Friday video: junkyard car crashes

November 18, 2011 / banpei / 0 Comments

Where do stuntmen come from? Well apparently in the Netherlands they first work on a local junkyard for a couple of years!
Krimson37 taped a bunch of the crashes he made in 1992 and I picked out two involving destruction of J-tin.
Small warning in case you understand Dutch: be prepared for some foul language…

First of all a bright yellow Cherry F10 gets vandalized:

Also at 3:25 you can see a crushed first generation Honda Accord while the camera zooms in… When the guy enters the Cherry he is surprised that it even features a rev-counter.

The second video features a first generation Toyota Carina TA14 seeing some Seibu Keisatsu action:

Such a shame…

Family Album Treasures: flared Galant GTO

November 17, 2011 / banpei / 0 Comments

Everything is right in this photo: not only does the Mitsubishi Galant GTO have a set of (fender) flares but also its owner has its share in that!

The GTO is standing on some typically late 70s kyusha shoes: a pair of deep dished Hayashi Streets and the same goes for its owner again. Now if only the GTO was smoking as well it would have been a perfect family album photo!

Carina Sightings: Carina TA63 vs Nissan Silvia S15

November 16, 2011 / banpei / 2 Comments

In the Drift Showdown a Carina TA63 has been put up against a Nissan Silvia S15! That is some serious competition there!
In the showdown Tomikuda drives the Carina while Taniguchi takes care of the S15.

Judging from clipping points and lines the Carina is a definite winner here!

But to be very honest: this Carina TA63 does not feature a 3T-GTE engine anymore. See also this Carina TA63 I posted almost three years ago and compare it with the video above. It is indeed the same Carina and that Carina definitely features a 3S-GTE from a SW20 producing at least 218hp. Judging from the large intercooler and extra large turbo it should have a similar output in horsepower as the S15…

Auto Holiday: September 1982 cover page!

November 15, 2011 / banpei / 0 Comments

The general taste changes a lot during the years, especially concerning what is beautiful and what is not. So what was considered beautiful thirty years ago? Well I guess you can see the general picture here:

Auto Holiday was a magazine for car and leasure for youngs in the early 80s.

We see the leisure here, but what are the cars then?? Continue reading

Car chases: Abunai Deka alternate ending

This stop motion video is very cleverly done: not only does it feature the Abunai Deka Nissan Leopard F31, but also the necessary bad guys in a Toyota Corona 2000GT!

DOTS: Miata hunting (part twentyone)

November 13, 2011 / banpei / 0 Comments

Normally I only spot a Miata once every two weeks. Sometimes I’m lucky and spot two in the same week. Sometimes I’m even luckier and I spot two on the same day. So how lucky was I this week when I spotted these two Mazda MX5 NAs behind each other at the traffic light?

Actually only the top one is a MX5 because the silver NA below the red NA is an imported USDM Miata.
