WTF: Initial D dating sim! Moero Downhill Night

November 2, 2009 / banpei / 5 Comments

Moero Downhill Night 2 was my WTF moment of the week:

Yes, that is right: a downhill racing dating sim! WTF?! ?(‘?`?)?

Now, a dating sim isn’t that shocking, but keep in mind that this is an Hentai dating sim! So, cars, downhill racing, babes and X-rated scenes all together in one game? The developers must have thought why not combine all great things boys like?! And when that turned out to be a success they created this second game! ?´???

Car lineup is a nice one! Cars seen in the intro so far are: a black/red Suzuki Capuchino, a lotus Elise, a yellow Toyota Supra JZA70, a white Toyota MR2 SW20, a panda Trueno, a white Nissan Silvia S14, a Toyota Celica ST162 (?) and last but not least, a silver Nissan Skyline KPGC10! ( ? ??)

The fun part is that the game can be yours for only $24.95!

DOTS: 1985 Suzuki Alto SS40

November 1, 2009 / banpei / 1 Comment

This one is especially for Beeoneoneoh!

Suzuki Alto SS40 (Suzuki Fronte)
Normally I just take pictures of every “old” J-tin I come by and it just sits there in a directory on my harddrive. Normally it will never come out again, but every since I read his posting about his SS40 fetish I really had to post this one. ;)

Suzuki Alto SS40 (Suzuki Fronte)
This particular SS40 looked like it belongs to an old lady: it had everything from pictures of (grand)children on its dash till the sheepcloth cover for the steering wheel! And it only travelled 60000 kilometers!

According to the vehicle registration site it was sold to a new owner two years ago, so sale from granny to granny?

The car is practically rust free, except for this hole:

Suzuki Alto SS40 (Suzuki Fronte)
Probably once had a scratch and then deteriorated during its 24 years lifetime.

Another flaw was the front bumper:

Suzuki Alto SS40 (Suzuki Fronte)
Some mild damage deformed it but actually it is like nothing compared to most 24 year old cars!

So, there is only one way to save it properly: slam it to the ground with a set of SSR Mk II rims and add some fender mirrors and a big noisy exhaust to make it complete!

Nissan in 1965

October 31, 2009 / banpei / 3 Comments

Some time ago I saw an ad on Marktplaats selling a brochure Nissan 1965 without any picture with it. The description sounded good, it was fairly cheap (considering the age of it) and I contacted the seller. He didn’t have any possibility to send me pictures so I took the “risk”. Few days later this arrived:

Brochure Nissan 1965
It is actually a book of 50 pages and it is entirely in English. It was meant to be given away to new possible import companies and dealerships.

Brochure Nissan 1965
It shows the modernized Nissan during the early 60s: a modern car lineup, healthy figures, four modern production plants and even a test facility! Their growth is amazing during the late 50s and early 60s: between 20% and 25% growth each year!

Brochure Nissan 1965
As you can see: they have a model for almost everyone! On the front row the Fairladies on the left, the bluebird 410s in the middle and the new Silvia on the right. On the second row all the Cedrics are lined up. On the remaining rows all the utilitarian vehicles are shown.

Brochure Nissan 1965
This is the Oppama plant (????) in Yokosuka with a private pier at the Tokyo Bay and you can also see the test track on the background. The plant was considered the most modern car factory back in 1961 when it was opened and later in 1970 the first car factory to make use of robot welding. The test track is the very same as the one used in the 1960s Nissan Bluebird crashtest videos I posted some time ago.

Brochure Nissan 1965
And of course their latest product: a 1595cc two seater listening to the lovely name Silvia.

There is much much more in this book and I’m very happy I took the gamble to buy this unseen. A true gem! :)

If you thought last weeks Star Trek versus tokusatsu was bad, this is even worse! I watched some more of the The WTF Moments in Tokusatsu and picked the best ones for you, starting with this one:

Loved that one? How about showing some more love…

Already hungry for more? Skip till 0:31 for this one:

And last but not least, this one has a great surprise at 0:56…

Let’s all fight in front of a Toyota Soarer Z10! :D

And the great thing is they keep on posting more and more of that stuff here!

Comments working again?!

October 29, 2009 / banpei / 2 Comments

B-San sent me an email through the contact form pointing me out that when you sent in a comment it would take ages to submit and after some time it just gives the error message “service unavailable”. Thanks for that! ;)

I tried it myself without being logged in (normally I am logged in when replying) and it gave me the same error. I disabled the spam filtering to see if that resolves anything and all of a sudden it worked again.

I guess the spam filtering providers has some difficulties and sent them an email. I keep the spam filtering disabled until I cleared that up. ;)

Of course, if it works for me it doesn’t say anything about that it will work for others. So please let me know if everything works okay now!

Doing the Itsuki IRL

October 29, 2009 / banpei / 0 Comments

TonyA. from FuzzyFeeling posted some old videos from some Silvias drifting on Mikuni pass way way back in 2003 by Youtube user kcrmsr. kcrmsr posted some other videos as well so naturally I browsed all of them till there was no video left to watch. ;)

This one was a quite funny one, where he is doing an Itsuki in one of the Silvias (starting at 1:09):

People who have seen Initial D will probably know exactly what I mean with doing an Itsuki, for others: in the episode “The Rainy Downhill!” from Stage One Kenta Nakamura (member of the Red Suns) challenges Takumi for a downhill race in the rain on Mt. Myogi. Takumi accepts and asks Itsuki (who hitched a ride from Takumi) to sit on the rear bench of the Trueno. In effect Itsuki adds extra weight on the rear wheels while tumbling from left to right (and vice versa) through the interior of the Trueno.

As you can see, IRL it is the same. The guy can’t even sit straight while cornering the first three turns and on the last turn he almost ticks over…
