Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Found this funny picture on Doriten: a flatbed truck literally hauling a bunch of RWD Nissans!
Flatbed hauling RWD Nissans
How to keep it together? Just put a big strap around the Siliva S14 and everything will be tied together! :D
For the record:
On top: Nissan Silvia S14
On the bottom rear: Nissan Laurel C35
On the bottom up front: Nissan Gloria Y33
Earlier this week I passed this MX5 during my lunchbreak. It was parked around the corner of the office building where I work and apparently it really stood out. Yet again I have to apologize for the crappy quality of my phonecam, but I didn’t have anything better with me on my after lunch stroll…
1994 Red Mazda MX5 NA
Looking a bit more closeup you can see it has been lowered and modified extensively:

From this side you can already detect an aftermarket spoiler, bumper and sideskirts…
And even closer you can see it has got an aftermarket exhaust, rollbars and you can also recognize the MIM 5400 rims:

Even though I’m not a big fan of these MIM rims I certainly think they look great on this car!
It is the new world record tire stretching: two tires at the same time!
In this video ae86lan is the stretched tires master.
JRotaro posted this very funny video of a guy doing air drifts in the Nikko Circuit paddock/bar. Especially the AE86 (NA 4AGE) is spot on and the JZZ30 is simply hilarious! What else can you expect from a group of drifters who solely breath through their 4AGEs! :D
I suspect it is 86jnosakuretu48te who did this marvelous performance. ;)
jrotaro did post a few vids of the AE86 air drifts before:
Now is this little girl doing baton twirling or Bojutsu in front of her daddy’s C210?
Bojutsu Skyline C210
It surely is a very nice Skyline Japan: presumably a 2000GT with some deep dish SSR Mk1s (I reckon something like 8J) and (after market?) front fenders with big breathing gills! And in the background a nice Mark II X30 hardtop coupe and what looks like the headlights of an Isuzu 117 coupe.
According to the source the picture was taken around 1990. Found at uvj*9’s blog
Yesterday evening was a sad one: I read Alexi’s latest post on Nori Yaho and discovered the Haruna tofushop (aka the Fujiwara tofushop in Initial D) has been demolished:
Fujiwara Tofushop was once here…
Where you see that big empty space in the picture above, used to be the shop as shown in the picture below:
Fujiwara Tofushop in its full glory
Sad, sad, sad….
So, Bunta now has enough space to park the Toyota Ipsum (Picnic). :D
You can read all the details about Alexi’s trip to Mount Haruna on Nori Yaro.
