Let me start out by saying that every single crash in this video resulted in the driver walking away. Nobody was hurt during these wrecks. Its getting close to the end of 2022 and that means that there are going to be lots of compilation videos coming in the next month or two, highlighting stuff that happened in 2022 on and off the race track. Because the majority of this video is shop up north, I’m guess that their racing season is already over and that’s why they have beat everyone else to the punch.
Regardless, there are some horrible crashes in this one. I hate seeing it, but some of them will certainly teach people some things NOT to do. It also might show some folks something different to do. Regardless folks, keep your heads on straight in the car and make sure you wear your safety gear!

This is the 2022 “highlight reel” with some of the worst wrecks, wheelies and wild rides from the 2022 season! All drivers who crashed in this video were OK and walked away thanks to the safety equipment built into these race cars.
Here’s out 2nd gallery of photos from the Nitro Revival.(Photos by Wes Allison) When the Nitro Revival began a couple of years back at Irwindale I was sort of doubtful. Not because the cars and trucks or individuals entailed weren’t official, yet since I doubted the area. While practical, Irwindale is a little drag strip with an unusual layout that is an excellent spot for an automobile program however that isn’t always the most effective for an actual race. It turns out that this place is excellent for this occasion. Not just does it supply wonderful show area, but the 1/8th mile track is plenty for putting on the type of program that this occasion is all about. As well as with up close grandstands and also a lot of fencing to socialize on the followers obtain a great view of all the nitro automobiles cackling away.
Lucky for us, Wes Allison headed over to shoot pictures and guy did he obtain some great things. I am speaking legendary images that are the kind you ‘d wish to explode and also hold on the wall surface in your living-room. Simply take a look at the sunset in several of these! And those nitro fires, come on.
This event has actually turned into something truly unique and I’m unfortunate I could not be there to inspect it out in person this year, but once again this show just how hardcore Southern California cars and truck society is as well as we love it.

Could we be experiencing peak GT-R right now? With the insane attention Nissan’s performance icon is enjoying globally, I feel like I’m living back in the year 2000!
Except it’s better than that, because there’s never been a more ideal time to fine tune, modify and perfect these cars. In my mind, it’s led to a GT-R rebirth of sorts.
Last weekend’s R’s Meeting, once again held at Fuji Speedway, had an electrifying atmosphere – something I hadn’t experienced since its very early days.
I’m not sure if I am interpreting this right, but with all the international attention the GT-R is receiving, I feel like it’s helped reignite the passion of Japanese owners.
A lot of that probably has to do with the fact that their cars have tripled in value (insert grinning emoji here), but hey, I’ll take it.
I’ve seen a lot of people leave the GT-R world in favour of European and American sports cars, but many have now flocked back for a taste of that old school feel and rawness that makes these cars so damn addictive.
With this event, the 12th R’s Meeting, GT-R Magazine have stuck to their successful recipe of keeping things small and not trying to do too much. And with Japan having now reopened to the world, seeing familiar faces from overseas was so refreshing.
I’ve got a few stories planned from this event, but we’ll kick things off today with a walk through Fuji Speedway’s upper paddock area where R’s Meeting was held.
After visiting Yasui-san’s secret storage compound in Osaka last year, I was glad to see the special Rs that make up his insane collection – part of Global Auto – out in the sunshine.
While the 400R is a significant Skyline in its own right…
… It’s always special seeing a Z-tune R34 in the flesh. Not even Nismo bring out their examples, so props to Yasui for keeping us GT-R nerds drooling.
Finishing off his line-up – or at least part of it – was this Nismo GT-R on BBS LM wheels.
What R’s Meeting does really well is showcase every aspect of GT-R tuning, not just the performance side of things. This includes all the shops crafting bespoke wide-body conversions and dropping cars on air suspension.
There were glimpses that Japan’s once manic GT-R drag scene still has some life left in it, and that some people were always waiting for a four -door R34 GT-R. The latter never came of course, so the next best thing is to build your own.
