The Nissan Silvia S13 in the foreground shows that early 90s cars can be used as kaido racers as well! Maybe even better than the Chaser GX71 next to it! Found at Minkara

Part swaps: potential victims!

As a follow up on yesterdays post: some potential part swap victims at the JCCA New Year Meeting! Or would that be considered a crime? Found at Minkara

Part swaps: Yonmeri with Cherry X-1R tail lights

banpei — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:36:19 +0000

I do see more and more of these X-1R tail light swaps nowadays so could that mean someone in Japan found a buried treasure chest with unused stock of Cherry X-1R tail lights? Or could it be that someone is reproducing them? Also note that the rear door handles have been removed on this Yonmeri [...]

How deep is your dish?

I hope they are deeper than this 10J wide SSR Star Shark rim at the JCCA NYM 2012: It shows that 13 inch is nothing near being considered too small and the 225 wide Dunlops are stretched nicely. Also just look at the reflection in that dish! Beautiful!

Meeting Monday

Last week we had footage from the Awaji Island Old Car New Year meeting and this week we got another New Year Meeting: the JCCA New Year Meeting 2012! Every year the JCCA NYM is a spectacular sight because not only classics but also exotics and kaido racers show up: And this last category has [...]

Picture of the week: Tri-horned Soarer

banpei — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:23:38 +0000

Not that this Soarer is seriously modded, but the blinded headlight and horns sticking out of where the grille is supposed to be is a good sign! Found at Minkara

How deep is your dish?

How deep is the dish on this Suzuki Fronte SS40 at the Awaji Island meeting? Not that deep considering that these SSR Formula Mesh are probably only 10 inch in diameter. Still the dish is a good 25% of the diameter and looks maniacal! This one is especially for Tijs Lochbaum who is currently seeking [...]

Part Swaps: C210 Special Z

banpei — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:23:13 +0000

Another video by Shakotanbugi taken at the Old Car New Year 2012 meeting in Awaji Island. This time he featured a Fairlady Z with extended bubble flares, quad pipe twin exhaust system and a pair of Skyline C210 tail lights. Perfect for the part swaps! Direct link to video: Special Z

Shakotanbugi was this week present at the Old Car New Year 2012 meeting in Awaji Island (near Kobe) and he shared a lot of videos on Youtube! Various kaido racers were present. Take for instance this Cresta GX71 with Falken livery: Or this Kenmeri Skyline: Also watch this overview video: Note the car at 0:30. [...]

Exhaust of the week: Tokyo Auto Salon Mark II

banpei — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 05:48:31 +0000

There was no doubt about it: this Mark II at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 has to be the exhaust of this week! Unfortunately I have only been able to source one more pictures of this beauty, so you will have to do with this smallish picture then: \ There is so much win in [...]
