It doesn't happen very often anymore that I encounter interesting cars down on the streets. Finding a interesting Japanese sportscar like this Nissan 200SX RS13 is quite rare and what is even rarer: it is used as a grassroots drift car!

Nissan 180SX RS13 drifter
Judging from the side this car has seen some action already. And what was more surprising: the 200SX passed me a couple of days later and the driver turned out to be a girl.

The rear of the car was empty and a strutbrace was placed between the two rear towers to give the body more stiffness.

How cool can your daddy be? Well if he drives a heavily modified S13 in 1997 he can surely drive his daughter around town during daytime:

And drift down narrow touges with his mates at night:

I had some good laughs on this Itasha video posted by youtuubeblows! Especially at the part where everybody starts dancing (@3:11) in their cosplay outfits and with the Evangalion itasha-van (or should that be dekoitasha?)! Not only does it show some Itasha to look at but also a serious otaku driftcar:

The Haruhi Racing Silvia S15 is a very beautiful one and apparently, judging by the screams by the Itasha girl, it can go sideways as well as any other drift car!

Now how long would it take before the Itasha catches on like this?

I found another video of some Japanese gravure idols praising Drift products
(may be considered NSFW in some countries!):

How about this Super Single girlclutch? And some Bee☆R (rims) with that? Or do you need to upgrade your (drive) shaft for that girl? Or is your firehose empty already? Oh man, this stuff cracks me up! What a bunch of bad jokes! :D :D

Happy new year!

Let's hope 2010 will bring us all a great start of the new decade!
