Team är-kªn’: A Passion to Drive, Alberto’s Varis Evo X
Photos by RJ Deslate, Words by Alvin Thai
I’d first like to start by apologizing to Team Arkan, our readers, and my fellow CXH members for lagging on these features. I’m caught up in a lot of stuff right now, falling behind in school, and other things that I won’t get into. But before I went to bed tonight I had to clear my mind a bit with some nice writing and car blogging. It’s kind of funny how most people I know (including myself) dread writing material like it’s an impossible 25 page essay. The truth is though, once I start these pages it brings me a sort of peace of mind and fullfilment that I am doing what I love and pursuing one of my many passions. That’s what life all about isn’t it? PASSION, without this what would life be?
Passion, is what drives us into doing great things. Whether it’s becoming the ultimate athlete, singing your heart out, or building a magnificent car, passion is what we live for. It is with this passion that what lay before you today is possible. This team definately has a lot of passion for cars. Just look at this Evo X below, it doesn’t look like it was built overnight with last minute decisions and mickey mouse craftsmenship. It screams an essence of unity and quality.

Today we have have a very special feature to bring you, it is our exclusive interview with artist Xander Walker. Walker works with the medium of stencils and spray paint. Sound familiar? It’s as if Banksy painted legendary cars. But Xander Walker is no Banksy biter, he has a true passion for motorsports and has his own story to tell. Please continue reading to learn more about Xander and his exceptional work.
Fan: Miles Johnson
A day has 24 hours and is no different then the next or the one before. Subtract a normal sleeping habit of 8 recommended hours and you are left with 16 hours to do as you please. Fresh out of high school Miles Johnson spends his day making stencils and paintings for his friends and things he loves. What really started out as a personal experiment with paint ended up as an obsession to improve that would consume more then 16 hours. His paintings are mostly for friends and family who request them, making money isn’t part of the game. For Miles its all about the joy of actually creating a painting that people can be pleased with.
So before I show you what he created for Cars x Hype here are a few of his paintings:
Cars X Hype Exclusive Interview: Fielding Shredder
Today we are pleased to bring you an exclusive interview with Pro-Am drifter, Fielding Shredder. I first saw Fielding last year Shredding it up (see what I did there) in XDC at Texas Motor Speedway. Being a great drifter and Texas native, the crowd went wild for him and his yellow S14! I knew I had to find out more about this man and his drift machine. Luckily I had the privilege to meet up with Mr. Shredder at a Fast Five premier event, but there was something a little different about his 240sx since the last time I saw it…..

Ruijin’s 06′ STI: A Clean WIP
We all have to start somewhere. And although Ruijin’s journey has come a long way, it is far from over.
We have all been there; High school, watch a few car movies, start to notice others’ cars, begin developing our own tastes (usually on par with our friends’.) Eventually, we decide we have to have the best. We have to drive the best. But the best is too expensive when you are a high schooler with no job. So we start out small and work our way up. Ruijin Garcia started out “small” with a Toyota ae86 and an M3. For five years, he spent time building them up. But his dream car was always the Subaru Impreza STI. And with a price tag of about $36,000 at the time, he had to wait it out till he could afford one. Click Continue Reading for more read & pics
