In total there were three AE86s on the paddock. Yesterday I already posted the purple Corolla AE86 with the BEAMS 3S-GE conversion, so how about this red Corolla AE86 with some deep dished SSR dori-dori rims?

His Corolla Levin AE86 started its life as a Swiss red panda Corolla GT and slowly he migrated it to a driftstyle hachi.

He actually downgraded its looks by removing the Vertex bumpers. Personally I like it much better with the stock bumpers back on again: mimics the grassroots JDM driftstyle much better!
BTW: The photo was a bit of over exposed on the left due to inserting the film.

The hachi is owned by my friend Oldskull and I still think it is amazing what he does to it! The SSR Dori-doris are just a small example how great you can make a hachi look!

I had a good laugh when I watched this short video of kimiga aruzide shitsuziga orede where a Lincoln Town Car limo goes downhill sideways head to head with a BNR32 GTR!

Obviously the Town Car wins! :D :D
(or should it be called Lincoln Touge Car then?)

I found a bunch of Nissan Skyline R32 catalogue scans and thought it would be a great idea to glue them together into one single image. So behold the whole Nissan Skyline R32 range:

Nissan Skyline R32 all models
I never knew there was so much variety in the Skyline R32 range! I thought it only consisted of the GTS25, GTS-T, GTS4, GT-R and (of course) the GT-R Vspec. So the GXi, GTE and GTS models were quite a surprise to me...
Also funny to see how they used the lights to accentuate all other cars in the range to have the same widened fenders as the GT-R.

BTW: reminds me I still have to copy-paste such an image of all Silvia Generations

I saw this amazing video containing all Japanese Nissan Skyline commercials being announced a few weeks back on a Minkara blog:

Nissan Skyline Japanese commercials collection
This DVD covers almost all models: from the second generation (S50), third generation (C10 aka hakosuka), fourth (C110 aka Kenmeri) and up to the tenth generation (R34)!

I was able to find the DVD on Amazon Japan (スカイライン CMコレクション [DVD]), but I haven't seen it for sale elsewhere... Now if only the shipping costs from Japan weren't that steep... :(

We all know the famous Bee*R R324 conversions. Ever since they became available they are flooding the forums! So let's kick off with a nice example in Finland:

Now, that's the old style...

Let's have a look at the the new style B☆RS ER34:

I know, I know... Most of you don't like the B☆RS at all! But think about it as what most people thought about JDM car styling 10 years ago... Will this be our future?
