Buschur Racing’s 1G DSM

admin101August 10, 2018

The idea of an automatic drag car seems so “domestic” to most import enthusiasts. After all, when was the last time you saw an automatic Civic, RX7 or Supra scorching the 1320? Of course, there have been automatic conversions adopted by the Supra community, LS swapped imports, and the 1G/2G DSM crowds. Some of these conversions have proven to outperform and, in some cases, outlast their three-pedaled cousins on the drag strip. Text by Richard Fong // Photos by Jun Chen and Richard Fong Commemorating Racing Buschur Racing has celebrated over 25 years of racing and tuning Mitsubishis and, more recently, Nissan’s R35 GT-R. Not long after opening his shop, the president of Buschur Racing (BR), David Buschur, got together with some friends for a private day at the drag strip. This ga

admin101April 18, 2018

In celebration of IDRC’s 20th anniversary, DSPORT Magazine’s own R33 GT-R is currently being prepared for some personal record-breaking runs. Project RH8 needs no introduction to the avid DSPORT Magazine readers. 2018 Upgrades and Facts: • Bringing back the 2.8-liter instead of the 2.6-liter • 80whp gain from tuning alone • Upgraded electronics that allow for RWD burnouts • 1,270whp on the dyno without nitrous • Testing push nitrous system (100-130whp anticipated gain) • Expected to deliver 1,400whp before Sunday The previous personal best time for Project RH8 was 8.93 seconds in Las Vegas. For this IDRC West Coast Nationals, we are targeting 8.5 seconds, only because it’s the quickest legal time according to the NHRA rules. We will be working overtime to get the R33 ready

Rodolfo “Ivan” Manio’s 2016 Subaru WRX

admin101April 16, 2018

Name  Rodolfo “Ivan” Manio IG- @1slobaru2h8 Crew Name  Team Hybrid Vehicle Year, Make, Model  2016 Subaru WRX Premium Bio  Im a father of two. My oldest is 16 and the youngest is 13 years old. Happily married to my beautiful wife for 16 years and counting.  Why did you choose this car?  I choose this car because I’ve always wanted to have an AWD turbocharged vehicle. I’ve wanted an Evolution 9 but the time and money didn’t allow me to have one. So when Subaru came out with this type of design on the WRX, I cant pass not owning one.  What makes your build unique?  I would say Im more after the functionality of the build and my plan for it to be unique will take time. I want my car to stand out away from the other people who have the same model as mine.  How did you get started

Sean Sampayan’s 2014 Honda Civic Si

admin101April 16, 2018

Name  Sean Sampayan   Crew Name  NvUS (Inland Empire chapter) Vehicle Year, Make, Model  2014 Honda Civic Si coupe  Bio I was born in Riverside county in 1981. I grew up around muscle cars. I started getting into imports right after High school when I got my first Honda CRX. I love functional builds as well as show/stanced builds. I love taking my cars onto the race track and working on my own cars. Why did you choose this car?  I originally wanted a 2013 Civic Si sedan. Until I saw the 2014 coupe front end change with the aggressive design, that's when I knew I wanted the coupe. It's a perfect daily car and weekend warrior.  What makes your build unique? Mostly I see these newer Honda Civic stanced or bagged whereas I grew up around cars where you build it, use it, rebuild it.

Ron Story’s 2015 Subaru Legacy 3.6R

admin101April 16, 2018

Name   Ron Story Crew Name  Team Impact Vehicle Year, Make, Model  2015 Subaru Legacy 3.6r Bio I’ve been participating in Import Car Shows since 2002 and have won several awards with my previous Subaru that was built for performance and have decided to enter another level of competition by building my Subaru Legacy 3.6r Gen 6 to follow the VIP Style with some performance upgrades.  I enjoy the car show scene because of the different cultures of people you meet, different visions of styles and new friendships generated.  Why did you choose this car?  Initially I bought the Subaru Legacy 3.6r as a daily driver and after being out of the car show scene for about 8 years I decided to fall back to my friends at Autofashion USA about my vision of taking my Legacy 3.6r to the VIP level.
