30in30 – #11: Old school JDM vs Trance beats, DJ Skyracer to Elmia!

Mixed bag of news today involving the very same person, namely Håkan ”DJ SKYRACER” Eriksson who will be at the BILSPORT PERFORMANCE SHOW 2012.

First of all he is known by his ”daytime job” (*duh*) as a DJ around Stockholm for many years now, his ONLINE STREAMS are worth checking out if you need a reference about his work. He will attend in the very same role, and we hope to use some of his beats as ”in between shooting” material from the live Superior-TV feed from the expo.

Secondly, he has always had a name as one of the earliest Nissan Skyline importers in Sweden. And last year we helped him bring home another unique JDM-car which cannot be mistaken by anyone who is a fan of the cult-series Initial D that has made more then one person a huge fan of drifting:

The car was bought as a restoration project to build an pretty much exact replica of the ”Tofu shop” Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86, and after many hours; Håkan might have perfected the formula to make it a stand-out in Swedens JDM car-culture:

So visit the expo 6 – 9 April and take a look for yourself how he did, and if you can’t be there- make sure to follow OUR FACEBOOK on how to get plenty of coverage from down there (some of it live!).

Two weeks to go until everything kicks off, can this be the best PERFORMANCE SHOW EXPO ever…?

30in30 – #10: Tires for Time Attack and Swedens fastest (?) Evo…?

Plenty of pressure ahead of CUSTOM AND MOTORSHOW 2012 which suits us just fine, especially when we acquire new quality partners almost by the day!

Todays news for the coming expo is about RALPHS DÄCK who is definitely your hook-up when it comes to high quality tires this season.

Ralph himself is one of the key members behind the Timeattack.nu racing series coming soon, and his company is among Swedens best in reputation when it comes to high performance wheels like OZ, Team Dynamics and even some Japanese quality brands.

When it comes to tires they have always been Swedens premium retailer of Toyo R888 tires which is a popular choice for track day-junkies.

But forget about that and lets talk about the Mitsubishi Evo VI pictured here. Its going to be at the expo, and we can just briefly say its aspiring to be one of Swedens fastest at the circuit this season:

With a full raced out chassis consisting of Öhlins coil-overs, sequential gearbox, 600+HP and a lot of custom work by the same workshop that produces MajoR Aero parts done over the winter, this thing is not BS’ing about!

Follow OUR FACEBOOK to keep up with everything ahead of the big season opener April 6- 9 down in Jönköping!

Timeattack.nu: Dessa datum är det som gäller (Kinnekulle – Rudskogen – Mantorp Park)!

Den snart lanserade Time Attack serien i Sverige går nu ut med de datum alla fans av denna nya bilsport måste boka upp sig på!

Siten kommer förhoppningsvis under veckan (Timeattack.nu) och det kommer propageras för fullt på alla forum runtom i Sverige för detta.

Vi släpper lite i smyg de datum som gäller för de tre banorna:

Precis som tidigare år när SUPRA CLUB SWEDEN arrangerat sina träffar så är det Kinnekulle Ring och Mantorp Park som vi bygger allting kring.

Nytt till i år är ett datum på Rudskogen som vi kan tacka en av seriens huvudmän för, RALPHS DÄCK.

Mycket mer är på väg ut, och vi räknar med att alla ser till att sprida den nya siten så fort den lanseras.

Vore det inte en dröm om alla som någonsin fascinerats av Time Attack äntligen fick en seriös scen att stå på här i Sverige…?

30in30 – #9: Rocket Bunny S14 ProInt driftcar coming to the expo!

More news today ahead of CUSTOM AND MOTORSHOW that is less then 20 days away from opening up. Today we reveal another car that will be a part of Superiors own Drifting Team this season, but we can’t tell you more then thats its a Nissan Silvia S14 (200SX) that is powered by a LS2 V8 engine and with a chassis very similar to Matt Poweres Formula Drift car: The car is owned by former Sierra Cosworth owner Daniel Asp, and thanks to some mutual friends he was invited as a prospect to be a potential member of the team- and it didn’t take many meetings until we clearly knew we saw things the same way! So make sure not to miss this car, as it will not only be one hell of a Drifting build, but also bring the extremely hyped Rockey Bunny bodykit to Sweden for the first time (example below): So far that means two cars have officially been revealed in our own Drifting Team. But we are just getting started! FOLLOW OUR FACEBOOK to always find

out more, not long to go until the biggest expo in Scandinavia opens up!

30in30 – #7: Swedish Powerdrift Series unveiled! *VIDEO*

One of our biggest projects for this coming season is by far to get heavily involved in the Swedish Drifting scene, and to do it in a genuine way that will benefit the sport itself the most.

When we decided to have this ideology for the coming effort invest, SWR MOTORSPORT revealed during early winter they were going to start a drifting series that took place in the middle of the country: Swedish Powerdrift Series!


Swedish Powerdrift Series 2012 – Promo from PG-Media.se on Vimeo.

We quickly hooked up with them, and after months of hard work; things like this promo by PG-MEDIA (with footage from David Skogsby) that launched yesterday- we feel comfortable enough to reveal that at CUSTOM AND MOTORSHOW we will get to the bottom of things thoroughly on how the action will look like in 2012.

Not only will we meet the man behind the series (Peter Sandström), but a lot of people involved in the series such as drivers, sponsors etc.

You can meet them in the B-hall at the expo, with another big profile that we will also make sure to tell you more about in coming ”30 in 30” news ahead of the expos opening!

