Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Super Sonico what?
You read it right: a Lancia Stratos Itasha:

Looks quite good, doesn’t it?
And its butt?

Not too bad either!
And en-profile?

WIth a set of oldskool rims it would have looked much better, but apart from that: I’d dig it.
Random picture of a Mark II Grande GX71 I found on Minkara with the same chin spoiler as the Carina GT-TR I posted last week:
Same chin spoiler
I definitely want one! (Both the Mark II and the chin spoiler! ;) )
Last week I realized I haven’t posted about the Nissan 200SX S14 rustoseum since the end of March. Would it still be there?
Yes it is still there:

It is only the beginning of fall, so not many leafs are on it yet…
But the low sun gives a great opportunity to shoot pictures like this:

A bit dark and gloomy looking S14! ;)
Summer didn’t do the car much good either, just take a look at this:

It is not only birdcrap that is on there, there is also mold on the steeringwheel. You will have to focus on the top of the steeringwheel to actually see it… I’ll take my manual lenses with me next time to be able to capture the mold better.
Also the left mirror has been smashed now:

That means the same thing as with the Legend: things will only get worse from now on. :(
I’ll see if I can shoot some pictures of the car covered in leafs upcoming weeks. Would be cool to compare with last years picture. :P
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?
What spot would be the best to sit and enjoy the view on your Hoshino Impuls than on top of your Corona GT-TR 2 door coupe TT140?
Sit on your Corona TT140 coupe
And what else could you do on the streets at night in Japan in the late 80s?
My heart jumped a bit when I saw this CA18DET powered Carina sedan on Youtube:
I don’t understand much from the Malay language but looking at all that shine under the bonnet it surely must be an impressive Carina! :)
Judging from the two tone paint on the bumper it could be based upon a GT-R or a GT-TR.
Any Malaysian visitors know more about this Carina? :?db
