Toyota Soarer Z1 rims

On a Celica Supra forum I found a topic about a Japanese Celica XX Meeting. For those who don’t know the Celica XX: outside Japan it got sold as the Celica Supra MK2, also known as the MA6x and the GA6x. So it shares the same platform as the Celica and Carina A6.

I this topic I found a picture of one Celica XX wearing Toyota Soarer MK1 rims:
JDM Toyota Soarer MK1 Z1 rims, same as Celica Supra rims but with different centercaps

Normally I would have called them “Celica Supra rims”, just like I did with my rims on the Carina. Technically they aren’t Celica Supra rims since they featured on the Celica, Carina and Soarer as well.

Anyway, as you can see the Soarer rims have the Soarer logo (a griffin) on the centercaps instead of the Toyota logo on the normal rims. Of course I love to have these centercaps on my rims as well! Anyone got a set of those centercaps lying around?? ;)

Funny Japanese D1GP poster

Speedhunters already made a posting about it yesterday, but today and tomorrow is the D1GP final.Daigo Saito, Youichi Imamura and Ken Nomura will be fighting for the title of 2008.

Have a look at this funny poster they made:

I think originally Keiichi Tsuchiya thought the pre-last frame was the craziest. ;)

In this final Takahiro Ueno will use his Toyota Soarer for the last time. Sad to see such an icon go. Feels a bit the same as when Katsuhiro Ueo left the AE86 platform. :(

Hilarious: Sonseed – Jesus is my friend

After two weeks of drifting Babe action I thought I should change back to the musical entries. ;)

Not a Last.fm entry because I found this one genuinly through Youtube:

Once I tried to run, once I tried to hide, but Jesus found me and touched me deep down inside.

I personally love 80s ska bands like Madness, Specials (or Special AKA or the Special Beat), Mark Foggo and Mr. Review but I don’t really like this! ;)

I don’t really have anything to say about this except that the guitarist really goes wild at 1:36! ;)

BTW: This is not meant to insult Christian followers. :P
