I think these three videos are about the earliest drift videos to be found on Youtube so far!
Be prepared for an overkill of Hakosuka Skylines, Corolla Levin AE86s and Sprinter Trueno AE86s, (brand new) Nissan Silvia and 180SX S13s, Mazda FCs, MR2 AW11s, Isuzu Gemini, Eunos Roadster, Lancer Turbo, Toyota Carina and even an Isuzu Piazza right at the beginning! Two of the videos are shot on the pass next to Kurume (Fukuokai) and the other one on Yz circuit in Mizunami!

In this second video it really shows how dangerous the drifts of these guys actually were: I stopped counting after the tenth near accident with oncoming traffic!
Other two drift videos on the next page!

I always liked the looks of the seventh generation Lancer, especially when it became available in that awesome EVO package. I really have fond memories of seeing a EVO V up close during a smoke break in 2001 when one of the (shady) business partners of one of my former employers parked it right next to me. I can still remember that awesome sound, those awesome looks and that awesome smell of burnt oil! :)

Anyways, I'm drifting off a bit too much... The Chinese car manufacturer Soueast is building the seventh generation of the Lancer in license. In other words, you can still buy them!

There is also a sports edition with a restyled nose. Let's hope the Chinese are sane enough to offer the EVO versions as well! :)

I know: airbagged cars and Itasha don't mix, but these airbags are a different kind of airbags: they replace the original item of this Lancer Evo V:

Airbags in an itasha Lancer Evo V
Yes, that's of course the perfect airbags for an anime loving itasha owner! ;)

Just for the record, this is how the whole Evo V looks like:

itasha Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V
Very nicely done, but not exactly my cup of tea! ;)

I was looking at old (digital) photographs I took years ago and actually found out I was already shooting DOTS from 2003 onwards! Take for instance this Mitsubishi Lancer:

Down on the Street: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo minus One
Yes, that is indeed an Evo wing on its tail. However the Lancer itself dates before the whole Lancer Evo lineup, so I guess this is a Lancer Evo minus One! :D

Everyone on the interwebs already saw pictures of the Ronal teddybear rims, but did you actually see one IRL?
Ronals and an AE86 after the jump!!
