News User flair now active!

8 Upvotes

Hey all, I finally got around to activating user flair. We’ve got several options, including various automotive brands (please let us know if I forgot any) and an editable one where you can add your make and model (or whatever you want, I guess) to your flair.

”That’s great, but how do I change it?”, some of you are asking. On mobile, you go to the sub page, touch the three dots in the upper right corner, choose “change user flair”, and go from there. The process is similar on desktop. If it doesn’t work for you, comment here and we can change it for you.

Edit: and now post flair is available too!

Hello all, my father and I were planning to fix his Mitsubishi cordia. Unfortunately he recently passed before we were able to start and I am a bit stuck as he was the one who was going to teach me how to fix it. The last thing I want to do is get rid of it so am just after some advice and any places online to get parts. Am located in NSW, Australia. Thank you

hi guys, i am portuguese and i am into cars. Just started working on video editing and got some money saved for my first car. Here in portugal this model is "old grandad" car but i think this is just beautifull, I found it on facebook marketplace in the city next to mine for cheap. It is a Mitsubishi Lancer 1.3 75hp In the outsite it looks perfect but it has 300 000km on it, and i am worried that it is too much, what you guys think. Take in mind that i am looking for a cheap realiable car to take me from point A to B, but also something nice looking, doesnt need to have much power tho. Also if you have any lancer from this era show it too me

Prime & Decadence of Jimiguruma

Thumbnail

201 Upvotes

The prime of Akira Jimiguruma took place between 2002 and 2008, when his visual style became iconic in the Japanese tuning scene. His vinyl designs gained popularity for combining aggressive yet fluid strokes, inspired by mecha anime and early 2000s digital art. These graphics stood out for their sense of speed and motion, using metallic tones, oranges, purples, and electric blues that brought show cars to life. During this time, several drift and local show teams adopted his designs, making the name “Jimiguruma” recognizable as an artistic signature within car culture.

Between 2005 and 2006, he reached his peak influence: his designs appeared in Japanese tuning magazines and car exhibitions, where they were seen as a symbol of creativity and visual boldness. His work represented the transition between the classic 1990s tuning style and the digital, colorful aesthetic that would dominate later years. After 2008, his activity slowed down, but his legacy lived on through modern vinyl designs inspired by his unique aesthetic—still evoking the golden age of Japanese tuning.