I’m a massive fan of Auto Gallery Yokohama, their no-frills time attack style and the parts they continue to develop help the whole scene evolve.
Shibata-san at R31 House has decided to jump out of his comfort zone – specializing in and having the biggest R30 and R31 stock in the country – to do something with the second generation GT-Rs. He had this complete BCNR33 on display which has been completely restored to showroom spec.
I arrived at Fuji Speedway 30-minutes after the gates opened at 7:00am and, just like any other event in Japan, the place was already packed. It’s crazy how early people arrive at venues, but despite that there was a steady stream of amazing Rs still rolling in, including this ex-MCR demo sanyon.
I’m always interested to see what parts companies like Trust are working on, and it’s cool that their R34 GT-R demonstrator keeps evolving. In one of my upcoming posts I’ll be taking a closer look at a new component they’ve recently released. Hint: you can see it in the engine shots above.
While Mine’s needs no introduction, it wasn’t their R34 that was stealing all the attention this year…
Their collaborative BCNR33 Skyline GT-R build with Built By Legends was (mostly) completed just a few days prior to R’s Meeting. This is such a special creation that I’ll be showing you all the details in a little spotlight, and then following that up with a full feature before it’s shipped off to its lucky owner in the US.
The white R34 above is another amazing BBL project that we’re keeping an eye on. Garage Yoshida, the specialist shop that strips down, reinforces, spot-welds and preps in minute detail all of Built by Legends’ cars is almost done with it. It’ll then be sent over to Mine’s for reassembly.
I’ve always been a fan of how Midori Seibi modifies their GT-Rs. The approach is similar to the way Mine’s does things – if not a little more extreme and track-focused – but these days they cater to whatever the client requires.
This R34 has just been refreshed; it’s simple but effective with all the important performance parts in place.
On the other side of the spectrum, you can always expect Phoenix’s Power to hit hard when it comes to power and looks.
Their customer base is mainly made up of R35 owners, so they really have their VR upgrade engine packages sorted. Most of their builds are around the 1,000hp mark, but many push higher numbers.
That spectrum can take a sudden turn with surprising builds like this wild R34 on air.
The twin top-mount turbo setup was receiving a lot of attention, and how could it not with those welds.
Nismo had a display of CRS (Clubman Race Spec) specials, a package that along with various chassis refresh options and complete engine kits are keeping the Omori Factory very busy. In fact, the last I heard there was a one to two-year waiting list on everything.
Kazuhiko ‘Smoky’ Nagata and his Top Secret team had their usual selection of Wangan-spec GT-Rs on show.
Like every other prominent GT-R shop Japan, they too have done a u-turn and come up with their own complete cars marketed towards overseas buyers. Plus, Smoky has been busy with the new Z, rushing to develop parts and complete a demo machine in time for the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon, which is now just a couple of months away.
No event in Japan would be complete without a RAYS wall of alloy awesomeness. It’s always a fun stop to contemplate your next wheels.
Another great build was this ex-RGF demo car, which Powervehicles is currently looking after for a customer at their Ebisu Circuit base.
The R34 looks amazing, but I’m told it’s going to be given a bit of a refresh very soon. I’m hoping we can shoot at Ebisu’s Higashi course one of these days.
Top Rank, a performance car trader that acquires a lot of GT-Rs, had a booth showing off this crazy-low mileage R34. I think it had something like 500km on the clock!
Tomei Powered has added a full exhaust to their ‘Genesis’ complete RB28 display engine so people can visualize the path the Expreme titanium exhaust takes. It’s pretty straight, so awesome for flow.
I made sure to stop by the Auto Select booth for a chat with the guys. I’ve always loved their style.
It’s so much more in-your-face than anything built up in the Kanto area, where tuners are under so much scrutiny from the authorities. In Kansai, the letter of the law isn’t followed so strictly when it comes to vehicle modifications, so enthusiasts and tuners have always gone all-out.
This is one serious-looking R34; the owner obviously likes her GT-Rs with some track flavor.
The question here is, which one would you choose?
There was another 400R that people could get a little closer to at the Nakane Racing display. It’s crazy to think that these cars are now worth 10 times what they originally sold for.
GT-R Magazine has always worked closely with Nissan for this event, and one of the big drawcards is the cars they bring out from the automaker’s Heritage Collection.
Not to mention some of the legendary engineers who worked across most generations of the GT-R’s development.
A bonus for GT-R owners attending this event is an opportunity to have their cars featured in a GT-R Magazine insert.
As such, all day long there was a continuous line of GT-Rs slowly moving towards the areas where the magazine’s photographers were snapping away.
It’s here that you find some amazing rare cars, like the Autech R33 GT-R two images up and the stunning Hakosuka GT-R above.
I hope this post has gotten you into a GT-R kind of mood, as there is a lot more to see from R’s Meeting 2022. Check back soon for the spotlight post!
Saturn Flextreme Concept This is an installation in a series of posts looking back
on program cars that we really feel was worthy of a bit more interest than they obtained. If you have an idea for a ForgottenConcept subject, please shoot us a line or leave a comment below. Saturn Flextreme Shown: 2008 Detroit Auto Show Summary: Plug-in hybrid compact automobile Sales Pitch:”Flextreme reveals that unique reasoning can lead to excellent autos.”A Lot More Forgotten Concepts Saturn Flextreme Information: First seen at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, the Saturn Flextreme Concept was an online duplicate of the Opel Flextreme
Concept which had actually been introduced
at the 2007 Frankfort Auto
Show just a few weeks earlier. The Flextreme idea was a 4-door portable automobile featuring a plug-in serial-hybrid drivetrain similar to that presented in the Chevrolet Volt Concept presented at the Detroit Show a year earlier. Unlike the Volt Concept, which included a little gasoline engine, the Flextreme was powered by a tiny 1.3-liter diesel. When fully charged, the Flextreme was declared to travel approximately 34 miles on electrical power
alone, after which the diesel motor took control of. Saturn claimed a combined electric/diesel range of 444 miles. The Flextreme featured center-opening side doors which, when opened together, created a usefully large flow to the vehicle’s interior. Rather than a back hatch, the Flextreme incorporated a pair of gullwing-style doors located on the vehicle’s back bodyside. For city travelers, a pair of Segway Personal Transporters were stored under the automobile’s cargo area as well as could be accessed from outside of the vehicle. No word on if the Segway batteries were charged while in storage space under the vehicle.
Forgotten Concept: Briggs & Stratton Hybrid Saturn Flextreme CG Says: The Chevrolet Volt Concept was unveiled to much fanfare back in 2007, yet the hoopla may have come mostly from the car press, which seemed to comprehend the E-Flex plug-in crossbreed system better than the public. When the production Volt got here for 2011, public feedback was lukewarm at best, as General Motors managed public as well as media apprehension, particularly that from Fox News. Because of this,
Volt variations like the Opel as well as Saturn Flextreme never grew into complete manufacturing designs. Regretfully, the E-Flex idea– which is vary similar to Nissan’s e-Power system– never ever saw life beyond the Volt, unless you count the brief, and also extremely uncommon, Cadillac ELR

Riko’s Meeting: Celebrating Japanese Car Culture in California – Speedhunters
SHARE Riko’s Meeting: Celebrating Japanese Car Culture in California
Sunrise
My breath hung in the cool air as I pulled out my camera and made my way toward some hot caffeine. The green neon accent lights bordering the roofline of the recently-restored Niles Flying A service shop glowed brighter than the clouded sky.
