This weekend was the 1st official practice at the WPMC. It was quite the awesome turn out of cars, it looks like this years 2012 season is going to rock. This is the Porsche GT2RS that races in Sports cars, its definitly one of my favourite cars that race at Killarney.Zack Groenewald Chevy performed like a boss last year, the car was thrown sideways around the track and still managed to pull a respectable time.

Its awesome to see the Studebaker back on the track after its accident last year. The …

Its been a while since we have posted a “Random Image” on Automodified. I came across this awesome image of this BMW M3 E92 with a set of Works wheels with a super sweet Pearlescent paint job on them. Does anybody know of a car in South Africa with Pearlescent wheels on it?

Well its been a while since iv actually dropped a blog that iv taken some decent photos for. Im pretty sure that most of our Cape Town readers attended the Fast, Furious and Glamorous event at Killarney on the 26th of December. I hope you guys all enjoyed your new years and are as glad as I am to be back at work. I know that sounds a bit odd but you have to admit it can get very expensive staying at home for that period.

What makes MSA Drags different from Street2Strip?

In short, no long queues between runs

After each event there is also a prize giving where you could possibly take home trophies and/or prize monies (TBC). ALL drag racing runs will be published after each event.

Its been a very long time since we posted some of the Midweek Eye Candi pics. How ever this isn’t exactly a midweek post but non the less we thought it would be wise to share such and image of this Ford Focus with you. Notice the amazing badge that the Focus RS is sporting.

I took some time off from my hectic schedule to make a turn at the annual Streetmod Motorshow over the weekend. Thanks to Marlize Hoon for dragging me along. This event took place at the Good Hope Centre and was one promising one not to be missed by all petrolheads. Once again the Mother City’s modfathers and sisters didn’t disappoint the crowd.
The main floor was packed with some awesome metal ranging from some of the hottest hotrods to Cape Town’s finest modified mobiles. The basement was allocated to the …

These days cars are looking hotter and hotter in their OEM state. Take for example this Ford Focus RS, its got the standard trimings, but an aftermarket set of rims that have been resprayed Frozen Blue with the mirrors to match and a set of coilovers. Now lets be honest, that looks totally awesome just as is, right?
Would you do anything else to this Ford Focus RS to try improve the look?

Goodhope FM and Streetmodz present The Ultimate Motor Fest 2011.

Over the years Motown has become one of those name that you associate with awesome V8 power. Motown is based down here in Cape Town. Ralph the owner has been rebuilding his 1000HP Chev Firenza Can Am over the last couple of months to hopefully brake into the 8 second bracket. His car used to run 9′s down the Killarney strip a good couple of times. So we managed to borrow a couple of the build pics of his rebuild of the Chev, Ralph is now aiming a little lower …
