Alright so, I don’t know what the hell I’ve been doing but there’s not enough time in a day for me to complete anything. I’ve been playing catch up and juggling everything from the events to orders and yabadaba, btw thank you to everyone who placed an order during the black friday weekend, y’all came up cus that was a fat discount. Also, we will be at GReddy again this weekend for their annual food drive, so come by and bring some food, and some musubis. You can come buy a steering wheel too, we still got some! Okay back to biz, Ive been going through all my photos so I can hang them up around the new house and again, I dont know what the hell Ive been doing but there’s some cool stuff I forgot about. And I guess I forgot that theres a BLOG to our website where I can upload them so people could see! I’m lost man, I need some interns to help out and make videos, design, pack orders, whatever, so send me your resumes, need videos fasho tho, taylorujihara@gmail.com starting pay is 5 tees a day yes Im forreal. If you dont know what Im talking about you should go surf the site and check out the other pages.
I swear Hawaii is full of the most gangsta cars that we’ve all seen on the internet a long time ago on a blog or in a magazine or whatever but all of them havent moved in years and are neglected . For the most part they’re just sitting there rotting away, and Hawaii got a lot of moisture so they tend to rust away and basically die. But the VIP scene in Hawaii was very popular and these fakas built some of the sickest LS’ like this one right here. So this brah right here, Gary Ganotisi, yall heard of this guy?? Legend no joke, your favorite car dude, drifter, whatever learned from this dude right here. Gary is a walking talking encyclopedia of JDM, drift, tires, fab work, lowriding, paint & body, Hawaii, food, whatever, you name it. If you hang out with him, guarantee youll learn something. He’s like a history book but you pay attention cus he’s talking in pidgin so it’s like funny and cool to hear, but at the same time you’re trying to figure out what the hell he just said. I was lucky that Gary was visiting at the same time I was. He was there for a month or so, and I was there for a couple weeks so we got to cruise for a good amount of time. I was at Bolo’s house and Gary comes over with his son who btw is like 14 and has 3 cars and a pro drifter, and can paint and design, and just a talented little dude. But Gary’s talking story about his 50 cars that he owns and says I got something you’d like. He shows me pictures of this LS he’s like yea its just dying outside at my parents house. I told him I gotta see this thing in person and take some photos so went over the next day and yup sick af. The best UCF10 Ive ever seen. Even tho the paints all bad that shit dont matter its cus its in hawaii sittin there. But usually no one like the first generation LS cus its kinda ugly and nobody does em right to inspire someone to build one. But this shiitt right here would change anybodys mind about a first gen.
He mentioned that this was built like over 20 years ago and no one was doing stuff like this at the time. And he said the car was built “Ahead of it’s time” which are the perfect words to describe it. See Gary’s a poet too. But this LS is still so much sicker than a lot of people’s today, and everybody is trying to do this type of style nowadays. So to have this over 20 years ago is crazy, this is car is legendary to the VIP scene and the grass roots to style! The first thing you notice would prolly be the big ass exhaust sticking out which is so sick, but I think what makes it look sick is the kit. If that was different kit that exhaust would look different. Everything just flows so well together and just some KL Style man. So the kit, nobody got this kit man, you can get em fake but nah dude. This the real deal DEVIL’s KIT brah. You only see this in VIPStyle Magazine or some Japanese magazine you can’t read. But this is the stuff you dont even see anymore cus no one has it. This is like the photos you of the Yakuza dudes standing in front of the VIP cars and the photos so old its like blurry. This kit is from that time.
Look at that high radius man. He told me thats easy stuff lol. That is a work of art. He tried to start it but the battery was dead. The interior was still clean too just the outside looks like it’s seen better days but its just aged like fine wine.
Dude whoever took these photos is a pro man. The wheels are AME Shallens namsayin?! Gangsta OG. So Gary was saying that he would give me this car and not let it die so Gary if youre reading dont forget you said that!! But yea I would put some TLC in this babeh. But Gary is a paint God like forreal everyone in Vegas wants him to paint their cars. His shop is JS4Kix I know you heard of it and if you havent now you have! He is also into Lowriders and you know those paintjobs arent easy, Ramsey wanted Gary to paint his car but when Gary heard what color he said he dont do no gay pink color. jk Gary is just the best of the best so theres a long line like a new shoe release so you gotta wait your turn. So Gary wanted to keep this car alive and had the plan to paint it before he went back home. And he did! I put some pics at the end of his son sanding it and the grey color he used. It was just some paint he had laying around but the main purpose was to seal everything so no rust spreads. Enjoy the photos, Thank you for showing me the car Gary! I think only like 2 people actually go on here and read but if you do, leave a comment! and go read the TEAM RIDAH page and THE PURPOSE OF KL page!! Okay shoots~ TU
I also stopped by the paint shop and his son started painting his fenders for his 240! Going to be skilled like his dad!
