Nicole Woolf once owned a Honda S2000 Club Racer, but she felt like modifying that car would be sacrilege because of its rarity. After selling the Club Racer, she picked up a 2012 Honda CR-Z, and began changing it up in every way she could. With an eye for high quality products, and a love for the car community, Woolf has taken her CR-Z to show-worthy levels of modification.

Michael Vinall has always been a fan of lightweight FR-layout cars, and when it came time to buy a turbocharged car of his own, he set his sights on an S15 Silvia. With lots of aftermarket support and potential, he picked the platform because of its ability to modify freely. After a trip up to Melbourne to see a lightly modified example, he couldn't say no, and the rest is history.
