Picture of the week: Cedric Royce

banpei — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 05:54:23 +0000

Team Madonna keeps amazing me. First of all the insane hotrod ass-up-face-down Cedric was copied many times already and now what to think about this bizarre creation? Is that a Cedric? Yes it is! If it would have been pink and had six wheels in total it would totally have been Miss Penelope’s 60s Rolls [...]

For sale: Red Bull Carina 2000GT coupe

banpei — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 06:53:09 +0000

Sometimes I wonder how people can part from their pride and joy after they put so much effort in it. This 1979 Carina RA45 kaido racer with Red Bull liverage is no exception to that: If you thought you may have seen it before: you did! It has the rare five speed manual (four was [...]

Meeting Monday

banpei — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:10:13 +0000

This video of the 7th Showa era meeting (already held in 2011) mainly contain normal and kyusha cars… …however there are some really really nice shakotan cars to be seen as well! Especially the Soarer and Skyline R30 in the beginning show how low you can go! Direct link to video: 第７回ちょっと懐かしい昭和のくるま展2011　会場内～

Exhaust of the week: HachiRock victory!

banpei — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 06:07:17 +0000

HachiRock is a well known AE86 festival held in the first weekend of September. Every year around 250 hachi-rokus will gather and show off. Apparently in 2006 someone showed off his hachi with some very wide overfenders (and deep dished wheels) and a set of victory pipes: Found at ae85

Friday video: JCCA NYM parkinglot walk

banpei — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:55:13 +0000

Hattoriworks walked around on the JCCA NYM parkinglot and shot a couple of the kaido racers around there. The most interesting one is the white pigsbutt Laurel with a 03 number on it. Makes it look like the Japanese counterpart of a wellknown orange Charger with 01 on it. (video on the next page) Direct [...]

Picture of the week: starsharked Japan

banpei — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:55:27 +0000

Only a picture of the nose of the car? Well, do you need more than that? There is so much win in only the nose of this Skyline C211 Japan: 1. Oil cooler lines sticking out of the grille and going back into the bumper! 2. Super Silhouette-like hood fins 3. Star Sharks 4. Typical [...]

Demon camber Alto Works

banpei — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:51:00 +0000

Demon camber cars or bippu rides are not something we generally post here, but this insane Alto Works has to be shared! Just imagine driving this on the highway… (video on the next page!) I guess high speed driving would certainly shred the tires to pieces! Direct link to video: 鬼キャンアルトワークス　in GSO Vol.7

Valentine’s day: flowers for Mary

banpei — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:30:27 +0000

Obviously on Valentine’s day Ken should give flowers to Mary. So why not add flowers to your Kenmeri Skyline tail lights then? Okay, not entirely true: the tail lights surrounding reveals that it is actually a Yonmeri item, but Yonmeri sounds less romantic than Kenmeri. Found at Minkara

Meeting Monday

banpei — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:48:11 +0000

Ky Ra also posted up a video of the JCCA NYM 2012 on Flickr with lots of old kyusha kai, shakotan and kaido racer goodness! Enjoy 1:21 of JDM classic traffic jam! (Video on the next page!)

Sunday video: not the mother of all kaido racers

banpei — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 05:22:09 +0000

It is always nice if new footage of a Tomica Skyline RS Turbo pops up. However this time it is not the Super Silhouette Formula car but the Group C car! It is driven in the Fuji 500km race in the 1983 Japan Endurance Championship: (video on the next page) The car is driven by [...]
