THE COVER FEATURE — C’S GARAGE LATEST FLEET
After becoming the first international team to win Final Bout outright, C’s Garage proved that world-class driving and style could come out of a shed in Coatesville; with a freshly updated fleet, a new face in the crew, and a container already bound for Europe, they’re already back for round two
Nearly 20 years down the track, the recipe hasn’t changed. Adam and Joel Hedges still pour countless hours into the shed, building everything in-house from the ground up. The styling still draws heavily from the Osaka and Kansai drift scenes, and the philosophy is the same as it’s always been — build cars to be driven aggressively, and make them look good doing it. That mindset has quietly built them a following that stretches far beyond New Zealand.
SLAMMED & STATIC SUPRA
Static, slammed, and driven exactly like that. After fifteen years, Connor Macleod’s Supra has reached a form unlike any other
Connor Macleod’s Supra doesn’t really make a lot of sense. And honestly, that’s exactly why people love it. Most JZA80 builds tend to head in a pretty familiar direction. Big power, aggressive aero, drag-style setups, and dyno figures that become half the conversation around the car. Connor’s Supra ended up somewhere completely different.
THE PEOPLE MOVER
— JAY DUCA’S ROTARY-POWERED MAZDA PARKWAY BUS
Low Standard’s Jay Duca has built some wild machines, but it’s a $1,200 pub crawler bus that might just be his greatest yet!
There’s a certain kind of person who looks at a perfectly good vehicle and sees only potential for chaos. Adelaide’s Jay Duca is that person. He’s 2JZ-swapped a Honda Odyssey, four-rotor-swapped a VL Commodore, and OM606 diesel-turbo-swapped a Torana — so when we tell you his latest project is a 13B rotary-swapped Mazda Parkway bus, you shouldn’t be all that surprised.
STILL BUZZING — BLOWN RX-4 COUPE
Kelly Walden’s blown RX-4 was a jaw-dropper in the early 2000s, and now it’s back to inspire a whole new generation … well, kinda!
Anyone lucky enough to be cruising through Mission Bay on a sunny early-2000s afternoon will already know the name DABUZZ. The supercharged RX-4 coupe wasn’t just a car — it was part of the Auckland street scene’s DNA. Endless laps, parked-up flex sessions, and a whole lot of necks being snapped all summer long.
LEVIN BY DESIGN – STREET + TRACK 2ZZ-GE LEVIN
Car builds don’t simply ‘happen’, right? Whether consciously or not, we’re absorbing a tidal wave of influence along the way, and perhaps unsurprisingly, when those influences are harnessed with a dash of logic, a pinch of skill, and a heap ofcan-do attitude, the net result is more often than not a well-balanced, focused creation; Rhys’ AE101 Levin might just exemplify this notion
FIX UP, LOOK SHARP – 280ZX IMSA GT BOB SHARP RACING TRIBUTE
The second generation of Datsun’s Z-car never quite captured the imagination of the masses like the original. Nothing is beyond attaining coolness, however, and the aggressive presence of this two-seater 280ZX IMSA GT tribute is absolute proof these cars deserve more than a second look
FULL FORM — BOOSTED CIVIC TRIO
Meet Form51’s three OEM+ amigos — a trio of VI-RS sedans so clean and intertwined we couldn’t help but turn it into a triple feature
STREET LEGAL – G-CORP S13
Daniel ‘Danrito’ Williamson returns with yet another S-Chassis slider — this time, a sump-scraping, two-tone G-Corp S13 street car
REVCON 2026
A new name, a new home, and a fresh direction. REVCON brings multiple automotive scenes together under one roof, creating a show that’s bigger, louder, and more diverse than ever before
BLAST FROM THE PAST – LANZAR AUDIO CIVIC
In the early 2000s, marketing budgets were big and demo cars were loud, the Lanzar Civic has lived to tell the tale!
GODZILLA’S STOMPING GROUNDS
From pristine survivors to four-figure monsters, the PPG Nissan & GT-R Festival proved NZ’s Nissan scene is on another level
MITSUBISHI OWNERS DAY 2026
A venue shake-up and crisis at the pump couldn’t stop the 2026 Mitsubishi Owners Day from packing out the strip at NAPA Auto Parts Dragway, Meremere
AND MUCH MORE!
