WTF: Skull Equipped Cedric Y30

No votes yet

In one of the Showa Meeting galleries I found a couple of Nissan GloriasCedric Y30s where one licenseplate stated it was Moon Equipped, but I surely had to disagree:
Skull Equipped Cedric Y30
Skull Equipped Cedric Y30

Yes, it is more Skull Equipped than Moon Equipped!

Here is a closeup of that grille:
More skulls after the jump!


WTF: Liteace on Celica alloys

No votes yet

I spotted this picture with a nice looking Bluebird SSS 510 on PhilsCarBlog , but it wasn't the 510 that drew my attention:

It was the Liteace!
Why? Because it is sitting on a set of Celica A40 alloys somewhere in 1989!
Why? Because you can!


WTF: AE86 N2 with a 4.5A-GE?

Your rating: None Average: 5 (1 vote)

You probably are (very) well known with the 4A-GE, you may have heard from the 7A-GE or even heard from the 5A-GE. But a 4.5A-GE? Probably never!
RS YASU 4.5A-GE
RS YASU 4.5A-GE

To clarify some things: the 7A-GE is a 1.8 litre engine made by combining a 4A-GE head and a 7A-FE bottom. The 5A-GE is a 1.7 litre (1720cc) engine made by replacing the crank and conrods with a (HKS) stroker kit. Both engines increase the capacity compared to a normal 4A-GE but because of their longer stroke they are renowned to be slower in response...

The 4.5A-GE is a standard 4A-GE with oversized pistons (83mm instead of 81mm) bringing up the capacity to 1.7 litre (1675cc) and is just as responsive as the normal 4A-GE. RS YASU is renowned for doing this conversion and of course the engine in the picture above is their showcase!

And here is the monster that is powered by that engine:
RS YASU Corolla Levin AE86 N2 4.5A-GE
RS YASU Corolla Levin AE86 N2 4.5A-GE

Yum yum yum! Can't wait to hear what that engine sounds like! :)


WTF: AE86 disco LED tail lights?

No votes yet

Probably already posted one hundred times before, but nevertheless some very interesting AE86 taillights:

I did see some ordinary led taillights for the AE86 before but these tail lights from Wataruworks are just insane! :D

In case you really want them, you can buy them from Wataruworks at Auctions Yahoo. (And use a company like Rinkya to get them handled and shipped!)
Lucky enough Wataruworks also sell normal looking led lights... ;)

Initial D: Bunta has sold the Toyota Ipsum

I came accross this image on Mattari's blog and it reminded me of the Toyota Ipsum posting I made a year ago...

Too bad the video has been removed now... In a nutshell: it contained another Fujiwara Tofu replica parked in front of the tofu shop and in the background a Toyota Ipsum (Picnic outside Japan) was parked next to the tofu shop on the same spot the AE86 used to be parked... So apparently Bunta has sold the Ipsum! :D

Anyway, below this picture there was a whole (2chan) thread copied in which a couple of users wrote a funny Initial D spoof! I advice you to go to Mattari's blog and read the whole story (with Google Translate for instance)! ;)