Keep following OUR FACEBOOK to see how our own team is slowly and with cryptical progress coming along.

You might see a few orange/turquoise cars battling it out in the Powerdrift Series for sure…

30in30 – #7: Team Pony Drift new website & more 2012!

Todays news ahead of CUSTOM AND MOTORSHOW 2012 where Superior-TV will rampantly disclose many new projects and meet interesting guests, is one of our friends from the Swedish Drift circuit- TEAM PONY DRIFT!

Team owner/driver Michel Rayes has invested heavily with not just one more identical Ford Mustang, but also with a brand spanking new WEBSITE (CLICK!) which we really encourage you to visit!

Oh! Did we mention they also added Rasmus Möller as a driver with a Nissan S14.5 Silvia powered by a 2JZ-GTE engine (I know many will celebrate a Japanese sportscar joined the fray for this normally US-muscle freak).

His car will be shown on Malmömässan shortly!

 

We have had the pleasure of having regular talks with Michel during the off-season in our mapping of knowing where the right moves are to be made in the 2012 Swedish drifting season– and when we meet him for interviews or as a member of paneldiscussions etc.

As you can already guess, there will be plenty to talk about directly at CUSTOM AND MOTORSHOW; and we advice you to also FOLLOW OUR FACEBOOK to never miss a beat!

30in30 – #6: ”Tuning scene” nostalgia, Kooz ”Zerrari” displayed!

Todays news brings a little blast from the past that will appear on the CUSTOM AND MOTORSHOW 2012 this easter. Longtime styling-car builder Lukas Koos brings his first build, the Nissan 300ZX ”Zerrari”:

Whats so special about this ”riced out” and quite outdated ”Veilside looking” Z then?

Well, hold your hating comments for yourself when you consider that ten years ago this was all the rage and put a lot of cars on the scene to dead shame.

Iam a very good friend of Lukas and we have sponsored several of his builds that most often become a ”love/hate” kind of scenario.

And this might sound like the blog is sucking up, but iam really looking forward to seeing this car again- definately nostalgia and kudos to BILSPORT for inviting it as a part of their 50th anniversary for the expo…

I had to ask the man himself what he would like to do ”all over again” of his numerous builds, and he answered without a doubt the Fairlady Z / 350Z he did all those years ago would be on top of the list.

Wonder how it would look reloaded and brought back into the 2012th century…? 🙂

As usual we will catch up with this extremely experienced ”styling car” builder that is as humble as they come.

Feel free to post questions to ask, both provocative and flattering!

 

30in30 – #5: Time Attack har äntligen nått Sverige på allvar! *Superior-TV*

Dagens nyhet blir enhälligt på svenska, då vi ska presentera ett klipp från Custom and Motorshow 2011. Varför visa ett klipp från förra året som en nyhet för i år?

Jo, för det är nu som arbetet sedan detta mycket spännande möte mellan fyra stycken Time Attack entusiaster börjat generera något. Börja med att se klippet och bekanta er med dessa individer:

Superior-TV: Diskussion och första spadtaget för Time Attack racing i Sverige from Superior Media on Vimeo.

Sedan detta spelades in har Robin (Antonsson) och Carl (Winberg) fortsatt arbetet med detta, och med två starka företag med stort intresse för detta (Ralphs däck samt Superior Imports) har vi nu inom kort många tunga nyheter att lansera!

Vi uppmuntrar alla att hålla stenkoll här i Superior-bloggen och alla stora motorfordon i Sverige då hemsidan WWW.TIMEATTACK.NU kommer lanseras.

Givetvis är också en stor närvaro på årets mässa planerad, och vi kommer prata mycket om Time Attack i Superior-TV hela helgen!

30in30 – #4: Two Soarers will cruise the streets of Jönköping this easter…

Just another quick newsflash ahead of the CUSTOM AND MOTORSHOW expo that will open up the season for all car enthusiasts in Sweden.

We are bringing two Toyota Soarers to Jönköping to act as our daily drivers during the whole weekend. We can reveal one of them right away, but it will definitely not look like this anymore then:

This car was originally imported by us and sold to one hell of a nice guy named Thomas ”1JZ-Thompa” Wennerström.

Since then he refined it slightly with some nice wheels and flirts with the Hellaflush-scene a bit, not to mention killing the stock clutch with a ”boost-up” package and going drag racing with it! 😉

Pictures taken by the one and only Martin ”BILBILDER.SE” Persson who shot these during JDM Face-off finals where Superior Drivers Club members got to race for free.

We can’t tell you more about the other Soarer also going to Jönköping in just a bit over 3 weeks time, but if you FOLLOW OUR FACEBOOK you might find out more…

30in30 – #3: Old school Nissan Skyline DR30 @ Elmia 2012!

With the countdown to CUSTOM AND MOTORSHOW 2012 now barely four weeks to go, we bring you another fun item to look forward to.

Superior are bringing a 1984 Nissan Skyline DR30 RS-Turbo which will be in our stand (A02:28) so all you fans of ”old school JDM” will be able to witness a real gem!

This was the first generation of the legendary Nissan Skyline that had a turbo, and this generation really made a name for itself in various racing series within Japan; while being the top spec sportscar offered domestically.

We have a long tradition of JDM-imports here at Superior, and we wanted to show how its time to access the pure gold available there in somewhat older cars.

Do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you are dreaming of a proper enthusiast car from Japan!

We would like to thank the SUPERIOR SELECTED photographer Hjalmar van Hoek @ JALLEGRAPHICS for taking these lovely pics during last years Superior Meet.

Really was a fantastic day!
