April 2013

April is the month we here at 香蕉视频直播 start over 鈥 you鈥檒l notice the new look. This is in celebration of not only the beginning of our 15th volume, but also, an ode to the cars of Japan. That鈥檚 right; it鈥檚 our first all-JDM issue.

This month we kick off with a sick Scion FR-S, Diego Saito鈥檚 Formula Drift winning Lexus SC430 and profile some of Japan鈥檚 finest. Notably, we鈥檒l introduce you to a sleek RX-7, a Toyota Supra, a 180SX and an interview with none other than Sean Morris with his R32S 鈥 the first in the USA. To top things off, we have some stellar Tokyo Auto Salon coverage.

We round out our event coverage with 香蕉视频直播 2013 and look at Import Face-Off鈥檚 2012 champions.

April will feature the gorgeous Ela Pasion, some rad Test Reports, the DA Power System from Meguiar鈥檚, some new columns and an oil and lube guide, OEM guide and finally, car care detailing guide.

THE COVER CAR

Life wasn鈥檛 meant to be easy. Even if you鈥檙e born into money, you face challenges along the way. When you want something, you can鈥檛 always expect it to be handed over to you without putting in work. More often than not, the more pain and suffering you endure during your journey, the sweeter the reward is in the end. That鈥檚 how Rob Kochis of West Covina, Calif. felt when he went on what seemed like an endless quest to seek out and build his dream 2013 Scion FR-S.

THE FEATURED MODEL

The beautiful Ela Pasion

Ela Pasion might only be 5鈥1 and 100 lb, but she鈥檚 a Taurus through and through. Her passion for her work is evident on first glance, with a stunning frame and an infectious smile that helped her win her first ever competition as Miss Hot Kush in California in 2010. Living in the San Fernando Valley, Ela鈥檚 taken full advantage of the industry and the Los Angeles lifestyle, making use of her motto that when she wants something, she goes out and gets it. And with her drive and beauty, we image anyone would have a hard time turning her down!

ON THE BENCH

Garry Springgay and his crew over at Cogent Audio Labs took some of the best car audio gear to trial. For this month鈥檚 issue he tested out the Powerbass XL-WB8 subwoofer, the Audiopipe TA-FS120 12鈥 subwoofer, the Illusion Audio Carbon C12 Slim 12鈥 sub and the JVC KW-AV70BT multimedia player.