The familiar sound of our favorite four-bangers – and a few sixes here and there – sliced through the crisp morning silence. An excited murmur spread through the growing crowd each time another car buzzed by; cars which were now filling the overflow lot down the road. Before the sun began to rise above the rolling hills beyond, Niles Boulevard in Fremont, California was already packed with old school Japanese cars.
Riko’s Meeting was well and underway, and it was barely 7:00am.
My camera was pushed beyond its capabilities shooting handheld in the light of dawn, and I couldn’t believe how many people made it up before the sun to get a good spot at the Cars & Coffee-esque gathering. I’m not sure what the exact recipe is for a good event, but Riko’s Meeting had the key ingredients nailed.
The location was well thought-out, with the Niles Flying A providing a fantastic hub for the natural ebb and flow of enthusiasts as they meandered about, grabbing coffee or donuts and catching up with friends. Riko rented out the space for the morning, which is nestled into the historic Niles district in Fremont. Old buildings and homes line the wide sidewalks across the street, and the aesthetic is completed by a couple of vintage American cars parked out back.
Generally this area is inundated with American muscle, but not today. The semi-curated turnout consisted only of Japanese cars, mostly those produced in the pre-2000s (just as advertised in pre-event flyers that made the social media rounds). Riko collaborated with Roger Hernandez, who organizes weekly import-centric Cars & Coffee meets in the nearby city Hayward, to help promote the event and ensure a solid turnout of vintage Japanese metal.
A few nice late-model builds snuck in as well, as did a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. And a food truck, which had delicious tacos and breakfast burritos, though somewhat regrettably I only tried the former later in the day.
There was one other Volkswagen on site as well, a bus-turned-pop-up boba tea shop that was situated out front of the Flying A.
Riko’s AE86 was parked up front and center nearby, featuring his signature gold finish and an ITB-fed 3S-GE behind a Levin nose. The car has already been featured on Speedhunters – as has his matching 993 RWB and IMSA-style 240Z for that matter – so I won’t spend much time on it beyond a few photos to remind you how wild this SEMA Show build is.
With SEMA right around the corner again, it’s great to see that many of these cars do in fact have a life beyond the Las Vegas Convention Center.
While the venue, cars, drinks and food were great, the people are the glue that holds a personable show like this together. Being a local gathering (just a few miles from my front door, actually) there were lots of familiar faces that filled the sidewalks on the east end of Niles Boulevard.
But you know how events like this are. It doesn’t matter if you know someone or not; you can just walk right up and start asking them about their wheels, their suspension, their seats, who rebuilt their carburetors, where they got that Honda sweatshirt, or whatever.
Although things have been rebooted here in the US for a good year or so, I feel like I’m still recovering from more than a year of stagnated events and gatherings due to Covid. Since things have gotten back to normal, I’ve been to a number of Cars & Coffee gatherings, but somehow Riko’s Meeting was extra refreshing.
More than 100 cars – and even more people – came through the meet, which lasted the full four hours from 7:00am to 11:00am, and then some. It was the first time in a long time that I spent more than an hour or two at a meet like this, and it also was the first time in a long time that I found myself shooting far more than I needed to.
There was a bit of everything on display. From completely stock examples to the ultra-modified; from kei cars to off-roading machines; from carbureted inline-fours to twin-turbocharged V8s. It’s amazing how much variation can be found within a single chassis, let alone the many different models from various marques that made it out to Riko’s meeting.
Before things dwindled down and everyone got on with the rest of their weekend, Riko held a raffle full of small items from Japan, including car magazines, an unopened Initial D manga set – that I really wished I had won – and an authentic Japanese nudie mag, among other things. Best of all, tickets were free; you just had to show up.
The raffle – and the whole show for that matter – was Riko’s way of contributing to the community, and to the growing base of JDM enthusiasts. Riko explained that while many others his age have moved on to Lamborghinis or Ferraris, he has stayed true to what he’s always loved: old school Japanese cars.
