nice project. im curious though, how do the cars get smogged? are they show/track cars only? i wish something like this was up here in the bay.

Your use of HDR offends me.

Aside from that, killer car and congrats on the GQ stuff!

pretty cool shoot. The E30 on Nostalgia/ultra was actually a good friend of mines E30 M3. The picture was used without any permission whatsoever.

So we've been dealing with Frank Ocean for about a year and a half now, after he purchased an E30 from out of state that had a number of issues. After addressing the issues with the car he purchased, we decided it was better to start with a new platform for the project he wanted. As a result we planned a ground-up rebuild of an E30, which we've slowly been building over the past year. Anyway, the car will finally be finished within the next 2 months, and we will post plenty of pics and details on the build.

Spec list of the car:

S54 + 6 speed swap
RMS Stage 2 supercharger set-up with Miller Performance tuning
Real 4 door M-tech 2 kit
Right hand drive conversion per Frank's request
E30 M3 5-lug
Staggered 17" Alpinas,
Custom metal flares front and rear
Fresh Lexus Moon-stone paint
Custom re-upholstered interior
Custom sound system
etc.










About a month ago Frank gave us a call, and asked if he could borrow a few cars, and some time at the shop to do a photoshoot with GQ magazine. Well, needless to say, we were more then willing to take on this opportunity! Our cars and the shop made it into 3 of the 4 photos in this month's GQ article on Frank named "Ocean-ography." Here is the link to the article:
