint! 4KC pedal pusher. Aleks at the wash. Always rolling the three around. Best Days! Photoshoot life! Yes i drove around with these on. Yes i got away from the police at times but YES they did catch me, on my birthday Window Tints thanks to my man at Custom Kid Industries! M A G I C ! Fitment Freak Brothers! R U N. Dripping. About that 70 Life.

Photos: Jason De, Jake De | Words: Jason De Australia Day, perfect time of the year to put shrimp on the barbie, get your wife beater and some flip flops on and crack open a VB. Fortunately for myself and the rest of the All Stars family we had a show to put on! As the line began to pile up myself and Claudio began signing cars in! With this in progress the call was made to find out of the All Stars widebody HSV was ready for pickup! Surly enough it was! Whilst we set off to pick up a car that would most definitely snap necks my brother and Alain took hold of check ins! Iphone captures at their greatest! This ute was screaming out STRAYA and also pulling in a large crowd! Now for the action…. Show and shine…. Good day was good!

Clarion VX401A Double Din Headunit, Fusion Amp & Fusion 10″ Sub in the boot Thanks to (mentions): Big thanks to Tarik and the boys at Built To Order with all the help with the wheels and convincing me to take it to the next level, Moey, Tubs, Bark, Ben, Jimmy & the boys at Queen Street Customs with all the body work done to date, Anthony & the boys at Dahtone Racing for all the mechanical side of things, Brian at Top Class Tyres, Adrian from All Stuck Up Graphics for the sticker work, Tony (HU57LR), Tim (BE53RK) and all my other friends that have helped along the way Estimated Build Price: So far, around 15k with more to come!! Future Plans: Tidy up the body of the car, i have spoken to a couple of the boys at Meguairs about the body work of the car and where we can go, dont want to give too much away about it yet, but its going to be something truly unique, also looking at switching it over to E85 which means bigger injectors, bigger pump and more boost. Should easily make 200kws+ at the wheels, don’t want to go too extreme on the motor as that i want to keep it as stock as possible for a reliable street car!

Trippin Out

Photos: Aleks B | Words: Nathan Kumar Stephen Wassef from Acquired Taste owns this tastefully modified Lancer EVO 8, the ‘less is more’ approach has done him and his ride a lot of justice as this may be one of the cleanest looking EVO 8’s rolling around the streets of Sydney. The famous 4g63 power plant that lays between the strut towers benefits from an upgraded fuel pump to 255lph Walbro item whilst 1000cc injectors keep its thirst quenched with blasts of E85 when required and a Trust exhaust emits the throaty note that all EVO owners and admirers know all to well. All for a healthy and respectable 240kW at the wheels. Stephen has also upgraded the main parts of the drivetrain known to fail when power levels are increased. The clutch is now an Exedy sports organic clutch and the all too common transfer case failures have been sorted out by upgrading to an evo nine item. Now moving onto one of the most stand out features of this car, the wheels. They are XXR 521’s running 18×10 all round with the front rubbing a very aggressive 0 offset and the rear +17. To achieve the awesome fitment this car shows off. They have been painted in a unique lock of candy teal with a dash of lilac and blue pearl. Wrapped up tightly in Achillies 225/40/18 tyres to keep contact with the black top. Interior wise has been kept very basic with the main stand out being the nicely installed roll cage that really contrasts the whole car and is something that needs to be seen to be appreciated. Future mods are camber arms and 25mm spacers in the rear. As far as power, Stephen will be aiming for 300kW ATW. This car is the perfect example of how not all the mods make a car but rather the right mods. “I would like to thank the Acquired Taste crew for the sleepless nights, Prestige Tyre Service, Heasmans, Basser at 2sus and everyone else who’s helped me get my car to where it is today.” – Stephen Engine: -Walbro 550hp in-tank fuel pump -1000cc Delphi injectors -Eboost street -HKS ssqv blow off valve -Trust dump pipe -Trust front pipe -Tomioka 100cell high flow cat -3inch stainless steel cat-back -Simota panel filter enclosed in carbon box -Tuned on e85 making 240kW ATW Drivetrain: -Exedy sports organic HD clutch -EvoIX transfer case Suspension: -BC racing gold series coilovers -Aftermarket adjustable tie rod ends Wheels & tyres: -XXR 521 18×10 +0 front 18×10 +17 rear with 225/40 Achilles tyres -Wheels painted custom candy teal with lilac and blue pearl Exterior: -Carbon fibre do-luck front lip -Blacked out headlights -Blacked out front and rear Mitsubishi badges -Mitsubishi oem side visors -Rexpeed carbon side skirts and rear pods -White vortex generator -Evo IX rear bar -Evo 7 tail lights -15% tints Interior: -Pioneer fold out head unit -4x shadow gauges in dash pod -Titanium gear knob -1kg fire extinguisher -Carbon steering wheel cover -Roll Cage Engine Bay: -Carbon cam cover -Carbon coil pack cover -Carbon intake cover

Photos: Jason De | Words: Jason De Waking up to a blood bath of water births was not the first thing i expected to see on a Sunday morning but whatever, its natural right? I suppose that was on a need to know basis! Well to say the least the day had began eventful. ^ WTF DID I JUST READ. Followed by this i sat behind the screen for most of the day editing and putting things together. Sick of sitting down what do i do? Post a fb status asking if anyone wants a shoot. Immediately the response came in and i was getting ready to turn snap happy. The complete Acquired Taste crew was first to hit me up followed by a few friends who also decided to come down. It was great to be able to shoot the whole crew before they expand and start to become uncontrollable! Enough talk. Photo time. Fame was like a drug. But what was even more like a drug were the drugs. fin.