While I would consider the gathering a smashing success, it’s clear that Riko wants more. He points to events like Pebble Beach or the more recently-formed Velocity Invitational – which took place the same weekend – and notes that there isn’t really a Japanese-centric equivalent in the US.
JCCS in SoCal or marque-specific events like ZCON or NSXPO are the closest that come to mind, but they certainly don’t hold the prestige or cachet of shows like Pebble or The Quail. The Japanese Automotive Invitational – a Pebble Beach sub-event – is a good step in the right direction, and a sign that Japanese cars are finally being appreciated for the gems that they are.
But for Riko, the sky’s the limit, and he wants to do his part in pushing the scene forward in the US. So he’s here, raising his flag for Japanese car culture. What’s next? Only time will tell.
Before heading home, I pulled out a ‘3D’ film camera that I picked up from my good friend John Cirone during Covid times and gave it a try for the first time. I may get reprimanded for uploading such large files (give them a second to load), but enjoy.
I’ll be back soon to shine a spotlight on a couple of my favorite cars from Riko’s Meeting. Thanks to everyone who showed up and made the event what it was.
When it makes its appearance the following year, the customized 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander will consist of a number of upgrades. The advanced front design was based upon a previous model of Xerox that was a success immediately.
Although the Outlander shares the exact same system as the three-row Nissan Rogue, it is necessary to keep in mind that the rearmost seats of this design are not produced grownups. The Outlander’s 181-horsepower four-cylinder engine is typical with a CVT as well as front-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is available as an alternative. The plug-in crossbreed is available as well, which includes a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine as well as two electric motors that generate a combined 248 horsepower.
2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Exterior Appearance Complying with on the heels of a thorough remodeling completed the previous year, Mitsubishi will make some refined modifications to the new Outlander. The advanced look preserves but, it currently has a more attractive appearance.
It has an extremely large grille and also fronts lights that are exceptionally small. The forthcoming SUV rests on the same system as the current generation of the Nissan Rogue, resulting in lots of advantages. Anyhow, we ‘d recommend the mid-level SEL version. This model consists of 20-inch wheels, a power liftgate, and also driver-assist functions like adaptive cruise ship control as well as lane-keeping help.
Interior Changes
The brand-new 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander uses higher passenger quantity inside the vehicle than its precursor as a result of increases in length, breadth, as well as wheelbase dimensions. Likewise, in contrast to the previous design, this one has a far more advanced control panel layout as well as an extra refined choice of products for the interior trim. Additionally, there is a variety of contemporary devices easily accessible, including a head-up display as well as a 12.3-inch digital gauge collection.
When it comes to comfort within, the first 2 rows have greater hip space and legroom, but there is really little room for adults to extend in the third seat. The Volkswagen Tiguan is the only crossover in its class that offers comfy seating for 7. With a 1 cubic foot increase in general capacity behind the second as well as third rows, the new Outlander has even more area for cargo this moment.
2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Engine Options The base version of the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander is available with a 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine that is capable of creating 181 horse power and 181 pound-feet of torque. This design comes optional with an automated gearbox that has a continuously altering gear proportion( CVT). Although the Outlander’s velocity times approach those of the turbocharged CX-5 and also Kia Sportage compact crossovers, they feel much less receptive and extra sluggish at highway speeds.
This feeling is as a result of Outlander’s gearless CVT transmission. Aside from that, the plug-in crossbreed version has a higher optimum power output, as well as we prepare for that it will certainly have rather enhanced velocity. This design includes 2.4-liter four-cylinder and also a pair of electrical motors, which led to a combined 248 horsepower.
How Much Is a Fully Loaded 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander? We expect that the basic rate of the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander’s entry-level variation with front-wheel drive will certainly stay around the like it is now. This indicates it will certainly cost approximately$27,000.
The most costly design offered is an Outlander SEL with all-wheel drive. This version begins at $36,000. We expect that the future Outlander PHEV will certainly be somewhere in the center of that range when it lastly hits the market in 2023.
