Carina Sightings: Hokkaido 4A-GE goodness!

September 7, 2011 in carina sightings

On the 23rd of August a couple of 4A-GE powered AE86s, a KE70 and a AA63 were attacking the track in Chitose, Hokkaido. Enjoy this 7 minutes of 4A-GE goodness!

The Carina AA63 is presumable the same as the one winning D1SL North two years ago.

DOTS: 1990 Nissan 200SX drifter

August 28, 2011 in dots


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!

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.

Extra gauges are placed in the A pilar:

The body had a matte respray not too long ago and I must admit the matte finish makes this car stand out even more!

Family Album Treasures: daytime daddy, nighttime drifter

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:

Hilarious: Otaku drifting!

October 8, 2010 in hilarious

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?

Hilarious: the Japanese way of praising new drift products! (part 2)

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
